The point of view of these notes on the topic is to bring out the flavour that Representation Theory is an extension of the first course on Group Theory. We also emphasize the importance of the base field. These notes cover completely the…
This is an introduction to the finite groups, with focus on the groups of permutations and reflections, and more generally, on the finite groups of unitary matrices. We first discuss the basics of group theory, featuring the cyclic,…
This text is an extended version of the lecture notes for a course on representation theory of finite groups that was given by the authors during several years for graduate and postgraduate students of Novosibirsk State University and…
We survey several notions of Mackey functors and biset functors found in the literature and prove some old and new theorems comparing them. While little here will surprise the experts, we draw a conceptual and unified picture by making…
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…
This is a survey article on the theory of finite complex reflection groups. No proofs are given but numerous references are included.
In this article, we introduce the notion of representations of polyadic groups and we investigate the connection between these representations and those of retract groups and covering groups.
This expository article revolves around the question to find short presentations of finite simple groups. This subject is one of the most active research areas of group theory in recent times. We bring together several known results on…
These notes give an elementary introduction to Lie groups, Lie algebras, and their representations. Designed to be accessible to graduate students in mathematics or physics, they have a minimum of prerequisites. Topics include definitions…
Finite group theorists have established many formulas that express interesting properties of a finite group in terms of sums of characters of the group. An obstacle to applying these formulas is lack of control over the dimensions of…
Given a subgroup H of a finite group G, we begin a systematic study of the partial representations of G that restrict to global representations of H. After adapting several results from [DEP00] (which correspond to the case where H is…
Group Theory has become an invaluable tool in the physics community. Despite numerous introductory books, the subject remains challenging for beginners. Mathematica has emerged as a popular tool for research and education, offering various…
We develop the representation theory of a finite semigroup over an arbitrary commutative semiring with unit, in particular classifying the irreducible and minimal representations. The results for an arbitrary semiring are as good as the…
This is an overview article on compact Lie groups and their representations, written for the Encyclopedia of Mathematical Physics to be published by Elsevier.
Clifford theory establishes a relation between the representation theory of a finite group and its normal subgroups. In this paper, we establish the Clifford theory for the modular representations of finite groups. The proofs are based on…
We introduce L-presentations: group presentations given by a generating set, a set of relations and a set of substitution rules on the generating set producing more relations. We first study in full generality the structure of finitely…
We give a survey of recent developments in the investigation of the various local-global conjectures for representations of finite groups.
A survey of recent results about profinite groups, and results about infinite and finite groups where the theory of profinite groups plays a leading role.
The modular representation theory of finite groups has its origins in the work of Richard Brauer. In this survey article we first discuss the work being done on some outstanding conjectures in the theory. We then describe work done in the…
