Supercharacter Theories of Type A Unipotent Radicals and Unipotent Polytopes
Abstract.
Even with the introduction of supercharacter theories, the
representation theory of many unipotent groups remains
mysterious. This paper constructs a family of supercharacter theories
for normal pattern groups in a way that exhibit many of the
combinatorial properties of the set partition combinatorics of the
full uni-triangular groups, including combinatorial indexing sets,
dimensions, and computable character formulas. Associated with these
supercharacter theories is also a family of polytopes whose integer
lattice points give the theories geometric underpinnings.
