Let G be a Frobenius group with the Frobenius kernel K. Suppose that G contains a nontrival subgroup D \subseteq K such that the normalizer N_G(D) \not\subseteq K. When D is no 2-group, Flavell proved, without using character theory, that K…

In this work, the author gives a character-free proof of the Frobenius theorem. The new proof is based on some notions and results from the theory of ternary operations, the theory of orthogonal binary operations, the theory of transversals…

By generalizing Frobenius' polynomial method to good partition algebra, we will develop new character theories for a finite group $G$. A uniform defining equations are derived for these kinds of character theories. The new character…

Ferdinand Georg Frobenius is generally considered the creator of character theory of finite groups. This achievement came from the study of the group determinant, which is the determinant of a matrix coming from the regular representation.…

Let G be a group and H be a subgroup of G which is either finite or of finite index in G. In this note, we give some characterizations for normality of H in G. As a consequence we get a very short and elementary proof of the Main Theorem of…

Gcharacter tables of a finite group G were defined before. These tables can be very useful to obtain certain structural information of a normal subgroup from the character table of G. We analyze certain structural properties of normal…

A finite group $P$ is said to be \emph{primary} if $|P|=p^{a}$ for some prime $p$. We say a primary subgroup $P$ of a finite group $G$ satisfies the \emph{Frobenius normalizer condition} in $G$ if $N_{G}(P)/C_{G}(P)$ is a $p$-group provided…

Let $N$ be a normal subgroup of a finite group $G$. From a result due to Brauer, it can be derived that the character table of $G$ contains square submatrices which are induced by the $G$-conjugacy classes of elements in $N$ and the…

We present a new criterion to predict if a character of a finite group extends. Let $G$ be a finite group and $p$ a prime. For $N\lhd G$, we consider $p$-blocks $b$ and $b'$ of $N$ and ${\rm N}_N(D)$, respectively, with $(b')^N=b$, where…

The purpose of the present paper is to investigate a hypergroup arising from irreducible characters of a compact group G and a closed subgroup of G with finite index. The convolution of this hypergroup is introduced by inducing irreducible…

In 1878, Jordan proved that if a finite group $G$ has a faithful representation of dimension $n$ over $\mathbb{C}$, then $G$ has a normal abelian subgroup with index bounded above by a function of $n$. The same result fails if one replaces…

A finite group $G$ is called monomial if every irreducible character of $G$ is induced from a linear character of some subgroup of $G$. One of the main questions regarding monomial groups is whether or not a normal subgroup $N$ of a…

If $H$ is a Hall subgroup of a finite group $G$, it was proven in 1989 using the classification of finite simple groups that all the irreducible complex characters of $H$ extend to $G$ if and only if there is $N\trianglelefteq G$ such that…

Let $p$ be an odd prime and let $B$ be a $p$-block of a finite group which has cyclic defect groups. We show that all exceptional characters in $B$ have the same Frobenius-Schur indicators. Moreover the common indicator can be computed,…

Let $G$ be an algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $\mathtt{k}$ of characteristic $p>0$. In this paper we develop the theory of character sheaves on groups $G$ such that their neutral connected components $G^\circ$ are…

The aim of this paper is to apply character properties of Frobenius group to a local block form of an group algebra. We start by establishing a block form of Brauer permutation Lemma by using block participation of conjugate classes of a…

It is shown that for a normal subgroup $N$ of a group $G$, $G/N$ cyclic, the kernel of the map $N^{\mathrm{ab}}\to G^{\mathrm{ab}}$ satisfies the classical Hilbert 90 property (cf. Thm. A). As a consequence, if $G$ is finitely generated,…

We prove a broad generalization of a theorem of W. Burnside on real characters using permutation characters. Under a necessary hypothesis, We can give some control on multiplicities (a result that needs the Classification of Finite Simple…

There has been some interest on how the average character degree affects the structure of a finite group. We define, and denote by $ \mathrm{anz}(G) $, the average number of zeros of characters of a finite group $ G $ as the number of zeros…

In the present paper, the structure of a finite group $G$ having a nonnormal T.I. subgroup $H$ which is also a Hall $\pi$-subgroup is studied. As a generalization of a result due to Gow, we prove that $H$ is a Frobenius complement whenever…
