We show that a conjecture of Giannelli on character degrees of height zero characters holds for blocks with a cyclic or Klein four defect group.

Let G be a finite simple group of Lie type. In this paper we study characters of G that vanish at the non-semisimple elements and whose degree is equal to the order of a maximal unipotent subgroup of G. Such characters can be viewed as a…

We construct a supercharacter theory for the group of invertible elements of a reduced algebra. For the case of the triangular group, we obtain the formula for values of supercharacters on superclasses.

We establish curious Lefschetz property for generic character varieties of Riemann surfaces conjectured by Hausel, Letellier and Rodriguez-Villegas. Our main tool applies directly in the case when there is at least one puncture where the…

We obtain an adaptation of Dade's Conjecture and Sp\"ath's Character Triple Conjecture to unipotent characters of simple, simply connected finite reductive groups of type $\bf{A}$, $\bf{B}$ and $\bf{C}$. In particular, this gives a precise…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$, and let $\mathcal{O}$ be either $k$ or its ring of Witt vectors $W(k)$. Let $G$ a finite group and $B$ a block of $\mathcal{O}G$ with normal abelian defect group and abelian…

If X is a CW complex, one can assign to each point of X an ordered abelian group of finite rank whose subset of positive elements depends continuously on the points of X. A locally trivial bundle which arises in this way we denote by E(X).…

We determine the structure of 2-blocks with minimal nonabelian defect groups, by making use of the classification of finite simple groups.

We define Whittaker modules for the twisted Heisenberg-Virasoro algebra and obtain analogues to several results from the classical setting, including a classification of simple Whittaker modules by central characters.

We propose a new approach for the study of the Jacquet module of a Harish-Chandra module of a real semisimple Lie group. Using this method, we investigate the structure of the Jacquet module of principal series representation generated by…

We classify the Morita equivalence classes of blocks with elementary abelian defect groups of order $16$ with respect to a complete discrete valuation ring with algebraically closed residue field of characteristic two. As a consequence,…

We prove that the vector bundles at the core of the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov and quantum constructions of braid groups representations are topologically trivial bundles. We provide partial generalizations of this result to generalized braid…

In this paper, we discuss O-basis of symmetry classes of polynomials associated with the Brauer character of the Dicyclic group. Also, necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the existence of an orthogonal basis consisting of…

We compute the irreducible constitutents of the product of the Weil character and the Steinberg character in those finite classical groups for which a Weil character is defined, namely the symplectic, unitary and general linear groups. It…

Dehn twists around simple closed curves in oriented surfaces satisfy the braid relations. This gives rise to a group theoretic from the braid group to the mapping class group. We prove here that this map is trivial in stable homology with…

The "Rouquier blocks" of the cyclotomic Hecke algebras, introduced by Rouquier, are a substitute for the "families of characters", defined by Lusztig for Weyl groups, which can be applied to all complex reflection groups. In this article,…

This paper characterizes the quasilocal fields from the class of Henselian valued fields with totally indivisible value groups, which possess finite separable extensions of nontrivial defect. We show that, for any prime number $q$, a…

We show that the refinement of Alperin's Conjecture proposed in "Frobenius Categories versus Brauer Blocks", Progress in Math. 274, can be proved by checking that this refinement holds on any central k*-extension of a finite group H…

In this paper, we give a simple proof of a triviality criterion due to I.Biswas and J.Pedro and P.Dos Santos. We also prove a vector bundle on a homogenous space is trivial if and only if the restrictions of the vector bundle to Schubert…

In this paper we investigate gradings on tame blocks of group algebras whose defect group is dihedral. We classify gradings on an arbitrary dihedral block up to graded Morita equivalence. We do this by computing the group of outer…
