It has been shown by Diederichsen [2] that for integral representations of a finite group, the irreducible constituents in any complete reduction are not necessarily unique up to order and unimodular equivalence. In this same article, it is shown that for certain finite groups, such as the cyclic group of order 4, there are infinitely many classes of indecomposable representations under unimodular equivalence.

AbstractLet G be a finite group and p be a prime. We investigate isomorphism invariants of $\mathbb{Z}_p$[G]-lattices whose extension of scalars to $\mathbb{Q}_p$ is self-dual, called regulator constants. These were originally introduced by Dokchitser–Dokchitser in the context of elliptic curves. Regulator constants canonically yield a pairing between the space of Brauer relations for G and the subspace of the representation ring for which regulator constants are defined. For all G, we show that this pairing is never identically zero. For formal reasons, this pairing will, in general, have non-trivial kernel. But, if G has cyclic Sylow p-subgroups and we restrict to considering permutation lattices, then we show that the pairing is non-degenerate modulo the formal kernel. Using this we can show that, for certain groups, including dihedral groups of order 2p for p odd, the isomorphism class of any $\mathbb{Z}_p$[G]-lattice whose extension of scalars to $\mathbb{Q}_p$ is self-dual, is determined by its regulator constants, its extension of scalars to $\mathbb{Q}_p$, and a cohomological invariant of Yakovlev.

The power graph [Formula: see text] of a finite group [Formula: see text] is the undirected simple graph whose vertex set is [Formula: see text], in which two distinct vertices are adjacent if one of them is an integral power of the other. For an integer [Formula: see text], let [Formula: see text] denote the cyclic group of order [Formula: see text] and let [Formula: see text] be the number of distinct prime divisors of [Formula: see text]. The minimum degree [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] is known for [Formula: see text], see [R. P. Panda and K. V. Krishna, On the minimum degree, edge-connectivity and connectivity of power graphs of finite groups, Comm. Algebra 46(7) (2018) 3182–3197]. For [Formula: see text], under certain conditions involving the prime divisors of [Formula: see text], we identify at most [Formula: see text] vertices such that [Formula: see text] is equal to the degree of at least one of these vertices. If [Formula: see text], or that [Formula: see text] is a product of distinct primes, we are able to identify two such vertices without any condition on the prime divisors of [Formula: see text].

1. Introduction.Let p be a prime number. A finite group G = (G, B, N, R, U) is called a split(B, N)-pair of characteristic p and rank n if(i) G has a (B, N)-pair (see [3, Definition 2.1, p. B-8]) where H= B ⋂ N and the Weyl group W= N/H is generated by the set R= ﹛ω 1,… , ω n) of “special generators.”(ii) H= ⋂n∈N n-1Bn(iii) There exists a p-subgroup U of G such that B = UH is a semidirect product, and H is abelian with order prime to p.A (B, N)-pair satisfying (ii) is called a saturated (B, N)-pair. We call a finite group G which satisfies (i) and (iii) an unsaturated split (B, N)- pair. (Unsaturated means “not necessarily saturated”.)

We prove that the spectrum of a Cayley graph over a finite group with a normal generating set S containing with every its element s all generators of the cyclic group 〈s〉 is integral. In particular, a Cayley graph of a 2-group generated by a normal set of involutions is integral. We prove that a Cayley graph over the symmetric group of degree n no less than 2 generated by all transpositions is integral. We find the spectrum of a Cayley graph over the alternating group of degree n no less than 4 with a generating set of 3-cycles of the form (k i j) with fixed k, as {−n+1, 1−n+1, 22 −n+1, …, (n−1)2 −n+1}.

Of recent years the author has been interested in developing a representation theory of the algebra of representations [5; 6] of a finite group G, and dually of its classes [7]. In this paper Frobenius’ Reciprocity Theorem provides a starting point for the introduction of the inverses R-1 and I-1 of the restricting and inducing operators R and I. The condition under which such inverse operations are available is that the classes of G do not splitin the subgroup Ĝ. When this condition is satisfied the application of these operations to inner products is of interest.

Let K be a commutative noetherian ring. It is proved that a representation of a finite group on a K-module of finite length or on a K-module of finite exponent has a finite basis for its identities. In particular, this implies an earlier result of Nguyen Hung Shon and the author stating that every representation of a finite group over a field is finitely based. The problem whether every representation of a finite group over a commutative noetherian ring is finitely based still remains open.

The minimal (faithful) degree μ(G) of a finite group G is the least positive integer n such that G ≲ Sn. Clearly if H ≤ G then μ(H) ≤ μ(G). However if N ◃ G then it is possible for μ(G/N) to be greater than μ(G); such groups G are here called exceptional. Properties of exceptional groups are investigated and several families of exceptional groups are given. For example it is shown that the smallest exceptional groups have order 32.

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).

AbstractLet G be a finite group and χ be an irreducible character of G. An efficient and simple method to construct representations of finite groups is applicable whenever G has a subgroup H such that χH has a linear constituent with multiplicity 1. In this paper we show (with a few exceptions) that if G is a simple group or a covering group of a simple group and χ is an irreducible character of G of degree less than 32, then there exists a subgroup H (often a Sylow subgroup) of G such that χH has a linear constituent with multiplicity 1.

We prove that, given a quasi-primitive complex representation D for a finite group G, the possible ways of decomposing D as an inner tensor product of two projective representations of G are parametrised in terms of the group structure of G. More explicitly, we construct a bijection between the set of such decompositions and a particular interval in the lattice of normal subgroups of G.
