We define a new invariant for a $p$-block, the strong Frobenius number, which we use to address the problem of reducing Donovan's conjecture to normal subgroups of index p. As an application we use the strong Frobenius number to complete…

Let $\ell$ be a prime number. We show that the Morita Frobenius number of an $\ell$-block of a quasi-simple finite group is at most 4 and that the strong Frobenius number is at most $4|D|^2!$, where D denotes a defect group of the block. We…

Let $p$ be an odd prime and let $B$ be a $p$-block of a finite group which has cyclic defect groups. We show that all exceptional characters in $B$ have the same Frobenius-Schur indicators. Moreover the common indicator can be computed,…

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the finite Frobenius groups with "perfect order classes"; that is, those for which the number of elements of each order is a divisor of the order of the group. If a finite Frobenius group has…

A countable discrete group is said to be Frobenius stable if every function from the group to unitary matrices that is "almost multiplicative" in the Frobenius norm is "close" to a unitary representation in the Frobenius norm. The purpose…

The objective of this research paper is to study the relationship between a block of a finite group and a defect group of such block. We define a new notion which is called a strongly $k(D)$-block and give a necessary and sufficient…

We show that the Morita Frobenius number of the blocks of the alternating groups, the finite groups of Lie type in describing characteristic, and the Ree and Suzuki groups is 1. We also show that the Morita Frobenius number of almost all of…

We use the theory of blocks of cyclic defect to prove that under a certain condition on the principal p-block of a finite group G the normalized unit group of the integral group ring of G contains an element of order pq if and only if so…

In this paper, we introduce a class of blocks which is called hyperfocal abelian Frobenius blocks.This class of blocks is an analogous version of the block with abelian defect group and Frobenius inertial quotient at hyperfocal level and…

We prove by using simple number-theoretic arguments formulae concerning the number of elements of a fixed order and the number of cyclic subgroups of a direct product of several finite cyclic groups. We point out that certain multiplicative…

The aim of this paper is to apply character properties of Frobenius group to a local block form of an group algebra. We start by establishing a block form of Brauer permutation Lemma by using block participation of conjugate classes of a…

We construct blocks of finite groups with arbitrarily large $\mathcal{O}$-Morita Frobenius numbers. There are no known examples of two blocks defined over $\mathcal{O}$ that are not Morita equivalent but the corresponding blocks defined…

We provide a simple proof for a complementary pair of group codes over a finite non-commutative Frobenius ring of the fact that one of them is equivalent to the other one. We also explore this fact for checkeable codes over the same type of…

In this paper we complete the determination of the Brauer trees of unipotent blocks (with cyclic defect groups) of finite groups of Lie type. These trees were conjectured by the first author. As a consequence, the Brauer trees of principal…

We demonstrate that the blocks of a profinite group whose defect groups are cyclic have a Brauer tree algebra structure analogous to the case of finite groups. We show further that the Brauer tree of a block with defect group…

Let a and b be positive, relatively prime integers. We show that the following are equivalent: (i) d is a dead end in the (symmetric) Cayley graph of Z with respect to a and b, (ii) d is a Frobenius value with respect to a and b (it cannot…

In this paper, we define a set of good basic invariants for a finite complex reflection group under certain conditions. We show that a set of good basic invariants for a finite real reflection group gives a set of the flat invariants…

In this paper, we classify all $2$-blocks for which the defect groups are abelian and the inertial quotient has prime order. As a consequence, we prove that Brou\'e's abelian defect group conjecture holds for all blocks under consideration…

A long standing problem in the area of error correcting codes asks whether there exist good cyclic codes. Most of the known results point in the direction of a negative answer. The uncertainty principle is a classical result of harmonic…

We generalize and prove a hypothesis by V. Arnold on the parity of Frobenius number. For the case of symmetric semigroups with three generators of Frobenius numbers we found an exact formula, which in a sense is the sum of two Sylvester's…
