In this paper, we get an elementary and important lemma(See Lemma 3.2) which is about pushout and pullback of modules. And we prove a weak form of a long open conjecture on vanishing of group cohomology for blocks.

We give the very first example of a simple $2-(81,6,2)$ design. Its points are the elements of the elementary abelian group of order 81 and each block is the union of two parallel lines of the 4-dimensional geometry over the field of order…

We study 2-term tilting complexes of Brauer tree algebras in terms of simplicial complexes. We show the symmetry and convexity of the simplicial complexes as lattice polytopes. Via a geometric interpretation of derived equivalences, we show…

This paper deals with the number of subgroups of a given exponent in a finite abelian group. Explicit formulas are obtained in the case of rank two and rank three abelian groups. An asymptotic formula is also presented.

In this paper, we calculate the numbers of irreducible ordinary characters and irreducible Brauer characters in a block of a finite group $G$, whose associated fusion system over a 2-subgroup $P$ of $G$ (which is a defect group of the…

We consider degenerations of all simple Lie algebras of exceptional type obtained by embedding into affine Lie algebras. We give a filtration to consider this as an abelianisation of the original Lie algebra. We then show that the…

Let $b$ be a block with normal abelian defect group and abelian inertial quotient. We prove that every Morita auto-equivalence of $b$ has linear source. We note that this improves upon results of Zhou and also Boltje, Kessar and…

A new class of associative algebras referred to as affine walled Brauer algebras are introduced. These algebras are free with infinite rank over a commutative ring containing 1. Then level two walled Brauer algebras over C are defined,…

In an attempt to get some information on the multiplicative structure of the Green ring we study algebraic modules for simple groups, and associated groups such as quasisimple and almost-simple groups. We prove that, for almost all groups…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $(K,\mathcal{O},k)$ be a $p$-modular system "large enough". Let $R=\mathcal{O}$ or $k$. There is a bijection between the blocks of the group algebra $RG$ and the central primitive idempotents (the blocks) of…

We introduce a new type of equivalence between blocks of finite group algebras called an almost isotypy. An almost isotypy restricts to a weak isotypy in Brou\'{e}'s original definition, and it is slightly weaker than Linckelmann's version.…

Brauer algebras form a tower of cellular algebras. There is a well-defined notion of limiting blocks for these algebras. In this paper we give a complete description of these limiting blocks over any field of positive characteristic. We…

Let $Q$ be the 3-Kronecker quiver, i.e., $Q$ has two vertices, labeled by 1 and 2, and three arrows from 2 to 1. Fix an algebraically closed field $k$. Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a regular component of the Auslander-Reiten quiver containing an…

In this work, we classify the group gradings on finite-dimensional incidence algebras over a field, where the field has characteristic zero, or the characteristic is greater than the dimension of the algebra, or the grading group is…

In 1941, Brauer-Nesbitt established a characterization of a block with trivial defect group as a block $B$ with $k(B) = 1$ where $k(B)$ is the number of irreducible ordinary characters of $B$. In 1982, Brandt established a characterization…

We calculate the (super)decomposition matrix for a RoCK block of a double cover of the symmetric group with abelian defect, verifying a conjecture of the first author. To do this, we exploit a theorem of the second author and Livesey that a…

We study vector-valued Siegel modular forms of genus 2 and level 2. We describe the structure of certain modules of vector-valued modular forms over rings of scalar-valued modular forms.

We study the special fibers of a certain class of absolutely simple abelian varieties over number fields with endomorphism rings $\bz$ and possessing $l$-adic monodromy groups of the least possible rank. We also study the Dirichlet density…

This is the second installment of an exposition of an ACL2 formalization of finite group theory. The first, which was presented at the 2022 ACL2 workshop, covered groups and subgroups, cosets, normal subgroups, and quotient groups,…

In this paper we are interested in the stability of the $2$-rank of the class group in the cyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_2$-extension of real biquadratic fields. In fact, we give several families of real biquadratic fields $K$ such that $…
