Abstract:
The representation theory of infinite wreath product groups is developed by means of the relationship between their group algebras and conjugacy classes with those of the infinite symmetric group. Further, since these groups are inductive limits of finite groups, their finite characters can be classified as limits of normalized irreducible characters of prelimit finite groups. This identification is called the “asymptotic character formula.” TheK0-invariant of the groupC∗-algebra is also determined.

Abstract:
AbstractThere is a deeper structure to the ordinary character theory of finite solvable groups than might at first be apparent. Mauch of this structure, which has no analog for general finite gruops, becomes visible onyl when the character of solvable groups are viewes from the persepective of a particular set π of prime numbers. This purely expository paper discusses the foundations of this πtheory and a few of its applications. Included are the definitions and essential properties of Gajendragadkar's π-special characters and their connections with the irreducible πpartial characters and their associated Fong characters. Included among the consequences of the theory discussed here are applications to questions about the field generated by the values of a character, about extensions of characters of subgroups and about M-groups.

Abstract Let G be a finite group, p a prime and {c\in\{0,1,\ldots,p-1\}} . Suppose that the degree of every nonlinear irreducible character of G is congruent to c modulo p. If here {c=0} , then G has a normal p-complement by a well known theorem of Thompson. We prove that in the cases where {c\neq 0} the group G is solvable with a normal abelian Sylow p-subgroup. If {p\neq 3} then this is true provided these character degrees are congruent to c or to {-c} modulo p.

Abstract:
Motivated by Problem 164 proposed by Y. Berkovich and E. Zhmud' in their book “Characters of Finite Groups”, we give a characterization of finite groups whose irreducible character codegrees are prime powers. This is based on a new kind of character graphs of finite groups associated with codegrees. Such graphs have close and obvious connections with character codegree graphs. For example, they have the same number of connected components. By analogy with the work of finite groups whose character graphs (associated with degrees) have no triangles, we conduct a result of classifying finite groups whose character graphs associated with codegrees have no triangles in the latter part of this paper.

AbstractLet G be a finite group and, for a prime p, let S be a Sylow p-subgroup of G. A character χ of G is called {\mathrm{Syl}_{p}}-regular if the restriction of χ to S is the character of the regular representation of S. If, in addition, χ vanishes at all elements of order divisible by p, χ is said to be Steinberg-like. For every finite simple group G, we determine all primes p for which G admits a Steinberg-like character, except for alternating groups in characteristic 2. Moreover, we determine all primes for which G has a projective FG-module of dimension {\lvert S\rvert}, where F is an algebraically closed field of characteristic p.

Abstract:
Let π be a set of primes and let G be a π-separable group (all groups considered are finite). Two subsets Xπ(G) and Bπ(G) of the set Irr(G) of irreducible characters of G play an important role in the character theory of π-separable groups and particularly solvable groups. If p is prime and π is the set of all other primes, then the Bπ characters of G give a natural one-to-one lift of the Brauer characters of G into Irr(G). More generally, they have been used to define Brauer characters for sets of primes.The π-special characters of G (i.e., Xπ(G)) restrict irreducibly and in a one-to-one fashion to a Hall-π-subgroup of G. If an irreducible character χ is quasi-primitive, it factors uniquely as a product of a π-special character an a π′-special character. This is a particularly useful tool in solvable groups.

Abstract:
In this paper, we extend the notion of Shintani descent to general (possibly disconnected) algebraic groups defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$. For this, it is essential to treat all the pure inner $\mathbb{F}_{q}$-rational forms of the algebraic group at the same time. We prove that the notion of almost characters (introduced by Shoji using Shintani descent) is well defined for any neutrally unipotent algebraic group, i.e. an algebraic group whose neutral connected component is a unipotent group. We also prove that these almost characters coincide with the ‘trace of Frobenius’ functions associated with Frobenius-stable character sheaves on neutrally unipotent groups. In the course of the proof, we also prove that the modular categories that arise from Boyarchenko and Drinfeld’s theory of character sheaves on neutrally unipotent groups are in fact positive integral, confirming a conjecture due to Drinfeld.

Abstract:
In his fundamental paper [1] J. L. Alperin introduced the idea of a weight in modular representation theory of finite groups G. Let p be a prime. A p-subgroup R is called a radical subgroup of G if R = Op(NG(R)). An irreducible character φ of NG(R) is called a weight character if φ is trivial on R and belongs to a p-block of defect zero of NG(R)/R. The G-conjugacy class of the pair (R, φ) is a weight of G. Let b be the p-block of NG(R) containing φ, and let B be p-block of G. A weight (R, φ) is a B-weight for the block B of G if B = bG, which means that B and b correspond under the Brauer homomorphism. Alperin's conjecture on weights asserts that the number l*(B) of B-weights of a p-block B of a finite group G equals the number l(B) of modular characters of B.

