Let Y be a simply connected simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p and let X be a maximal closed connected simple subgroup of Y.
Excluding some small primes in specific cases, we classify the p-restrict ...
Let G be a classical group with natural module V over an algebraically closed field of good characteristic. For every unipotent element u of G, we describe the Jordan block sizes of u on the irreducible G-modules which occur as compositio ...
Quasi two-level operation of voltage source converters, intended to operate either within high/medium voltage DC networks or low output frequency applications, has caught the attention of both academia and industry. Sequential insertion of the so-called su ...
Let K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic and let W be a finite-dimensional K-vector space of dimension greater than or equal to 5. In this paper, we give the structure of certain Weyl modules for in the case where , as well as the dimension ...
It is well-known that a finite group possesses a universal central extension if and only if it is a perfect group. Similarly, given a prime number p, we show that a finite group possesses a universal p′-central extension if and only if the p′-part of its a ...
This thesis is in the context of representation theory of finite groups. More specifically, it studies biset functors. In this thesis, I focus on two biset functors: the Burnside functor and the functor of p-permutation modules. For the Burnside functor we ...
Fix an algebraically closed field K having characteristic p≥0 and let Y be a simple algebraic group of classical type over K. Also let X be maximal among closed connected subgroups of Y and consider a non-trivial p-restricted irreducible ...
We prove that amenability of a discrete group is equivalent to dimension flatness of certain ring inclusions naturally associated with measure preserving actions of the group. This provides a group-measure space theoretic solution to a conjecture of Luck s ...
Let k be a field of characteristic p, where p is a prime number, let pp_k(G) be the Grothendieck group of p-permutation kG-modules, where G is a finite group, and let Cpp_k(G) be pp_k(G) tensored with the field of complex numbers C. In this article, we fin ...
Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p, where p is a prime number or 0. Let G be a finite group and ppk(G) be the Grothendieck group of p-permutation kG-modules. If we tensor it with C, then Cppk becomes a C-linear biset functor. Recall ...
The Grothendieck group of permutation modules for a finite group G becomes a biset functor when G is allowed to vary. All the composition factors of this biset functor are determined. ...
We present a contribution to the structure theory of locally compact groups. The emphasis is put on compactly generated locally compact groups which admit no infinite discrete quotient. It is shown that such a group possesses a characteristic cocompact sub ...
