We prove a criterion for the irreducibility of an integral group representation \rho over the fraction field of a noetherian domain R in terms of suitably defined reductions of \rho at prime ideals of R. As applications, we give…

We show that a finite permutation group containing a regular abelian self-normalizing subgroup is soluble.

We prove that for a suitable class of representations of free group tensor products are generically irreducible. In particular we prove that there exist irreducible boundary realizations with infinite dimensional fiber.

For every finite abelian group $G$, there are positive integers $n$ and $d$ such that $G$ is isomorphic to the multiplicative group of $d$-th powers of reduced residues modulo $n$.

We investigate the question which Q-valued characters and characters of Q-representations of finite groups are Z-linear combinations of permutation characters. This question is known to reduce to that for quasi-elementary groups, and we…

We prove that there are only finitely many conjugacy classes of arithmetic maximal hyperbolic reflection groups.

Let G(q) be the group of permutations of the finite field F_q which is generated by those permutations that can be written as c-->ac^m+bc^n with 0<m<n<q and a,b in F_q with ab nonzero. We show that there are infinitely many q for which G(q)…

We obtain upper bounds on the composition length of a finite permutation group in terms of the degree and the number of orbits, and analogous bounds for primitive, quasiprimitive and semiprimitive groups. Similarly, we obtain upper bounds…

Necessary and sufficient conditions for a group to possess a faithful irreducible representation are investigated

We prove results concerning the representation of a given distribution by means of a given random quantity. The existence of a solution to this problem is related to the notion of conglomerability, originally introduced by Dubins to study…

Our aim is to transfer several foundational results from the modular representation theory of finite groups to the wider context of profinite groups. We are thus interested in profinite modules over the completed group algebra k[[G]] of a…

We prove a characterization of monomial projective representations of finitely generated nilpotent groups. We also characterize polycyclic groups whose projective representations are finite dimensional.

For a commutative ring R we investigate the property that the sets of minimal primes of finitely generated ideals of R is always finite. We prove this property passes to polynomial ring extensions (in an arbitrary number of variables) over…

We show that there are uncountably many algebraic extensions of $\mathbb{Q}$ containing at most finitely many moduli of CM simple principally polarized abelian varieties of any fixed dimension $g\geqslant1$, generalizing a result of…

In this paper we study the representation theory of filtered algebras with commutative associated graded whose spectrum has finitely many symplectic leaves. Examples are provided by the algebras of global sections of quantizations of…

We describe all closed permutation groups which act on the set of vectors of a countable vector space $V$ over a prime field of odd order and which contain all automorphisms of $V$. In particular, we prove that their number is finite. These…

Endosplit $p$-permutation resolutions play an instrumental role in verifying Brou\'{e}'s abelian defect group conjecture in numerous cases. We give a new characterization of all endosplit $p$-permutation resolutions and reduce the question…

Let $d \geq 2$ be an integer. We conjecture that there is a finitely generated perfect group whose homomorphic images include all finite $d$-generated perfect groups. We prove a special case of this conjecture for the finite perfect groups…

We address the problem of finding necessary and sufficient conditions for an arbitrary group, not necessarily finite, to admit a faithful irreducible representation over an arbitrary field.

A result of D. Segal states that every complex irreducible representation of a finitely generated nilpotent group $G$ is monomial if and only if $G$ is abelian-by-finite. A conjecture of A. N. Parshin, recently proved affirmatively by I.V.…
