In 1978 Almkvist and Fossum examined the decomposition of the exterior powers of basis modules in the modular representation algebra of a cyclic group of prime order. In particular they developed an isomorphism between these exterior powers and terms of binomial coefficient type in the algebra.We derive several recurrence relations for these terms.

AbstractLet G be a cyclic group of prime order p and K a field of characteristic p. The set of classes of isomorphic indecomposable (K, G)-modules forms a basis over the complex field for an algebra p (Green, 1962) with addition and multiplication being derived from direct sum and tensor product operations.Algebras n with similar properties can be defined for all n ≥ 2. Each such algebra is isomorphic to a matrix algebra Mn of n × n matrices with complex entries and standard operations. The characters of elements of n are the eigenvalues of the corresponding matrices in Mn.

AbstractLet p,m be the modular representation algebra of the cyclic group of order pm over the prime field Zp. The characters of p, m are derived. For p = 2, this provides an alternative proof of a result due to Carlson (1975), tha 2,m is a local ring. It is shown that for p>2, p, m is a direct sum of 2m local rings. Their dimensions and primitive idempotents are derived.Subject classification (Amer. Math. Soc. (MOS) 1970): 20 C 20, 12 C 05, 12 C 30, 33 A 65.

Certain necessary conditions on the face numbers and Betti numbers of simplicial complexes endowed with a proper action of a prime order cyclic group are established. A notion of colored algebraic shifting is defined and its properties are studied. As an application a new simple proof of the characterization of the flag face numbers of balanced Cohen-Macaulay complexes originally due to Stanley (necessity) and Björner, Frankl, and Stanley (sufficiency) is given. The necessity portion of their result is generalized to certain conditions on the face numbers and Betti numbers of balanced Buchsbaum complexes.

Indices of normal spaces with countable basis for equivariant mappings have been investigated by Bourgin [4; 6] and by Wu [11; 12] in the case where the transformation groups are of prime order p. One of us has extended the concept to the case where the transformation group is a cyclic group of order pt and discussed its applications to the Kakutani Theorem (see [10]). In this paper we will define the Jp-index of a normal space with countable basis in the case where the transformation group is a cyclic group of order n, where n is divisible by p. We will decide, by means of the spectral sequence technique of Borel [1; 2], the Jp-index of SO(n) where n is an odd integer divisible by p. The method used in this paper can be applied to find the Jp-index of a classical group G whose cohomology ring over Jp has a system of universally transgressive generators of odd degrees.

AbstractWe determine the structure of representations induced from discrete series of parabolic subgroups of quasi-split p-adic groups G with G/G° a cyclic group of prime order. We attach to each such representation an R-group which extends the definition of the Knapp-Stein R-group. We show that this R-group has the properties predicted by Arthur. We apply our results to the case of Orthogonal groups.

AbstractVector invariants of finite groups (see the introduction for an explanation of the terminology) have often been used to illustrate the difficulties of invariant theory in the modular case: see, e.g., [1], [2], [4], [7], [11] and [12]. It is therefore all the more surprising that the unpleasant properties of these invariants may be derived from two unexpected, and remarkable, nice properties: namely for vector permutation invariants of the cyclic group of prime order in characteristic p the image of the transfer homomorphism is a prime ideal, and the quotient algebra is a polynomial algebra on the top Chern classes of the action.

Let a cyclic group of odd prime order p act on a ℤ(p)-Poincaré duality space X. We prove a relation between the Witt classes associated to the [ ]p-cohomology rings of the fixed point set of this action and of X. This is applied to show a similar result for actions of finite p-groups on ℤ(p)-homology manifolds.
