THE SCHUR INDICES OF THE CUSPIDAL UNIPOTENT CHARACTERS OF THE FINITE CHEVALLEY GROUPS E7(q)
We show that the two cuspidal unipotent characters of a finite Chevalley group E7(q) have Schur index 2, provided that q is an even power of a (sufficiently large) prime number p such that p ≡ 1 mod 4. The proof uses a refinement of Kawanaka’s generalized Gelfand–Graev representations and some explicit computations with the CHEVIE computer algebra system.
متن کاملCharacters of Finite Abelian Groups
Example 1.2. The trivial character of G is the homomorphism 1G defined by 1G(g) = 1 for all g ∈ G. Example 1.3. Let G be cyclic of order 4 with generator γ. Since γ4 = 1, a character χ of G has χ(γ)4 = 1, so χ takes only four possible values at γ, namely 1, −1, i, or −i. Once χ(γ) is known, the value of χ elsewhere is determined by multiplicativity: χ(γj) = χ(γ)j . So we get four characters, wh...
متن کاملCharacters of Finite Abelian Groups
When G has size n and g ∈ G, for any character χ of G we have χ(g)n = χ(gn) = χ(1) = 1, so the values of χ lie among the nth roots of unity in S1. More precisely, the order of χ(g) divides the order of g (which divides #G). Characters on finite abelian groups were first studied in number theory, since number theory is a source of many interesting finite abelian groups. For instance, Dirichlet u...
متن کاملMonomial Characters of Finite Groups
An abundance of information regarding the structure of a finite group can be obtained by studying its irreducible characters. Of particular interest are monomial characters — those induced from a linear character of some subgroup — since Brauer has shown that any irreducible character of a group can be written as an integral linear combination of monomial characters. Our primary focus is the cl...
متن کاملProjective Modules over Finite Groups
Serre [5] has recently proved a general theorem about projective modules over commutative rings. This theorem has the following consequence : If 7T is a finite abelian group, any finitely generated projective module over the integral group ring Zir is the direct sum of a free module and an ideal of Zir. The question naturally arises as to whether this result holds for nonabelian groups x. Serre...
