Some Observations on Products of Characters of Finite Classical Groups
نویسنده
چکیده
This is an extended version of the talk given by the first author at the conference. We report on the outcome of some experiments with the decomposition of products of (generalized) characters of some classical groups. In particular some results of the PhD-thesis of Dirk Mattig on the products of unipotent characters of general linear groups are presented and commented. In order to obtain similar patterns for other classical groups it seems necessary to replace unipotent characters by unipotent almost characters.

Some connections between powers of conjugacy classes and degrees of irreducible characters in solvable groups
Let $G$ be a finite group. We say that the derived covering number of $G$ is finite if and only if there exists a positive integer $n$ such that $C^n=G'$ for all non-central conjugacy classes $C$ of $G$. In this paper we characterize solvable groups $G$ in which the derived covering number is finite.
متن کاملOn the irreducible characters of Camina triples
The Camina triple condition is a generalization of the Camina condition in the theory of finite groups. The irreducible characters of Camina triples have been verified in the some special cases. In this paper, we consider a Camina triple (G,M,N) and determine the irreducible characters of G in terms of the irreducible characters of M and G/N.
متن کاملA Murnaghan–nakayama Rule for Values of Unipotent Characters in Classical Groups
We derive a Murnaghan–Nakayama type formula for the values of unipotent characters of finite classical groups on regular semisimple elements. This relies on Asai’s explicit decomposition of Lusztig restriction. We use our formula to show that most complex irreducible characters vanish on some -singular element for certain primes . As an application we classify the simple endotrivial modules of ...
متن کاملAFFINE 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...
