As a step to establish the McKay conjecture on character degrees of finite groups, we verify the inductive McKay condition introduced by Isaacs-Malle-Navarro for simple groups of Lie type $A_{n-1}$, split or twisted. Key to the proofs is…
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…
The structure of groups for which certain sets of commutator subgroups are finite is investigated, with a particular focus on the relationship between these groups and those with finite derived subgroup.
We give a complete list of indecomposable characters of the infinite symmetric semigroup. In comparison with the analogous list for the infinite symmetric group, one should introduce only one new parameter, which has a clear combinatorial…
We will describe the relationship between the indecomposable characters of the finitary symmetric group and its ergodic invariant random subgroups; and we will interpret each Thoma character as an asymptotic limit of a naturally associated…
This paper is a contribution to the general program introduced by Isaacs, Malle and Navarro to prove the McKay conjecture in the representation theory of finite groups. We develop new methods for dealing with simple groups of Lie type in…
We address some conjectures and open problems in "analysis of symmetries" which include the study of non-commutative harmonic analysis and discontinuous groups for reductive homogeneous spaces beyond the classical framework: (1) discrete…
We prove a factorization-concentration result for characters of symmetric groups. This is then applied to the asymptotic behaviour of the decomposition of the tensor representations. There are connections with the Pastur-Marcenko…
We formulate a conjecture on the motivic McKay correspondence for the group scheme $ \alpha_{p}$ in characteristic $p>0$ and give a few evidences. The conjecture especially claims that there would be a close relation between quotient…
In this note a combinatorial formula related to the symmetric group is generalized to an arbitrary finite Weyl group.
In math.CO/0109093 the author obtained a formula for the value of an irreducible symmetric group character indexed by a partition of rectangular shape. In the present paper this formula is (conjecturally) generalized to arbitrary shapes.
We formulate and prove relative versions of several classical decompositions known in the theory of Chevalley groups over commutative rings. As an application we obtain upper estimates for the width of principal congruence subgroups in…
We give a new approach to the construction of derived equivalences between blocks of finite groups, based on perverse equivalences, in the setting of Brou\'e's conjecture. We provide in particular local and global perversity data describing…
In this paper we establish some subnormal embeddings of groups into groups with additional properties; in particular embeddings of countable groups into 2-generated groups with some extra properties. The results obtained are generalizations…
We establish a McKay correspondence for finite and linearly reductive subgroup schemes of $\mathrm{SL}_2$ in positive characteristic. As an application, we obtain a McKay correspondence for all rational double point singularities in…
This paper reviews recent results and open problems on the conductor of finite group characters, highlighting their connections to one another and to broader topics in the representation theory of finite groups.
In this paper we examine various properties/constructions which are known for reductive groups and we do some experiments to see to what extent they generalize to symmetric spaces.
Sp\"ath showed that the Alperin-McKay conjecture in the representation theory of finite groups holds if the so-called inductive Alperin-McKay condition holds for all finite simple groups. In a previous article, we showed that the…
A special type of conjugacy classes in symmetric groups is studied and used to answer a question about odd-degree irreducible characters
The so-called "local-global" conjectures in the representation theory of finite groups relate the representation theory of $G$ to that of certain proper subgroups, such as the normalizers of particular $p$-groups. Recent results by several…
