Cycle indices for the finite classical groups

Cycle indices for finite orthogonal groups of even characteristic

We develop cycle index generating functions for orthogonal groups in even characteristic, and give some enumerative applications. A key step is the determination of the values of the complex linear-Weil characters of the finite symplectic group, and their inductions to the general linear group, at unipotent elements. We also define and study several natural probability measures on integer partitions.

Finite Affine Groups: Cycle Indices, Hall-Littlewood Polynomials, and Probabilistic Algorithms

The asymptotic study of the conjugacy classes of a random element of the finite affine group leads one to define a probability measure on the set of all partitions of all positive integers. Four different probabilistic understandings of this measure are given--three using symmetric function theory and one using Markov chains. This leads to non-trivial enumerative results. Cycle index generating functions are derived and are used to compute the large dimension limiting probabilities that an element of the affine group is separable, cyclic, or semisimple and to study the convergence to these lim…

Lie nilpotency indices of symmetric elements under oriented involutions in group algebras

Let $G$ be a group and let $F$ be a field of characteristic different from 2. Denote by $(FG)^+$ the set of symmetric elements and by $\mathcal{U}^+(FG)$ the set of symmetric units, under an oriented classical involution of the group algebra $FG$. We give some lower and upper bounds on the Lie nilpotency index of $(FG)^+$ and the nilpotency class of $\mathcal{U}^+(FG)$.
