We define a block-by-block version of Isaacs and Navarro's chain local condition and then prove that the Alperin-McKay conjecture is equivalent to a certain function on groups having this property. We then go on to prove several other…

The Jacobian conjecture in dimension $n$ asserts that any polynomial endomorphism of $n$-dimensional affine space over a field of zero characteristic, with the Jacobian equal 1, is invertible. The Dixmier conjecture in rank $n$ asserts that…

This article is concerned with the relative McKay conjecture for finite reductive groups. Let G be a connected reductive group defined over the finite field F_q of characteristic p>0 with corresponding Frobenius map F. We prove that if the…

We give a reduction to quasisimple groups for Donovan's conjecture for blocks with abelian defect groups defined with respect to a suitable discrete valuation ring $\mathcal{O}$. Consequences are that Donovan's conjecture holds for…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $(K,\mathcal{O},k)$ be a $p$-modular system. Let $R=\mathcal{O}$ or $k$. There is a bijection between the blocks of the group algebra and the blocks of the so-called $p$-local Mackey algebra $\mu_{R}^{1}(G)$.…

Let $k$ be a perfect field of characteristic $p$, and let $X/k$ be a smooth variety. It is known that given a Frobenius lifting of $X$, we can identify prismatic crystals and nilpotent Higgs bundles, known as a positive characteristic…

In this short note we confirm an analog of a conjecture of James Wiegold for finite dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras.

We initiate a general quantitative study of sets of $\mathcal{M}$-points, which are special subsets of rational points, generalizing Campana points, Darmon points, and squarefree solutions of Diophantine equations. We propose an asymptotic…

We study varieties defined by parameterizing polynomials of derivatives through a computational algebro-geometric approach, especially relying on Combinatorial Nullstellensatz and Noether normalization. We establish that these polynomials…

We study Brauer's long-standing $k(B)$-conjecture on the number of characters in $p$-blocks for finite quasi-simple groups and show that their blocks do not occur as a minimal counterexample for $p\ge5$ nor in the case of abelian defect.…

The method of little groups describes the irreducible characters of semidirect products with abelian normal subgroups in terms of the irreducible characters of the factor groups. We modify this method to construct supercharacter theories of…

We gather tools for proving the inductive McKay--Navarro (or Galois--McKay) condition for groups of Lie type and odd primes. We use this to establish a bijection in the case of quasisimple groups of Lie type A satisfying the equivariance…

The Malle-Navarro conjecture relates central block theoretic invariants in two inequalities. In this paper, we prove the conjecture for the 2-blocks and the unipotent 3-blocks of the general linear and unitary groups in non-defining…

Grunewald and O'Halloran conjectured in 1993 that every complex nilpotent Lie algebra is the degeneration of another, non isomorphic, Lie algebra. We prove the conjecture for the class of nilpotent Lie algebras admitting a semisimple…

In this short note we show that the uniform abc-conjecture over number fields puts strong restrictions on the coordinates of rational points on elliptic curves. For the proof we use a variant of the uniform abc-conjecture over number fields…

We verify the inductive McKay condition for simple groups of Lie type C, namely finite projective symplectic groups. This contributes to the program of a complete proof of the McKay conjecture for all finite groups via the reduction theorem…

We prove the ordinary Hecke orbit conjecture for Shimura varieties of Hodge type at primes of good reduction. We make use of the global Serre-Tate coordinates of Chai as well as recent results of D'Addezio about the $p$-adic monodromy of…

Suppose that $B$ is a Brauer $p$-block of a finite group $G$ with a unique modular character $\varphi$. We prove that $\varphi$ is liftable to an ordinary character of $G$ (which moreover is $p$-rational for odd $p$). This confirms the…

We show some inductive statements for the index conjecture for log canonical Calabi-Yau pairs. Using it, we show that boundedness of log canonical index for log canonical Calabi Yau pairs with rational DCC coefficients in dimension 3. We…

Given a generalized $e$-block $B$ of a symmetric group and an $e$-regular conjugacy class $C$, we study the number of irreducible characters in $B$ which do not vanish on $C$ and find lower bounds for it.
