AbstractLet F be an algebraically closed field, G be a finite group and H be a subgroup of G. We answer several questions about the centralizer algebra FGH. Among these, we provide examples to show that•the centre Z(FGH) can be larger than the F-algebra generated by Z(FG) and Z(FH),•FGH can have primitive central idempotents that are not of the form ef, where e and f are primitive central idempotents of FG and FH respectively,•it is not always true that the simple FGH-modules are the same as the non-zero FGH-modules HomFH(S, T ↓ H), where S and T are simple FH and FG-modules, respectively.

AbstractLet X be projective variety over an algebraically closed field k and G be a finite group with g.c.d.(char(k), |G|) = 1. We prove that any representations of G on a coherent sheaf, ρ : G → End(ℰ), has a natural decomposition ℰ ≃ ⊕ V ⊗k ℱV, where G acts trivially on ℱV and the sum run over all irreducible representations of G over k.

AbstractLet k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p, and G a finite group. Let M be an indecomposable kG-module with vertex V and source X, and let P be a Sylow p-subgroup of G containing V. Theorem: If dimkX is prime to p and if NG(V) is p-solvable, then the p-part of dimkM equals [P:V]; dimkX is prime to p if V is cyclic.

In the theory of modular representations of a finite group G in an algebraically closed field Ω of characteristic p, Brauer has proved a useful reduction theorem for blocks [2, §§11, 12], [5, (88.8)], which can be reformulated as follows:THEOREM 1 (Brauer). Let P bean arbitraryp-subgroup of G; let N = NG(P) and W = PCG(P).

Throughout this paper F is an algebraically closed field of characteristic p (≠ 0) and g is a finite group whose order is divisible by p. We define in the usual way an F-representation of g (or F G-representation) and its corresponding module. The isomorphism class of the, F G-representation module M is written {M} or, where no confusion arises, M. A (G) denotes the F-representation algebra of G over the complex field G (as defined on pages 73 and 82 of [6]).

AbstractLet G be a finite group and, for a prime p, let S be a Sylow p-subgroup of G. A character χ of G is called {\mathrm{Syl}_{p}}-regular if the restriction of χ to S is the character of the regular representation of S. If, in addition, χ vanishes at all elements of order divisible by p, χ is said to be Steinberg-like. For every finite simple group G, we determine all primes p for which G admits a Steinberg-like character, except for alternating groups in characteristic 2. Moreover, we determine all primes for which G has a projective FG-module of dimension {\lvert S\rvert}, where F is an algebraically closed field of characteristic p.

For G a classical group of type Bn, Cn or Dn defined over an algebraically closed field (of characteristic other than two if G is a special orthogonal group), we show that the centralizer algebra of G on the space of endomorphisms of the module of traceless tensors Wr is naturally isomorphic to the group algebra of the symmetric group Sr if r[les ]n (for G of type Bn or Cn) or if r<n (for G of type Dn). This extends a characteristic zero result of Brauer and Weyl and recovers some of the related characteristic free results that De Concini and Strickland obtained for G of type Cn.

Abstract Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$, and let ${\mathcal{O}}$ be either $k$ or its ring of Witt vectors $W(k)$. Let $G$ be a finite group and $B$ a block of ${\mathcal{O}} G$ with normal abelian defect group and abelian $p^{\prime}$ inertial quotient $L$. We show that $B$ is isomorphic to its second Frobenius twist. This is motivated by the fact that bounding Frobenius numbers is one of the key steps towards Donovan’s conjecture. For ${\mathcal{O}}=k$, we give an explicit description of the basic algebra of $B$ as a quiver with relations. It is a quantized version of the group algebra of the semidirect product $P\rtimes L$.

Kaplansky’s famous conjectures about generalizing results from groups to Hopf al-gebras inspired many mathematicians to try to find solusions for them. Recently, Cohen and Westreich in [8] and [10] have generalized the concepts of nilpotency and solvability of groups to Hopf algebras under certain conditions and proved interesting results. In this article, we follow their work and give a detailed example by considering a finite group G and an algebraically closed field K. In more details, we construct the group Hopf algebra H = KG and examine its properties to see what of the properties of the original finite group can be carried out in the case of H.

Abstract We rule out a certain nine-dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field to be the basic algebra of a block of a finite group, thereby completing the classification of basic algebras of dimension at most 12 of blocks of finite group algebras.

AbstractAssume k is an algebraically closed field of characteristic p and G is a finite group. If P is a p-subgroup of G such that G = PCG(P), and if H is a normal subgroup of G with P ≤ H, then the number of H-cliques of irreducible k[G]-modules is the same as the number of H/P-cliques of irreducible k[G/P]-modules.
