Let G_0 be a connected unipotent algebraic group over a finite field F_q, and let G be the unipotent group over an algebraic closure F of F_q obtained from G_0 by extension of scalars. If M is a Frobenius-invariant character sheaf on G, we…

If $\mathscr{J}$ is a finite-dimensional nilpotent algebra over a finite field $\Bbbk$, the algebra group $P = 1+\mathscr{J}$ admits a (standard) supercharacter theory as defined by Diaconis and Isaacs. If $\mathscr{J}$ is endowed with an…

We show how the character tables of the groups $E_6(q)_{\text{ad}}$ and ${^2\!E}_6(q)_{\text{ad}}$ can be constructed, where $q$ is a power of~$2$. (Partial results are also obtained for any $q$ not divisible by~$3$.) This is based on…

Let $G$ be a finite group. Let $X_1(G)$ be the first column of the ordinary character table of $G.$ In this paper, we will show that if $X_1(G)=X_1(S_n),$ then $G\cong S_n.$ As a consequence, we show that $S_n$ is uniquely determined by the…

A character of a group is said to be super-monomial if every primitive character inducing it is linear. It is conjectured by Isaacs that every irreducible character of an odd $M$-group is super-monomial. We show that all non linear…

We determine the action of the automorphism group Aut$(G)$ on the set of irreducible characters Irr$(G)$ for all finite quasi-simple groups $G$. For groups of Lie type, this includes the construction of an Aut$(G)$-equivariant Jordan…

Let G be a reductive connected group over the algebraic closure of a finite field. In this paper we give the classification of character sheaves on G in categorical terms (as a categorical centre). Previously such a classification was known…

Proving a conjecture of Miller, we show that as $n$ tends to infinity almost all entries in the character table of $S_n$ are divisible by any given prime power. This extends our earlier work which treated divisibility by primes.

Let $A$ and $G$ be finite groups such that $A$ acts coprimely on $G$ by automorphisms. We provide a complete classification of a finite group $G$ in which every maximal $A$-invariant subgroup containing the normalizer of some $A$-invariant…

In this paper, we study the vanishing-off subgroups of supercharacters, and use these to determine several new characterizations of supercharacter theory products. In particular, we give a character theoretic characterization that allows us…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $N$ a normal subgroup of $G$. We determine the structure of $N$ when the graph $\Gamma_G(N)$, which is the graph associated to the conjugacy classes of $G$ contained in $N$, has no triangles and when the graph…

Let $G$ be a finite $p$-solvable group, where $p$ is an odd prime. We establish a connection between extendible irreducible characters of subgroups of $G$ that lie under monomial characters of $G$ and nilpotent subgroups of $G$. We also…

Let $N$ be normal subgroup of a finite group $G$, $p$ be a prime, $P$ be a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G$ and $\theta$ be a $P$-invariant irreducible character of $N$. Suppose that $G/N$ is a $p$-solvable group. In this note we show that,…

Let G be a finite simple group of Lie type. In this paper we study characters of G that vanish at the non-semisimple elements and whose degree is equal to the order of a maximal unipotent subgroup of G. Such characters can be viewed as a…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $\mathrm{Irr}(G)$ be the set of all complex irreducible characters of $G$. The character-graph $\Delta(G)$ associated to $G$, is a graph whose vertex set is the set of primes which divide the degrees of some…

Given a characteristic, we define a character of the Siegel modular group of level 2, the computations of their values are also obtained. By using our theorems, some key theorems of Igusa [1] can be recovered.

The article is about the representation theory of an inner form~$G$ of a general linear group over a non-archimedean local field. We introduce semisimple characters for~$G$ whose intertwining classes describe conjecturally via Local…

We describe standard forms for elements of the higher-dimensional Thompson groups $nV$ arising from gridding subdivision processes. These processes lead to standard normal form descriptions for elements in these groups, and sizes of these…

We are interested in determining the bound of the average of the degrees of the irreducible characters whose degrees are not divisible by some prime $p$ that guarantees a finite group $G$ of odd order is $p$-nilpotent. We find a bound that…

In this paper we consider finite groups G satisfying the following condition: G has two columns in its character table which differ by exactly one entry. It turns out that such groups exist and they are exactly the finite groups with a…
