We show that trivial extensions of gentle tree algebras are exactly Brauer tree algebras without exceptional vertex. We also give a characterization for the algebras whose trivial extensions are Brauer line/star/cycle algebras. As a…

Let $G$ be the finite simple Chevalley group of type $^2E_6(2)$. It has a Schur multiplier of type $C_2^2 \times C_3$. We determine the ordinary character tables of the central extensions $3.G$, $6.G$, $(2^2\times 3).G$ of $G$ and their…

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,…

We consider real versions of Brauer's k(B) conjecture, Olsson's conjecture and Eaton's conjecture. We prove the real version of Eaton's conjecture for 2-blocks of groups with cyclic defect group and for the principal 2-blocks of groups with…

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 compute the trivial source character tables (also called species tables of the trivial source ring) of the infinite family of finite groups $\text{SL}_{2}(q)$ for $q$ even, over a large enough field $k$ of positive characteristic…

In this paper, we investigate the block that has an abelian defect group of rank $2$ and its Brauer correspondent has only one simple module. We will get an isotypy between the block and its Brauer correspondent. It will generalize the…

We prove that if $b$ is a block of a finite group with normal abelian defect group and inertial quotient a direct product of elementary abelian groups, then $\operatorname{Picent}(b)$ is trivial. We also provide examples of blocks $b$ of…

One of the main problems in representation theory is to understand the exact relationship between Brauer corresponding blocks of finite groups. The case where the local correspondent has a unique simple module seems key. We characterize…

We analyze cyclic cell modules over walled Brauer algebra in terms of a certain normal form. The latter allows us to decompose the algebra into the generating set and annihilator ideal of a certain cyclic vector. In addition, we show that…

We use the theory of blocks of cyclic defect to prove that under a certain condition on the principal p-block of a finite group G the normalized unit group of the integral group ring of G contains an element of order pq if and only if so…

We describe an algorithm, which - given the characters of tilting modules and assuming that Donkin's tilting conjecture is true - computes the characters of simple modules for an algebraic group in any characteristic.

Let B be a block of a finite group G with defect group D. We prove that the exponent of the center of D is determined by the character table of G. In particular, we show that D is cyclic if and only if B contains a "large" family of…

Given an odd prime $p$, we investigate the position of simple modules in the stable Auslander-Reiten quiver of the principal block of a finite group with non-cyclic abelian Sylow $p$-subgroups. In particular, we prove a reduction to finite…

It is shown that Section 8 of Plesken's 1983 lecture notes describes blocks of cyclic defect group up to Morita equivalence. In particular such a block is determined by its planar embedded Brauer tree. Applying the radical idealizer…

In this note, we give a group-theoretic condition which is equivalent to the fact that the trivial character is the only complex irreducible character of a finite group G which is contained in the principal p-block for each prime p in a…

We study a weakened version of the Holm--Willems Local Conjecture. The problem is reduced to quasi-simple groups under the assumption that the defect group is abelian. Complete proofs are provided in the case \(p = 2\).

Suppose that $B$ is a Brauer $p$-block with defect group $D$. If $B$ exactly contains 4 irreducible characters, then we show that $D$ has order 4 or 5, assuming the Alperin--McKay conjecture.

We introduce a new type of equivalence between blocks of finite group algebras called a strong isotypy. A strong isotypy is equivalent to a $p$-permutation equivalence and restricts to an isotypy in the sense of Brou\'{e}. To prove these…

We give a block decomposition of the dg category of character sheaves on a simple and simply-connected complex reductive group $G$, similar to the one in generalized Springer correspondence. As a corollary, we identify the category of…
