Self-similar groups provide a rich source of groups with interesting properties; e.g., infinite torsion groups (Burnside groups) and groups with an intermediate word growth. Various self-similar groups can be described by a recursive…

We introduce and study some families of groups whose irreducible characters take values on quadratic extensions of the rationals. We focus mostly on a generalization of inverse semi-rational groups, which we call uniformly semi-rational…

Let $G$ be a special $p$-group. If $G$ is of rank two, or $G$ is of maximum rank with $|G^p|\leq p$, then we describe the complex irreducible projective representations of $G$.

We construct discrete and faithful representations into the isometry group of a hyperbolic space of the fundamental groups of acute negatively curved even-sided polygons of finite groups.

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $p$ be a prime. In this paper, we study the structure of finite groups with a large number of $p$-regular conjugacy classes or, equivalently, a large number of irreducible $p$-modular representations. We…

This paper investigates the critical group of a faithful representation of a finite group. It computes the order of the critical group in terms of the character values, and gives some restrictions on its subgroup structure. It also computes…

Several recent problems in the representation theory of finite groups require determining whether certain characters of almost simple groups belong to the principal block. Since the values of these characters are not yet known, we employ…

In this paper, we classify the finite dimensional irreducible modules for affine BMW algebra over an algebraically closed field with arbitrary characteristic.

We study groups definable in existentially closed geometric fields with commuting derivations. Our main result is that such a group can be definably embedded in a group interpretable in the underlying geometric field. Compared to earlier…

We study the degree of irreducible morphisms in any Auslander-Reiten component of a finite dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field. We give a characterization for an irreducible morphism to have finite left (or right) degree.…

We prove that certain Fuchsian triangle groups are profinitely rigid in the absolute sense, i.e. each is distinguished from all other finitely generated, residually finite groups by its set of finite quotients. We also develop a method…

We investigate the structure of finite groups whose non-central real class sizes have the same $2$-part. In particular, we prove that such groups are solvable and have $2$-length one. As a consequence, we show that a finite group is…

Which groups can occur as the group of units in a ring? Such groups are called realizable. Though the realizable members of several classes of groups have been determined (e.g., cyclic, odd order, alternating, symmetric, finite simple,…

We classify the finite groups $G$ which satisfies the condition that every complex irreducible character,whose degree's square doesn't divide the index of its kernel in $G$, lies in the same Galois conjugacy class.

The representation dimension of a finite group $G$ is the minimal dimension of a faithful complex linear representation of $G$. We prove that the representation dimension of any finite group $G$ is at most $\sqrt{|G|}$ except if $G$ is a…

We study infinite groups interpretable in three families of valued fields: $V$-minimal, power bounded $T$-convex, and $p$-adically closed fields. We show that every such group $G$ has unbounded exponent and that if $G$ is dp-minimal then it…

We obtain a description of the irreducible representation algebra of the alternating group of degree four over the ring of 2-adic integers.

We present two uncountable families of finitely generated residually finite groups all having the same profinite completion. One consists of soluble groups, the other of branch groups.

We define basic notions in the category of conic representations of a topological group and prove elementary facts about them. We show that a conic representation determines an ordinary dynamical system of the group together with a…

We determine the smallest irreducible Brauer characters for finite quasi-simple orthogonal type groups in non-defining characteristic. Under some restrictions on the characteristic we also prove a gap result showing that the next larger…
