An automorphism $\alpha$ of a group $G$ is called a commuting automorphism if each element $x$ in $G$ commutes with its image $\alpha(x)$ under $\alpha$. Let $A(G)$ denote the set of all commuting automorphisms of $G$. Rai [Proc. Japan…

It is proven that if a finite group $G$ has a normal subgroup $H$ with $p'$-index (where $p$ is a prime) and $G/H$ is solvable, then for a $p$-subgroup $P$ of $H$, if the Scott $kH$-module with vertex $P$ is Brauer indecomposable, then so…

The centralizer algebra of the action of the unitary group on the real tensor powers of its natural module, is described by means of a modification in the multiplication of the signed Brauer algebras. The relationships of this algebra with…

We say that two unitary or orthogonal representations of a finitely generated group $G$ are additive conjugates if they are intertwined by an additive map, which need not be continuous. We associate to each representation of $G$ a…

Brauer algebras form a tower of cellular algebras. There is a well-defined notion of limiting blocks for these algebras. In this paper we give a complete description of these limiting blocks over any field of positive characteristic. We…

If $X$ is a locally compact space which admits commuting free and proper actions of locally compact groups $G$ and $H$, then the Brauer groups $\Br_H(G/X)$ and $\Br_G(X/H)$ are naturally isomorphic.

For any characteristic zero coefficient field, an irreducible representation of a finite $p$-group can be assigned a Roquette $p$-group, called the genotype. This has already been done by Bouc and Kronstein in the special cases Q and C. A…

If $G$ is an algebraic affine group acting on an affine variety $X$, there is a natural notion of covariant representation for the pair $(G,X)$. In this paper, we classify the irreducible covariant representations for any such pair by…

For any finite group G it is an interesting question to ask which ordinary irreducible representations of G remain irreducible in a given characteristic p. We answer this question for p=2 when G is the proper double cover of the alternating…

We extend the notion of a {$p$-permutation equivalence} between two $p$-blocks $A$ and $B$ of finite groups $G$ and $H$, from the definition in [Boltje-Xu 2008] to a virtual $p$-permutation bimodule whose components have twisted diagonal…

Let B be a block of a finite group G with defect group D. We prove that the exponent of the center of D is determined by the character table of G. In particular, we show that D is cyclic if and only if B contains a "large" family of…

Let $G$ be a finite solvable or symmetric group and let $B$ be a $2$-block of $G$. We construct a canonical correspondence between the irreducible characters of height zero in $B$ and those in its Brauer first main correspondent. For…

We consider a special configuration in which a finite group $A$ acts by automorphisms on the finite group $G$, and the semidirect product $GA$ acts on the vector space $V$ by linear transformations; and discuss the existence of the regular…

With the motivation of giving a more precise estimation of the quantum Brauer group of a Hopf algebra $H$ over a field $k$ we construct an exact sequence containing the quantum Brauer group of a Hopf algebra in a certain braided monoidal…

Problem 21 of Brauer's list of problems from 1963 asks whether for any positive integer k there are finitely many isomorphism classes of groups that occur as the defect group of a block with k irreducible characters. We solve this problem…

We consider the algebra of invariants of $d$-tuples of $n\times n$ matrices under the action of the orthogonal group by simultaneous conjugation over an infinite field of characteristic $p$ different from two. It is well-known that this…

We consider the natural Lie algebra structure on the (associative) group algebra of a finite group $G$, and show that the Lie subalgebras associated to natural involutive antiautomorphisms of this group algebra are reductive ones. We give a…

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…

Let $G$ be a finite abelian group acting faithfully on ${\mathbb C}{\mathbb P}^1$ via holomorphic automorphisms. In \cite{DF2} the $G$--equivariant algebraic vector bundles on $G$--invariant affine open subsets of ${\mathbb C}{\mathbb P}^1$…

$G$ be a finite group and $A$ a $G$-graded algebra over a field $F$ of characteristic zero. We characterize the varieties of $G$-graded algebras such that the multiplicities $m_{\langle \lambda \rangle}$ appering in the $\langle n \rangle…
