Let $G$ be a finite group and $p\in \pi(G)$, and let Irr$(G)$ be the set of all irreducible complex characters of $G$. Let $\chi \in {\rm Irr}(G)$, we write ${\rm cod}(\chi)=|G:{\rm ker} \chi|/\chi(1)$, and called it the codegree of the…

In this paper we study the N=4 superconformal modules obtained from the quantum Hamiltonian reduction of principal admissible representations of the affine Lie superalgebra $\hat{A}(1,1)$, and show that there exists a series of N=4…

We introduce a generalization of immanants of matrices, using partition algebra characters in place of symmetric group characters. We prove that our immanant-like function on square matrices, which we refer to as the recombinant, agrees…

In this article we exhibit new explicit families of congruences for the overpartition function, making effective the existence results given previously by Treneer. We give infinite families of congruences modulo $m$ for $m = 5, 7, 11$, and…

The power graph $\Gamma_G$ of a finite group $G$ is the graph with the vertex set $G$, where two distinct elements are adjacent if one is a power of the other. An $L(2, 1)$-labeling of a graph $\Gamma$ is an assignment of labels from…

We compute the modular transformation formula of the characters for a certain family of (finitely or uncountably many) simple modules over the simple $\mathcal{N}=2$ vertex operator superalgebra of central charge…

For a semisimple, simply-connected linear algebraic group, $G$, and parabolic subgroup, $P\subseteq G$, we use the fact that the Hilbert polynomial of the equivariant embedding of $G/P$ is equal to the Hilbert function to compute an…

Various approaches to the numerical representation of the Incomplete Gamma Function F_m(z) for complex arguments z and small integer indexes m are compared with respect to numerical fitness (accuracy and speed). We consider power series,…

We produce canonical sets of right coset representatives for the congruence subgroups $\Gamma_0(N)$, $\Gamma_1(N)$ and $\Gamma(N)$, and prove that the corresponding fundamental domains are connected. Key to our construction is a study of…

Let $G = {\rm U}(2m, {\mathbb F}_{q^2})$ be the finite unitary group, with $q$ the power of an odd prime $p$. We prove that the number of irreducible complex characters of $G$ with degree not divisible by $p$ and with Frobenius-Schur…

Let G be a p-solvable group, P a p-subgroup and chi in Irr(G) such that chi(1)_p \ge |G:P|_p. We prove that the restriction chi_P is a sum of characters induced from subgroups Q\le P such that chi(1)_p=|G:Q|_p. This generalizes previous…

The aim of this article is to study the SL(2,C)-character scheme of a finitely generated group. Given a presentation of a finitely generated group $\Gamma$, we give equations defining the coordinate ring of the scheme of SL(2,C)-characters…

The characters $\chi(\pi)$ of $S_n$ that depend only on the number of cycles of $\pi$ are completely determined.

In this paper we study the Frobenius characters of the invariant subspaces of the tensor powers of a representation V. The main result is a formula for these characters for a polynomial functor of V involving the characters for V. The main…

We call an irreducible character $p$-singular if $p$ divides its degree. We prove a number of equivalent conditions for a character of the symmetric group $S_n$ to be $p$-singular, involving a certain family of conjugacy classes. This…

We present a finite algorithm for computing the set of irreducible unitary representations of a real reductive group G. The Langlands classification, as formulated by Knapp and Zuckerman, exhibits any representation with an invariant…

Given an integer $n\geq 1$ and an irreducible character $\chi_{\lambda}$ of $S_{n}$ for some partition $\lambda$ of $n$, the immanant $\mathrm{imm}_{\lambda}:\mathbb{C}^{n\times n}\to\mathbb{C}$ maps matrices $A\in\mathbb{C}^{n\times n}$ to…

In the classic "Concrete Math", by Graham, Patashnik and Knuth, it is stated that "The numbers in Pascal's triangle satisfy, practically speaking, infinitely many identities, so it is not too surprising that we can find some surprising…

If $\Gamma$ is an irreducible non-uniform higher-rank characteristic zero arithmetic lattice (for example, $SL_n(\mathbb{Z})$, $n \geq 3$) and $\Lambda$ is a finitely generated group that is elementarily equivalent to $\Gamma$, then…

Let $G$ be a finite primitive permutation group and let $\kappa(G)$ be the number of conjugacy classes of derangements in $G$. By a classical theorem of Jordan, $\kappa(G) \geqslant 1$. In this paper we classify the groups $G$ with…
