The Primitive Distance-Transitive Representations of the Fischer Groups
Research partly funded by the DFG (Germany) in the framework of the joint research project \Algorithmic Number Theory and Algebra", and also by the European Community HCM grant in \Computational Group Theory". We classify the primitive distance-transitive representations of the Fischer sporadic simple groups and their automorphism groups. It turns out that the only primitive distance-transitive...
متن کاملAffine Distance-transitive Groups
A fruitful way of studying groups is by means of their actions on graphs. A very special and interesting class of groups are the ones acting distance-transitively on some graph. A group G acting on a connected graph F = (VT, ET) is said to act distance-transitively if its action on each of the sets {(x, y)\ x, y e VT, d(x, y) = i} is transitive. Here VT and ET stand for the vertices and edges o...
متن کاملRepresentations of symmetric groups
In this thesis we study the ordinary and the modular representation theory of the symmetric group. In particular we focus our work on different important open questions in the area. 1. Foulkes’ Conjecture In Chapter 2 we focus our attention on the long standing open problem known as Foulkes’ Conjecture. We use methods from character theory of symmetric groups to determine new information on the...
متن کاملRepresentations of Symmetric Groups
A surprising theorem in the modular representation theory of symmetric groups uses induction and restriction functors to define an action of an affine Kac-Moody special linear algebra on the level of Grothendieck groups. This action identifies the direct sum of Grothendieck groups with an integrable highest weight module of the Kac-Moody algebra. The purpose of this write-up is to provide a gen...
متن کاملSymmetric Representations of Knot Groups
In this paper we give an explicit and constructive description of the pairs (p. A) of elements in the symmetric group S, which can be realized as the image of the meridian-longitude pair of some knot K in the 3-sphere S3 under a representation xi (S’ K) -t S,,. The result is applied to give an otherwise nonobvious restriction on the numbers of branch curves of a branched covering , of S’, answe...
