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…

In this article, we study the elements with disconnected centralizer in the Brauer complex associated to a simple algebraic group G defined over a finite field with corresponding Frobenius map F and derive the number of F-stable semisimple…

For a prime $p$, we determine a Sylow $p$-subgroup $D$ of a finite group $G$ such that the principal $p$-block $B$ of $G$ has four irreducible ordinary characters. It has been determined already for the cases where the number is up to three…

The aim of this short research note is to present some results about a conjecture of Barker and Gelvin claiming that any source algebra of a block of a finite group has the unit group containing a basis stabilised by the left and right…

For finite groups $G$ with non-abelian, trivial intersection Sylow $p$-subgroups, the analysis of the Loewy structure of the centre of a block allows us to deduce that a stable equivalence of Morita type does not induce an algebra…

We determine the blocks of the periplectic Brauer algebra over any field of odd characteristic.

In math.RT/0205144 we observed that, on the level of derived categories, representations of the Lie algebra of a semisimple algebraic group over a field of finite characteristic with a given (generalized) regular central character can be…

We have found a list of finite simple groups with cyclic Sylow $p$-subgroup whose principal $p$-blocks have Brauer trees in the shape of a star, that is a tree of diameter at most $2$. Moreover, for an arbitrary finite group $G$ with cyclic…

On a cyclic group of prime order, the non-trivial Dirichlet characters together with their Fourier transforms have constant modulus outside 0 and vanish at 0. Answering a question of H. Cohn, we construct new functions with these…

A parametrization of irreducible unitary representations associated with the regular adjoint orbits of a hyperspecial compact subgroup of a reductive group over a non-dyadic non-archimedean local filed is presented. The parametrization is…

We compute the dimensions of $\operatorname{Ext}_G^n(V, W)$ for all irreducible $V$, $W$ lying in $r$-blocks of cyclic defect in the simple groups $\operatorname{Sz}(q)$, $\operatorname{PSU}_3(q)$ and $\operatorname{{}^2G}_2(q)$ in cross…

We determine the smallest irreducible Brauer characters for finite quasi-simple orthogonal type groups in non-defining characteristic. Under some restrictions on the characteristic we also prove a gap result showing that the next larger…

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…

We investigate a beautiful conjecture of T. Wilde on character values and element orders of finite groups. We reduce it to a statement on nearly simple groups that can be checked ``prime by prime". For these groups, we show that a strong…

Several recent problems in the representation theory of finite groups require determining whether certain characters of almost simple groups belong to the principal block. Since the values of these characters are not yet known, we employ…

In representation theory of finite groups an important role is played by irreducible characters of p-defect 0, for a prime p dividing the group order. These are exactly those vanishing at the p-singular elements. In this paper we generalize…

A derived version of Maschke's theorem for finite groups is proved: the derived categories, bounded or unbounded, of all blocks of the group algebra of a finite group are simple, in the sense that they admit no nontrivial recollements. This…

We study the ring of characteristic classes with values in the Chow ring for principal $G$-bundles over schemes. If we consider bundles which are locally trivial in the Zariski topology, then we show, for $G$ reductive, that this ring is…

We study the behavior of blocks in flat families of finite-dimensional algebras. In a general setting we construct a finite directed graph encoding a stratification of the base scheme according to the block structures of the fibers. This…

The families of characters, defined by Lusztig for Weyl groups, play an important role in the representation theory of finite reductive groups. The definition of Rouquier for the families of characters in terms of blocks of the Hecke…
