Nilpotent -local finite groups

Jérôme Scherer

We provide characterizations of p-nilpotency for fusion systems and p-local finite groups that are inspired by known result for finite groups. In particular, we generalize criteria by Atiyah, Brunetti, Frobenius, Quillen, Stammbach and Tate. ...

Vanishing evaluations of simple functors

Jacques Thévenaz, Serge Bouc

The classification of simple biset functors is known, but the evaluation of a simple biset functor at a finite group G may be zero. We investigate various situations where this happens, as well as cases where this does not occur. We also prove a closed for ...

Note on Solutions of the Strominger System from Unitary Representations of Cocompact Lattices of SL(2, C)

Mario Garcia Fernandez

This note is motivated by a recently published paper (Biswas and Mukherjee in Commun Math Phys 322(2):373-384, 2013). We prove a no-go result for the existence of suitable solutions of the Strominger system in a compact complex parallelizable manifold . Fo ...

Finite metacyclic groups as active sums of cyclic subgroups

Nadia Romero Romero

The notion of active sum provides an analogue for groups of what the direct sum is for abelian groups. One natural question then is which groups are the active sum of a family of cyclic subgroups. Many groups have been found to give a positive answer to th ...

Endotrivial modules over groups with quaternion or semi-dihedral Sylow 2-subgroup

Jacques Thévenaz, Nadia Mazza

Let G be a finite group with a Sylow 2-subgroup P which is either quaternion or semi-dihedral. Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 2. We prove the existence of exotic endotrivial kG-modules, whose restrictions to P are isomorphic to th ...

The functor of p-permutation modules for abelian groups

Mélanie Baumann

Let k be a field of characteristic p, where p is a prime number, let pp_k(G) be the Grothendieck group of p-permutation kG-modules, where G is a finite group, and let Cpp_k(G) be pp_k(G) tensored with the field of complex numbers C. In this article, we fin ...

The Dade group of a finite group

Caroline Lassueur

The aim of this paper is to construct an equivalent of the Dade group of a p-group for an arbitrary finite group G, whose elements are equivalences classes of endo-p-permutation modules. To achieve this goal we use the theory of relative projectivity with ...

On the topological full group of a minimal Cantor Z2-system

Nicolas Monod, Gábor Elek

Grigorchuk and Medynets recently announced that the topological full group of a minimal Cantor Z-action is amenable. They asked whether the statement holds for all minimal Cantor actions of general amenable groups as well. We answer in the negative by prod ...

Upper bounds for the Euclidean minima of abelian fields of odd prime power conductor

Eva Bayer Fluckiger, Piotr Aleksander Maciak

The aim of this paper is to give upper bounds for the Euclidean minima of abelian fields of odd prime power conductor. In particular, these bounds imply Minkowski's conjecture for totally real number fields of conductor p(r), where p is an odd prime number ...

Le foncteur de bi-ensembles des modules de p-permutation

Mélanie Baumann

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p, where p is a prime number or 0. Let G be a finite group and ppk(G) be the Grothendieck group of p-permutation kG-modules. If we tensor it with C, then Cppk becomes a C-linear biset functor. Recall ...
