Let $K/\mathbb{Q}_p$ be a finite extension whose ramification index is coprime to $p^2-p$. We study height-one commuting pairs $(f, u)$ of noninvertible and invertible formal power series defined over the ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_K$ of…

For finite p-groups P of class 2 and exponent p the following are invariants of fully refined central decompositions of P: the number of members in the decomposition, the multiset of orders of the members, and the multiset of orders of…

In this paper the authors provide a complete answer to Donkin's Tilting Module Conjecture for all rank $2$ semisimple algebraic groups and $\text{SL}_{4}(k)$ where $k$ is an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. In the…

We give a short proof of the fact that if all characteristic p simple modules of the finite group G have dimension less than p, then G has a normal Sylow p-subgroup.

Let G be a reductive group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p, and let u in G be a unipotent element of order p. Suppose that p is a good prime for G. We show in this paper that there is a homomorphism phi:SL_2/k --> G…

We introduce endo-permutation Mackey functors and the Mackey-Dade group of a $p$-group and study their basic properties. We exhibit relations between the Mackey-Dade group of a finite $p$-group $P$ and the Dade groups of the Weyl groups of…

A celebrated theorem of Lind states that a positive real number is equal to the spectral radius of some integral primitive matrix, if and only if, it is a Perron algebraic integer. Given a Perron number $p$, we prove that there is an…

Let $G$ be a one-dimensional $\ell$-subgroup of the group $\mathcal{F}(X,\mathbb{Z})$ of integer-valued functions on a set $X$. We show that $G$ is free under some hypothesis on the spectrum of $G$ and on its quotient groups at the prime…

Let $\bf T$ be the group of diagonal matrices in $SL_2(\bar{\mathbb{F}}_p)$, where $p$ is a prime number. Let $\Bbbk$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic not equal to $2$ and $p$. We classify all the irreducible…

Let $G$ be a semisimple algebraic group over a field of characteristic $p > 0$. We prove that the dual Weyl modules for $G$ all have $p$-filtrations when $p$ is not too small. Moreover, we give applications of this theorem to…

We show that finite quasisimple groups of Lie type in characteristic $p$ with an irreducible representation of prime degree $r$ over a finite field of characteristic $p$ have orders bounded above by a function of $r$, independent of $p$. We…

Let p be a prime, M be a finite group, F be the field with p elements, and V be an absolutely irreducible FM-module. Then V has a universal deformation ring R(M,V) whose structure is closely related to the first and second cohomology groups…

For $G$ an algebraic group of type $A_l$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$, we determine all irreducible rational representations of $G$ in defining characteristic with dimensions $\le (l+1)^s$ for $s = 3, 4$,…

Rings of integer-valued polynomials are known to be atomic, non-factorial rings furnishing examples for both irreducible elements for which all powers factor uniquely (\emph{absolutely irreducibles}) and irreducible elements where some…

The aim of this paper is to investigate the algebraicity behavior of reductions of $D$-finite power series modulo prime numbers. For many classes of D-finite functions, such as diagonals of multivariate algebraic series or hypergeometric…

If G is a finite group and p is a prime number, we investigate the relationship between the p-modular decomposition numbers of characters of height zero in the principal p-block of G and the p-local structure of G.

Let H be a Hopf algebra of dimension pq over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, where p, q are odd primes with p < q < 4p+12. We prove that H is semisimple and thus isomorphic to a group algebra, or the dual of a group…

We prove that any positive rational number is the sum of distinct unit fractions with denominators in $\{p-1 : p\textrm{ prime}\}$. The same conclusion holds for the set $\{p-h : p\textrm{ prime}\}$ for any $h\in\mathbb{Z}\backslash\{0\}$,…

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $K$ of characteristic $p > 0$. We consider connected reductive subgroups $X$ of $G$ that contain a given distinguished unipotent element $u$ of $G$. A result of…

We show that the functor of $p$-typical co-Witt vectors on commutative algebras over a perfect field $k$ of characteristic $p$ is defined on, and in fact only depends on, a weaker structure than that of a $k$-algebra. We call this structure…
