Character values of finite groups as eigenvalues of nonnegative integer matrices

RATIONAL CHARACTER TABLE OF SOME FINITE GROUPS

The aim of this paper is to compute the rational character tables of the dicyclic group $T_{4n}$, the groups of order $pq$ and $pqr$. Some general properties of rational character tables are also considered into account.The aim of this paper is to compute the rational character tables of the dicyclic group $T_{4n}$, the groups of order $pq$ and $pqr$.

Character values and decomposition matrices of symmetric groups

The relationships between the values taken by ordinary characters of symmetric groups are exploited to prove two theorems in the modular representation theory of the symmetric group. 1. The decomposition matrices of symmetric groups in odd characteristic have distinct rows. In characteristic 2 the rows of a decomposition matrix labelled by the different partitions λ and μ are equal if and only ...

Nonnegative matrices with prescribed extremal singular values

We consider the problem of constructing nonnegative matrices with prescribed extremal singular values. In particular, given 2n−1 real numbers σ ( j) 1 and σ ( j) j , j = 1, . . . , n, we construct an n×n nonnegative bidiagonal matrix B and an n×n nonnegative semi-bordered diagonal matrix C , such that σ ( j) 1 and σ ( j) j are, respectively, the minimal and the maximal singular values of certai...
