Connection between two theorems on character values?
In a recent arXiv preprint here, Dipendra Prasad has revisited a 1976 theorem of Kostant (Theorem 2 in the paper On Macdonald's $\eta$-function formula, the Laplacian and generalized exponents, ...

Brauer characters of finite simple group $E_8(5)$
I would like to find the irreducible characters of the group $E_8(5)$ (mod 2)?
Can anyone help? (I am elementary in working with Brauer characters)
Many thanks

The compact Lie group contains a finite subgroup $\mathbb{Z}_{n_1} \times \mathbb{Z}_{n_2} \times \mathbb{Z}_{n_3}$
Given a finite Abelian group: $G=\mathbb{Z}_{n_1} \times \mathbb{Z}_{n_2} \times \mathbb{Z}_{n_3}$, where ${n_1},{n_2},{n_3}$ are arbitrary positive integers. ${n_1},{n_2},{n_3}$ may have or may not ...

Finite subgroups of compact simple Lie groups [duplicate]
The finite subgroups of $SU(2)$ consist of the symmetry groups of the Platonic solids plus the finite subgroups of $O(2)$. I would like to know if there are any results concerning $SU(3)$. In ...

Extension of the Weyl dimension formula
Let $G$ be a compact semisimple group and let $\Gamma$ be a finite subgroup of $G$. I am interested, for $(\pi,V)\in \widehat G$ (irred rep of $G$), in a formula for $\mathrm{dim} V^\Gamma$, the ...

The action of graph automorphism of finite symplectic group on maximal subgroups
Let $G=Sp(4,2^f)$ with $f>1$. Based on the facts when $f$ is small, I would feel the following:
$G$ has two conjugacy classes of subgroups isomorphic to $SO^+(4,2^f)$. One is in Aschbacher's class ...

Finite subgroups of $PGL(3,K)$
It is well-known that finite subgroups of $PGL_2(\mathbb{C})$ are cyclic groups, dihedral groups, A4, S4 and A5 and each of these groups occurs exactly once (up to conjugacy). These facts are ...

How to find the normalizer of a finite subroup in a Lie group?
If a group $G$ is generated by finitely many subgroups $G_i$ and $H$ a subgroup of $G$, under which conditions can $N_G(K)$, the normalizer of $K$ in $G$, be generated by all the normailizers $N_{G_i}(...

Which groups have only real and quaternionic irreducible representations?
Consider a continuous irreducible representation of a compact Lie group on a finite-dimensional complex Hilbert space. There are three mutually exclusive options:
1) it's not isomorphic to its dual (...
