The inductive blockwise Alperin weight condition is a system of conditions whose verification for all non-abelian finite simple groups would imply the blockwise Alperin weight conjecture. We establish this condition for the groups $G_2(q)$,…

We prove that for any prime $\ell$, any finite group has as many irreducible complex characters of degree prime to $\ell$ as the normalizers of its Sylow $\ell$-subgroups. This equality was conjectured by John McKay. The conjecture was…

In this paper we consider the inductive Alperin--McKay condition for isolated blocks of groups of Lie type $B$ and $C$. This finishes the verification of the inductive condition for groups of this type.

In this paper, we show that the Alperin-McKay conjecture holds for 2-blocks of maximal defect. A major step in the proof is the verification of the inductive Alperin-McKay condition for the principal 2-block of groups of Lie type in odd…

In a recent paper, Gabriel Navarro and Pham Huu Tiep show that the so-called Alperin Weight Conjecture can be verified via the Classification of the Finite Simple Groups, provided any simple group fulfills a very precise list of conditions.…

The so-called "local-global" conjectures in the representation theory of finite groups relate the representation theory of $G$ to that of certain proper subgroups, such as the normalizers of particular $p$-groups. Recent results by several…

For a prime $\ell$, the McKay conjecture suggests a bijection between the set of irreducible characters of a finite group with $\ell'$-degree and the corresponding set for the normalizer of a Sylow $\ell$- subgroup. Navarro's refinement…

As a step to establish the blockwise Alperin weight conjecture for all finite groups, we verify the inductive blockwise Alperin weight condition introduced by Navarro--Tiep and Sp\"ath for simple groups of Lie type $\mathsf A$, split or…

We determine the non-abelian composition factors of the finite groups with Sylow normalizers of odd order. As a consequence, among others, we prove the McKay conjecture and the Alperin weight conjecture for these groups.

We show that the refinement of Alperin's Conjecture proposed in "Frobenius Categories versus Brauer Blocks", Progress in Math. 274, can be proved by checking that this refinement holds on any central k*-extension of a finite group H…

This paper proposes a conjectural framework for Alperin's Main Problem of Block Theory from 1976. The character sets considered here are defined by nonvanishing at given elements, not only by degree conditions. From this point of view,…

We study numerical invariants of 2-blocks with minimal nonabelian defect groups. These groups were classified by R\'edei. If the defect group is also metacyclic, then the block invariants are known. In the remaining cases there are only two…
