Finite groups of Lie type

Applications for exploring finite groups of Lie type and their unipotent structure. These apps are powered by a TypeScript port of PyCox by Meinolf Geck and of parts of the GAP3/Chevie package by Jean Michel.

  • Unipotent Characters — display the unipotent characters of a reductive group with generic degrees, fake degrees, Frobenius eigenvalues, and Lusztig family labels.
  • Unipotent Classes — enumerate the unipotent conjugacy classes of a reductive group, together with the component groups A(u)A(u), Bala–Carter–Dynkin labels, dimensions of Springer fibres, and Springer correspondence data.
  • ICC Table — compute the intersection-cohomology multiplicity polynomials PXi,Lj(q)P_{X_i,\,L_j}(q) for a Springer series, displayed as a matrix over the polynomial ring Z[q]\mathbb{Z}[q].
  • X-Table — values of character sheaves XiX_i on local systems LjL_j or unipotent classes; also shows the companion YY-matrix.
  • Green Table — Green functions Qϕ,j(q)Q_{\phi,j}(q): values of relative-Weyl-group characters on local systems or unipotent classes.
  • Unipotent Values — values of unipotent characters on local systems or unipotent classes.
  • Deligne–Lusztig Character — expand the Deligne–Lusztig character RT(1)R_T(1) in the basis of unipotent characters, specifying the torus TT either by conjugacy class or by a Coxeter word.
  • Green Polynomial Entry — look up a single Green polynomial Qϕ,j(q)Q_{\phi,j}(q) by selecting a row and column from the Green table.
  • Unipotent Value Entry — look up a single unipotent character value Rϕ,L(q)R_{\phi,L}(q) by selecting a row and column from the unipotent-values table.
