Let $p$ be an odd prime. We show that for sufficiently large $n$, every $2$-block of $\mathfrak{S}_n$ and $\mathfrak{A}_n$ contains an ordinary irreducible character of degree divisible by $p$. For almost all $2$-blocks of $\mathfrak{A}_n$,…

Let $\ggg:=\gl_{m|n}$ be a general linear Lie superalgebra over an algebraically closed field $\mathds{k}=\overline{\mathbb{F}}_p$ of characteristic $p>2$. A module of $\ggg$ is said to be of Kac-Weisfeiler if its dimension coincides with…

The problem of computing the characters of the finite dimensional irreducible representations of the Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak q(n)$ over $\C$ was solved in 1996 by I. Penkov and V. Serganova. In this article, we give a different approach…

We define the Verma vector system for each finite dimensional irreducible representation of the orthosymplectic Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{spo}(4|1)$ with the highest weight $\lambda,$ via the conditions that making a tableau with shape…

In this paper we construct resolutions of finite dimensional irreducible gl(m|n)-modules in terms of generalized Verma modules. The resolutions are determined by the Kostant cohomology groups and extend the strong…

When $G_{\mathbb{R}}$ is a real, linear algebraic group, the orbit method predicts that nearly all of the unitary dual of $G_{\mathbb{R}}$ consists of representations naturally associated to orbital parameters $(\mathcal{O},\Gamma)$. If…

We restrict the possibilities for the character degrees of $p$-groups $G$ satisfying $|G:G'| = p^2$. E.g. if $G$ is of maximal class and has an irreducible character of degree $> p$, then it has such a character of degree at most…

For a simple Lie superalgebra of type BDFG, we give explicit formulas for singular vectors in a Verma module of highest weight $\lambda - \rho$, which have weight $s_{\gamma}\lambda - \rho$ for certain positive non-isotropic roots $\gamma.$…

The character codegree of an irreducible character of a finite group $G$ is given by the index of its kernel in $G$ upon the character degree. We compute the codegrees of irreducible characters of VZ and Camina $p$-groups, and also obtain…

Let $(\mathfrak{g},[p])$ be a finite dimensional restricted Lie algebra over a perfect field $\mathbbm{k}$ of characteristic $p\!\ge \!3$. By combining methods from recent work of Benson-Carlson \cite{BC20} with those of \cite{CF21,Fa17} we…
