For a smooth hypersurface of even dimension, the quadratic character of the absolute Galois group defined by the determinant of the l-adic cohomology of middle dimension is computed via the square root of the discriminant of a defining…

We present an explicit formula for subregular characters (i.e, irreducible finite-dimensional complex characters of submaximal degree) of the unitriangular group over a finite field of sufficiently large characteristic.

In this paper we consider in detail the composition of an irreducible polynomial with X^2 and suggest a recurrent construction of irreducible polynomials of fixed degree over finite fields of odd characteristics. More precisely, given an…

We give an explicit construction of all complex continuous irreducible characters of the group ${\rm SL}_1(D)$, where $D$ is a division algebra of prime degree $\ell$ over a local field of odd residual characteristic different than $\ell$.…

We classify the finite groups $G$ which satisfies the condition that every complex irreducible character,whose degree's square doesn't divide the index of its kernel in $G$, lies in the same Galois conjugacy class.

Let $G$ be a finite group and $\mathrm{Irr}(G)$ the set of all irreducible complex characters of $G$. Define the codegree of $\chi \in \mathrm{Irr}(G)$ as $\mathrm{cod}(\chi):=\frac{|G:\mathrm{ker}(\chi) |}{\chi(1)}$ and denote by…

For an important class of arithmetic Dedekind domains O including the ring of integers of not totally complex number fields, we describe explicitly the group of linear characters of SL_2(O). For this, we determine, for arbitrary Dedekind…

We show that for any knot there exist only finitely many irreducible metabelian characters in the $SL(2,\mathbb{C})$-character variety of the knot group, and the number is given explicitly by using the determinant of the knot. Then it turns…

We classify the irreducible complex characters of the symplectic groups $Sp_{2n}(q)$ and the orthogonal groups $Spin_{2n}^\pm(q)$, $Spin_{2n+1}(q)$ of degrees up to the bound D, where $D=(q^n-1)q^{4n-10}/2$ for symplectic groups,…

We prove that, in a finite group, if every rational irreducible character has odd degree, then all rational elements are 2-elements, as it was originally conjectured by Tiep and Tong-Viet.

We associate to every central simple algebra with involution of orthogonal type in characteristic two a totally singular quadratic form which reflects certain anisotropy properties of the involution. It is shown that this quadratic form can…

In this paper we study finite p-solvable groups having irreducible complex characters chi in Irr(G) which take roots of unity values on the p-singular elements of G.

An irreducible character $\chi$ of an association scheme is called nonlinear if the multiplicity of $\chi$ is greater than $1$. The main result of this paper gives a characterization of commutative association schemes with at most two…

We define and study supercharacters of the classical finite unipotent groups of symplectic and orthogonal types (over any finite field of odd characteristic). We show how supercharacters for groups of those types can be obtained by…

Consider an irreducible, admissible representation $\pi$ of GL(2,$F$) whose restriction to GL(2,$F)^+$ breaks up as a sum of two irreducible representations $\pi_+ + \pi_-$. If $\pi=r_{\theta}$, the Weil representation of GL(2,$F$) attached…

We show that a holomorphic eta quotient has only finitely many factors. We also provide an algorithm for checking irreducibility of holomorphic eta quotients by constructing an upper bound for the minimum of the levels of the proper factors…

Let $G$ be a finite $p$-group, where $p$ is an odd prime number, $H$ be a subgroup of $G$ and $\theta\in \Irr(H)$ be an irreducible character of $H$. Assume also that $|G:H|=p^2$. Then the character $\theta^G$ of $ G$ induced by $\theta$ is…

Let $M$ be a $3$-manifold, compact with boundary and $\Gamma$ its fundamental group. Consider a complex reductive algebraic group G. The character variety $X(\Gamma,G)$ is the GIT quotient $\mathrm{Hom}(\Gamma,G)//G$ of the space of…
