Orbit sizes, character degrees and Sylow subgroups

AFFINE SUBGROUPS OF THE CLASSICAL GROUPS AND THEIR CHARACTER DEGREES

In this paper we describe how the degrees of the irreducible characters of the affine subgroups of the classical groups under consideration can be found inductively. In [4] Gow obtained certain character degrees for all of the affine subgroups of the classical groups. We apply the method of Fischer to the above groups and, in addition to the character degrees given in [4], we obtain some ne...

ORBIT SIZES AND CHARACTER DEGREESThomas

The objective of this paper is to develop criteria that guarantee that a nite group G which acts faithfully on a vector space V possesses \many" orbits of diierent sizes. This has consequences on (classical and modular) character degrees of nite solvable groups.

Sylow Subgroups in Parallel

Sylow subgroups are fundamental in the design of asymptotically efficient group-theoretic algorithms, just as they have been in the study of the structure of Ž . finite groups. We present efficient parallel NC algorithms for finding and conjugating Sylow subgroups of permutation groups, as well as for related problems. Polynomial-time solutions to these problems were obtained more than a dozen ...
