Blocks with Just Two Irreducible Brauer Characters in Solvable Groups

Some connections between powers of conjugacy classes and degrees of irreducible characters in solvable groups

‎Let $G$ be a finite group‎. ‎We say that the derived covering number of $G$ is finite if and only if there exists a positive integer $n$ such that $C^n=G'$ for all non-central conjugacy classes $C$ of $G$‎. ‎In this paper we characterize solvable groups $G$ in which the derived covering number is finite‎.‎ 

On Degrees of Irreducible Brauer Characters

Based on a large amount of examples, which we have checked so far, we conjecture that |G|p′ ≤ ∑ φ φ(1) 2 where p is a prime and the sum runs through the set of irreducible Brauer characters in characteristic p of the finite group G. We prove the conjecture simultaneously for p-solvable groups and groups of Lie type in the defining characteristic. In non-defining characteristics we give asymptot...

Brauer Groups of Linear Algebraic Groups with Characters

Let G be a connected linear algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Then the Brauer group of G is shown to be C X (Q/Z)<n) where C is finite and n = d(d l)/2, with d the Z-Ta.nk of the character group of G. In particular, a linear torus of dimension d has Brauer group (Q/Z)(n) with n as above. In [6], B. Iversen calculated the Brauer group of a connected, char...
