We compute the character tables of the following groups with character theoretic methods, using known information about the conjugacy classes and about the character tables of some subgroups and factor groups: $Th$, $J_4$, $2.{}^2E_6(2)$,…

We obtain explicit upper bounds for the number of irreducible factors for a class of compositions of polynomials in several variables over a given field. In particular, some irreducibility criteria are given for this class of compositions…

We study a spectral problem related to the finite-dimensional characters of the groups $Sp(2N)$, $SO(2N+1)$, and $SO(2N)$, which form the classical series $C$, $B$, and $D$, respectively. The irreducible characters of these three series are…

We compare two approaches to the calculation of irreducible characters of the Lie algebra gl(infinity)^ with negative integral central charge. As a consequence, we obtain a "reciprocity formula" for Clebsch-Gordan coefficients, in the limit…

In his classic book on symmetric functions, Macdonald describes a remarkable result by Green relating the character theory of the finite general linear group to transition matrices between bases of symmetric functions. This connection…

In a previous work, we have given an explicit method to obtain irreducible characters of finite Lie algebras without referring to Weyl character formula. Irreducible characters of $G_2$ Lie algebra has been given as an example. The work is…

Many results have been established that show how the number of conjugacy classes appearing in the product of classes affect the structure of a finite group. The aim of this paper is to show several results about solvability concerning the…

We develop a theory of generalized characters of local systems in $\infty$-categories, which extends classical character theory for group representations and, in particular, the induced character formula. A key aspect of our approach is…

The classification of irreducible, spherical characters of the infinite-dimensional unitary/orthogonal/symplectic groups can be obtained by finding all possible limits of normalized, irreducible characters of the corresponding…

This paper is a continuation of [GLT], which develops a level theory and establishes strong character bounds for finite simple groups of linear and unitary type in the case that the centralizer of the element has small order compared to…

From an irreducible representation of GL(n, C) there is a natural way to construct an irreducible representations of GL(n + 1, C) by adding a zero at the end of the highest weight of the irreducible representation of GL(n, C). The paper…

We classify finite non-solvable groups with a faithful primitive irreducible complex character that vanishes on a unique conjugacy class. Our results answer a question of Dixon and Rahnamai Barghi and suggest an extension of Burnside's…

We propose analogs of the classical Generalized Riemann Hypothesis and the Generalized Simplicity Conjecture for the characteristic p L-series associated to function fields over a finite field. These analogs are based on the use of absolute…

We introduced previously the generalized characteristic polynomial defined by $P_C(\lambda)={\rm det}\,C(\lambda),$ where $C(\lambda)=C+{\rm diag}\big(\lambda_1,\dots,\lambda_n\big)$ for $C\in {\rm Mat}(n,\mathbb C)$ and…

Let $U$ be the unitriangular group over a finite field. We consider an interesting class of irreducible complex characters of $U$, so-called characters of depth 2. This is a next natural step after characters of maximal and submaximal…

For every integer $k$ there exists a bound $B=B(k)$ such that if the characteristic polynomial of $g\in \operatorname{SL}_n(q)$ is the product of $\le k$ pairwise distinct monic irreducible polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_q$, then every…

Let ${\mathbb F}_q$ be a finite field of characteristic two and ${\mathbb F}_q(X_1,...,X_n)$ a rational function field. We use matrix methods to obtain explicit transcendental bases of the invariant subfields of orthogonal groups and…

We continue the study of glider representations of finite groups $G$ with given structure chain of subgroups $e \subset G_1 \subset \ldots \subset G_d = G$. We give a characterization of irreducible gliders of essential length $e \leq d$…

Let $\F_q$ be the finite field with $q$ elements, $p=\Char \F_q$. The group $\GL_2(\F_q)$ acts naturally in the set of irreducible polynomials over $\F_q$ of degree at least $2$. In this paper we are interested in the characterization and…

We develop a theory of levels for irreducible representations of symmetric groups of degree $n$ analogous to the theory of levels for finite classical groups. A key property of level is that the level of a character, provided it is not too…
