We prove a strengthening of Brauer's height zero conjecture for principal 2-blocks with Galois automorphisms. This requires a new extension of the It\^o--Michler theorem for the prime~2, again with Galois automorphisms. We close, this time…

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $p$ be a prime. In this paper, we prove a strengthened version of Brauer's height zero conjecture for the principal $p$-block of $G$ that takes the action of a certain group of Galois automorphisms into…

We prove that Brauer's Height Zero Conjecture holds for p-blocks of finite groups with metacyclic defect groups. If the defect group is nonabelian and contains a cyclic maximal subgroup, we obtain the distribution into p-conjugate and…

This paper has two main results. Firstly, we complete the parametrisation of all p-blocks of finite quasi-simple groups by finding the so-called quasi-isolated blocks of exceptional groups of Lie type for bad primes. This relies on the…

We show that Brauer's height zero conjecture holds for blocks of finite quasi-simple groups. This result is used in Navarro-Sp\"ath's reduction of this conjecture for general groups to the inductive Alperin-McKay condition for simple…

The celebrated It\^o-Michler theorem asserts that a prime $p$ does not divide the degree of any irreducible character of a finite group $G$ if and only if $G$ has a normal and abelian Sylow $p$-subgroup. The principal block case of the…

Recently, Malle and Navarro put forward a projective version of Brauer's celebrated height zero conjecture on blocks of finite groups. In this short note we show that Brauer's original conjecture implies the projective version.

We propose a projective version of the celebrated Brauer's Height Zero Conjecture on characters of finite groups and prove it, among other cases, for $p$-solvable groups as well as for (some) quasi-simple groups.

Eaton and Moret\'o proposed an extension of Brauer's famous height zero conjecture on blocks of finite groups to the case of non-abelian defect groups, which predicts the smallest non-zero height in such blocks in terms of local data. We…

The Eaton--Moret\'o conjecture extends the recently-proven Brauer height zero conjecture to blocks with non-abelian defect group, positing equality between the minimal positive heights of a block of a finite group and its defect group. Here…

Let p > 2 be prime. We state and prove (under mild hypotheses on the residual representation) a geometric refinement of the Breuil-M\'ezard conjecture for 2-dimensional mod p representations of the absolute Galois group of Qp. We also state…

We prove \emph{the other half} of Brauer's Height Zero Conjecture in the case of principal blocks.

Let $G$ be a finite group with Sylow $2$-subgroup $P \leqslant G$. Navarro-Tiep-Vallejo have conjectured that the principal $2$-block of $N_G(P)$ contains exactly one irreducible Brauer character if and only if all odd-degree ordinary…

Let $B$ be a $p$-block of a finite group $G$ with defect group $D$. The more difficult direction of the recently proven height zero conjecture says that $D$ is abelian if every character in Irr$(B)$ has height zero. We consider a smaller…

We give a new local proof of Breuil-M\'ezard conjecture for two dimensional representations of the absolute Galois group of $\mathbb{Q}_p$, when $p\ge 5$ and the representation has scalar endomorphisms.

In the 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 Brauer…

Conjecture A of \cite{EM14} predicts the equality between the smallest positive height of the irreducible characters in a $p$-block of a finite group and the smallest positive height of the irreducible characters in its defect group. Hence,…

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…

A conjecture of Amitsur states that two Severi-Brauer varieties are birationally isomorphic if and only if the underlying algebras are the same degree and generate the same cyclic subgroup of the Brauer group. It is known that generating…

We prove automorphy lifting results for certain essentially conjugate self-dual $p$-adic Galois representations $\rho$ over CM imaginary fields $F$, which satisfy in particular that $p$ splits in $F$, and that the restriction of $\rho$ on…
