Decompositions of Small Tensor Powers and Larsen's Conjecture

Robert M. Guralnick, Pham Huu Tiep

备注：: 83 pages, to appear in Representation Theory

英文摘要：

We classify all pairs (G,V) with G a closed subgroup in a classical group with natural module V over the complex numbers such that G has the same composition factors on the kth tensor power of V, for a fixed (small) k. In particular, we prove Larsen's conjecture stating that for dim(V) > 6 and k = 4, there are no such G aside from those containing the derived subgroup of the classical group. We also find all the examples where this fails for dim(V) < 7. As a consequence of our results, we obtain a short proof of a related conjecture of Katz. These conjectures are used in Katz's recent works on monodromy groups attached to Lefschetz pencils and to character sums over finite fields. Modular versions of these conjectures are also studied, with a particular application to random generation in finite groups of Lie type.

On representation zeta functions of groups and a conjecture of Larsen and Lubotzky

We study zeta functions enumerating finite-dimensional irreducible complex linear representations of compact p-adic analytic and of arithmetic groups. Using methods from p-adic integration, we show that the zeta functions associated to certain p-adic analytic pro-p groups satisfy functional equations. We prove a conjecture of Larsen and Lubotzky regarding the abscissa of convergence of arithmetic groups of type A_2 defined over number fields, assuming a conjecture of Serre on lattices in semisimple groups of rank greater than 1.

Arithmetic groups, base change, and representation growth

Consider an arithmetic group $\mathbf{G}(O_S)$, where $\mathbf{G}$ is an affine group scheme with connected, simply connected absolutely almost simple generic fiber, defined over the ring of $S$-integers $O_S$ of a number field $K$ with respect to a finite set of places $S$. For each $n \in \mathbb{N}$, let $R_n(\mathbf{G}(O_S))$ denote the number of irreducible complex representations of $\mathbf{G}(O_S)$ of dimension at most $n$. The degree of representation growth $α(\mathbf{G}(O_S)) = \lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \log R_n(\mathbf{G}(O_S)) / \log n$ is finite if and only if $\mathbf{G}(O_S)$…

On the singular value decomposition over finite fields and orbits of GU x GU

The singular value decomposition of a complex matrix is a fundamental concept in linear algebra and has proved extremely useful in many subjects. It is less clear what the situation is over a finite field. In this paper, we classify the orbits of GU(m,q) x GU(n,q) on n by n matrices (which is the analog of the singular value decomposition). The proof involves Kronecker's theory of pencils and the Lang-Steinberg theorem for algebraic groups. Besides the motivation mentioned above, this problem came up in a recent paper of Guralnick, Larsen and Tiep where a concept of character level for the com…

Jordan decomposition for weights and the blockwise Alperin weight conjecture

The Alperin weight conjecture was reduced to simple groups by the work of Navarro, Tiep and Späth. To prove Alperin weight conjecture, it suffices to show that all finite non-abelian simple groups are BAW-good. We reduce the verification of the inductive conditons for groups of Lie type in non-defining characteristic to quasi-isolated blocks.

Beauville surfaces and probabilistic group theory

A Beauville surface is a complex algebraic surface that can be presented as a quotient of a product of two curves by a suitable action of a finite group. Bauer, Catanese and Grunewald have been able to intrinsically characterize the groups appearing in minimal presentations of Beauville surfaces in terms of the existence of a so-called "Beauville structure". They conjectured that all finite simple groups, except A5, admit such a structure. This conjecture has recently been proved by Guralnick-Malle and Fairbairn-Magaard-Parker. In this survey we demonstrate another approach towards the proof o…

