In this paper, we first show that the irreducible characters of a quotient table algebra modulo a normal closed subset can be viewed as the irreducible characters of the table algebra itself. Furthermore, we define the character products…

A way to construct (conjecturally all) simple finite dimensional modular Lie (super)algebras over algebraically closed fields of characteristic not 2 is offered. In characteristic 2, the method is supposed to give only simple Lie…

Ergodic theory, Higher order Fourier analysis and the hyper graph regularity method are three possible approaches to Szemer\'edi type theorems in abelian groups. In this paper we develop an algebraic theory that creates a connection between…

The maximal subgroup of unipotent upper-triangular matrices of the finite general linear groups are a fundamental family of $p$-groups. Their representation theory is well-known to be wild, but there is a standard supercharacter theory,…

We define super-Cayley graphs over a finite abelian group $G$. Using the theory of supercharacters on $G$, we explain how their spectra can be realized as a super-Fourier transform of a superclass characteristic function. Consequently, we…

Using class field theory one associates to each curve C over a finite field, and each subgroup G of its divisor class group, unramified abelian covers of C whose genus is determined by the index of G. By listing class groups of curves of…

The classification of one parameter local Coulomb branch solution of theories with eight supercharges is given by assuming that it is given by a genus $g$ fiberation of Riemann surfaces. The crucial point is the fact that certain conjugacy…

The purpose of the present paper is to investigate a hypergroup arising from irreducible characters of a compact group G and a closed subgroup of G with finite index. The convolution of this hypergroup is introduced by inducing irreducible…

Berkovich, Chillag and Herzog characterized all finite groups $G$ in which all the nonlinear irreducible characters of $G$ have distinct degrees. In this paper we extend this result showing that a similar characterization holds for all…

In this article we extend independent results of Lusztig and H\'ezard concerning the existence of irreducible characters of finite reductive groups, (defined in good characteristic and arising from simple algebraic groups), satisfying a…

We develop necessary and sufficient conditions and a novel provably consistent and efficient algorithm for discovering topics (latent factors) from observations (documents) that are realized from a probabilistic mixture of shared latent…

Landau's theorem on conjugacy classes asserts that there are only finitely many finite groups, up to isomorphism, with exactly $k$ conjugacy classes for any positive integer $k$. We show that, for any positive integers $n$ and $s$, there…

We introduce and study some families of groups whose irreducible characters take values on quadratic extensions of the rationals. We focus mostly on a generalization of inverse semi-rational groups, which we call uniformly semi-rational…

Group theory is a particularly fertile field for the design of practical algorithms. Algorithms have been developed across the various branches of the subject and they find wide application. Because of its relative maturity, computational…

We construct an infinite word $w$ over the $5$-letter alphabet such that for every factor $f$ of $w$ of length at least two, there exists a cyclic permutation of $f$ that is not a factor of $w$. In other words, $w$ does not contain a…

In 2021, Navarro and Tiep proposed a conjecture on character fields of finite quasi-simple groups. We develop some theory on sums of roots of unity and use this theory to prove the conjecture for some infinite families of finite…

We prove that a finite group is rational if and only if it has a set of permutation characters which separate conjugacy classes. It follows from this that a finite group is rational if and only if it has a representation as a permutation…

A constructive procedure is given to determine all ideals of a solvable Lie algebra. This is used in determining algorithmically all conjugacy classes of subalgebras of a given solvable Lie algebra.

Let X be an irreducible, primitive complex character of the finite solvable group G, and let X* denote the complex conjugate character. If the degree X(1) is odd, then we show how to associate to X in a unique way, a conjugacy class of…

Given a generalized $e$-block $B$ of a symmetric group and an $e$-regular conjugacy class $C$, we study the number of irreducible characters in $B$ which do not vanish on $C$ and find lower bounds for it.
