Branching rules for modular representations of symmetric groups, II.
If is a non-cyclic finite group, non-isomorphic -sets may give rise to isomorphic permutation representations . Equivalently, the map from the Burnside ring to the rational representation ring of has a kernel. Its elements are called Brauer relations, and the purpose of this paper is to classify them in all finite groups, extending the Tornehave–Bouc classification in the case of -groups.
We introduce in this article a new method to calculate all absolute and relatif primitive invariants of finite groups. This method is inspired from K. Girstmair which calculate an absolute primitive invariant of minimal degree. Are presented two algorithms, the first one enable us to calculate all primitive invariants of minimal degree, and the second one calculate all absolute or relative primitive invariants with distincts coefficients. This work take place in Galois Theory and Invariant Theory. ...
Imitating the approach of canonical induction formulas we derive a formula that expresses every character of the symmetric group as an integer linear combination of Young characters. It is different from the well-known formula that uses the determinantal form.
A finite group G is called a gap group if there exists an ℝG-module which has no large isotropy groups except at zero and satisfies the gap condition. The gap condition facilitates the process of equivariant surgery. Many groups are gap groups and also many groups are not. In this paper, we clarify the relation between a gap group and the structures of its centralizers. We show that a nonsolvable group which has a normal, odd prime power index proper subgroup is a gap group.
Let be the wreath product of a compact group T with the infinite symmetric group . We study the characters of factor representations of finite type of G, and give a formula which expresses all the characters explicitly.
