Let $E$ be a elementary abelian $p$-group of order $q=p^n$. Let $W$ be a faithful indecomposable representation of $E$ with dimension 2 over a field $k$ of characteristic $p$, and let $V= S^m(W)$ with $m<q$. We prove that the rings of…

The Weil representation of the symplectic group associated to a finite abelian group of odd order is shown to have a multiplicity-free decomposition. When the abelian group is p-primary, the irreducible representations occurring in the Weil…

Let $p>0$ be a prime, $G$ be a finite $p$-group and $\Bbbk$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$. Dave Benson has conjectured that if $p=2$ and $V$ is an odd-dimensional indecomposable representation of $G$ then all…

For a prime number p, we construct a generating set for the ring of invariants for the p+1 dimensional indecomposable modular representation of a cyclic group of order p^2. We then use the constructed invariants to describe the…

Let $\mathbb{F}_p$ be the prime field of order $p>0$ and $G$ be an elementary abelian $p$-group.For some $n$-dimensional cohyperplane $G$-representations $V$ over $\mathbb{F}_p$, we show that $\mathbb{F}_p[V\oplus V^*]^G$, the invariant…

Let $p$ be prime, and $n,m \in \mathbb{N}$. When $K/F$ is a cyclic extension of degree $p^n$, we determine the $\mathbb{Z}/p^m\mathbb{Z}[\text{Gal}(K/F)]$-module structure of $K^\times/K^{\times p^m}$. With at most one exception, each…

In this article, we study rational matrix representations of VZ $p$-groups ($p$ is any prime). Utilizing our findings on VZ $p$-groups, we explicitly obtain all inequivalent irreducible rational matrix representations of all $p$-groups of…

We obtain a decomposition formula of a representation of Sp(p,q) and SO^\ast(2n) unitarily induced from a derived functor module, which enables us to reduce the problem of irreducible decompositions to the study of derived functor modules.…

The power classes of a field are well-known for their ability to parameterize elementary $p$-abelian Galois extensions. These classical objects have recently been reexamined through the lens of their Galois module structure. Module…

Let p be a prime and suppose that K/F is a cyclic extension of degree p^n with group G. Let J be the F_pG-module K^*/K^{*p} of pth-power classes. In our previous paper we established precise conditions for J to contain an indecomposable…

Let $p<q$ be odd primes, $\rho_1$ and $\rho_2$ be irreducible representations of $\text{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z}_p)$ and $\text{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z}_q)$ of dimensions $\frac{p+1}{2}$ and $\frac{q+1}{2}$, respectively. We show that if…

We say that an abelian variety $A_{/\mathbf Q}$ of dimension $g$ is {\em prosaic} if it is semistable, with good reduction at 2 and its points of order $2$ generate a $2$-extension of ${\mathbf Q}$. For $p \equiv 1 \bmod{8}$, let $M_u$ be…

We study the structure of certain modules $V$ over linear spaces $W$ with restrictions neither on the dimensions nor on the base field $\mathbb F$. A basis $\mathfrak B = \{v_i\}_{i\in I}$ of $V$ is called multiplicative respect to the…

Let $F$ be any field of characteristic $p$. It is well-known that there are exactly $p$ inequivalent indecomposable representations $V_1,V_2,...,V_p$ of $C_p$ defined over $F$. Thus if $V$ is any finite dimensional $C_p$-representation…

Let $p$ be a prime and $F$ be a finite field of characteristic $p$. Suppose that $FG$ is the group algebra of the finite $p$-group $G$ over the field $F$. Let $V(FG)$ denote the group of normalized units in $FG$ and let $V_*(FG)$ denote the…

Let $q$ be a power of a prime $p$, $G$ be a finite abelian group, where $p$ does not divide $|G|$,and let $n$ be a positive integer. In this paper we find a formula for the number of irreducible representations of $G$ of a given dimension…

The decomposition matrix of a finite group in prime characteristic p records the multiplicities of its p-modular irreducible representations as composition factors of the reductions modulo p of its irreducible representations in…

We construct classes of von Neumann algebra modules by considering ``column sums" of noncommutative L^p spaces. Our abstract characterization is based on an L^{p/2}-valued inner product, thereby generalizing Hilbert C*-modules and…