Decomposition of Cartan Matrix and conjectures on Brauer character degrees

Let $G$ be a finite group and $N$ be a normal subgroup of $G$. Let $J=J(F[N])$ denote the Jacboson radical of $F[N]$ and $I={\rm Ann}(J)=\{α\in F[G]|Jα=0\}$. We have another algebra $F[G]/I$. We study the decomposition of Cartan matrix of $F[G]$ according to $F[G/N]$ and $F[G]/I$. This decomposition establishs some connections between Cartan invariants and chief composition factors of $G$. We find that existing zero-defect $p$-block in $N$ depends on the properties of $I$ in $F[G]$ or Cartan invariants. When we consider the Cartan invariants for a block algebra $B$ of $G$, the decomposition is…

Commutation of Shintani descent and Jordan decomposition

Let ${\mathbf G}^F$ be a finite group of Lie type, where ${\mathbf G}$ is a reductive group defined over ${\overline{\mathbb F}_q}$ and $F$ is a Frobenius root. Lusztig's Jordan decomposition parametrises the irreducible characters in a rational series${\mathcal E}({{\mathbf G}^F},(s)_{{\mathbf G}^{*F^*}})$ where $s\in{{\mathbf G}^{*F^*}}$ by the series ${\mathcal E}(C_{{\mathbf G}^*}(s)^{F^*},1)$.We conjecture that the Shintani twisting preserves the space of class functions generated by the union of the ${\mathcal E}({{\mathbf G}^F},(s')_{{\mathbf G}^{*F^*}})$ where$(s')_{{\mathbf G}^{*F^*}}…

Word images in symmetric and classical groups of Lie type are dense

Let $w\in\mathbf F_k$ be a non-trivial word and denote by $w(G)\subseteq G$ the image of the associated word map $w\colon G^k\to G$. Let $G$ be one of the finite groups ${\rm S}_n,{\rm GL}_n(q),{\rm Sp}_{2m}(q),{\rm GO}_{2m}^\pm(q),{\rm GO}_{2m+1}(q),{\rm GU}_n(q)$ ($q$ a prime power, $n\geq 2$, $m\geq 1$), or the unitary group ${\rm U}_n$ over $\mathbb C$. Let $d_G$ be the normalized Hamming distance resp. the normalized rank metric on $G$ when $G$ is a symmetric group resp. one of the other classical groups and write $n(G)$ for the permutation resp. Lie rank of $G$. For $\varepsilon>0$, we p…

On the product decomposition conjecture for finite simple groups

We prove that if $G$ is a finite simple group of Lie type and $S$ a subset of $G$ of size at least two then $G$ is a product of at most $c\log|G|/\log|S|$ conjugates of $S$, where $c$ depends only on the Lie rank of $G$. This confirms a conjecture of Liebeck, Nikolov and Shalev in the case of families of simple groups of Lie type of bounded rank.

A solvable counterexample to the Hambleton-Taylor-Williams Conjecture

I. Hambleton, L. Taylor and B. Williams conjectured a general formula in spirit of H. Lenstra for the decomposition of $G_n(RG)$ for any finite group $G$ and noetherian ring $R.$ The conjectured decomposition was shown to hold for some large classes of finite groups. D. Webb and D. Yao discovered that the conjecture failed for the symmetric group $S_5$, but remarked that it still might be reasonable to expect the HTW-decomposition for solvable groups. In this paper we show that the solvable group $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{F}_3)$ is also a counterexample to the conjectured HTW-decomposition. Furth…

Product decompositions in finite simple groups

We propose a general conjecture on decompositions of finite simple groups as products of conjugates of an arbitrary subset. We prove this conjecture for bounded subsets of arbitrary finite simple groups, and for large subsets of groups of Lie type of bounded rank. Some of our arguments apply recent advances in the theory of growth in finite simple groups of Lie type, and provide a variety of new product decompositions of these groups.

The JSJ-decompositions of one-relator groups with torsion

In this paper we use JSJ-decompositions to formalise a folk conjecture recorded by Pride on the structure of one-relator groups with torsion. We prove a slightly weaker version of the conjecture, which implies that the structure of one-relator groups with torsion closely resemble the structure of torsion-free hyperbolic groups.
