Determining Group Structure from Sets of Irreducible Character Degrees

On Finite Groups With Two Irreducible Character Degrees

Prime Divisors of Irreducible Character Degrees

Let G be a finite group. We denote by ρ(G) the set of primes which divide some character degrees of G and by σ(G) the largest number of distinct primes which divide a single character degree of G. We show that |ρ(G)| ≤ 2σ(G) + 1 when G is an almost simple group. For arbitrary finite groups G, we show that |ρ(G)| ≤ 2σ(G) + 1 provided that σ(G) ≤ 2.

Determining a Connected Split Reductive Group from Its Irreducible Representations

We show that a connected split reductive group G over a field of characteristic 0 is uniquely determined up to isomorphism by specifying a maximal torus T of G , the set of isomorphism classes of irreducible representations of G , and the character homomorphism from the Grothendieck ring of G to that of T .

Symmetric Group Character Degrees and Hook Numbers

In this article we prove the following result: that for any two natural numbers k and `, and for all sufficiently large symmetric groups Sn, there are k disjoint sets of ` irreducible characters of Sn, such that each set consists of characters with the same degree, and distinct sets have different degrees. In particular, this resolves a conjecture most recently made by Moretó in [5]. The method...
