A long-standing conjecture asserts that every finite non-abelian $p$-group has a non-inner automorphism of order $p$. In this paper, we settle the conjecture for a finite $p$-group ($p >2$) of nilpotency class $n$ with certain conditions.
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…
It was conjectured by H. Zassenhaus that a torsion unit of an integral group ring of a finite group is conjugate to a group element within the rational group algebra. The object of this note is the computational aspect of a method developed…
If $G$ is a finite classical group, linear or unitary in any characteristic, and orthogonal in odd characteristic, we give an approximate formula for $\chi(g)$ in which the error term is much smaller than the estimate, when $g\in G$ is an…
We prove (by a case-by-case analysis) a conjecture of Bernstein/Schwarzman to the effect that quotients of abelian varieties by suitable actions of (complex) reflection groups are weighted projective spaces, and show that this remains true…
Elementary abelian groups are finite groups in the form of $A=(\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z})^r$ for a prime number $p$. For every integer $\ell>1$ and $r>1$, we prove a non-trivial upper bound on the $\ell$-torsion in class groups of every…
We consider the equivariant Kasparov category associated to an \'etale groupoid, and by leveraging its triangulated structure we study its localization at the "weakly contractible" objects, extending previous work by R. Meyer and R. Nest.…
We state and verify up to weight 172 a conjecture on the existence of a certain generating set for spaces of classical Siegel modular forms. This conjecture is particularly useful for calculations involving Fourier expansions. Using this…
The aim of this short research note is to present some results about a conjecture of Barker and Gelvin claiming that any source algebra of a block of a finite group has the unit group containing a basis stabilised by the left and right…
We investigate the discrete Fuglede's conjecture and Pompeiu problem on finite abelian groups and develop a strong connection between the two problems. We give a geometric condition under which a multiset of a finite abelian group has the…
We prove that the inductive AM condition introduced by Britta Sp\"ath is true for the simple alternating groups in characteristic 2. To achieve this we give an equivalent of a well known result on blocks of the symmetric groups with the…
We give a reformulation of the Lehmer conjecture about algebraic integers in terms of a simple counting problem modulo p.
In a previous paper, we stated and motivated counting conjectures for fusion systems that are purely local analogues of several local-to-global conjectures in the modular representation theory of finite groups. Here we verify some of these…
We determine the numerical invariants of blocks with defect group D_{2^n}\times C_{2^m}, where D_{2^n} denotes a dihedral group of order 2^n and C_{2^m} denotes a cyclic group of order 2^m. This generalizes Brauer's results for m=0. As a…
We study some particular cases of Viterbo's conjecture relating volumes of convex bodies and actions of closed characteristics on their boundaries, focusing on the case of a Hamiltonian of classical mechanical type, splitting into summands…
A famous conjecture attributed to Dardano-Dikranjan-Rinauro-Salce states that any uniformly fully inert subgroup of a given group is commensurable with a fully invariant subgroup (see, respectively, [5] and [6]). In this short note, we…
The behavior of the images of a fixed element of order p in irreducible representations of a classical algebraic group in odd characteristic p with highest weights large enough with respect to p and this element is investigated. Lower…
We prove that the alternating groups of degree at least $5$ are uniquely determined up to an abelian direct factor by the degrees of their irreducible complex representations. This confirms Huppert's Conjecture for alternating groups.
Let G be a semisimple, simply-connected algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p > 0. We observe that the tensor product of the Steinberg module with a minuscule module is always indecomposable tilting.…
Deligne proved that the weights of Siegel modular forms on any congruence subgroup of the Siegel modular group of genus g>1 must be integral or half integral. We give a different proof for this. It uses Mennicke's result that subgroups of…
