Let G be a finite group and let T(G) be the abelian group of equivalence classes of endotrivial kG-modules, where k is an algebraically closed field of characteristic p. We determine, in terms of the structure of G, the kernel of the restriction map from T ...
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 ...
For G a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, we determine the irreducible representations ρ:G→I(V), where I(V) denotes one of the classical groups SL(V), Sp(V), SO(V), such that ρ sends some distinguished unipotent ...
Let G be a finite group and let T(G) be the abelian group of equivalence classes of endotrivial kG-modules, where k is an algebraically closed field of characteristic p. We investigate the torsion-free part TF(G) of the group T(G) and look for generators o ...
Let W be a vector space over an algebraically closed field k. Let H be a quasisimple group of Lie type of characteristic p not equal char(k) acting irreducibly on W. Suppose also that G is a classical group with natural module W, chosen minimally with resp ...
Let G be a finite group with a Sylow 2-subgroup P which is either quaternion or semi-dihedral. Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 2. We prove the existence of exotic endotrivial kG-modules, whose restrictions to P are isomorphic to th ...