SynopsisIn this paper, the number of conjugacy classes in a finite group G is analysed in terms of the number of ordered pairs that generate it. Using this relation, we give a new elementary proof of one of A. Mann's results for finite groups, namely: |G| ≡ r(G) (mod. d|G|. δ|G|), where , prime and pi ≠ Pj for every i≠j, r(G) denotes the number of conjugacy classes of elements of G, d|G| = g.c.d. (p1 − 1, … pt − 1) and δ|G| = g.c.d. . The above congruence is obtained without using character theory. We also obtain new local congruences that slightly improve Mann's congruence.

Abstract:
AbstractThe so-called Burnside–Dixon–Schneider (BDS) method, currently used as the default method of computing character tables in GAP for groups which are not solvable, is often inefficient in dealing with groups with large centres. If $G$ is a finite group with centre $Z$ and $\lambda $ a linear character of $Z$, then we describe a method of computing the set $\mathrm{Irr} (G, \lambda )$ of irreducible characters $\chi $ of $G$ whose restriction ${\chi }_{Z} $ is a multiple of $\lambda $. This modification of the BDS method involves only $\vert \mathrm{Irr} (G, \lambda )\vert $ conjugacy classes of $G$ and so is relatively fast. A generalization of the method can be applied to computation of small sets of characters of groups with a solvable normal subgroup.Supplementary materials are available with this article.

When $G$ is a finite solvable group, we prove that $|G|$ can be bounded by a function in the number of irreducible characters with values in fields where $\mathbb{Q}$ is extended by prime power roots of unity. This gives a character theory analog for solvable groups of a theorem of Héthelyi and Külshammer that bounds the order of a finite group in terms of the number of conjugacy classes of elements of prime power order. In particular, we obtain for solvable groups a generalization of Landau’s theorem.

Let G be a finite group and H a subgroup of G.

As is well known, ℋ(G,H) is a semisimple ℂ-algebra and it is commutative if and only if (ℂH)G is multiplicity-free. In [6], by a ring theoretic method, it is shown that if the canonical involution of ℋ(G,H) is the identity then ℋ(G,H) is commutative and, if there exists an abelian subgroup A of G such that G = AH then ℋ(G,H) is commutative. In this paper, by a character theoretic method, we consider the commutativity of ℋ(G,H).

We prove that every real-valued irreducible character of GSp (2n, 𝔽q) or GO ±(2n, 𝔽q) is the character of a real representation, and we find the sum of the dimensions of the real representations of each of these groups. We also show that if G is a classical connected group defined over 𝔽q with connected center, with dimension d and rank r, then the sum of the degrees of the irreducible characters of G(𝔽q) is bounded above by (q + 1)(d+r)/2. Finally, we show that if G is any connected reductive group defined over 𝔽q, for any q, the sum of the degrees of the irreducible characters of G(𝔽q) is bounded below by q(d-r)/2(q - 1)r. We conjecture that this sum can always be bounded above by q(d-r)/2(q + 1)r.

Abstract:
We introduce the notion of Fitting characters for arbitrary finite groups, and prove that under some conditions the product of these characters is irreducible and the unique factorization of this form also holds. Moreover, we show that any nonlinear quasi-primitive character of solvable groups can be uniquely factored (up to multiplication by linear characters) as the product of certain Fitting characters on some extension groups.

AbstractLet w be a word in k variables. For a finite nilpotent group G, a conjecture of Amit states that $$N_w(1)\ge |G|^{k-1}$$ N w ( 1 ) ≥ | G | k - 1 , where for $$g\in G$$ g ∈ G , the quantity $$N_w(g)$$ N w ( g ) is the number of k-tuples $$(g_1,\ldots ,g_k)\in G^{(k)}$$ ( g 1 , … , g k ) ∈ G ( k ) such that $$w(g_1,\ldots ,g_k)={g}$$ w ( g 1 , … , g k ) = g . Currently, this conjecture is known to be true for groups of nilpotency class 2. Here we consider a generalized version of Amit’s conjecture, which states that $$N_w(g)\ge |G|^{k-1}$$ N w ( g ) ≥ | G | k - 1 for g a w-value in G, and prove that $$N_w(g)\ge |G|^{k-2}$$ N w ( g ) ≥ | G | k - 2 for finite groups G of odd order and nilpotency class 2. If w is a word in two variables, we further show that the generalized Amit conjecture holds for finite groups G of nilpotency class 2. In addition, we use character theory techniques to confirm the generalized Amit conjecture for finite p-groups (p a prime) with two distinct irreducible character degrees and a particular family of words. Finally, we discuss the related group properties of being rational and chiral, and show that every finite group of nilpotency class 2 is rational.

Abstract:
Geoffrey Robinson conjectured in 1996 that the $p$-part of character degrees in a $p$-block of a finite group can be bounded in terms of the center of a defect group of the block. We prove this conjecture for all primes $p\neq 2$ for all finite groups. Our argument relies on a reduction by Murai to the case of quasi-simple groups which are then studied using deep results on blocks of finite reductive groups.
