We show that the $p$-part of the degree of an irreducible character of a symmetric group is completely determined by the set of vanishing elements of $p$-power order. As a corollary we deduce that the set of zeros of prime power order…

Let $M$ be a non-compact connected manifold with a cocompact and properly discontinuous action of a discrete group $G$. We establish a Poincar\'{e}-Hopf theorem for a bounded vector field on $M$ satisfying a mild condition on zeros. As an…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $H$ a normal subgroup of prime index $p$. Let $V$ be an irreducible ${\mathbb F}H$-module and $U$ a quotient of the induced ${\mathbb F}G$-module $V\kern-3pt\uparrow$. We describe the structure of $U$, which is…

Let $G$ be a locally semisimple ind-group, $P$ be a parabolic subgroup, and $E$ be a finite-dimensional $P$-module. We show that, under a certain condition on $E$, the nonzero cohomologies of the homogeneous vector bundle…

We give a complete classification of meromorphically integrable homogeneous potentials $V$ of degree $-1$ which are real analytic on $\mathbb{R}^2\setminus \{0\}$. In the more general case when $V$ is only meromorphic on an open set of an…

This work begins the process of using the decomposition of the diagonal as a tool for studying the rationality of invariant fields of finite groups $G$. Our ground field must be characteristic 0 because of the use we make of Bertini…

For a projective variety V in P^n over a field of characteristic zero, with homogeneous ideal I in A = k[x0,x1,...,xn], we consider the local cohomology modules H^i_I(A). These have a structure of holonomic D-module over A, and we…

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group in defining characteristic $p>0$, and let $V$ be an irreducible $G$-module which is the tensor product of exactly two non-trivial modules. We obtain a criterion for $V$ to have the zero weight. In…

We prove a variant of the Theorem of Ito-Michler, investigating the properties of finite groups where a prime number $p$ does not divide the degree of any irreducible character left invariant by some Galois automorphism $\sigma$ of order…

Let $R$ be a polynomial or formal power series ring with coefficients in a DVR $V$ of mixed characteristic with a uniformizer $\pi$. We prove that the $R$-module annihilator of any nonzero $\D(R,V)$-module is either zero or is generated by…

We determine the minimal number of separating invariants for the invariant ring of a matrix group $G < \mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{F}_q)$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. We show that this minimal number can be obtained with invariants of…

It is proved that for any finite dimensional representation of a prime order group over the field of rational numbers, polynomial invariants of degree at most $3$ separate the orbits. A result providing an upper degree bound for separating…

Differential $p$-forms and $q$-vector fields with constant coefficients are studied. Differential $p$-forms of degrees $p=1,2,n-1,n$ with constant coefficients on a smooth $n$-dimensional manifold $M$ are characterized. In the contravariant…

We prove that if $p$ is an odd prime, $G$ is a solvable group, and the average value of the irreducible characters of $G$ whose degrees are not divisible by $p$ is strictly less than $2(p+1)/(p+3)$, then $G$ is $p$-nilpotent. We show that…

The power graph $\mathcal{P}(G)$ of a finite group $G$ is the simple undirected graph whose vertex set is $G$, in which two distinct vertices are adjacent if one of them is an integral power of the other. For an integer $n\geq 2$, let $C_n$…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$, let G=GL_n be the general linear group over $k$, let g=gl_n be its Lie algebra and let $D_s$ be subalgebra of the divided power algebra of g^* spanned by the divided power…

In \cite{GGKM-SSS} we examined the relationship between the singular set of a compact Riemannian orbifold and the spectrum of the Hodge Laplacian on $p$-forms by computing the heat invariants associated to the $p$-spectrum. We showed that…

For an abelian variety $A$ over a function field $K$ of characteristic zero, Manin defined a remarkable additive map $A(K) \ra V$, where $V$ is a vector space over $K$. We define an analogue of this map in the case of function fields of…
