In this article new cases of the Inverse Galois Problem are established. The main result is that for a fixed integer n, there is a positive density set of primes p such that PSL_2(F_{p^n}) occurs as the Galois group of some finite extension…

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $(P_i)_{i=1}^n$ be Sylow subgroups for distinct primes $p_1,\ldots,p_n$. We conjecture that there exists $x \in G$ such that $P_i \cap P_i^x$ is inclusion-minimal in $\{ P_i \cap P_i^g : g \in G\}$ for all…

Let $G$ be a finite nilpotent group and $n\in \{3,4, 5\}$. Consider $S_n\times G$ as a subgroup of $S_n\times S_{|G|}\subset S_{n|G|}$, where $G$ embeds into the second factor of $S_n\times S_{|G|}$ via the regular representation. Over any…

We describe the structure of Sylow {\ell}-subgroups of a finite reduc-tive group G(Fq) when q $\not\equiv$ 0 (mod {\ell}) that we find governed by a complex reflection group attached to G and {\ell}, which depends on {\ell} only through the…

We study representations of $GL_{n}(\mathbb{F}_{q})$ that are distinguished with respect to a symmetric subgroup $H=GL_{n}(\mathbb{F}_{q})^{\sigma}$, where $\sigma$ is an involution. We prove that those representations satisfy $\pi \cong…

We introduce {\em admissible collections} for a finite group $G$ and use them to prove that most of the finite classical groups in non-defining characteristic satisfy the {\em Quillen dimension at $p$ property}, a strong version of…

One part of Sylow's famous theorem in group theory states that the number of Sylow p-subgroups of a finite group is always congruent to 1 modulo p. Conversely, Marshall Hall has shown that not every positive integer $n\equiv 1\pmod{p}$…

Following Gluck and Wolf we complete the It\^o--Michler's Theorem for the projective representations of a $p$-solvable or $\pi$-separable group, and then we relate the projective irreducible modules of such a group with those of its Sylow…

The structure and representations of the quantum general linear supergroup GLq(m|n) are studied systematically by investigating the Hopf superalgebra Gq of its representative functions. Gq is factorized into $Gq^{\pi} Gq^{\bar\pi}$, and a…

We construct a resolution of irreducible complex representations of the symmetric group $S_n$ by restrictions of representations of $GL_n(\mathbb{C})$ (where $S_n$ is the subgroup of permutation matrices). This categorifies a recent result…

For an odd prime $p$, we realize the trivial representation of $\mathrm{GL}_2(\mathbb{Z}/p^n\mathbb{Z})$ on the free $\mathbb{Z}/p^n \mathbb{Z}$-module of rank one as a subquotient of a direct sum of symmetric power representations (twisted…

Let $G\subset\GL(V)$ be a complex reductive group. Let $G'$ denote $\{\phi\in\GL(V)\mid p\circ\phi=p\text{for all} p\in\C[V]^G\}$. We show that, in general, $G'=G$. In case $G$ is the adjoint group of a simple Lie algebra $\lieg$, we show…

Using the general framework of polynomial representations defined by Doty and generalizing the definition given by Doty, Nakano and Peters for $G = \mathrm{GL}_n$, we consider polynomial representations of $G_r T$ for an arbitrary closed…

We study the indecomposable summands of the permutation module obtained by inducing the trivial $\mathbb{F}(S_a\wr S_n)$-module to the full symmetric group $S_{an}$ for any field $\mathbb{F}$ of odd prime characteristic $p$ such that…

Let $(K,\mathcal O,k)$ be a $p$-modular system and assume $k$ is algebraically closed. We show that if $\Lambda$ is an $\mathcal O$-order in a separable $K$-algebra, then $\textrm{Pic}_{\mathcal O}(\Lambda)$ carries the structure of an…

Let F be a finite extension of Q_p. Using the mod p Satake transform, we define what it means for an irreducible admissible smooth representation of an F-split p-adic reductive group over \bar F_p to be supersingular. We then give the…

The orthogonal groups are a series of simple Lie groups associated to symmetric bilinear forms. There is no analogous series associated to symmetric trilinear forms. We introduce an infinite dimensional group-like object that can be viewed…

The paper explores the effect of powerful class of Sylow $p$-subgroups of a given finite group on control of transfer or fusion. We also find an explicit bound for the $p$-length of a $p$-solvable group in terms of the poweful class of a…

Extending earlier work of Guralnick and of Cai and Zhang, we classify the almost simple groups which have transitive permutation representations of prime power degree $p^k$, and those which have $p$-complements (stabilisers of order coprime…

We develop the theory of semisimplifications of tensor categories defined by Barrett and Westbury. In particular, we compute the semisimplification of the category of representations of a finite group in characteristic $p$ in terms of…
