We prove the Milnor conjecture for Lie groups and the Friedlander conjecture for complex algebraic Lie groups.
We give a classification, up to Morita equivalence, of 2-blocks of quasi-simple groups with abelian defect groups. As a consequence, we show that Donovan's conjecture holds for elementary abelian 2-groups, and that the entries of the Cartan…
Using a characterization of parabolics in reductive Lie groups due to Furstenberg, elementary properties of buildings, and some algebraic topology, we give a new proof of Tits' classification of 2-transitive Lie groups.
For a block $B$ of a finite group we prove that $k(B)\le(\det C-1)/l(B)+l(B)\le\det C$ where $k(B)$ (respectively $l(B)$) is the number of irreducible ordinary (respectively Brauer) characters of $B$, and $C$ is the Cartan matrix of $B$. As…
We define and study sl\_2-categorifications on abelian categories. We show in particular that there is a self-derived (even homotopy) equivalence categorifying the adjoint action of the simple reflection. We construct categorifications for…
We prove that Matui's AH conjecture holds for graph groupoids of infinite graphs. This is a conjecture which relates the topological full group of an ample groupoid with the homology of the groupoid. Our main result complements Matui's…
We show that Brauer's height zero conjecture holds for blocks of finite quasi-simple groups. This result is used in Navarro-Sp\"ath's reduction of this conjecture for general groups to the inductive Alperin-McKay condition for simple…
We show that perverse equivalences between module categories of finite-dimensional algebras preserve rationality. As an application, we give a connection between some famous conjectures from the modular representation theory of finite…
Let B be a p-block of a finite group G with abelian defect group D such that S\unlhd G, S'=S, G/Z(S)\le\Aut(S) and S/Z(S) is a sporadic simple group. We show that B is isotypic to its Brauer correspondent in N_G(D) in the sense of Brou\'e.…
We study the Mathieu Conjecture for $SU(2)$ using the matrix elements of its unitary irreducible representations. We state a conjecture for the particular case $SU(2)$ implying the Mathieu Conjecture for $SU(2)$.
Answering a question of P\'alfy and Pyber, we first prove the following extension of the k(GV)-Problem: Let G be a finite group and A\le Aut(G) such that (|G|,|A|)=1. Then the number of conjugacy classes of the semidirect product GA is at…
In this paper, we present a conjecture on the degree of unipotent characters in the cohomology of particular Deligne-Lusztig varieties for groups of Lie type, and derive consequences of it. These degrees are a necessary piece of data in the…
We classify the Morita equivalence classes of blocks with elementary abelian defect groups of order $16$ with respect to a complete discrete valuation ring with algebraically closed residue field of characteristic two. As a consequence,…
We prove that if all the simple groups involved in a finite group $G$ satisfy the `inductive Feit condition', then Walter Feit's conjecture from 1980 holds for $G$. In particular, this would solve Brauer's Problem 41 from 1963 in the…
Using computational methods, we determine the irreducible Brauer characters of the automorphism group of the Chevalley group F_4(2), up to one parameter and one consistency issue.
In two earlier articles, we proved that, if the Hodge conjecture is true for ALL CM abelian varieties over the complex numbers, then both the Tate conjecture and the standard conjectures are true for abelian varieties over finite fields.…
Let $G$ be a finite group and let $\textrm{cd}(G)$ be the set of all complex irreducible character degrees of $G.$ In this paper, we show that if $\textrm{cd}(G)=\textrm{cd}(H),$ where $H$ is a finite simple exceptional group of Lie type,…
A theorem of Cantat and Urech says that an analog of the classical Tits alternative holds for the group of birational automorphisms of a compact complex Kaehler surface. We established in our previous paper the following Tits-type…
We investigate the discrete Fuglede's conjecture and Pompeiu problem on finite abelian groups and develop a strong connection between the two problems. We give a geometric condition under which a multiset of a finite abelian group has the…
The Addition Theorem for the algebraic entropy of group endomorphisms of torsion abelian groups was proved in [4]. Later, this result was extended to all abelian groups [3] and, recently, to all torsion finitely quasihamiltonian groups [7].…
