We establish uniform bounds on the multiplicities of irreducible admissible representations appearing in spaces of functions on symmetric spaces over $p$-adic fields. These multiplicities can exceed one and depend intricately on the group,…

We compute the Fourier coefficients of all degree 2 Siegel-Eisenstein series of square-free level $N$ transforming with the trivial character. We then apply use these formulae to present some explicit examples of higher representation…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. In this master thesis, we classify multiplicity-free tensor products of simple modules for the groups $SL_2(k)$ and $SL_3(k)$. We also provide a classification for $SL_n(k)$…

The modular properties of characters of representations of a family of W-superalgebras extending the affine Lie superalgebra of gl(1|1) are considered. Modules fall into two classes, the generic type and the non-generic one. Characters of…

We present (with proof) a new family of decomposable Specht modules for the symmetric group in characteristic 2. These Specht modules are labelled by partitions of the form $(a,3,1^b)$, and are the first new examples found for thirty years.…

During the 2004-2005 academic year the VIGRE algebra research group at the University of Georgia computed the complexities of certain Specht modules S^\lambda for the symmetric group, using the computer algebra program Magma. The complexity…

We study here the graphs with seven vertices in an effort to classify which of them appear as the prime character degree graphs of finite solvable groups. This classification is complete for the disconnected graphs. Of the 853…

Let $G$ be a finite group, and write ${\rm cd}(G)$ for the degree set of the complex irreducible characters of $G$. The group $G$ is said to satisfy the {\it two-prime hypothesis} if, for any distinct degrees $a, b \in {\rm cd}(G)$, the…

We classify the irreducible complex characters of the symplectic groups $Sp_{2n}(q)$ and the orthogonal groups $Spin_{2n}^\pm(q)$, $Spin_{2n+1}(q)$ of degrees up to the bound D, where $D=(q^n-1)q^{4n-10}/2$ for symplectic groups,…

We define the uniform face ideal of a simplicial complex with respect to an ordered proper vertex colouring of the complex. This ideal is a monomial ideal which is generally not squarefree. We show that such a monomial ideal has a linear…

We study the modular representation theory of the symmetric and alternating groups. One of the most natural ways to label the irreducible representations of a given group or algebra in the modular case is to show the unitriangularity of the…

In this paper, we continue the classification work done in the first paper of the same name. With careful modifications of our previous approach, we are able to deduce (with two notable exceptions) which members of the previously introduced…

Let $G$ be a finite group of order divisible by two distinct primes $p$ and $q$. We show that $G$ possesses a non-trivial irreducible character of degree not divisible by $p$ nor $q$ lying in both the principal $p$- and $q$-block whenever…

Building upon the work of A. Booker and C. Pomerance (2017), we prove that for a prime power $q \geq 7$, every residue class modulo an irreducible polynomial $F \in \mathbb{F}_q[X]$ has a non-constant, square-free representative which has…

In arXiv:0910.1727 we find certain finite homomorphic images of Artin braid group into appropriate symmetric groups, which a posteriori are extensions of the symmetric group on n letters by an abelian group. The main theorem of this paper…

We classify complete permutation polynomials of type $aX^{\frac{q^n-1}{q-1}+1}$ over the finite field with $q^n$ elements, for $n+1$ a prime and $n^4 < q$. For the case $n+1$ a power of the characteristic we study some known families. We…

Let $G$ be a finite group and \( M \) be a maximal subgroup of \( G \). We call every irreducible constituent \( \chi \) of \( (1_M)^G \) a \( \mathcal{P} \)-character of \( G \) with respect to \( M \). In this paper, we prove that all…

We classify the quasi-finite irreducible highest weight modules over the infinite rank Lie superalgebras $\hgltwo$, $\hC$ and $\hD$, and determine the necessary and sufficient conditions for quasi-finite irreducible highest weight modules…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $\chi$ be an irreducible character of $G$. The codegree of $\chi$ is defined as $\chi^c(1) =\frac{|G: \ker\chi|}{\chi(1)}$. In a paper by Gao, Wang, and Chen, it was shown that $G$ cannot satisfy the condition…
