Abstract Similarly to the Frobenius–Schur indicator of irreducible characters, we consider higher Frobenius–Schur indicators $\nu _{p^n}(\chi ) = |G|^{-1} \sum _{g \in G} \chi (g^{p^n})$ for primes p and $n \in \mathbb {N}$ , where G is a finite group and $\chi $ is a generalised character of G. These invariants give answers to interesting questions in representation theory. In particular, we give several characterisations of groups via higher Frobenius–Schur indicators.

Let a finite group [Formula: see text] act coprimely on a finite group [Formula: see text]. The Glauberman–Isaacs correspondence [Formula: see text] is a bijection from the set of [Formula: see text]-invariant irreducible characters of [Formula: see text] onto the set [Formula: see text] of irreducible characters of the centralizer of [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text]. Let [Formula: see text] be a subgroup of [Formula: see text]. Composing from left to right, it follows that [Formula: see text] is an injection from [Formula: see text] into [Formula: see text]. We show that, in some cases, the map can be defined via the actions of some subgroups of [Formula: see text] containing [Formula: see text] on the centralizers in [Formula: see text] of some other such subgroups. We also show in many instances, such as [Formula: see text] odd or [Formula: see text] supersolvable and [Formula: see text] solvable, that this map is independent of the overgroup [Formula: see text].

Fundamental Paper

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.

AbstractLet G be a finite group, let k be a field and let R be a finite dimensional fully G-graded k-algebra. Also let L be a completely reducible R-module and let P be a projective cover of R. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for P|R1 to be a projective cover of L|R1 in Mod (R1). In particular, this happens if and only if L is R1-projective. Some consequences in finite group representation theory are deduced.

A Finite Group

Let H be a normal subgroup of a finite group G, and let ζ be an (absolutely) irreducible character of H. In [7], Clifford studied the irreducible characters X of G whose restrictions to H contain ζ as a constituent. First he reduced this question to the same question in the so-called inertial subgroup S of ζ in G, and secondly he described the situation in S in terms of certain projective characters of S/H. In section 8 of [10], Mackey generalized these results to the situation where all the characters concerned are projective.

AbstractA finite group G whose irreducible characters are rational valued is called a ℚ-group. In this paper we will be concerned with the structure of a finite ℚ-group that contains a strongly embedded subgroup and the structure of a finite ℚ-group satisfying the property that none of its sections is isomorphic to $$\mathbb{S}_4 $$ .

Prime 2

A character of a finite group G is monomial if it is induced from a linear (degree one) character of a subgroup of G. A group G is an M-group if all its complex irreducible characters (the set Irr(G)) are monomial.In [1], Dade gave an example of an M-group with a normal subgroup which is itself not an M-group. In his group G, the supersolvable residual N is an extra special 2-group and G/N is supersolvable of even order. Moreover, the prime 2 is used in such a way that no analogous construction is possible in the case that |N| or |G:N| is odd. This led Isaacs in [8] and Dade in [2] to consider the effect of certain “oddness“ hypotheses in the study of monomial characters.Our main results are in the same spirit. Although our techniques seem to require a restrictive assumption on the supersolvable residual of the groups we consider, our theorems provide more evidence that under fairly general circumstances normal subgroups of M-groups should be M-groups.

In [1] R. Brauer asked the following question: Let be a finite group, p a rational prime number, and B a p-block of with defect d and defect group . Is it true that is abelian if and only if every irreducible character in B has height 0 ? The present results on this problem are quite incomplete. If d-0, 1, 2 the conjecture was proved by Brauer and Feit, [4] Theorem 2. They also showed that if is cyclic, then no characters of positive height appear in B. If is normal in , the conjecture was proved by W. Reynolds and M. Suzuki, [12]. In this paper we shall show that for a solvable group , the conjecture is true for the largest prime divisor p of the order of . Actually, one half of this has already been proved in [7]. There it was shown that if is a p-solvable group, where p is any prime, and if is abelian, then the condition on the irreducible characters in B is satisfied.

Of recent years the author has been interested in developing a representation theory of the algebra of representations [5; 6] of a finite group G, and dually of its classes [7]. In this paper Frobenius’ Reciprocity Theorem provides a starting point for the introduction of the inverses R-1 and I-1 of the restricting and inducing operators R and I. The condition under which such inverse operations are available is that the classes of G do not splitin the subgroup Ĝ. When this condition is satisfied the application of these operations to inner products is of interest.
