We prove the linkage principle and describe blocks of the general linear supergroups $GL(m|n)$ over the ground field $K$ of characteristic $p\neq 2$.

We determine the blocks of the periplectic Brauer algebra over any field of odd characteristic.

We provide a linkage principle in an arbitrary parabolic category $\mathcal O^{\mathfrak p}$ for the periplectic Lie superalgebras $\mathfrak{pe}(n)$. As an application, we classify indecomposable blocks in $\mathcal O^{\mathfrak p}$. We…

Let K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>0 and let Sp(2m) be the symplectic group of rank m over K. The main theorem of this article gives the character of the rational simple Sp(2m)-modules with fundamental highest weight…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $k$ a field of prime characteristic $p$. We examine the Lefschetz homomorphism $\Lambda: \mathcal{E}_k(G) \to O(T(kG))$ from the group of endotrivial complexes, i.e. the Picard group of the bounded homotopy…

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $F$ be a finite field of characteristic $2$. We introduce \emph{$F$-special subgroups} and \emph{$F$-special elements} of $G$. In the case where $F$ contains a $p$th primitive root of unity for each odd…

Let $G$ be a finite group of odd order, $\F$ a finite field of odd characteristic $p$ and $\B$ a finite--dimensional symplectic $\F G$-module. We show that $\B$ is $\F G$-hyperbolic, i.e., it contains a self--perpendicular $\F G$-submodule,…

We study the representation theory of the symmetric group $S_n$ in positive characteristic $p$. Using features of the LLT-algorithm we give a conjectural description of the projective cover $P(\lambda)$ of the simple module $D(\lambda)$…

We systematically classify all possible poles of superconformal blocks as a function of the scaling dimension of intermediate operators, for all superconformal algebras in dimensions three and higher. This is done by working out the…

We give upper bounds on the essential dimension of (quasi-)simple algebraic groups over an algebraically closed field that hold in all characteristics. The results depend on showing that certain representations are generically free. In…

We study the existence of unitriangular basic sets for the symmetric group which behave nicely with respect to the Mullineux involution. Such sets give a natural labelling for the modular irreducible representations. We show that, for any…

The decomposition matrix of a finite group in prime characteristic p records the multiplicities of its p-modular irreducible representations as composition factors of the reductions modulo p of its irreducible representations in…

We provide a natural characterisation for the sets of elliptic and hyperbolic hyperplanes of the parabolic quadric Q(2n,q) when q is even. This characterisation is based on the number of elements of these sets through points and codimension…

Over a p-adic field of odd residual characteristic, Gan and Savin proved a correspondence between the Bernstein components of the even and odd Weil representations of the metaplectic group and the components of the trivial representation of…

We prove that regular supercuspidal representations of $p$-adic groups are uniquely determined by their character values on very regular elements -- a special class of regular semisimple elements on which character formulae are very simple…

Let F be a non-Archimedean locally compact field of residue characteristic p, let G be an inner form of GL(n,F) with n>0, and let l be a prime number different from p. We describe the block decomposition of the category of finite length…

It is shown that two vectors with coordinates in the finite $q$-element field of characteristic $p$ belong to the same orbit under the natural action of the symmetric group if each of the elementary symmetric polynomials of degree…

We utilize an isomorphism between the character rings of the odd orthogonal group and the orthosymplectic supergroup to understand equivariant positivity properties of the type B quadric hypersurface ring. Our main result establishes a…
