Abstract

Let pp be a prime number, let HH be a finite pp-group, and let F\mathbb{F} be a field of characteristic 0, considered as a trivial FOut(H)\mathbb{F} \mathrm{Out}(H)-module. The main result of this paper gives the dimension of the evaluation SH,F(G)S_{H,\mathbb{F}}(G) of the simple biset functor SH,FS_{H,\mathbb{F}} at an arbitrary finite group GG. A closely related result is proved in the last section: for each prime number pp, a Green biset functor EpE_p is introduced, as a specific quotient of the Burnside functor, and it is shown that the evaluation Ep(G)E_p(G) is a free abelian group of rank equal to the number of conjugacy classes of pp-elementary subgroups of GG.
