The formulas for subregular characters of the unitriangular Lie group are obtained. The supports of regular and subregular characters are described in terms of the orbit method.

We define and study supercharacters of the classical finite unipotent groups of symplectic and orthogonal types (over any finite field of odd characteristic). We show how supercharacters for groups of those types can be obtained by…

Let $U$ be the unitriangular group over a finite field. We consider an interesting class of irreducible complex characters of $U$, so-called characters of depth 2. This is a next natural step after characters of maximal and submaximal…

Let $U_n(q)$ denote the upper triangular group of degree $n$ over the finite field $\F_q$ with $q$ elements. It is known that irreducible constituents of supercharacters partition the set of all irreducible characters $\Irr(U_n(q)).$ In…

We propose upper bounds for the number of modular constituents of the restriction modulo $p$ of a complex irreducible character of a finite group, and for its decomposition numbers, in certain cases.

In this article we extend independent results of Lusztig and H\'ezard concerning the existence of irreducible characters of finite reductive groups, (defined in good characteristic and arising from simple algebraic groups), satisfying a…

We obtain nontrivial bounds for character sums with multiplicative and additive characters over finite fields over elements with restricted coordinate expansion. In particular, we obtain a nontrivial estimate for such a sum over a finite…

We construct the supercharacter theory for the finite groups of triangular type. Its special case is the supercharacter theory for algebra groups of P.Diaconis and I.M.Isaacs. The supercharacter analog of the A.A. Kirillov formula for…

In this work, we classify all finite groups such that for every field extension F of \mathbb{Q}, F is the field of values of at most 3 irreducible characters.

Let $\UT_n(q)$ denote the unitriangular group of unipotent $n\times n$ upper triangular matrices over a finite field with cardinality $q$ and prime characteristic $p$. It has been known for some time that when $p$ is fixed and $n$ is…

A supercharacter theory for a finite group $G$ is a set of superclasses each of which is a union of conjugacy classes together with a set of sums of irreducible characters called supercharacters that together satisfy certain compatibility…

For every finite quasisimple group of Lie type $G$, every irreducible character $\chi$ of $G$, and every element $g$ of $G$, we give an exponential upper bound for the character ratio $|\chi(g)|/\chi(1)$ with exponent linear in $\log_{|G|}…

We construct a supercharacter theory for the group of invertible elements of a reduced algebra. For the case of the triangular group, we obtain the formula for values of supercharacters on superclasses.

It is well-known that the representation theory of the finite group of unipotent upper-triangular matrices $U_n$ over a finite field is a wild problem. By instead considering approximately irreducible representations (supercharacters), one…

In this paper we study finite p-solvable groups having irreducible complex characters chi in Irr(G) which take roots of unity values on the p-singular elements of G.

A finite group $G$ is $normally ~monomial$ if all its irreducible characters are induced from linear characters of normal subgroups of $G$. In this paper, we determine all possible irreducible character degree sets of normally monomial…
