We compute the versal deformation ring of a split generic $2$-dimensional representation $\chi_1\oplus \chi_2$ of the absolute Galois group of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. As an application, we show that the Breuil--M\'ezard conjecture for both…
We investigate the complex reflection group $\mathfrak{G}$ associated with the octahedral group, identified as the ninth entry in the Shephard-Todd classification. We determine all irreducible representations of $\mathfrak{G}$ and compute…
VB-groupoids are vector bundles in the category of Lie groupoids. They encompass several classical objects, including Lie group representations and 2-vector spaces. Moreover, they provide geometric pictures for 2-term representations up to…
In this article, we present a combinatorial formula for computing the Wedderburn decomposition of the rational group algebra associated with an ordinary metacyclic $p$-group $G$, where $p$ is any prime. We also provide a formula for…
A representation $V$ of an algebraic group $G$ induces a vector bundle $[V/G] \to BG$. The representation $V$ of $G$ is neutral if, for every twisted form $\mathcal{V} \to \mathcal{G}$ of $[V/G] \to BG$ over a field $k$, we have…
The main result of this paper utilizes the representation graph of a group $G$, $R(V,G)$, and gives a general construction of a diagrammatic category $\mathbf{Dgrams}_{R(V,G)}$. The proof of the main theorem shows that, given explicit…
Let $\mathbf{k}$ be an algebraically closed field. Recently, K. Erdmann classified the symmetric $\mathbf{k}$-algebras $\Lambda$ of finite representation type such that every non-projective module $M$ has period dividing four. The goal of…
We construct finite $R$-matrices for the first fundamental representation $V$ of two-parameter quantum groups $U_{r,s}(\mathfrak{g})$ for classical $\mathfrak{g}$, both through the decomposition of $V\otimes V$ into irreducibles…
In this paper, we examine the `derived completion' of the representation ring of a pro-p group G_p^ with respect to an augmentation ideal. This completion is no longer a ring: it is a spectrum with the structure of a module spectrum over…
Let $\mathbf{k}$ be a field of arbitrary characteristic, let $\Lambda$ be a finite dimensional $\mathbf{k}$-algebra, and let $V$ be an indecomposable finitely generated non-projective Gorenstein-projective left $\Lambda$-module whose stable…
We study the decomposition of a generic element $g \in G$ of a connected reductive complex algebraic group $G$ in the form $g = N(g) B(g) \bar{u} N(g)^{-1}$ where $N: G \dashrightarrow \mathcal{N}_-$ and $B : G \dashrightarrow…
For a profinite group $G$ we describe an abelian group $W_G(R; M)$ of $G$-typical Witt vectors with coefficients in an $R$-module $M$ (where $R$ is a commutative ring). This simultaneously generalises the ring $W_G(R)$ of Dress and…
For a block B of a finite group G there are well-known orthogonality relations for the generalized decomposition numbers. We refine these relations by expressing the generalized decomposition numbers with respect to an integral basis of a…
Let $\Pi$ be an irreducible unitary completion of a locally algebraic ${\rm GL}_2(\qp)$-representation. We describe those first-order deformations of $\Pi$ which are themselves completions of a locally algebraic representation. This answers…
Let $l$ and $p$ be primes, let $F/\mathbb{Q}_p$ be a finite extension with absolute Galois group $G_F$, let $\mathbb{F}$ be a finite field of characteristic $l$, and let $\bar{\rho} : G_F \rightarrow GL_n(\mathbb{F})$ be a continuous…
We define geodesic normal forms for the general series of complex reflection groups G(de,e,n). This requires the elaboration of a combinatorial technique in order to determine minimal word representatives and to compute the length of the…
Let k be an algebraically closed field, and let \Lambda\ be an algebra of dihedral type of polynomial growth as classified by Erdmann and Skowro\'{n}ski. We describe all finitely generated \Lambda-modules V whose stable endomorphism rings…
Let $s$ be even and $q=p^s$. We show that the ring $W(\mathbb{F}_{q})[\![X]\!]/(X^2-pX)$ is a quotient of the universal deformation ring of a representation of a finite group. This amounts to giving an example of a finite group and its…
In this article we show that 'most' of the vector valued modular forms w.r.t. the Weil representation on the groups rings $\mathbb{C}[D]$ of discriminant forms D are oldforms. The precise meaning of oldform is that the form can be…
The paper studies the modular representation theory of the cyclotomic Hecke algebras of type $G(r,p,n)$ with $(\eps,q)$-separated parameters. We show that the decomposition numbers of these algebras are completely determined by the…
