The paper relates character value of an irreducible representation of a compact connected Lie group at certain elements of finite order with the dimension of a representation on another group, up to some precise constants, which all have…

In this work, we generalize the notion of character for 2-representations of finite 2-groups. The properties of 2-characters bear strong similarities to those classical characters of finite groups, including conjugation invariance,…

The concept of "table algebra" was introduced by Z Arad anf H. Blau in order to study in a uniform way properties of products of conjugacy classes and of irreducible characters of a finite group, Except for certain cases which remain open,…

Let G be a finite group with Sylow p-subgroup P. We show that the character table of G determines whether P has maximal nilpotency class and whether P is a minimal non-abelian group. The latter result is obtained from a precise…

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…

We develop a new method to solve the irreducible character problem for a wide class of modules over the general linear superalgebra, including all the finite-dimensional modules, by directly relating the problem to the classical…

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.

We study links between first-order formulas and arbitrary properties for families of theories, classes of structures and their isomorphism types. Possibilities for ranks and degrees for formulas and theories with respect to given properties…

Recent work has shown that the study of supercharacters on abelian groups provides a natural framework within which to study certain exponential sums of interest in number theory. Our aim here is to initiate the study of Gaussian periods…

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…

The Alperin--McKay conjecture relates irreducible characters of a block of an arbitrary finite group to those of its $p$-local subgroups. A refinement of this conjecture was stated by the author in a previous paper. We prove that this…

In this paper we consider finite groups G satisfying the following condition: G has two columns in its character table which differ by exactly one entry. It turns out that such groups exist and they are exactly the finite groups with a…

A finite group $G$ is $normally ~monomial$ if all its irreducible characters are induced from linear characters of normal subgroups of $G$. In this paper, we determine all possible irreducible character degree sets of normally monomial…

Sequence theories are an extension of theories of strings with an infinite alphabet of letters, together with a corresponding alphabet theory (e.g. linear integer arithmetic). Sequences are natural abstractions of extendable arrays, which…

We present an explicit formula for subregular characters (i.e, irreducible finite-dimensional complex characters of submaximal degree) of the unitriangular group over a finite field of sufficiently large characteristic.

We present a new criterion to predict if a character of a finite group extends. Let $G$ be a finite group and $p$ a prime. For $N\lhd G$, we consider $p$-blocks $b$ and $b'$ of $N$ and ${\rm N}_N(D)$, respectively, with $(b')^N=b$, where…

Let $p$ be a prime. For $p=2$, the fields of values of the complex irreducible characters of finite groups whose degrees are not divisible by $p$ have been classified; for odd primes $p$, a conjectural classification has been proposed. In…

We study properties that allow first-order theories to be disjointly combined, including stable infiniteness, shininess, strong politeness, and gentleness. Specifically, we describe a Galois connection between sets of decidable theories,…

A parametrization of irreducible unitary representations associated with the regular adjoint orbits of a hyperspecial compact subgroup of a reductive group over a non-dyadic non-archimedean local filed is presented. The parametrization is…

Let J be a finite-dimensional nilpotent algebra over a finite field F_q. We formulate a procedure for analysing characters of the group 1+J. In particular, we study characters of the group $U_n (q)$ of unipotent triangular $n\times n$…
