We discuss a practical algorithm to compute parabolic Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials. As an application we compute Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials which are needed to evaluate a character formula for reductive groups due to Lusztig. Some…

We find the exact size of a maximal non-commuting set in unipotent uppertriangular linear group $UU_4(\mathbb{F}_q)$ in terms of a non-commuting geometric structure (Refer Definition [10]), where $\mathbb{F}_q$ is the finite field with $q$…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $Irr(G)$ the set of irreducible complex characters of $G$. Let $e_p(G)$ be the largest integer such that $p^{e_p(G)}$ divides $\chi(1)$ for some $\chi \in Irr(G)$. We show that $|G:\mathbf{F}(G)|_p \leq p^{k…

The Fong-Swan theorem shows that for a $p$-solvable group $G$ and Brauer character $\phi \in \ibrg$, there is an ordinary character $\chi \in \irrg$ such that $\chi^0 = \phi$, where $^0$ denotes restriction to the $p$-regular elements of…

We give a lower bound of the Loewy length of the projective cover of the trivial module for the group algebra $kG$ of a finite group $G$ of Lie type defined over a finite field of odd characteristic $p$, where $k$ is an arbitrary field of…

For a prime $p$, a $p$-subgroup of a finite group $G$ is said to be large if and only if $Q= F^*(N_G(Q))$ and, for all $1 \neq U \le Z(Q)$, $N_G(U) \le N_G(Q)$. In this article we determine those groups $G$ which have a large subgroup and…

The unipotent subgroup of a finite group of Lie type over a prime field Z/pZ comes equipped with a natural set of generators; the properties of the Cayley graph associated to this set of generators have been much studied. In the present…

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>0 and let G be a symplectic or general linear group over k. We consider induced modules for G under the assumption that p is bigger than the greatest hook length in the partitions…

We determine an upper bound for the size of a stem $p$-group in terms of its breadth and its maximum character degree.

For a character $\chi$ of a finite group $G$, the number cod$(\chi):=|G:\mathrm{ker}(\chi)|/\chi(1)$ is called the codegree of $\chi$.In this paper, we give a solvability criterion for a finite group $G$ depending on the minimum of the…

For any element $g$ of compact reductive group $G$ we investigate the asymptotic behavior of its normalized irreducible character in the high-dimension limit, $\frac{\chi_\lambda(g)}{d_\lambda}$. We show that when $G$ is simple the limit…

This is the first paper in a sequence on Krull dimension for limit groups, answering a question of Z. Sela. In this paper we show that strict resolutions of a fixed limit group have uniformly bounded length. The upper bound plays two roles…

Let $G$ denote the unramified quasi-split unitary group $\mathbb{U}(1,1)(F)$ over a $p$-adic field $F$ with residual characteristic $p \neq 2$. In this paper, we first construct a large family of irreducible representations of the maximal…

For a finite non-abelian group $G$ let $\rat(G)$ denote the largest ratio of degrees of two nonlinear irreducible characters of $G$. We prove that the number of non-abelian composition factors of $G$ is bounded above by…
