We gather tools for proving the inductive McKay--Navarro (or Galois--McKay) condition for groups of Lie type and odd primes. We use this to establish a bijection in the case of quasisimple groups of Lie type A satisfying the equivariance…
For a prime $\ell$, the McKay conjecture suggests a bijection between the set of irreducible characters of a finite group with $\ell'$-degree and the corresponding set for the normalizer of a Sylow $\ell$- subgroup. Navarro's refinement…
The McKay--Navarro conjecture is a refinement of the McKay conjecture that additionally takes the action of some Galois automorphisms into account. We verify the inductive McKay--Navarro condition in the defining characteristic for the…
We verify the inductive McKay condition for simple groups of Lie type C, namely finite projective symplectic groups. This contributes to the program of a complete proof of the McKay conjecture for all finite groups via the reduction theorem…
This paper is a contribution to the general program introduced by Isaacs, Malle and Navarro to prove the McKay conjecture in the representation theory of finite groups. We develop new methods for dealing with simple groups of Lie type in…
We establish the inductive McKay condition introduced by Isaacs-Malle-Navarro \cite{IMN} for finite simple groups of Lie types $\tB_l$ ($l\geq 2$), $\tE_6$, $^2\tE_6$ and $\tE_7$, thus leaving open only the types $\tD$ and $^2\tD$. We bring…
We reformulate the inductive McKay condition, from Isaacs-Malle-Navarro, and apply the new criterion to simple groups of Lie type, when the prime is the defining characteristic p. Thereby we make use of a recent result of Maslowski. This…
Sp\"ath showed that the Alperin-McKay conjecture in the representation theory of finite groups holds if the so-called inductive Alperin-McKay condition holds for all finite simple groups. In a previous article, we showed that the…
We determine the action of the automorphism group Aut$(G)$ on the set of irreducible characters Irr$(G)$ for all finite quasi-simple groups $G$. For groups of Lie type, this includes the construction of an Aut$(G)$-equivariant Jordan…
In this paper we consider the inductive Alperin--McKay condition for isolated blocks of groups of Lie type $B$ and $C$. This finishes the verification of the inductive condition for groups of this type.
We prove that for most groups of Lie type, the bijections used by Malle and Spaeth in the proof of Isaacs-Malle-Navarro's inductive McKay conditions for the prime 2 and odd primes dividing q - 1 are also equivariant with respect to certain…
We investigate the action of outer automorphisms of finite groups of Lie type on their irreducible characters. We obtain a definite result for cuspidal characters. As an application we verify the inductive McKay condition for some further…
We prove that for any prime $\ell$, any finite group has as many irreducible complex characters of degree prime to $\ell$ as the normalizers of its Sylow $\ell$-subgroups. This equality was conjectured by John McKay. The conjecture was…
In this paper we verify Navarro's refinement of the McKay conjecture for quasi-simple groups of Lie type in their defining characteristic. Navarro's refinement takes into account the action of specific Galois automorphisms on the characters…
We prove the McKay conjecture on characters of odd degree. A major step in the proof is the verification of the inductive McKay condition for groups of Lie type and primes $\ell$ such that a Sylow $\ell$-subgroup or its maximal normal…
The proof of the inductive McKay condition has been shown to imply that the character theory above the characters of degree not divisible by $p$ of a normal subgroup is locally determined. In this note, we establish a similar result for the…
The so-called inductive McKay condition on finite simple groups, due to Isaacs-Malle-Navarro (2007), has been recently reformulated by Sp\"ath. We show that this reformulation applies to the reduction theorem for Alperin's weight…
We refine the reduction theorem of the McKay Conjecture proved by Isaacs, Malle and Navarro. Assuming the inductive McKay condition, we obtain a strong version of the McKay Conjecture that gives central isomorphic character triples.
We verify the inductive McKay--Navarro condition for the Suzuki and Ree groups for all primes as well as for $p=3$ and the groups $PSL_3(q)$ with $q \equiv 4,7$ mod $9$, $PSU_3(q) $ with $q \equiv 2,5$ mod $9$, and $G_2(q)$ with $q=2,4,5,7$…
Let $G$ be a finite group isomorphic to $SL_n(q)$ or $SU_n(q)$ for some prime power $q$. In this paper, we give an explicit description of the action of automorphisms of $G$ on the set of its irreducible complex characters. This is done by…
