Simple biset functors and double Burnside ring
نویسندگان
چکیده
Let G be a finite group and let k be a field. Our purpose is to investigate the simple modules for the double Burnside ring kB(G,G). It turns out that they are evaluations at G of simple biset functors. For a fixed finite group H, we introduce a suitable bilinear form on kB(G,H) and we prove that the quotient of kB(−, H) by the radical of the bilinear form is a semi-simple functor. This allows for a description of the evaluation of simple functors, hence of simple modules for the double Burnside ring. AMS Subject Classification : 19A22, 20C20.

Idempotents of double Burnside algebras, L-enriched bisets, and decomposition of p-biset functors
Let R be a (unital) commutative ring, andG be a finite group with order invertible in R. We introduce new idempotents εT,S in the double Burnside algebra RB(G,G) of G over R, indexed by conjugacy classes of minimal sections (T, S) of G (i.e. sections such that S ≤ Φ(T )). These idempotents are orthogonal, and their sum is equal to the identity. It follows that for any biset functor F over R, th...
متن کاملRational p-biset functors
In this paper, I give several characterizations of rational biset functors over p-groups, which are independent of the knowledge of genetic bases for p-groups. I also introduce a construction of new biset functors from known ones, which is similar to the Yoneda construction for representable functors, and to the Dress construction for Mackey functors, and I show that this construction preserves...
متن کاملBorel-smith Functions and the Dade Group
We show that there is an exact sequence of biset functors over p-groups 0 → Cb j −→B∗ Ψ −→D → 0 where Cb is the biset functor for the group of Borel-Smith functions, B ∗ is the dual of the Burnside ring functor, D is the functor for the subgroup of the Dade group generated by relative syzygies, and the natural transformation Ψ is the transformation recently introduced by the first author in [5]...
متن کاملTornehave morphisms III: the reduced Tornehave morphism and the Burnside unit functor
We shall show that a morphism anticipated by Tornehave induces (and helps to explain) Bouc’s isomorphism relating a quotient of the Burnside unit functor (measuring a difference between real and rational representations of finite 2-groups) and a quotient of the kernel of linearization (measuring a difference between rhetorical and rational 2-biset functors). 2000 Mathematics Subject Classificat...
متن کاملThe slice Burnside ring and the section Burnside ring of a finite group
This paper introduces two new Burnside rings for a finite group G, called the slice Burnside ring and the section Burnside ring. They are built as Grothendieck rings of the category of morphisms of G-sets, and of Galois morphisms of G-sets, respectively. The well known results on the usual Burnside ring, concerning ghost maps, primitive idempotents, and description of the prime spectrum, are ex...
