for a finite group $g$‎, ‎we study the total character $tau_g$‎ ‎afforded by the direct sum of all the non-isomorphic irreducible‎ ‎complex representations of $g$‎. ‎we resolve for several classes of‎ ‎groups (the camina $p$-groups‎, ‎the generalized camina $p$-groups‎, ‎the groups which admit $(g,z(g))$ as a generalized camina pair)‎, ‎the problem of existence of a‎ ‎polynomial $f(x) in mathbb...

The total character τ of a finite group G is defined as the sum of all the irreducible characters of G. K. W. Johnson asks when it is possible to express τ as a polynomial with integer coefficients in a single irreducible character. In this paper, we give a complete answer to Johnson’s question for all finite dihedral groups. In particular, we show that, when such a polynomial exists, it is uni...

A total of 200 threadfin bream Nemipterus japonicus was collected from Chennai in the east coast and Kochi in the west coast during January to February 2013 and studied for their morphometric and meristic characters. In total, 21 characters were analyzed out of which 3 characters namely dorsal, ventral and anal fins were not considered since they were unaltered. The findings indicate that 91% o...
