Upper and Lower Bounds of Table Sums

For a group G,we produce upper and lower bounds for the sum of the entries of the Brauer character table of G and the projective indecomposable character table of G.When G is a π-separable group,we show that the sum of the entries in the table of Isaacs' partial characters is a real number,and we obtain upper and lower bounds for this sum.     

Rational Brauer characters

It is known that every finite group of even order has a non-trivial complex irreducible character which is rational valued. We prove the modular version of this result: If p is an odd prime and G is any finite group of even order, then G has a non-trivial irreducible p-Brauer character which is rational valued.

On the Modular Version of the Gluck-Wolf Theorem

Let N be a normal subgroup of a finite group G. Let ϕ be an irreducible Brauer character of N. Assume π is a set of primes and χ(1)/ϕ(1) is a π′-number of any χ∈IBr _p (G/ϕ). If p∤|G:N|, and N is p-solvable, then G/N has an abelian-by-metabelian Hall-π subgroup; If p∉π then G/N has a metabelian Hall-π subgroup. Received February 22, 2000, Accepted May 9, 2001     

Brauer Characters of Finite Monoids

We introduce the concept of a Brauer character of a representation of a finite monoid M in characteristic p>0. When p does not divide the order of any subgroup of M, we develop a theory of p-monoid quivers. We apply our results to the full transformation semigroup.     

关于GL(3,2)的两个反例

指出GL(3,2)的两个不共轭的{2,3}-Hall子群都和S_4同构.由此,进一步给出两个不同构的S_4-模提供相同2-Brauer特征标的例子.     

Zeros of Brauer characters

The authors obtain a sufficient condition to determine whether an element is a vanishing regular element of some Brauer character. More precisely, let G be a finite group and p be a fixed prime, and H = G′ O^p′ (G); if g ∈ G⁰ - H⁰ with o(gH) coprime to the number of irreducible p-Brauer characters of G, then there always exists a nonlinear irreducible p-Brauer character which vanishes on g. The authors also showin this note that the sums of certain irreducible p-Brauer characters take the value zero on every element of G⁰ - H⁰.     

Real Brauer characters

In this paper, we determine the structure of finite groups with a small number of real-valued irreducible Brauer characters.     

Cartan矩阵的分解和Brauer特征标次数猜想

设G为有限群,N是G的正规子群.记J=J(F[N])为F[N]的Jacobson根,I=Ann(J)={α∈F[G]|Jα=0}为J在F[G]中的零化子.本文主要研究了,根据F[G/N]和F[G]/I的Cartan矩阵,分解F[G]的Cartan矩阵.这种分解在Cartan不变量和G的合成因子之间建立了一些联系.本文指出N中p-亏零块的存在性依赖于Cartan不变量或者I在F[G]中的性质,证明了Cartan矩阵的分解部分地依赖于B所覆盖的N中的块的性质.本文研究了b为N上的块且l(b)=1时,覆盖b的G中的块B的性质.在两类情形下,本文证明了块代数上关于Brauer特征标次数的猜想成立,涵盖了Holm和Willems研究的某些情形.进而对Holm和Willems提出的问题给出了肯定的回答.另外,本文还给出了Cartan不变量的一些其它结果.     

关于Brauer特征标扩张的一点注记

研究有限群特征标可扩张的情况是有限群表示论领域中一个有意义的问题.设G为有限群,用Irr（G）表示G的所有不可约复特征标构成的集合.设N（？）G,θ∈Irr（N）且θ是G-不变.如果（｜G/N｜,o（θ）θ（1））=1,则[1]中的推论8.16说明了此时υ到G有唯一的扩张χ,且o（χ）=o（θ）.此结论启发了我们可以从特征标的行列式阶的角度来思考特征标扩张的情形.本文将利用有限群Brauer特征标的行列式阶,着重考虑Brauer特征标的可扩张情形.另外我们也得到了一个关于Brauer特征标次数的结论.     

Irreducible representations of general group algebras and their applications

In this paper we obtain some properties of irreducible representations of general group algebras, then as applications, we extend Gluck-Wolf Theorem for ordinary characters to the case of Brauer characters; we investigate the relations between the degree of an indecomposable module and that of its source.     

Vertices of π-Irreducible Characters of Groups of Odd Order

If G is a group of odd order and χ ∈ Irr(G) lifts an irreducible Brauer character ?, then we associate to χ a canonical pair (Q, δ) up to G-conjugacy, where Q is a vertex of ? and δ ∈ Irr(Q) is a linear character of Q. We show that (Q, δ) is a Navarro vertex for χ. We also discuss examples.     

Unipotent Brauer Character Values of GL(n, \mathbb{F}_q ) and the Forgotten Basis of the Hall Algebra

We give a formula for the values of irreducible unipotent p-modular Brauer characters of at unipotent elements, where p is a prime not dividing q, in terms of (unknown!) weight multiplicities of quantum GL _n and certain generic polynomials S _,(q). These polynomials arise as entries of the transition matrix between the renormalized Hall-Littlewood symmetric functions and the forgotten symmetric functions. We also provide an alternative combinatorial algorithm working in the Hall algebra for computing S _,(q).
