We prove that there exists a constant $k$ with the property: if $\calC$ is a conjugacy class of a finite group $G$ such that every $k$ elements of $\calC$\ generate a solvable subgroup then $\calC$ generates a solvable subgroup. In…

In this article, I introduce a group-theoretical method to prove positivity of certain linear combinations (with coefficients generally lying in $\mathbb{C}$) of exponential functions under a set of semidefinite linear constraints. The…

In 2008, Diaconis annd Isaacs introduced the notion of a supercharacter theory of a finite group in which supercharacters replace with irreducible characters and superclasses by conjugacy classes. In this paper, we introduce an algorithm…

This paper is a contribution to the study of the subgroup structure of exceptional algebraic groups over algebraically closed fields of arbitrary characteristic. Following Serre, a closed subgroup of a semisimple algebraic group $G$ is…

Let $G$ be a finite solvable group. Then $G$ always has a useful presentation, which we call a "long presentation". Using a "long presentation" of $G$, we present an inductive method of constructing the irreducible representations of $G$…

We provide a necessary and sufficient condition for a simple object in a pivotal k-category to be ambidextrous. In turn, these objects imply the existence of nontrivial trace functions in the category. These functions play an important role…

The chief aim of this paper is to describe a procedure which, given a $d$-dimensional absolutely irreducible matrix representation of a finite group over a finite field $\mathbb{E}$, produces an equivalent representation such that all…

A set of invariants for a finite group is described. These arise naturally from Frobenius' early work on the group determinant and provide an answer to a question of Brauer. Whereas it is well known that the ordinary character table of a…

Through a cascade of generalizations, we develop a theory of motivic integration which works uniformly in all non-archimedean local fields of characteristic zero, overcoming some of the difficulties related to ramification and small residue…

The proof of the inductive McKay condition has been shown to imply that the character theory above the characters of degree not divisible by $p$ of a normal subgroup is locally determined. In this note, we establish a similar result for the…

A definition is offered of the factorial characters of the general linear group, the symplectic group and the orthogonal group in an odd dimensional space. It is shown that these characters satisfy certain flagged Jacobi-Trudi identities.…

We give a Super-Rigidity theorem a la Margulis which applies for a wider class of groups. In particular it applies to subgroups which are not assumed to be lattices in the ambient group. Our proof is based on the notion of Algebraic…

Let $G$ be a complex connected reductive algebraic group and let $G_{\mathbb{R}}$ be a real form of $G$. We construct a sequence of functors $L_i\mathcal{R}$ from admissible (resp. finite-length) representations of $G$ to admissible (resp.…

It is well-known that special 2-groups can be described in terms of quadratic maps over fields of characteristic 2. In this article we develop methods to compute conjugacy classes, complex representations and characters of a real special…

Given a group $G$ with bounded torsion that acts properly on a systolic complex, we show that every solvable subgroup of $G$ is finitely generated and virtually abelian of rank at most $2$. In particular this gives a new proof of the above…

The main purpose of this paper is providing a simple method to generate the matrices of irreducible representations because it is useful to reduce the computational time of solving the eigenvalue problems. The only information we need to…

We define a notion of relative soficity for countable groups with respect to a family of groups. A group is sofic if and only if it is relative sofic with respect to the family consisting only of the trivial group. If a group is relatively…

The union of a collection of $n$ sets is generally expressed in terms of a characteristic (indicator) function that contains $2^{n}-1$ terms. In this article, a much simpler expression is found that requires the evaluation of $n$ terms…

This paper studies properties of entropy functions that are induced by groups and subgroups. We showed that many information theoretic properties of those group induced entropy functions also have corresponding group theoretic…

We survey the existing parts of a classification of finite groups generated by orthogonal transformations in a finite-dimensional Euclidean space whose fixed point subspace has codimension one or two and extend it to a complete…
