In this paper the character table of GL(3, q) (U(3, q2)), the group of all nonsingular n × n (unitary) matrices over GF(q) (GF(q2)), is used to obtain the character tables for the related subgroups SL(3, q), PSL(3, q) (SU(3, q2), PSU(3, q2)), the corresponding groups of matrices of determinant unity and the projective group respectively. There are very few abstract character tables which hold for entire families of groups. Such tables are of much greater value than tables for specific groups because, among other things, they enable one to discern various patterns common to the whole family.

AbstractWe describe a method for constructing the character table of a group of type M.G.A from the character tables of the subgroup M.G and the factor group G.A, provided that A acts suitably on M.G. This simplifies and generalizes a recently published method.

AbstractOne way of expressing the self-duality $A\cong {\rm Hom}(A,\mathbb{C})$ of Abelian groups is that their character tables are self-transpose (in a suitable ordering). In this paper we extend the duality to some noncommutative groups considering when the character table of a finite group is close to being the transpose of the character table for some other group. We find that groups dual to each other have dual normal subgroup lattices. We show that our concept of duality cannot work for non-nilpotent groups and we describe p-group examples.

A general scheme is presented to decompose a d-by-d unitary matrix as the product of two-level unitary matrices with additional structure and prescribed determinants. In particular, the decomposition can be done by using two-level matrices in d - 1 classes, where each class is isomorphic to the group of 2 × 2 unitary matrices. The proposed scheme is easy to apply, and useful in treating problems with the additional structural restrictions. A Matlab program is written to implement the scheme, and the result is used to deduce the fact that every quantum gate acting on n-qubit registers can be expressed as no more than 2n-1(2n-1) fully controlled single-qubit gates chosen from 2n-1 classes, where the quantum gates in each class share the same n - 1 control qubits. Moreover, it is shown that one can easily adjust the proposed decomposition scheme to take advantage of additional structure evolving in the process.

The finite groups in which every irreducible character vanishes on at most three conjugacy classes were characterized [J. Group Theory13 (2010) 799–819]. Dually, we investigate the finite groups whose columns contain a small number of zeros in the character table.

AbstractLet Fq be a finite field with q elements, V an n-dimensional vector space over Fq and 𝒱 the projective space associated to V. Let G≤GLn(Fq) be a classical group and PG be the corresponding projective group. In this note we prove that if Fq (V )G is purely transcendental over Fq with homogeneous polynomial generators, then Fq (𝒱)PG is also purely transcendental over Fq. We compute explicitly the generators of Fq (𝒱)PG when G is the symplectic, unitary or orthogonal group.

Irreducible Character Degree

Much information about a finite group is encoded in its character table. Indeed even a small portion of the character table may reveal significant information about the group. By a famous theorem of Jordan, knowing the degree of one faithful irreducible character of a finite group gives an upper bound for the index of its largest normal abelian subgroup.Here we consider b(G), the largest irreducible character degree of the group G. A simple application of Frobenius reciprocity shows that b(G) ≧ |G:A| for any abelian subgroup A of G. In light of this fact and Jordan's theorem, one might seek to bound the index of the largest abelian subgroup of G from above by a function of b(G). If is G is nilpotent, a result of Isaacs and Passman (see [7, Theorem 12.26]) shows that G has an abelian subgroup of index at most b(G)4.

Fischer Group

The Fischer group [Formula: see text] is the largest 3-transposition sporadic group of order 2510411418381323442585600 = 222.316.52.73.11.13.17.23.29. It is generated by a conjugacy class of 306936 transpositions. Wilson [15] completely determined all the maximal 3-local subgroups of Fi24. In the present paper, we determine the Fischer-Clifford matrices and hence compute the character table of the non-split extension 37· (O7(3):2), which is a maximal 3-local subgroup of the automorphism group Fi24 of index 125168046080 using the technique of Fischer-Clifford matrices. Most of the calculations are carried out using the computer algebra systems GAP and MAGMA.
