For $G$ an algebraic group of type $A_l$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$, we determine all irreducible rational representations of $G$ in defining characteristic with dimensions $\le (l+1)^s$ for $s = 3, 4$,…

Given a non-principal Dirichlet character chi mod q, an important problem in number theory is to obtain good estimates for the size of L(1,chi). In this paper we focus on sharpening the upper bounds known for |L(1,chi)|; in particular, we…

Let $G$ be a connected Lie group. An unrefinable chain of $G$ is a chain of subgroups $G = G_0 > G_1 > \cdots > G_t = 1$, where each $G_i$ is a maximal connected subgroup of $G_{i-1}$. In this paper, we introduce the notion of the length…

Assuming the Lusztig conjecture on the irreducible characters for reductive algebraic groups in positive characteristic $p$, which is now a theorem for large $p$, we show that the modules for their Frobenius kernels induced from the simple…

Let $F(G)$ and $b(G)$ respectively denote the Fitting subgroup and the largest degree of an irreducible complex character of a finite group $G$. A well-known conjecture of D. Gluck claims that if $G$ is solvable then $|G:F(G)|\leq…

In some recent work, Lusztig outlined a generalisation of the construction of Deligne and Lusztig to reductive groups over finite rings coming from the ring of integers in a local field, modulo some power of the maximal ideal. Lusztig…

Let $G$ be a finite group of order divisible by a prime $p$. The number of $p$-regular and $p'$-regular conjugacy classes of $G$ is at least $2\sqrt{p-1}$. Also, the number of $p$-rational and $p'$-rational irreducible characters of $G$ is…

In this work, we classify all finite groups such that for every field extension F of \mathbb{Q}, F is the field of values of at most 3 irreducible characters.

In this paper we study higher Deligne--Lusztig representations of reductive groups over finite quotients of discrete valuation rings. At even levels, we show that these geometrically constructed representations coincide with certain induced…

Let (g,[p]) be a finite-dimensional restricted Lie algebra, defined over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p>0. The scheme of tori of maximal dimension of g gives rise to a finite group S(g) that coincides with the Weyl…

Let $G$ be a finite group, and $\pi$ be a set of primes. The $\pi$-core $\mathbf{O}_\pi(G)$ is the unique maximal normal $\pi$-subgroup of $G$, and $b(G)$ is the largest irreducible character degree of $G$. In 2017, Qian and Yang proved…

For a field $F$ of characteristic zero and an additive subgroup $G$ of $F$, a Lie algebra $B(G)$ of lock type is defined with basis $\{L_{a,i},c|a \in G, i>-2\}$ and relations…

We derive a Murnaghan--Nakayama type formula for the values of unipotent characters of finite classical groups on regular semisimple elements. This relies on Asai's explicit decomposition of Lusztig restriction. We use our formula to show…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $V$ be a finite $G$--module. We present upper bounds for the cardinalities of certain subsets of $\Irr(GV)$, such as the set of those $\chi\in\Irr(GV)$ such that, for a fixed $v\in V$, the restriction of $\chi$…

Let $G$ be a finite group, $p$ a prime, and $IBr_p(G)$ the set of irreducible $p$-Brauer characters of $G$. Let $\bar e_p(G)$ be the largest integer such that $p^{\bar e_p(G)}$ divides $\chi(1)$ for some $\chi \in IBr_p(G)$. We show that…

Answering a question of J. Rosenberg, we construct the first examples of infinite characters on $GL_n(\mathbf{K})$ for a global field $\mathbf{K}$ and $n\geq 2.$ The case $n=2$ is deduced from the following more general result. Let $G$ a…

Let G be a finite solvable group, and let h(G) denote its Fitting height, namely the length of a shortest normal series in G with nilpotent factors. We show, that any law in G has length at least h(G). This result is then used to improve a…
