Let $G$ be a finite group and $Irr(G)$ the set of irreducible complex characters of $G$. Let $e_p(G)$ be the largest integer such that $p^{e_p(G)}$ divides $\chi(1)$ for some $\chi \in Irr(G)$. We show that $|G:\mathbf{F}(G)|_p \leq p^{k…

For a simple algebraic group $G$ over an algebraically closed field, we study products of normal subsets. For this we mark the nodes of the Dynkin diagram of $G$. We use two types of labels, a binary marking and a labeling with non-negative…

We give a stopping criterion for the enumeration of all conjugacy classes in cocompact triangle groups up to any geometric length. The enumeration is based on an encoding given by P. Dehornoy and T. Pinsky.

Let G be a finite group of order n and V an irreducible representation over the complex numbers of dimension d. For some nonnegative number e, we have n=d(d+e). If e is small, then the character of V has unusually large degree. We fix e and…

Stanley and Odlyzko proposed a method for greedily constructing sets with no 3-term arithmetic progressions. It is conjectured that there is a dichotomy between such sequences: those that have a periodic structure as the sequence satisfies…

Higher-dimensional analogs of the predictable degree property and column reducedness are defined, and it is proved that the two properties are equivalent. It is shown that every multidimensional convolutional code has, what is called, a…

We provide an example of a finite group with a conjugacy class of average size on which fewer than half of the irreducible characters are either zero or a root of unity.

A classical theorem on character degrees states that if a finite group has fewer than four character degrees, then the group is solvable. We prove a corresponding result on character values by showing that if a finite group has fewer than…

In this paper we compute the character values of highest weight representations for classical groups of types A_n, B_n, C_n, D_n and the Exceptional group G_2 at all conjugacy classes of order 2. We prove that these character values, if…

We call an irreducible character $p$-singular if $p$ divides its degree. We prove a number of equivalent conditions for a character of the symmetric group $S_n$ to be $p$-singular, involving a certain family of conjugacy classes. This…

In this paper, a class of combinatorial identities is proved. A method is used which is based on the following rule: counting elements of a given set in two ways and making equal the obtained results. This rule is known as "counting in two…

Let $G$ be a finite group of order divisible by a prime $p$. The number of $p$-regular and $p'$-regular conjugacy classes of $G$ is at least $2\sqrt{p-1}$. Also, the number of $p$-rational and $p'$-rational irreducible characters of $G$ is…

Strongly refining results by Regev, Regev and Zeilberger, we prove surprising coincidences between characters to 2-part partitions of size n and characters to hooks of size n+2 on two related families obtained by extending 2-regular…

The asymptotic probability theory of conjugacy classes of the finite general linear and unitary groups leads to a probability measure on the set of all partitions of natural numbers. A simple method of understanding these measures in terms…

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…

A family of polynomials parameterized by the conjugacy classes of a finite Coxeter group is investigated. These polynomials, together with the character table of the group, determine the associated generic degrees. The polynomials are…

The number of conjugate classes of derangements of order $n$ is the same as the number $h(n)$ of the restricted partitions with every portion greater than $1$. It is also equal to the number of isotopy classes of $2\times n$ Latin…

Let $H$ be an extension of a finite group $Q$ by a finite group $G$. Inspired by the results of duality theorems for \'etale gerbes on orbifolds, we describe the number of conjugacy classes of $H$ that maps to the same conjugacy class of…

Let $G$ be a finite almost simple group of Lie type acting faithfully and primitively on a set $\Omega$. We prove an analogue of the Boston--Shalev conjecture for conjugacy classes: the proportion of conjugacy classes of $G$ consisting of…

We obtain formulae for the numbers of isomorphism and conjugacy classes of non-identity proper subgroups of the groups $G={\rm PSL}_2(p)$, $p$ prime, and for the numbers of those conjugacy classes which do or do not consist of…
