It is well-known that special 2-groups can be described in terms of quadratic maps over fields of characteristic 2. In this article we develop methods to compute conjugacy classes, complex representations and characters of a real special…
We describe an easy way how to find supercharacter theories for a finite group, if its character table is known. Namely, we show how an arbitrary partition of the conjugacy classes or of the irreducible characters can be refined to the…
In this investigation of character tables of finite groups we study basic sets and associated representation theoretic data for complementary sets of conjugacy classes. For the symmetric groups we find unexpected properties of characters on…
We show how the character tables of the groups $E_6(q)_{\text{ad}}$ and ${^2\!E}_6(q)_{\text{ad}}$ can be constructed, where $q$ is a power of~$2$. (Partial results are also obtained for any $q$ not divisible by~$3$.) This is based on…
Let $N$ be a normal subgroup of a finite group $G$. From a result due to Brauer, it can be derived that the character table of $G$ contains square submatrices which are induced by the $G$-conjugacy classes of elements in $N$ and the…
Using computational methods, we complete the determination of the $3$-modular character table of the Chevalley group $F_4(2)$ and its covering group.
This book describes some computational methods to deal with modular characters of finite groups. It is the theoretical background of the MOC system of the same authors. This system was, and is still used, to compute the modular character…
We show the details of certain computations that are used in the paper "Verification of the conjugacy classes and ordinary character table of the Monster".
We construct supercharacter theories of finite unipotent groups in the orthogonal, symplectic and unitary types. Our method utilizes group actions in a manner analogous to that of Diaconis and Isaacs in their construction of supercharacters…
We compute the trivial source character tables (also called species tables of the trivial source ring) of the infinite family of finite groups SL(2,q) over a large enough field of positive characteristic $\ell$ via character-theoretical…
Gcharacter tables of a finite group G were defined before. These tables can be very useful to obtain certain structural information of a normal subgroup from the character table of G. We analyze certain structural properties of normal…
We construct a supercharacter theory, and establish the supercharacter table for Sylow $p$-subgroups $G_2^{syl}(q)$ of the Chevalley groups $G_2(q)$ of Lie type $G_2$ when $p>2$. Then we calculate the conjugacy classes, determine the…
We describe an algorithm, which - given the characters of tilting modules and assuming that Donkin's tilting conjecture is true - computes the characters of simple modules for an algebraic group in any characteristic.
As part of the programme to re-compute the character tables of all the groups in the Atlas we re-compute the character table of $\mathbb M$, the Monster simple group. We operate under the uniqueness hypotheses of $\mathbb M$ and the…
We compute the trivial source character tables (also called species tables of the trivial source ring) of the infinite family of finite groups $\text{SL}_{2}(q)$ for $q$ even, over a large enough field $k$ of positive characteristic…
Two groups are said to have the same character table if a permutation of the rows and a permutation of the columns of one table produces the other table. The problem of determining when two groups have the same character table is…
To classify the finite dimensional pointed Hopf algebras with Weyl group $G$ of $E_6$, $E_7$, $F_4$, $G_2$, we obtain the representatives of conjugacy classes of $G$ and all character tables of centralizers of these representatives by means…
Hecke algebras are beautiful q-extensions of Coxeter groups. In this paper, we prove several results on their characters, with an emphasis on characters induced from trivial and sign representations of parabolic subalgebras. While most of…
We determine a supercharacter theory for Sylow $p$-subgroups ${^2{G}_2^{syl}(3^{2m+1})}$ of the Ree groups $^2{G}_2(3^{2m+1})$, calculate the conjugacy classes of ${^2{G}_2^{syl}(3^{2m+1})}$, and establish the character table of…
We compute dimensions of the components for the operad of two compatible brackets and for the bihamiltonian operad. We also obtain character formulas for the representations of the symmetric groups and the $SL_2$ group in these spaces.
