In this paper, we prove Sp\"ath's Character Triple Conjecture for $p$-solvable groups. This is a conjecture proposed by Sp\"ath during the reduction process of Dade's Projective Conjecture to quasisimple groups. In addition, as suggested by…

We prove that Sp\"ath's Character Triple Conjecture holds for every finite group with respect to maximal defect characters at the prime 2. This is done by reducing the maximal defect case of the conjecture to the so-called inductive…

We generalize the theory of ordering character triples, developed by Navarro and Sp\"ath, by taking into account the action of Galois automorphisms on characters. This new technique, together with previous results of Ladisch and Turull,…

We obtain an adaptation of Dade's Conjecture and Sp\"ath's Character Triple Conjecture to unipotent characters of simple, simply connected finite reductive groups of type $\bf{A}$, $\bf{B}$ and $\bf{C}$. In particular, this gives a precise…

We prove that if all the simple groups involved in a finite group $G$ satisfy the `inductive Feit condition', then Walter Feit's conjecture from 1980 holds for $G$. In particular, this would solve Brauer's Problem 41 from 1963 in the…

We investigate a beautiful conjecture of T. Wilde on character values and element orders of finite groups. We reduce it to a statement on nearly simple groups that can be checked ``prime by prime". For these groups, we show that a strong…

Dade's conjecture predicts that if p is a prime, then the number of irreducible characters of a finite group of a given p-defect is determined by local subgroups. In this paper we replace $p$ by a set of primes pi and prove a pi-version of…

We refine the reduction theorem of the McKay Conjecture proved by Isaacs, Malle and Navarro. Assuming the inductive McKay condition, we obtain a strong version of the McKay Conjecture that gives central isomorphic character triples.

We present a new criterion to predict if a character of a finite group extends. Let $G$ be a finite group and $p$ a prime. For $N\lhd G$, we consider $p$-blocks $b$ and $b'$ of $N$ and ${\rm N}_N(D)$, respectively, with $(b')^N=b$, where…

In 2021, Navarro and Tiep proposed a conjecture on character fields of finite quasi-simple groups. We develop some theory on sums of roots of unity and use this theory to prove the conjecture for some infinite families of finite…

We prove that the approximation conjecture of Luck holds for all amenable groups in the complex group algebra case. This result was previously proved by Dodziuk, Linnell, Mathai, Schick and Yates under the assumption that the group is…

We prove that for any prime $\ell$, any finite group has as many irreducible complex characters of degree prime to $\ell$ as the normalizers of its Sylow $\ell$-subgroups. This equality was conjectured by John McKay. The conjecture was…

It is proved the the restriction of any supercharacter of a finite group of triangular type on its subgroup is a sum of supercharacters with nonnegative integer coefficients. We define superinduction and prove the analog of the Frobenius…

We discuss some new results concerning Gap Conjecture on group growth and present a reduction of it (and its *-version) to several special classes of groups. Namely we show that its validity for the classes of simple groups and residually…

The character theory of finite groups has numerous basic questions that are often already quite involved: enumerating of irreducible characters, their character formulas, point-wise product decompositions, and restriction/induction between…

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,…

This article is concerned with the relative McKay conjecture for finite reductive groups. Let G be a connected reductive group defined over the finite field F_q of characteristic p>0 with corresponding Frobenius map F. We prove that if the…

We prove a broad generalization of a theorem of W. Burnside on real characters using permutation characters. Under a necessary hypothesis, We can give some control on multiplicities (a result that needs the Classification of Finite Simple…

We verify Dade's invariant conjecture for the simple Ree groups 2F4(2^{2n+1}) for all n > 0 in the defining characteristic, i.e., in characteristic 2. This completes the proof of Dade's conjecture for the simple Ree groups 2F4(2^{2n+1}).

The weights for a finite group G with respect to a prime number p where introduced by Jon Alperin, in order to formulate his celebrated conjecture. In 1992, Everett Dade formulates a refinement of Alperin's conjecture involving ordinary…
