Endomorphisms of Deligne-Lusztig varieties
François Digne, Jean Michel
This paper is a following to math.RT/0410454. For a finite group of Lie type we study the endomorphisms, commuting with the group action, of a Deligne-Lusztig variety associated to…
Hurwitz action on tuples of Euclidean reflections
Jean Michel
We show that if a tuple of Euclidean reflections has a finite orbit under the Hurwitz action of the Artin braid group, then the group generated by these reflections is finite. Hump…
Explicit presentations for exceptional braid groups
David Bessis, Jean Michel
We give presentations for the braid groups associated with the complex reflection groups and . For the cases of , , and , we give…
The space of unipotently supported class functions on a finite reductive group
F. Digne, G. Lehrer, J. Michel
We determine the Lusztig restrictions on the space of class functions with a unipotent support on a finite reductive group. In particular we give a simple expression for the Luszti…
Springer theory in braid groups and the Birman-Ko-Lee monoid
David Bessis, Francois Digne, Jean Michel
We state a conjecture about centralizers of certain roots of central elements in braid groups, and check it for Artin braid groups and some other cases. Our proof makes use of resu…
