We study a class of finite groups, called almost monomial groups, which generalize the class of monomial groups and it is connected with the theory of Artin L-functions. Our method of research is based on finding similarities with the…

Given a finite group $G$, we study the monomial algebra $R_G$, generated by the monomial characters of $G$. In particular, we note that the integral closure of $R_G$ is contained in the algebra generated by those characters $\chi$ for which…

If $K/\mathbb Q$ is a finite Galois extension with an almost monomial Galois group and if $s_0\in\mathbb C\setminus\{1\}$ is not a common zero for any two Artin L-functions associated to distinct complex irreducible characters of the Galois…

We introduce a new class of finite groups, called weak almost monomial, which generalize two different notions of "almost monomial" groups, and we prove it is closed under taking factor groups and direct products. Let $K/\mathbb Q$ be a…

The solvability of monomial groups is a well-known result in character theory. Certain properties of Artin L-series suggest a generalization of these groups, namely to such groups where every irreducible character has some multiple which is…

Let $K/\mathbb Q$ be a finite Galois extension, $s_0\in \mathbb C\setminus \{1\}$, ${\it Hol}(s_0)$ the semigroup of Artin L-functions holomorphic at $s_0$. If the Galois group is almost monomial then Artin's L-functions are holomorphic at…

In this expository note we show the inception and development of the Heilbronn characters and their application to the holomorphy of quotients of Artin L-functions. Further we use arithmetic Heilbronn characters introduced by Wong, to deal…

Let $k$ be a number field and $G$ be a finite group. Let $\mathfrak{F}_{k}^{G}(Q)$ be the family of number fields $K$ with absolute discriminant $D_K$ at most $Q$ such that $K/k$ is normal with Galois group isomorphic to $G$. If $G$ is the…

We observe an inductive structure in a large class of Artin groups and exploit this information to deduce the Farrell-Jones isomorphism conjecture for several classes of Artin groups of finite real, complex and affine types.

We construct a few supercharacter theories for finite semidirect products with the normal subgroup of algebra group type. In the case of algebra groups, these supercharacter theories coincide with the one of P.Diaconis and I.M.Isaaks. For…

Let $K/{\mathbb Q}$ be a finite Galois extension, and let $s_0\neq 1$ be a complex number. We present two new criteria for the Artin L-functions to be holomorphic at $s_0$.

Even with the introduction of supercharacter theories, the representation theory of many unipotent groups remains mysterious. This paper constructs a family of supercharacter theories for normal pattern groups in a way that exhibit many of…

The method of little groups describes the irreducible characters of semidirect products with abelian normal subgroups in terms of the irreducible characters of the factor groups. We modify this method to construct supercharacter theories of…

We compute the Artin $L$-function of a diagonal hypersurface D_{\lambda} over a finite field associated to a character of a finite group acting on D_{\lambda} , and under some condition, express it in terms of hypergeometric functions and…

We describe the supercharacter theories of the semidirect product of H and K, $H\rtimes K$ in terms of the supercharacter theories of the direct product of H and K in the case when both H and K are Abelian groups. To do this we introduce…

We consider the problem of deciding if a group is the fundamental group of a smooth connected complex quasi-projective (or projective) variety using Alexander-based invariants. In particular, we solve the problem for large families of…

We construct supercharacter theories of finite unipotent groups in the orthogonal, symplectic and unitary types. Our method utilizes group actions in a manner analogous to that of Diaconis and Isaacs in their construction of supercharacters…

Even Artin groups generalize right-angled Artin groups by allowing the labels in the defining graph to be even. In this paper a complete characterization of quasi-projective even Artin groups is given in terms of their defining graphs.…

We find finite presentations for the automorphism group of the Artin pure braid group and the automorphism group of the pure braid group associated to the full monomial group.

We define the notion of a semicharacter of a group G : A function from the group to C*, whose restriction to any abelian subgroup is a homomorphism. We conjecture that for any finite group, the order of the group of semicharacters is…
