The classical characteristic map associates symmetric functions to characters of the symmetric groups. There are two natural analogues of this map involving the Brauer algebra. The first of them relies on the action of the orthogonal or…
Answering a question of P\'alfy and Pyber, we first prove the following extension of the k(GV)-Problem: Let G be a finite group and A\le Aut(G) such that (|G|,|A|)=1. Then the number of conjugacy classes of the semidirect product GA is at…
We establish a 6-term left exact sequence, involving Galois cohomology of the base field $\mathbb K$, and the Brauer-Picard groupoid of a fusion category. This generalizes a result of Etingof, Nikshych, and Ostrik to the setting where…
By algebraic group theory, there is a map from the semisimple conjugacy classes of a finite group of Lie type to the conjugacy classes of the Weyl group. Picking a semisimple class uniformly at random yields a probability measure on…
We classify Brauer graph algebras up to derived equivalence by showing that the set of derived invariants introduced by Antipov is complete. These algebras first appeared in representation theory of finite groups and can be defined for any…
This series of papers is a contribution to the program of classifying $p$-blocks of finite groups up to source algebra equivalence, starting with the case of cyclic blocks. To any $p$-block $\mathbf{B}$ of a finite group with cyclic defect…
A classical theorem due to Brauer and Witt implies that every simple component of the rational group algebra QG of a finite group G is Brauer equivalent to a cyclotomic algebra containing Q in its centre. The precise description of this…
Let $E$ be a field of absolute Brauer dimension abrd$(E)$, and $F/E$ a transcendental finitely-generated extension. This paper shows that the Brauer dimension Brd$(F)$ is infinite, if abrd$(E) = \infty $. When the absolute Brauer…
Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>0, let m,r be integers with m\ge1, r\ge0 and m\ge r and let S_0(2m,r) be the symplectic Schur algebra over k as introduced by the first author. We introduce the symplectic Schur…
Given a pair of number fields with isomorphic rings of adeles, we construct bijections between objects associated to the pair. For instance we construct an isomorphism of Brauer groups that commutes with restriction. We additionally…
A category of Brauer diagrams, analogous to Turaev's tangle category, is introduced, and a presentation of the category is given; specifically, we prove that seven relations among its four generating homomorphisms suffice to deduce all…
Given a $(0,p)$-mixed characteristic complete discrete valued field $\mathcal{K}$ we define a class of finite field extensions called \emph{pseudo-perfect} extensions such that the natural restriction map on the mod-$p$ Milnor $K$-groups is…
We introduce a new type of equivalence between blocks of finite group algebras called a strong isotypy. A strong isotypy is equivalent to a $p$-permutation equivalence and restricts to an isotypy in the sense of Brou\'{e}. To prove these…
A classic result of representation theory is Brauer's construction of a diagrammatical (geometrical) algebra whose matrix representation is a certain given matrix algebra, which is the commutating algebra of the enveloping algebra of the…
We investigate the source algebra class of a p-block with cyclic defect groups of the group algebra of a finite group. By the work of Linckelmann this class is parametrized by the Brauer tree of the block together with a sign function on…
The Gerstenhaber and Schack cohomology comparison theorem asserts that there is a cochain equivalence between the Hochschild complex of a certain algebra and the usual singular cochain complex of a space. We show that this comparison…
We discuss representations of finite groups having a common central $p$-subgroup $Z$, where $p$ is a prime number. For the principal $p$-blocks, we give a method of constructing a relative $Z$-stable equivalence of Morita type, which is a…
The aim of this paper is to investigate the birational geometry of Generalized Severi-Brauer varieties. A conjecture of Amitsur states that two Severi-Brauer varieties $V(A)$ and $V(B)$ are birational if the underlying central simple…
In this paper, by establishing an explicit and combinatorial description of the centralizer of a distinguished nilpotent pair in a classical simple Lie algebra, we solve in the classical case Panyushev's Conjecture which says that…
We develop pivotal and spherical versions of graded extension theory. We define the corresponding analogues of Brauer-Picard $2$-categorical groups and realize them as fixed points of natural $\mathbb{Z}$ and $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$…
