In this paper, the complete algebraic structure of finite semisimple group algebra of a normally monomial group is described. The main result is illustrated by computing the explicit Wedderburn decomposition of finite semisimple group…

The notion of the supercharacter theory was introduced by P.Diaconis and I.M.Isaaks in 2008. In this paper we review the main statements of the general theory, we observe the construction of supercharacter theory for algebra groups and the…

We describe a formalism, using groupoids, for the study of rewriting for presentations of inverse monoids, that is based on the Squier complex construction for monoid presentations. We introduce the class of pseudoregular groupoids, an…

Let $\mathcal{X}_{\Gamma}G:=\mathrm{Hom}(\Gamma,G)/\!/G$ be the $G$-character variety of $\Gamma$, where $G$ is a complex reductive group and $\Gamma$ a finitely presented group. We introduce new techniques for computing Hodge-Deligne and…

Ergodic theory, Higher order Fourier analysis and the hyper graph regularity method are three possible approaches to Szemer\'edi type theorems in abelian groups. In this paper we develop an algebraic theory that creates a connection between…

We obtain an adaptation of Dade's Conjecture and Sp\"ath's Character Triple Conjecture to unipotent characters of simple, simply connected finite reductive groups of type $\bf{A}$, $\bf{B}$ and $\bf{C}$. In particular, this gives a precise…

We study a spectral problem related to the finite-dimensional characters of the groups $Sp(2N)$, $SO(2N+1)$, and $SO(2N)$, which form the classical series $C$, $B$, and $D$, respectively. The irreducible characters of these three series are…

In recent times, there has been a lot of active research on monomial groups in two different directions. While group theorists are interested in the study of their normal subgroups and Hall subgroups, the interest of group ring theorists…

In this paper, we begin to develop a theory of character sheaves on an affine algebraic group $G$ defined over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$ using the approach developed by Boyarchenko and Drinfeld for unipotent…

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…

An algorithm for the explicit computation of a complete set of primitive central idempotents, Wedderburn decomposition and the automorphism group of the semisimple group algebra of a finite metabelian group is developed. The algorithm is…

We develop the rudiments of a finite-dimensional representation theory of groups over idempotent semifields by considering linear actions on tropical linear spaces. This can be considered a tropical representation theory, a characteristic…

A transitive permutation group is semiprimitive if each of its normal subgroups is transitive or semiregular. Interest in this class of groups is motivated by two sources: problems arising in universal algebra related to collapsing monoids…

We modify a previous result, which showed that certain diagrams of spaces are essentially simplicial monoids, to construct diagrams of spaces which model simplicial groups. Furthermore, we show that these diagrams can be generalized to…

In this paper we show how the theory of monads can be used to deduce in a uniform manner several duality theorems involving categories of relations on one side and categories of algebras with homomorphisms preserving only some operations on…

We construct supercharacter theories for the finite groups constructed by parabolic constraction from simple groups of $A,B,C,D$ Lie types. In terms of rook placements in the root systems we classify supecharacters and superclasses.

By exploiting relationships between the values taken by ordinary characters of symmetric groups we prove two theorems in the modular representation theory of the symmetric group. 1. The decomposition matrices of symmetric groups in odd…

A celebrated theorem of Shoda states that over any field K (of characteristic 0), every matrix with trace 0 can be expressed as a commutator AB-BA, or, equivalently, that the set of values of the polynomial f(x,y)=xy-yx on the nxn-matrix…

The solvability of monomial groups is a well-known result in character theory. Certain properties of Artin L-series suggest a generalization of these groups, namely to such groups where every irreducible character has some multiple which is…

Given $r \in \mathbf{N},$ let $\lambda$ be a partition of $r$ with at most two parts. Let $\mathbf{F}$ be a field of characteristic 3. Write $M^\lambda$ for the $\mathbf{F}S_r$-permutation module corresponding to the action of the symmetric…
