Representation Algebra

Let k be a field of characteristic 2 and let G be a finite group. Let A(G) be the modular representation algebra1 over the complex numbers C, formed from kG-modules2. If the Sylow 2-subgroup of G is isomorphic to Z2×Z2, we show that A(G) is semisimple. We make use of the theorems proved by Green [4] and the results of the author concerning A(4) [2], where 4 is the alternating group on 4 symbols.

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.

Groups Of Lie Type

Abstract We introduce a generalized version of a q-Schur algebra (of parabolic type) for arbitrary Hecke algebras over extended Weyl groups. We describe how the decomposition matrix of a finite group with split BN-pair, with respect to a non-describing prime, can be partially described by the decomposition matrices of suitably chosen q-Schur algebras. We show that the investigated structures occur naturally in finite groups of Lie type.

Representation Algebra

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]).

A Finite Group

For a prime p, a homology decomposition of the classifying space BG of a finite group G consist of a functor F : D → spaces from a small category into the category of spaces and a map hocolim F → BG from the homotopy colimit to BG that induces an isomorphism in mod-p homology. Associated to a modular representation G → Gl(n; [ ]p), a family of subgroups is constructed that is closed under conjugation, which gives rise to three different homology decompositions, the so-called subgroup, centralizer and normalizer decompositions. For an action of G on an [ ]p-vector space V, this collection consists of all subgroups of G with nontrivial p-Sylow subgroup which fix nontrivial (proper) subspaces of V pointwise. These decomposition formulas connect the modular representation theory of G with the homotopy theory of BG.

A Finite Group

Let G be a finite group and p a prime number. About five years ago I. M. Isaacs and S. D. Smith [5] gave several character-theoretic characterizations of finite p-solvable groups with p-length 1. Indeed, they proved that if P is a Sylow p-subgroup of G then the next four conditions (l)–(4) are equivalent:(1) G is p-solvable of p-length 1.(2) Every irreducible complex representation in the principal p-block of G restricts irreducibly to NG(P).(3) Every irreducible complex representation of degree prime to p in the principal p-block of G restricts irreducibly to NG(P).(4) Every irreducible modular representation in the principal p-block of G restricts irreducibly to NG(P).

Representation Algebra

Let G be a finite group and F a complete local noetherian commutative ring with residue field of characteristic p # 0. Let A(G) denote the representation algebra of G with respect to F. This is a linear algebra over the complex field whose basis elements are the isomorphism-classes of indecomposable finitely generated FG-representation modules, with addition and multiplication induced by direct sum and tensor product respectively. The two authors have separately found decompositions of A(G) as direct sums of subalgebras. In this note we show that the decompositions in one case have a common refinement given in the other's paper.

A Finite Group

Let p be an odd prime and G = HB be a semi-direct product where H is a cyclic, p-Sylow subgroup and B is finite Abelian. If K is a field of characteristic p the isomorphism classes of KG-modules relative to direct sum and tensor product generate a ring a(G) called the representation ring of G over K. If K is algebraically closed it is shown in (4) that there is a ring isomorphism a(G) ≃ a(HB2)⊗a(B1) where B1 is the kernel of the action of B on H and B2 = B/B1.> 2, Aut (H) is cyclic thus HB2 is metacyclic. The study of the multiplicative structure of a(G) is thus reduced to that of the known rings a(B1) and a(HB2) (see (3)).

Let Λ be the set of inequivalent representations of a finite group over a field . Λ is made the basis of an algebra over the complex numbers , called the representation algebra, in which multiplication corresponds to the tensor product of representations and addition to direct sum. Green [5] has shown that if char (the non-modular case) or if is cyclic, then is semi-simple, i.e. is a direct sum of copies of . Here we consider two modular, non-cyclic cases, viz, where is or 4 (alternating group) and is of characteristic 2.
