We formulate a "correct" version of the Quillen conjecture on linear group homology for certain arithmetic rings and provide evidence for the new conjecture. In this way we predict that the linear group homology has a direct summand looking…

We use character theory of finite groups of Lie type to establish new results on representation varieties of Fuchsian groups, and also on probabilistic generation of groups of Lie type.

Recently Navarro proposed a strengthening of the unsolved McKay conjecture using Galois automorphisms. We prove that the Navarro conjecture holds for the alternating groups when the prime p is odd.

In this paper a new equivalence relation $\approx$ to classify the fuzzy subgroups of finite groups is introduced and studied. This generalizes the equivalence relation $\sim$ defined on the lattice of fuzzy subgroups of a finite group that…

We classify minimal transitive subsemigroups of the finitary inverse symmetric semigroup modulo the classification of minimal transitive subgroups of finite symmetric groups; and semitransitive subsemigroups of the finite inverse symmetric…

The paper investigates exterior and symmetric (co)homologies of groups. We introduce symmetric homology of groups and compute exterior and symmetric (co)homologies of some finite groups. We also compare the classical, exterior and symmetric…

The computation of the normaliser of a permutation group in the full symmetric group is an important and hard problem in computational group theory. This article reports on an algorithm that builds a descending chain of overgroups to…

In this PhD thesis we discuss methods of recognizing finite groups by the structure of normalizers of certain 3-subgroups. We explain a method for characterizing groups using character theoretic and block theoretic methods and we use these…

We apply the method of moments to prove a recent conjecture of Haikin, Zamir and Gavish (2017) concerning the distribution of the singular values of random subensembles of Paley equiangular tight frames. Our analysis applies more generally…

Groups, in which every subgroup containing some fixed primary cyclic subgroup has a complement, are investigated.

In this paper we offer some new identities associated with mock theta functions and establish new Bailey pairs related to indefinite quadratic forms. We believe our proof is instructive use of changing base of Bailey pairs, and offers new…

We extend to alternating groups $A_n$ several results about symmetric groups asserting that under various conditions on a conjugacy class, or more generally, a normal subset, $C$ of $S_n$, we have $C^2 \supseteq A_n\setminus\{1\}$

We present an overview of the theory of finite groups, with regard to their application as flavour symmetries in particle physics. In a general part, we discuss useful theorems concerning group structure, conjugacy classes, representations…

The theory of pictures between posets is known to encode much of the combinatorics of symmetric group representations and related topics such as Young diagrams and tableaux. Many reasons, com-binatorial (e.g. since semi-standard tableaux…

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…

We give new evidences to the fact that the structure of a solvable group can be controlled by irreducible monomial characters. In particular we inspect the role of monomial characters in Isaacs-Navarro-Wolf's conjecture and in Gluck's…

Let $G$ be a finite group, and $\alpha$ a nontrivial character of $G$. The McKay graph ${\mathcal M}(G,\alpha)$ has the irreducible characters of $G$ as vertices, with an edge from $\chi_1$ to $\chi_2$ if $\chi_2$ is a constituent of…

The Alperin-McKay conjecture is a longstanding open conjecture in the representation theory of finite groups. Sp\"ath showed that the Alperin-McKay conjecture holds if the so-called inductive Alperin-McKay (iAM) condition holds for all…

Block character of a finite symmetric group S(n) is a positive definite function which depends only on the number of cycles in permutation. We describe the cone of block characters by identifying its extreme rays, and find relations of the…

Let $G_{k,n}$ be a group of permutations of $kn$ objects which permutes things independently in disjoint blocks of size $k$ and then permutes the blocks. We investigate the probabilistic and/or enumerative aspects of random elements of…
