On total Springer representations for the symplectic Lie algebra in characteristic 2 and the exotic case (Q6164896)

This article is concerned with the Springer theory of Weyl groups of type \(BC_n\). The two main theorems provide formulas for the restriction of total Springer representations to the maximal parabolic subgroup of type \(BC_{n-1}\), for the Springer theory arising from the nilpotent cone of a symplectic Lie algebra in characteristic \(2\) and for the Springer theory arising from the exotic nilpotent cone of [\textit{S. Kato}, Duke Math. J. 148, No. 2, 305--371 (2009; Zbl 1183.20002)]. The author also explains that the two formulas become equivalent via the comparison of the two aforementioned Springer theories in [\textit{S. Kato}, Am. J. Math. 133, No. 2, 519--553 (2011; Zbl 1242.20056)] and he demonstrates how they can be used to examine the existence of affine pavings of Springer fibers for the symplectic Lie algebra in characteristic \(2\).
