The supercharacter theory is constructed for the parabolic subgroups of $\mathrm{GL}(n,\Fq)$ with blocks of orders less or equal to two. The author formulated the hypotheses on construction of a supercharacter theory for an arbitrary…
The set of supercharacter theories of a fixed group $G$ forms a natural lattice. An open question in the study of supercharacter theories is to classify this lattice, and to date, this has only been done for the cyclic groups…
It is well-known that the representation theory of the finite group of unipotent upper-triangular matrices $U_n$ over a finite field is a wild problem. By instead considering approximately irreducible representations (supercharacters), one…
Diaconis and Isaacs have defined the supercharacter theories of a finite group to be certain approximations to the ordinary character theory of the group. We make explicit the connection between supercharacter theories and Schur rings, and…
It is well-known that the representation theory of the finite group of unipotent upper-triangular matrices $U_n$ over a finite field is a wild problem. By instead considering approximately irreducible representations (supercharacters), one…
There are two main constructions of supercharacter theories for a group $ G $. The first, defined by Diaconis and Isaacs, comes from the action of a group $A$ via automorphisms on our given group $G$. The second, defined by Hendrickson, is…
We construct two supercharacter theories (in the sense of P. Diaconis and I.M. Isaacs) for the parabolic subgroups in orthogonal and symplectic groups. For each supercharacter theory, we obtain a supercharacter analog of the A.A.Kirillov…
The theory of supercharacters, recently developed by Diaconis-Isaacs and Andre, can be used to derive the fundamental algebraic properties of Ramanujan sums. This machinery frequently yields one-line proofs of difficult identities and…
Ferdinand Georg Frobenius is generally considered the creator of character theory of finite groups. This achievement came from the study of the group determinant, which is the determinant of a matrix coming from the regular representation.…
We construct a supercharacter theory, and establish the supercharacter table for Sylow $p$-subgroups $G_2^{syl}(q)$ of the Chevalley groups $G_2(q)$ of Lie type $G_2$ when $p>2$. Then we calculate the conjugacy classes, determine the…
We consider the lattice of supercharacter theories, in the sense of Diaconis and Isaacs, of the cyclic group of order n. We find necessary and sufficient conditions on n for that lattice to be upper or lower semimodular.
Various algebraic properties of Heilbronn's exponential sum can be deduced through the use of supercharacter theory, a novel extension of classical character theory due to Diaconis-Isaacs and Andre. This perspective yields a variety of…
We define super-Cayley graphs over a finite abelian group $G$. Using the theory of supercharacters on $G$, we explain how their spectra can be realized as a super-Fourier transform of a superclass characteristic function. Consequently, we…
We define and study supercharacters of the classical finite unipotent groups of symplectic and orthogonal types (over any finite field of odd characteristic). We show how supercharacters for groups of those types can be obtained by…
If $\mathscr{J}$ is a finite-dimensional nilpotent algebra over a finite field $\Bbbk$, the algebra group $P = 1+\mathscr{J}$ admits a (standard) supercharacter theory as defined by Diaconis and Isaacs. If $\mathscr{J}$ is endowed with an…
A super-Brauer character theory of a group $G$ and a prime $p$ is a pair consisting of a partition of the irreducible $p$-Brauer characters and a partition of the $p$-regular elements of $G$ that satisfy certain properties. We classify the…
A new type of semigroups which appears while dealing with $N=1$ superconformal symmetry in superstring theories is considered. The ideal series having unusual abstract properties is constructed. Various idealisers are introduced and…
The method of little groups describes the irreducible characters of semidirect products with abelian normal subgroups in terms of the irreducible characters of the factor groups. We modify this method to construct supercharacter theories of…
Column closed pattern subgroups $U$ of the finite upper unitriangular groups $U_n(q)$ are defined as sets of matrices in $U_n(q)$ having zeros in a prescribed set of columns besides the diagonal ones. We explain Jedlitschky's construction…
Applying the embedding of $A_{n-1}$ in $B_n$, $C_n$ and $D_n$ we construct a new supercharacter theory for the Sylow subgroups in orthogonal and symplectic groups over a finite field. The constructed supercharacter appears to be a little…
