چکیده

Let G be a finite group and let R be a commutative ring. We analyse the (G,G)-bisets which stabilize an indecomposable RG-module. We prove that the minimal ones are unique up to equivalence. This result has the same flavor as the uniqueness of vertices and sources up to conjugation and resembles also the theory of cuspidal characters in the context of Harish-Chandra induction for reductive groups, but it is different and very general. We show that stabilizing bisets have rather strong properties and we explore two situations where they occur. Moreover, we prove some specific results for simple modules and also for p-groups.

Algorithmic aspects of branched coverings II. Sphere bisets and their decompositions

We consider the action of mapping class groups, by preand postcomposition, on branched coverings, and encode them algebraically as mapping class bisets. We show how the mapping class biset of maps preserving a multicurve decomposes into mapping class bisets of smaller complexity, called small mapping class bisets. We phrase the decision problem of Thurston equivalence between branched self-cove...

Mackey Functors and Bisets

For any finite group G, we define a bifunctor from the Dress category of finite G-sets to the conjugation biset category, whose objects are subgroups of G, and whose morphisms are generated by certain bifree bisets. Any additive functor from the conjugation biset category to abelian groups yields a Mackey functor by composition. We characterize the Mackey functors which arise in this way.

Bisets as Categories and Tensor Product of Induced Bimodules

Bisets can be considered as categories. This note uses this point of view to give a simple proof of a Mackey-like formula expressing the tensor product of two induced bimodules. AMS subject classification (2000) : 16D20, 20C20.

For any finite groupG, we define a bivariant functor from the Dress category of finite G-sets to the conjugation biset category, whose objects are subgroups of G, and whose morphisms are generated by certain bifree bisets. Any additive functor from the conjugation biset category to abelian groups yields a Mackey functor by composition. We characterize the Mackey functors which arise in this way.
