This paper presents a self contained approach to the theory of convolution operators on locally compact groups (both commutative and non commutative) based on the use of the Figà–Talamanca Herz algebras. The case of finite groups is also considered. ...
We show that for a large class C of finitely generated groups of orientation preserving homeomorphisms of the real line, the following holds: Given a group G of rank k in C, there is a sequence of k-markings (G,S-n), n is an element of N whose limit in the ...
Let G be a finite group and (K, O, k) be a p-modular system “large enough”. Let R = O or k. There is a bijection between the blocks of the group algebra RG and the central primitive idempotents (the blocks) of the so-called cohomological Mackey algebra coμ ...
Let G be a finite group and (K, O, k) be a p-modular system. Let R = O or k. There is a bijection between the blocks of the group algebra and the blocks of the so-called p-local Mackey algebra mu(1)(R)(G). Let b be a block of RG with abelian defect group D ...
We examine how, in prime characteristic p, the group of endotrivial modules of a finite group G and the group of endotrivial modules of a quotient of G modulo a normal subgroup of order prime to p are related. There is always an inflation map, but examples ...
The minimal faithful permutation degree (G) of a finite group G is the least nonnegative integer n such that G embeds in the symmetric group Sym(n). Clearly (G x H) (G) + (H) for all finite groups G and H. In 1975, Wright ([10]) proved that equality occurs ...
Let be a simple exceptional algebraic group of adjoint type over an algebraically closed field of characteristic and let be a subgroup of containing a regular unipotent element of . By a theorem of Testerman, is contained in a connected subgroup of of type ...
Let G be a finite group and let T(G) be the abelian group of equivalence classes of endotrivial kG-modules, where k is an algebraically closed field of characteristic p. We determine, in terms of the structure of G, the kernel of the restriction map from T ...
The book contains extended versions of seven short lecture courses given during a semester programme on Local Representation Theory and Simple Groups, held at the Centre Interfacultaire Bernoulli of the EPF Lausanne. These courses focused on modular repres ...
