In [Akbari and Moghaddamfar, Recognizing by order and degree pattern of some projective special linear groups, {\it Internat. J. Algebra Comput.}, 2012] the authors possed the following problem: \\ {\bf Problem.} {\it Is there a simple…

The paper relates character value of an irreducible representation of a compact connected Lie group at certain elements of finite order with the dimension of a representation on another group, up to some precise constants, which all have…

We apply Murasugi-Tristram inequality to real algebraic curves of odd degree on $RP^2$ with a deep nest, i.e. a nest of the depth $k-1$ where $2k+1$ is the degree. For such curves, the ingredients of the Murasugi-Tristram inequality can be…

In 2005 Wolfgang Willems put forward a conjecture proposing a lower bound for the sum of squares of the degrees of the irreducible $p$-Brauer characters of a finite group $G$. We prove this conjecture for the prime $p=2$. For this we rely…

We prove that thick category $\mathcal{O}$ associated to a semi-simple complex finite dimensional Lie algebra is extension full in the category of all modules. We also prove the weak Alexandru conjecture both for regular blocks of thick…

In this paper characters of the normaliser of $d$-split Levi subgroups in $\mathrm {SL}_n(q)$ and $\mathrm {SU}_n(q)$ are parametrized with a particular focus on the Clifford theory between the Levi subgroup and its normalizer.These results…

We verify the inductive McKay--Navarro condition for the groups $\mathsf{B}_2(2^f)$ and $\mathsf{G}_2(3^f)$ and all primes if $f$ is odd. Further, we show that the equivariance part of the inductive condition holds for all integers $f$.

Let $G$ be a group of odd order and $\chi$ be a complex irreducible character. Then there exists a unique character $\chi^{(2)}\in\Irr(G)$ such that $[\chi^2,\chi^{(2)}]$ is odd. Also, there exists a unique character $\psi\in \Irr(G)$ such…

Let $q$ be a power of a prime $p$ and let $U(q)$ be a Sylow $p$-subgroup of a finite Chevalley group $G(q)$ defined over the field with $q$ elements. We first give a parametrization of the set $\text{Irr}(U(q))$ of irreducible characters of…

If a group $G$ is $\pi$-separable, where $\pi$ is a set of primes, the set of irreducible characters $\operatorname{B}_{\pi}(G) \cup \operatorname{B}_{\pi'}(G)$ can be defined. In this paper, we prove that there are variants of some…

Bley, Burns and Hahn used relative algebraic $K$-theory methods to formulate a precise conjectural link between the (second Adams-operator twisted) Galois-Gauss sums of weakly ramified Artin characters and the square root of the inverse…

This paper has two goals: to prove certain properties of character series of graded algebras on which a finite group acts as algebra automorphisms and to provide a detailed analysis of representations of 5-dimensional Sklyanin algebras at…

Let $G$ be a finite group, $p$ a prime and $B$ a Brauer $p$-block of $G$ with defect group $D$. We prove that if the number of irreducible ordinary characters in $B$ is $5$ then $D\cong C_5, C_7, D_8$ or $Q_8$, assuming that the…

For a connected semisimple Lie group $G$ we describe an explicit collection of correspondences between the admissible dual of $G$ and the admissible dual of the Cartan motion group associated with $G$. We conjecture that each of these…

The classical It\^{o}-Michler theorem states that the degree of every ordinary irreducible character of a finite group $G$ is coprime to a prime $p$ if and only if the Sylow $p$-subgroups of $G$ are abelian and normal. In an earlier paper,…

A classical theorem on character degrees states that if a finite group has fewer than four character degrees, then the group is solvable. We prove a corresponding result on character values by showing that if a finite group has fewer than…

We consider the $M$-curves of degree nine with three nests $1 \langle \alpha_i \rangle, i = 1, 2, 3$ in $\mathbb{R}P^2$. After systematic constructions, Korchagin conjectured that at least two of the $\alpha_i$ must be odd. It was later…

The purpose of this paper is to continue the study of chief factors of a Lie algebra and to prove a further strengthening of the Jordan-H\"older Theorem for chief series.

In this paper, we present a conjecture on the degree of unipotent characters in the cohomology of particular Deligne-Lusztig varieties for groups of Lie type, and derive consequences of it. These degrees are a necessary piece of data in the…

Let $p$ be an odd prime. We give an unconditional proof of the equivariant Iwasawa main conjecture for totally real fields for every admissible one-dimensional $p$-adic Lie extension whose Galois group has an abelian Sylow $p$-subgroup.…
