In this paper we study reducibility of those representations of quasi-split unitary p-adic groups which are parabolically induced from supercuspidal representations of general linear groups. For a supercuspidal representation associated via Howe’s construction to an admissible character, we show that in many cases a criterion of Goldberg for reducibility of the induced representation reduces to...

Real-time character recognition in video frames has been attracting great attention from developers since scene text recognition was recognized as a new field of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) applications. There are thousands of characters in some oriental languages such as Japanese and Chinese, and the character recognition takes much longer time in general compared with European languag...

This paper concerns character sheaves of connected reductive algebraic groups defined over non-Archimedean local fields and their relation with characters of smooth representations. Although character sheaves were devised with characters of representations of finite groups of Lie type in mind, character sheaves are perfectly well defined for reductive algebraic groups over any algebraically clo...

[1] Inverse methods are used to investigate whether the observed changes in El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) character since the 1970’s climate shift are consistent with a change in the linear ENSO dynamics. Linear Inverse Models (LIMs) are constructed from tropical sea surface temperature (SST), thermocline depth, and zonal wind stress anomalies from the periods 1958–1977 and 1978–1997. Eac...

This paper describes on-line recognition of handwritten Lao characters by adopting Markov random field (MRF). The character set to recognize includes consonants, vowels and tone marks, 52 characters in total. It extracts feature points along the pen-tip trace from pen-down to pen-up, and then sets each feature point from an input pattern as a site and each state from a character class as a labe...

An abundance of information regarding the structure of a finite group can be obtained by studying its irreducible characters. Of particular interest are monomial characters — those induced from a linear character of some subgroup — since Brauer has shown that any irreducible character of a group can be written as an integral linear combination of monomial characters. Our primary focus is the cl...

Denote by S the projective special linear group PSL2(q) over the field of q elements. We determine, for all values of q > 3, the degrees of the irreducible complex characters of every group H such that S 6 H 6 Aut(S). We also determine the character degrees of certain extensions of the special linear group SL2(q). Explicit knowledge of the character tables of SL2(q), GL2(q), PSL2(q), and PGL2(q...

Human visual recognition on the basis of shape but regardless of size was investigated by reaction time methods. For successive matching of random figures, reaction time increased linearly with the linear size ratio of stimulus pairs. For single-character classification, reaction time increased with divergence between cued size format and stimulus format such that for character nonrepetitions, ...
