We state a conjecture on the reduction modulo the defining characteristic of a unipotent representation of a finite reductive group.
This paper is concerned with the representation theory of finite groups. According to Robinson, the truth of certain variants of Alperin's weight conjecture on the $p$-blocks of a finite group would imply some arithmetical conditions on the…
We solve two problems in the theory of correspondences that have important implications in the theory of product systems. The first problem is the question whether every correspondence is the correspondence associated (by the representation…
We give a survey on the theory of representation-finite and certain minimal representation-infinite algebras.The main goals are the existence of multiplicative bases and of coverings with good properties. Both are attained via…
The centralizer algebra of the action of the unitary group on the real tensor powers of its natural module, is described by means of a modification in the multiplication of the signed Brauer algebras. The relationships of this algebra with…
We determine the smallest irreducible Brauer characters for finite quasi-simple orthogonal type groups in non-defining characteristic. Under some restrictions on the characteristic we also prove a gap result showing that the next larger…
Let G be a finite group, K a normal subgroup of G and H a subgroup such that G = HK, and set L = H \cap K. Suppose \theta \in Irr K and \phi \in Irr L, and \phi\ occurs in \theta_L with multiplicity n > 0. A projective representation of…
Let ${\bf G}$ be a connected reductive algebraic group defined over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ with $q$ elements. Let $\Bbbk$ be a field such that $\op{char} \Bbbk \ne \op{char} \mathbb{F}_q$. In this paper, we study the extensions of…
Fix a poset $P$ and a natural number $n$. For various commutative local rings $\Lambda$, each of Loewy length $n$, consider the category $\textrm{sub}_\Lambda P$ of $\Lambda$-linear submodule representations of $P$. We give a criterion for…
The irreducible components of varieties parametrizing the finite dimensional representations of a finite dimensional algebra $\Lambda$ are explored, with regard to both their geometry and the structure of the modules they encode. Provided…
The present paper describes some results on the Loewy series of the center of a modular group algebra in order to solve a problem on the number of irreducible ordinary characters. For instance, we prove that a $p$-block of a finite group…
We provide a method for constructing central idempotents in the Brauer algebra relating to the splitting of certain short exact sequences. We also determine some of the primitive central idempotents, and relate properties of the idempotents…
We study the representation theory of the cyclotomic Brauer algebra via truncation to idempotent subalgebras which are isomorphic to a product of walled and classical Brauer algebras. In particular, we determine the block structure and…
In an attempt to get some information on the multiplicative structure of the Green ring we study algebraic modules for simple groups, and associated groups such as quasisimple and almost-simple groups. We prove that, for almost all groups…
Playing off against each other the real and complex structures, we elucidate the local structure of certain representation spaces in the world of Poisson geometry. Particular cases of these spaces arise as moduli spaces of semistable…
In the representation theory of finite groups, there is a well-known and important conjecture, due to Brou\'e saying that for any prime p, if a p-block A of a finite group G has an abelian defect group P, then A and its Brauer corresponding…
Let F be a nonarchimedean local field of odd residual characteristic p. We classify finite-dimensional simple right modules for the pro-p-Iwahori-Hecke algebra $\mathcal{H}_C(G,I(1))$, where G is the unramified unitary group U(2,1)(E/F) in…
The Burau representation is a fundamental bridge between the braid group and diverse other topics in mathematics. A 1974 question of Birman asks for a description of the image; in this paper we give a "strong approximation" to the answer.…
The problem of classifying all short multiplets of superconformal algebras still seems to be an open question. A generic short multiplet is non-unitary, which nevertheless is of interest in various contexts. Even if one is interested in…
Classifications of irreducible components of the set of polynomial differential equations with a fixed degree and with at least one center singularity lead to some other new problems on Picard-Lefschetz theory and Brieskorn modules of…
