In 2005 Wolfgang Willems put forward a conjecture proposing a lower bound for the sum of squares of the degrees of the irreducible $p$-Brauer characters of a finite group $G$. We prove this conjecture for the prime $p=2$. For this we rely…

In this paper, we prove Lusztig's conjecture for finite special linear groups, i.e., we show that characteristic functions of character sheaves coincide with almost characters up to scalar constants, under the condition that 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…

Let $p$ be a prime and $G$ a finite group. We propose a strong bound for the number of $p'$-degree irreducible characters of $G$ in terms of the commutator factor group of a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G$. The bound arises from a recent…

In a recent paper, Gabriel Navarro and Pham Huu Tiep show that the so-called Alperin Weight Conjecture can be verified via the Classification of the Finite Simple Groups, provided any simple group fulfills a very precise list of conditions.…

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 $p$ be a prime. For $p=2$, the fields of values of the complex irreducible characters of finite groups whose degrees are not divisible by $p$ have been classified; for odd primes $p$, a conjectural classification has been proposed. In…

The Alperin weight conjecture has been reduced to simple groups by Navarro and Tiep. In this paper, we investigate the Navarro Alperin weight conjecture, which includes Galois automorphisms and group automorphisms in comparison with the…

We formulate and analyze several finiteness conjectures for linear algebraic groups over higher-dimensional fields. In fact, we prove all of these conjectures for algebraic tori as well as in some other situations. This work relies in an…

A character of a finite group having degree $n$ takes values which may be expressed as sums of $n$ or fewer roots of unity. In this note, we prove a result which describes the irreducible constituents of generalized characters on abelian…

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 study the relationship between the existence of Hall $\pi$-subgroups and that of irreducible characters of $\pi'$-degree with prescribed fields of values in finite groups. This work extends a result of Navarro and Tiep from a single odd…

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…

A new conjecture on characters of finite groups, related to the McKay conjecture, was proposed recently by the first and third authors. In this paper, we prove it for $p$-solvable groups when $p$ is odd.

We obtain nontrivial bounds for character sums with multiplicative and additive characters over finite fields over elements with restricted coordinate expansion. In particular, we obtain a nontrivial estimate for such a sum over a finite…

In 1961, Solomon gave upper and lower bounds for the sum of all the entries in the character table of a finite group in terms of elementary properties of the group. In a different direction, we consider the ratio of the character table sum…

Recently, G. Navarro introduced a new conjecture that unifies the Alperin Weight Conjecture and the Glauberman correspondence into a single statement. In this paper, we reduce this problem to simple groups and prove it for several classes…

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,…

A method to construct irreducible unitary representations of a hyperspecial compact subgroup of a reductive group over p-adic field with odd p is presented. Our method is based upon Cliffods theory and Weil representations over finite…

Recently, a new conjecture on the degrees of the irreducible Brauer characters of a finite group was presented by the second author. In this paper we propose a 'local' version of this conjecture for blocks B of finite groups, giving a lower…
