In this paper, we discuss 3-transposition groups. In particular, we find sizes of maximal symmetric subgroups of the groups, which are in Fischer list. In addition, we build faithful representations of symmetric groups in orthogonal,…

We study the restriction to Sylow subgroups of irreducible characters of symmetric groups. In particular, we focus our attention on constituents of degree greater than 1. Our main result is a wide generalization of Theorem 3.1 of Giannelli…

We study the representation theory of the infinite type A Hecke algebra over a non-archimedean field in the case where the parameter is a pseudo-uniformizer. Specifically, we consider a family of representations, called almost-symmetric,…

In this paper we obtain the complete description of all indecomposable characters (central positive-definite functions) of inductive limits of the symmetric groups under block diagonal embedding. As a corollary we obtain the full…

We introduce a combinatorial characterization of simpliciality for arrangements of hyperplanes. We then give a sharp upper bound for the number of hyperplanes of such an arrangement in the projective plane over a finite field, and present…

We show that almost every entry in the character table of $S_N$ is divisible by any fixed prime as $N\to\infty$. This proves a conjecture of Miller.

Generalizing the super duality formalism for finite-dimensional Lie superalgebras of type $ABCD$, we establish an equivalence between parabolic BGG categories of a Kac-Moody Lie superalgebra and a Kac-Moody Lie algebra. The characters for a…

We classify all homomorphisms between Weyl modules for SL_3(k) when k is an algebraically closed field of characteristic at least three, and show that the Hom-spaces are all at most one-dimensional. As a corollary we obtain all…

In this paper, we present three classes of complete permutation monomials over finite fields of odd characteristic. Meanwhile, the compositional inverses of these complete permutation polynomials are also proposed.

We study irreducible restrictions from modules over alternating groups to subgroups. We get reduction results which substantially restrict the classes of subgroups and modules for which this is possible. This is known when the…

Let $(G,H)$ be a reductive spherical pair and $P\subset H$ a parabolic subgroup such that $(G,P)$ is spherical. The triples $(G,H,P)$ with this property are called multiplicity free systems and they are classified in this paper. Denote by…

A numerical semigroup $S$ is an additive subsemigroup of the non-negative integers with finite complement, and the squarefree divisor complex of an element $m \in S$ is a simplicial complex $\Delta_m$ that arises in the study of multigraded…

Let $\pi$ be an irreducible unitary representation of a finitely generated nonabelian free group $\Gamma$; suppose $\pi$ is weakly contained in the regular representation. In 2001 the first and third authors conjectured that such a…

This paper is a contribution to the study of hereditary classes of finite graphs. We classify these classes according to the number of prime structures they contain. We consider such classes that are \emph{minimal prime}: classes that…

We investigate prime character degree graphs of solvable groups. In particular, we consider a family of graphs $\Gamma_{k,t}$ constructed by adjoining edges between two complete graphs in a one-to-one fashion. In this paper we determine…

Let \(G\) be a finite solvable group, and let \(\Delta(G)\) denote the \emph{prime graph} built on the set of degrees of the irreducible complex characters of \(G\). A fundamental result by P.P. P\'alfy asserts that the complement…

We describe and count the maximal subsemigroups of many well-known monoids of transformations and monoids of partitions. More precisely, we find the maximal subsemigroups of the full spectrum of monoids of order- or orientation-preserving…

For a permutation $\pi$ in the symmetric group $S_n$ let the {\it total degree} be its valency in the Hasse diagram of the strong Bruhat order on $S_n$, and let the {\it down degree} be the number of permutations which are covered by $\pi$…

Let $G$ be a finite nilpotent group, $\chi$ and $\psi$ be irreducible complex characters of $G$ of prime degree. Assume that $\chi(1)=p$. Then either the product $\chi\psi$ is a multiple of an irreducible character or $\chi\psi$ is the…
