项目摘要

Representation theory of Lie groups and Lie algebras has been a topic at the heart of mathematics for over 100 years with wide-ranging applications in mathematics and physics. This subject has origins in the view of Felix Klein in the 19th century that geometry of spacetime should be governed by its group of symmetries and the subsequent pioneering work of Sophus Lie to develop a theory of symmetries for differential equations.Lie groups can be viewed as continuous symmetries of geometric objects. For example, a circle has infinitely many symmetries, namely rotations and reflections, which we can vary in a continuous way. Taking a step back we are able to view a Lie group more abstractly, and then representation theory provides the language to understand the different ways that a Lie group can act as symmetries. The Lie algebra of a Lie group is a first order approximation of a Lie group, which is more accessible to study, but retains all the local structure of the group. The abundance of continuous symmetry in mathematics and physics explains the wide ranging applications of this theory.In the 1950s the "analytic theory" of Lie groups and Lie algebras was extended so that it can approached more algebraically, and this spurned a large area of mathematics now known as algebraic Lie theory. This is one of the most active areas of mathematics research today, which finds diverse applications across the physical sciences. An important area of algebraic Lie theory is the representation theory of modular Lie algebras. These Lie algebras can be thought of as versions of real or complex Lie algebras where usual arithmetic using real or complex numbers is replaced by modular arithmetic as is used in coding theory and cryptography.The aim of this project is to exploit exciting recent developments in algebraic Lie theory to give a new perspective of the representation theory of modular Lie algebras. In order to understand representations of Lie algebras, we want to associate numerical data, which governs the structure of the representations. The most important pieces of data are the dimension and characters, and the ambitious goal of this project is to develop a methods for determining formulae for these.

李群和李代数的表示理论是数学的核心课题，在数学和物理学中有着广泛的应用。这一课题起源于世纪的费利克斯·克莱因（Felix Klein）的观点，即时空的几何应该由它的对称性群来支配，以及随后的索菲斯·李（Sophus Lie）的开创性工作，发展了微分方程的对称性理论。李群可以被看作是几何对象的连续对称性。例如，一个圆有无限多个对称性，即旋转和反射，我们可以以连续的方式改变。退一步讲，我们能够更抽象地看待李群，然后表示论提供了理解李群可以作为对称的不同方式的语言。李群的李代数是李群的一阶近似，它更容易研究，但保留了群的所有局部结构。连续对称性在数学和物理中的丰富性解释了这个理论的广泛应用。在20世纪50年代，李群和李代数的“解析理论”得到了扩展，使它可以更代数化地处理，这抛弃了现在被称为代数李理论的一个大的数学领域。这是当今数学研究中最活跃的领域之一，在物理科学中有着广泛的应用。代数李理论的一个重要领域是模李代数的表示理论。这些李代数可以被认为是真实的或复杂的李代数的版本，其中通常使用真实的或复数的算术被用于编码理论和密码学的模算术所取代。为了理解李代数的表示，我们想要关联控制表示结构的数值数据。最重要的数据是尺寸和字符，该项目的宏伟目标是开发一种确定这些公式的方法。
