We compute the characters of many supercuspidal representations of reductive p-adic groups. Specifically, we deal with representations that arise via Yu's construction from data satisfying a certain compactness condition. Each character is…

The classical result, due to Jordan, Burnside, Dickson, says that every normal subgroup of $GL(n, K)$ ($K$ - a field, $n \geq 3$) which is not contained in the center, contains $SL(n, K)$. A. Rosenberg gave description of normal subgroups…

Let $G$ be a finite reductive group defined over a finite field $F_q$. In the case where $G$ is a special linear group, we compute the multiplicities of irreducible characters of $G(F_{q^2})$ with the character of $G(F_{q^2})$ induced from…

Interpretation of a structure $\mathbb A$ in $\mathbb B$ allows to produce structures elementarily equivalent to $\mathbb A$ given those elementarily equivalent to $\mathbb B$. In particular, interpretation of the free group in $\mathbb N$…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive group over $F_q$, where $q$ is large enough and the center of $G$ is connected. We are concerned with Lusztig's theory of {\em character sheaves}, a geometric version of the classical character theory of the…

We consider the generalized character $\Psi_{1,p,G}$ of a finite group $G$ which vanishes on all $p$-singular elements of $G$ and whose value at each $p$-regular $y \in G$ is the number of $p$-elements of $C_{G}(y)$. We conjecture that this…

We present in this paper a general algorithm for solving first-order formulas in particular theories called "decomposable theories". First of all, using special quantifiers, we give a formal characterization of decomposable theories and…

Finite dimensional modular Lie superalgebras over algebraically closed fields with indecomposable Cartan matrices are classified under some technical, most probably inessential, hypotheses. If the Cartan matrix is invertible, the…

In this paper we study the complex representations of reductive groups over local non-Archimedean fields. We use the building of the reductive group to give upper-bounds for the absolute value of the character of an admissible…

Let us consider the group $G = < x,y \mid x^m = y^n>$ with $m$ and $n$ nonzero integers. In this paper, we study the variety of epresentations $R(G)$ and the character variety $X(G)$ in $SL(2,\C)$ of the group $G$,obtaining by elementary…

Introduced by Kawanaka in order to find the unipotent representations of finite groups of Lie type, generalized Gelfand--Graev characters have remained somewhat mysterious. Even in the case of the finite general linear groups, the…

Using the construction by Bencs and T\'{o}th of invariant random subgroups on weakly branch groups acting on regular rooted trees we produce uncountably many indecomposable characters on these groups. In fact, we study three types of…

In this paper, we determine new characterizations of nested and nested GVZ-groups, including character-free characterizations, but we additionally show that nested groups and nested GVZ-groups can be defined in terms of the existence of…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finitely generated group and $G$ a real form of $\mathrm{SL}_n(\mathbb{C})$. We propose a definition for the $G$-character variety of $\Gamma$ as a subset of the $\mathrm{SL}_n(\mathbb{C})$-character variety of $\Gamma$.…

In order to tackle the problem of generically determining the character tables of the finite groups of Lie type $\mathbf{G}(q)$ associated to a connected reductive group $\mathbf{G}$ over $\overline{\mathbb F}_p$, Lusztig developed the…

We exhibit a basis for the space of spherical characters of a distinguished supercuspidal representation $\pi$ of a connected reductive $p$-adic group, subject to the assumption that $\pi$ is obtained via induction from a representation of…

Let $G$ be a finite group, let $N$ be a normal subgroup of $G$ and let $\theta$ be an irreducible character of $N$. We count the real irreducible characters of $G$ lying over $\theta$

By using the free field realizations, we analyze the representation theory of the W_{1+infinity} algebra with c=1. The eigenvectors for the Cartan subalgebra of W_{1+infinity} are parametrized by the Young diagrams, and explicitly written…

We extend the notions of quasi-monomial groups and almost monomial groups, in the framework of supercharacter theories, and we study their connection with Artin's conjecture regarding the holomorphy of Artin $L$-functions.

Let $N$ be normal subgroup of a finite group $G$, $p$ be a prime, $P$ be a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G$ and $\theta$ be a $P$-invariant irreducible character of $N$. Suppose that $G/N$ is a $p$-solvable group. In this note we show that,…
