A stronger version of a problem of Kenneth Brown using representations
Let $G$ be a finite group and $\mathcal{L}(G)$ its subgroup lattice. Let $\mu$ be the Möbius function on $\mathcal{L}(G)$.
The reduced Euler characteristic of the order complex of the coset poset $\{ ...

Is a boolean interval of finite groups linearly primitive?
Let $[H,G]$ be an interval of finite groups.
Definition: Let $W$ be a representation of $G$, and $X$ a subspace of $W$.
Let the fixed-point subspace $W^{H}:=\{w \in W \ \vert \ kw=w \ , \forall h \...

Are the distributive permutation groups linearly primitive?
An action of a group $G$ on a set $X \neq \emptyset$ is called transitive if $\forall x,y \in X$, $\exists g \in G$ such that $g.x = y$.
It is called primitive if it is transitive and preserves no non-...

Is there a nonabelian finite simple group with Grothendieck ring of multiplicity one?
Let $G$ be a finite group. It admits finitely many irreducible complex representations $H_1, \dots, H_r$ which generate, for $\oplus$ and $\otimes$, the Grothendieck ring $\mathcal{G}(G)$ of $G$ (also ...

A global code for the character table of PSL(2,q)
We can easily get the character table of $\mathrm{PSL}(2,q)$ for some fixed small prime power $q$, we can just do (for example):
