Let $G$ be a finite group and $p$ be a prime. We denote by $C_p(G)$ the poset of all cosets of $p$-subgroups of $G$. We characterize the homotopy type of the geometric realization $|\Delta C_p(G)|$ for $p$-closed groups $G$, which is…

Let $G$ be a direct product of inner forms of general linear groups over non-archimedean locally compact fields of residue characteristic $p$ and let $K^1$ be the pro-$p$-radical of a maximal compact open subgroup of $G$. In this paper we…

We study the groups $G$ with the curious property that there exists an element $k\in G$ and a function $f\colon G\to G$ such that $f(xk)=xf(x)$ holds for all $x\in G$. This property arose from the study of near-rings and input-output…

In this paper, we try to answer the following question: given a modular tensor category $\A$ with an action of a compact group $G$, is it possible to describe in a suitable sense the ``quotient'' category $\A/G$? We give a full answer in…

We start with a small paradigm shift about group representations, namely the observation that restriction to a subgroup can be understood as an extension-of-scalars. We deduce that, given a group $G$, the derived and the stable categories…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p\ge 0$. Let $G$ be an affine group scheme over $k$. We classify the indecomposable exact module categories over the rigid tensor category $\text{Coh}_f(G)$ of coherent sheaves of…

In this dissertation we study the Hodge-Witt cohomology of the $d$-dimensional Drinfeld's upper half space $\mathcal{X} \subset \mathbb{P}_k^d$ over a finite field $k$. We consider the natural action of the $k$-rational points $G$ of the…

We consider a finite dimensional $\kk G$-module $V$ of a $p$-group $G$ over a field $\kk$ of characteristic $p$. We describe a generating set for the corresponding Hilbert Ideal. In case $G$ is cyclic this yields that the algebra $\kk[V]_G$…

Suppose that $\tilde{G}$ is a connected reductive group defined over a field $k$, and $\Gamma$ is a finite group acting via $k$-automorphisms of $\tilde{G}$ satisfying a certain quasi-semisimplicity condition. Then the connected part of the…

Let $G$ be a finite subgroup of $\operatorname{PGL}_3(\mathbb{C})$, and let $\sigma$ be the generator of $\operatorname{Gal}(\mathbb{C}/\mathbb{R})$. We say that $G$ has a \emph{real field of moduli} if $^{\sigma}G$ and $G$ are…

Let $K$ be a normal subgroup of the finite group $H$. To a block of a $K$-interior $H$-algebra we associate a group extension, and we prove that this extension is isomorphic to an extension associated to a block given by the Brauer…

We show that group C*-algebras of finitely generated, nilpotent groups have finite nuclear dimension. It then follows, from a string of deep results, that the C*-algebra $A$ generated by an irreducible representation of such a group has…

A finite $p$-group $G$ is said to be $d$-maximal if $d(H)<d(G)$ for every subgroup $H<G$, where $d(G)$ denotes the minimal number of generators of $G$. A similar definition can be formulated when $G$ is acted on by some group $A$. We…

Let $G$ be a permutation group on a set $\Omega$, and $k$ a positive integer. The $k$-closure $G^{(k)}$ of $G$ is the largest subgroup of $\operatorname{Sym}(\Omega)$, with the same as $G$ orbits of componentwise action on $\Omega^k$. We…

For a finite cyclic p-group G and a discrete valuation domain R of characteristic 0 with maximal ideal pR the R[G]-permutation modules are characterized in terms of the vanishing of first degree cohomology on all sub- groups (cf. Thm. A).…

Let $G=GL_n(K)$ be the general linear group defined over an infinite field $K$ of positive characteristic $p$ and let $\Delta(\lambda)$ be the Weyl module of $G$ which corresponds to a partition $\lambda$. In this paper we classify all…

We investigate infinite dimensional modules for an affine group scheme $\mathbb G$ of finite type over a field of positive characteristic $p$. For any subspace $X \subset \mathcal O(\mathbb G)$ of the coordinate algebra of $\mathbb G$, we…

Let $G$ be a finite group such that $\text{SL}(n,q)\subseteq G \subseteq \text{GL}(n,q)$ and $Z$ be a central subgroup of $G$. In this paper we determine the group $T(G/Z)$ consisting of the equivalence classes of endotrivial…
