A derived version of Maschke's theorem for finite groups is proved: the derived categories, bounded or unbounded, of all blocks of the group algebra of a finite group are simple, in the sense that they admit no nontrivial recollements. This…

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…

We develop a theory of modular forms on the groups $\mathrm{SO}(3,n+1)$, $n \geq 3$. This is very similar to, but simpler, than the notion of modular forms on quaternionic exceptional groups, which was initiated by Gross-Wallach and…

We consider the problem of characterizing derived endomorphism algebras of simple objects in length categories up to quasi-isomorphism. We give such a characterization for module categories, abelian categories, exact categories, as well as,…

The complex representation rings of finite groups are the fundamental class of fusion rings, categorified by the corresponding fusion categories of complex representations. The category of $\mathbb{Z}_+$-modules of finite rank over such a…

We introduce a general class of regular weight functions on finite abelian groups, and study the combinatorics, the duality theory, and the metric properties of codes endowed with such functions. The weights are obtained by composing a…

The representation theory of semisimple algebraic groups over the complex numbers (equivalently, semisimple complex Lie algebras or Lie groups, or real compact Lie groups) and the question of whether a given representation is symplectic or…

Recently, there has been considerable progress in classifying the irreducible representations of Iwahori--Hecke algebras at roots of unity. Here, we present an application of these results to $\ell$-modular Harish--Chandra series for a…

We investigate several categories of integrable $sl(\infty)$-, $o(\infty)$-, $sp(\infty)$-modules. In particular, we prove that the category of integrable $sl(\infty)$-, $o(\infty)$-, $sp(\infty)$-modules with finite-dimensional weight…

We classify irreducible SL(2,K)-modules of low Morley rank (at most 4.rk(K)) as a first step towards a more general conjecture.

This paper is the continuation of \cite{CXY}. Let ${\bf G}$ be a simply connected semisimple algebraic group over $\Bbbk=\bar{\mathbb{F}}_q$, the algebraically closure of $\mathbb{F}_q$ (the finite field with $q=p^e$ elements), and $F$ be…

We derive several identities that feature irreducible characters of the general linear, the symplectic, the orthogonal, and the special orthogonal groups. All the identities feature characters that are indexed by shapes that are "nearly"…

We prove a general dichotomy theorem for groups of finite Morley rank with solvable local subgroups and of Pr\"ufer p-rank at least 2, leading either to some p-strong embedding, or to the Pr\"ufer p-rank being exactly 2.

Given a finite group $G$, we say that $G$ has weak normal covering number $\gamma_w(G)$ if $\gamma_w(G)$ is the smallest integer with $G$ admitting proper subgroups $H_1,\ldots,H_{\gamma_w(G)}$ such that each element of $G$ has a conjugate…

We study the impact of certain identities and probabilistic identities on the structure of finite groups. More specifically, let $w$ be a nontrivial word in $d$ distinct variables and let $G$ be a finite group for which the word map…

The additivity with respect to exact sequences is notoriously a fundamental property of the algebraic entropy of group endomorphisms. It was proved for abelian groups by deeply exploiting their structure. On the other hand, a solvable…

A pseudomodular group is a discrete subgroup $\Gamma \leq PGL(2,\mathbb{Q})$ which is not commensurable with $PSL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ and has cusp set precisely $\mathbb{Q}\cup\{\infty\}$. The existence of such groups was proved by Long and…

In this paper, we consider irreducible quasi-finite (or equivalently weakly integrable) modules, with non-trivial action of the core, over the extended affine Lie algebras (EALAs) whose centerless cores are multiloop algebras. The…

We determine the irreducible 2-modular representations of the symplectic group $G=Sp_{2n}(2)$ whose restriction to every abelian subgroup has a trivial constituent. A similar result is obtained for maximal tori of $G$. There is significant…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $k$ be a field of characteristic $p > 0$. In prior work, we studied endotrivial complexes, the invertible objects of the bounded homotopy category $K^b({}_{kG}\mathbf{triv})$ of $p$-permutation $kG$-modules.…
