We give another proof of an observation of Th\'evenaz \cite{T1989} and present a fusion system version of it. Namely, for a saturated fusion system $\CF$ on a finite $p$-group $S$, we show that the number of the $\CF$-conjugacy classes of…

In this work, we identify a certain family of higher-dimensional formal groups over the ring of $p$-adic integers such that any two formal groups in that class coincide if they share infinitely many torsion points. As a useful application,…

In this paper we prove characterizations of $p$-nilpotency for fusion systems and $p$-local finite groups that are inspired by results in the literature for finite groups. In particular, we generalize criteria by Atiyah, Brunetti,…

We compare four different types of realizability for saturated fusion systems over discrete $p$-toral groups. For example, when $G$ is a locally finite group all of whose $p$-subgroups are artinian (hence discrete $p$-toral), we show that…

It is a long-standing open problem raised by Starostin to describe all finite groups with soluble centralizers of involutions. One can observe that if the centralizer fusion system of an involution is nilpotent, then the centralizer of that…

In this paper, we study the exotic $K(h)$-local Picard groups $\kappa_h$ when $2p-1=h^2$ and the homological Chromatic Vanishing Conjecture when $p-1$ does not divide $h$. The main idea is to use the Gross-Hopkins duality to relate both…

In a 1965 paper, R. Robinson made five conjectures about the classification of cyclotomic algebraic integers for which the maximum absolute value in any complex embedding (the house) is small, modulo the equivalence relation generated by…

We discuss a conjecture concerning the enumeration of nonsingular matrices over a finite field that are block companion and whose order is the maximum possible in the corresponding general linear group. A special case is proved using some…

In the representation theory of finite groups, Brou\'e's abelian defect group conjecture says that for any prime p if a p-block A of a finite group G has an abelian defect group P, then A and its Brauer corresponding block B of the…

In representation theory of finite groups, there is a well-known and important conjecture due to M. Brou\'e. He conjectures that, for any prime $p$, if a $p$-block $A$ of a finite group $G$ has an abelian defect group $P$, then $A$ and its…

We extend the notion of a commuting poset for a finite group to p-blocks and fusion systems, and we generalize a result, due originally to Alperin and proved independently by Aschbacher and Segev, to commuting graphs of blocks, with a very…

We prove that the factorization of a saturated fusion system over a discrete $p$-toral group as a product of indecomposable subsystems is unique up to normal automorphisms of the fusion system and permutations of the factors. In particular,…

If G is a finite group, we have proposed new conjectures on the interaction between different primes and their corresponding Brauer principal blocks. In this paper, we give strong support to the validity of these conjectures.

The notion of formal duality in finite Abelian groups appeared recently in relation to spherical designs, tight sphere packings, and energy minimizing configurations in Euclidean spaces. For finite cyclic groups it is conjectured that there…

We study here the higher derived limits of mod $p$ cohomology on the centric orbit category of a saturated fusion system on a finite $p$-group. It is an open problem whether all such higher limits vanish. This is known in many cases,…

We investigate the group of points of the $3$-sphere modulo a prime, point out connections to other known groups and the Chebyshev polynomials, and show that there is an infinite series which converges if and only if there are finitely many…

This note proves an upper bound for the fluctuations of a second-class particle in the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process. The proof needs a lower tail estimate for the last-passage growth model associated with the exclusion…

Given a saturated fusion system $\mathcal{F}$ over a $2$-group $S$, we prove that $S$ is abelian provided any element of $S$ is $\mathcal{F}$-conjugate to an element of $Z(S)$. This generalizes a Theorem of Camina--Herzog, leading to a…

Transit surveys have revealed a significant population of compact multi-planet systems, containing several sub-Neptune-mass planets on close-in, tightly-packed orbits. These systems are thought to have formed through a final phase of giant…

In this paper, we classify all $2$-blocks for which the defect groups are abelian and the inertial quotient has prime order. As a consequence, we prove that Brou\'e's abelian defect group conjecture holds for all blocks under consideration…
