In 2007, J. P. Cossey conjectured that if $G$ is a finite $p$-solvable group and $\varphi$ is an irreducible Brauer character of $G$ with vertex $Q$, then the number of lifts of $\varphi$ is at most $|Q:Q'|$. In this paper we revisited…

Let $p$ be an odd prime, and suppose that $G$ is a $p$-solvable group and $\varphi\in {\rm IBr}(G)$ has vertex $Q$. In 2011, Cossey, Lewis and Navarro proved that the number of lifts of $\varphi$ is at most $|Q:Q'|$ whenever $Q$ is normal…

Navarro defined the set ${Irr}(G \mid Q, \delta) \subseteq {Irr}(G)$, where $Q$ is a $p$-subgroup of a $p$-solvable group $G$, and shows that if $\delta$ is the trivial character of $Q$, then ${Irr}(G \mid Q, \delta)$ provides a set of…

Suppose $G$ is a $p$-solvable group, where $p$ is odd. We explore the connection between lifts of Brauer characters of $G$ and certain local objects in $G$, called vertex pairs. We show that if $\chi$ is a lift, then the vertex pairs of…

In this paper we examine the behavior of lifts of Brauer characters in p-solvable groups where p is an odd prime. In the main result, we show that if \phi \in IBrp(G) is a Brauer character of a solvable group such that \phi has an abelian…

Let $G$ be a finite $\pi$-separable group, where $\pi$ is a set of primes, and let $\chi$ be an irreducible complex character that is a $\pi$-lift of some $\pi$-partial character of $G$.It was proved by Cossey and Lewis that all of the…

Let $Q$ be a $p$-subgroup of a finite $p$-solvable group $G$, where $p$ is a prime, and suppose that $\delta$ is a linear character of $Q$ with the property that $\delta(x)=\delta(y)$ whenever $x,y\in Q$ are conjugate in $G$. In this…

Let $G$ be a solvable group. Let $p$ be a prime and let $Q$ be a $p$-subgroup of a subgroup $V$. Suppose $\phi \in \ibr G$. If either $|G|$ is odd or $p = 2$, we prove that the number of Brauer characters of $H$ inducing $\phi$ with vertex…

In this paper, we consider lifts of $\pi$-partial characters with the property that the irreducible constituents of their restrictions to certain normal subgroups are also lifts. We will show that such a lift must be induced from what we…

The Fong-Swan theorem shows that for a $p$-solvable group $G$ and Brauer character $\phi \in \ibrg$, there is an ordinary character $\chi \in \irrg$ such that $\chi^0 = \phi$, where $^0$ denotes restriction to the $p$-regular elements of…

Suppose that $B$ is a Brauer $p$-block of a finite group $G$ with a unique modular character $\varphi$. We prove that $\varphi$ is liftable to an ordinary character of $G$ (which moreover is $p$-rational for odd $p$). This confirms the…

Let $B$ be a $p$-block of a finite group $G$ with defect group $D$. The more difficult direction of the recently proven height zero conjecture says that $D$ is abelian if every character in Irr$(B)$ has height zero. We consider a smaller…

If $G$ is a solvable group and $p$ is a prime, then the Fong-Swan theorem shows that given any irreducible Brauer character $\phi$ of $G$, there exists a character $\chi \in \irrg$ such that $\chi^o = \phi$, where $^o$ denotes the…

We prove Clifford theoretic results on the representations of finite groups which only hold in characteristic $2$. Let $G$ be a finite group, let $N$ be a normal subgroup of $G$ and let $\varphi$ be an irreducible $2$-Brauer character of…

Let G be a p-solvable group, P a p-subgroup and chi in Irr(G) such that chi(1)_p \ge |G:P|_p. We prove that the restriction chi_P is a sum of characters induced from subgroups Q\le P such that chi(1)_p=|G:Q|_p. This generalizes previous…

The longstanding Alperin weight conjecture and its blockwise version have been reduced to simple groups recently by Navarro, Tiep, Spaeth and Koshitani. Thus, to prove this conjecture, it suffices to verify the corresponding inductive…

In 2005 Wolfgang Willems put forward a conjecture proposing a lower bound for the sum of squares of the degrees of the irreducible $p$-Brauer characters of a finite group $G$. We prove this conjecture for the prime $p=2$. For this we rely…

Let k(B_0) and l(B_0) respectively denote the number of ordinary and p-Brauer irreducible characters in the principal block B_0 of a finite group G. We prove that, if k(B_0)-l(B_0)=1, then l(B_0)\geq p-1 or else p=11 and l(B_0)=9. This…

Given a prime number $p$, every irreducible character $\chi$ of a finite group $G$ determines a unique conjugacy class of $p$-subgroups of $G$ which we will call the anchors of $\chi$. This invariant has been considered by L. Barker in the…

Let $G$ be a finite group with Sylow $2$-subgroup $P \leqslant G$. Navarro-Tiep-Vallejo have conjectured that the principal $2$-block of $N_G(P)$ contains exactly one irreducible Brauer character if and only if all odd-degree ordinary…
