In this note we prove a generalization of the Frobenius-Schur theorem for finite groups for the case of semisimple Hopf algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. A similar result holds in characteristic $p > 2$ if the…

The concept of $S$-characters of finite groups was introduced by Zhmud' as a generalisation of transitive permutation characters. Any non-trivial $S$-character takes a zero value on some group element. By a deep result depending on the…

We study Hopf-Galois extensions with central invariants for a finite dimensional Hopf algebra. We collect general facts about them and discuss some examples arising in the study of restricted Lie algebras and quantum groups at roots of…

A set of invariants for a finite group is described. These arise naturally from Frobenius' early work on the group determinant and provide an answer to a question of Brauer. Whereas it is well known that the ordinary character table of a…

A general setting to study a certain type of formulas, expressing characters of the symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_n$ explicitly in terms of descent sets of combinatorial objects, has been developed by two of the authors. This theory is…

Let $p$ be a prime. For $p=2$, the fields of values of the complex irreducible characters of finite groups whose degrees are not divisible by $p$ have been classified; for odd primes $p$, a conjectural classification has been proposed. In…

We propose a definition of characters in the context of Schneider-Teitelbaum's theory of locally analytic representations of p-adic reductive groups. This character will be a function on a compact subgroup of a maximal torus of the…

The character formulas of Sally and Shalika are an early triumph in $p$-adic harmonic analysis, but, to date, the calculations underlying the formulas have not been available. In this paper, which should be viewed as a precursor of the…

We introduce the notion of a diagram category and discuss its application to the invariant theory of classical groups and super groups, with some indications concerning extensions to quantum groups and quantum super groups. Tensor functors…

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…

We prove that regular supercuspidal representations of $p$-adic groups are uniquely determined by their character values on very regular elements -- a special class of regular semisimple elements on which character formulae are very simple…

We generalize the character formulas for multiplicities of irreducible constituents from group theory to semigroup theory using Rota's theory of M\"obius inversion. The technique works for a large class of semigroups including: inverse…

The main purpose of this article is to initiate a systematic study of Semihypergroups, first introduced by C. Dunkl [4], I. Jewett [13] and R. Spector [20] independently around 1972. We introduce and study several natural algebraic and…

We describe certain almost-simple algebraic supergroups over an algebraically closed field of odd or zero characteristic. In addition to supergroups with simple Lie superalgebras from Kac's theorem, we construct new supergroups whose Lie…

Let F be a finite field with q elements, let A be a finite dimensional F-algebra and let J=J(A) be the Jacobson radical of A. Then G=1+J is a p-group, where p is the characteristic of F. We refer to G as an F-algebra group. A subgroup H of…

Let $G$ be a unipotent group over a field of characteristic $p > 0$. The theory of character sheaves on $G$ was initiated by V. Drinfeld and developed jointly with D. Boyarchenko. They also introduced the notion of $\mathbb{L}$-packets of…

In this paper, we show that the Character Triple Conjecture holds for all finite groups once assumed for all quasi-simple groups. This answers the question on the existence of a self-reducing form of Dade's conjecture, a problem that was…

According to McKay (1980) the irreducible characters of finite subgroups of SU(2) are in a natural 1-1 correspondence with the extended Coxeter-Dynkin graphs of type ADE. We show that the character values themselves can be given by an…

In this article groups of controlled characters of a combinatorial Hopf algebra are considered from the perspective of infinite-dimensional Lie theory. A character is controlled in our sense if it satisfies certain growth bounds, e.g.\…

We study the character theory of inductive limits of $q$-deformed classical compact groups. In particular, we clarify the relationship between the representation theory of Drinfeld-Jimbo quantized universal enveloping algebras and our…
