On unitriangular basic sets for symmetric and alternating groups

A basic set for the alternating group

This article concerns the $p$-basic set existence problem in the representation theory of finite groups. We show that, for any odd prime $p$, the alternating group $\A_n$ has a $p$-basic set. More precisely, we prove that the symmetric group $\sym_n$ has a $p$-basic set with some additional properties, allowing us to deduce a $p$-basic set for $\A_n$. Our main tool is the generalized perfect isometries introduced by Külshammer, Olsson and Robinson. As a consequence we obtain some results on the decomposition number of $\A_n$.

Supercharacters of unipotent and solvable groups

The notion of the supercharacter theory was introduced by P.Diaconis and I.M.Isaaks in 2008. In this paper we review the main statements of the general theory, we observe the construction of supercharacter theory for algebra groups and the theory of basic characters for the unitriangular groups over the finite field. Basing on the previous papers of the author, we construct the supercharacter theory for the finite groups of triangular type. We characterize the structure of Hopf algebra of supercharacters for the triangular group over the finite field.

Irreducible tensor products for alternating groups in characteristics 2 and 3

In this paper we study irreducible tensor products of representations of alternating groups in characteristics 2 and 3. In characteristic 3 we completely classify irreducible tensor products, while in characteristic 2 we completely classify irreducible tensor products where none of the modules appearing in the product is a basic spin module. In characteristic 2 we also give some necessary conditions for the tensor product of an irreducible module with a basic spin module to be irreducible.

Irreducible tensor products for alternating groups in characteristic 2

In this paper we completely characterise irreducible tensor products of representations of alternating groups in characteristic 2 of a basic spin module with an irreducible module. This completes the classification of irreducible tensor products of representations of alternating groups.

A 2-basic set of the alternating group

In this note, we construct a 2-basic set of the alternating group \A_n. To do this, we construct a 2-basic set of the symmetric group \sym_n with an additional property, such that its restriction to \A_n is a 2-basic set. We adapt here a method developed in \cite{BrGr} for the case when the characteristic is odd. One of the main tools is the generalized perfect isometries defined by Külshammer, Olsson and Robinson in \cite{KOR}.

Basic sets for the double covering groups of the symmetric and alternating groups in odd characteristic

In this paper, following the methods of http://arxiv.org/abs/1305.7449v2, we show that the double covering groups of the symmetric and alternating groups have p-basic sets for any odd prime p.

Restricting Representations from a Complex Group to a Real Form

Let $G$ be a complex connected reductive algebraic group and let $G_{\mathbb{R}}$ be a real form of $G$. We construct a sequence of functors $L_i\mathcal{R}$ from admissible (resp. finite-length) representations of $G$ to admissible (resp. finite-length) representations of $G_{\mathbb{R}}$. We establish many basic properties of these functors, including their behavior with respect to infinitesimal character, associated variety, and restriction to a maximal compact subgroup. We deduce that each $L_i\mathcal{R}$ takes unipotent representations of $G$ to unipotent representations of $G_{\mathbb{R…

Modular branching rules for projective representations of symmetric groups and lowering operators for the supergroup Q(n)

There are two approaches to projective representation theory of symmetric and alternating groups, which are powerful enough to work for modular representations. One is based on Sergeev duality, which connects projective representation theory of the symmetric group and representation theory of the algebraic supergroup $Q(n)$ via appropriate Schur (super)algebras and Schur functors. The second approach follows the work of Grojnowski for classical affine and cyclotomic Hecke algebras and connects projective representation theory of symmetric groups in characteristic $p$ to the crystal graph of th…
