Why do these finite group Dedekind matrices seem to have integer spectrum when specialized to the order of group elements?
Let $p$ be a prime and let $f_p$ be the permutation on the set $\{1,2,\cdots,p-1\}$ which is given by taking inverses in $\mathbb{Z}/(p)$:
$$x \bmod(p) \mapsto \frac{1}{x} \bmod (p)$$
So for instance, ...

What is the Hilbert class field of a cyclotomic field?
In the answers to Qiaochu's post on defining representations of finite groups over the algebraic integers, it came out that which fields a representation of a finite group is defined over might depend ...

How does one compute induced representations for modular representations?
The set-up is this: Let $G$ be a finite group, and $H$ a subgroup. We are given an irreducible representation of $H, \rho: H\rightarrow GL_n(K)$ (I will notationally identify $\rho$ with its character)...

Is any abelian subgroup of a semidirect product isomorphic to a direct product of abelian subgroups? [closed]
Let $H$ and $K$ be groups and $V$ an abelian subgroup of the semidirect
product $\ H\rtimes K$. Do there exist abelian subgroups $H^{\prime }\leq H$
\ and $K^{\prime }\leq K$ \ such that $V\cong H^{\...

Can we glue characteristic 0 and characteristic p representations of a finite group given equality of (Brauer) characters?
Suppose I have a prime $p$ and a finite group $G$ together with representations $\sigma: G \to GL_n(\mathbb{Q}_p)$ and $\pi: G \to GL_n(\mathbb{F}_p)$. My question is:
When does there exist a ...

Tell me an algebraic integer that isn't an eigenvalue of the sum of two permutations
Can you tell me an algebraic integer, with all archimedean absolute values less than 2, which is not an eigenvalue of $\pi_1 + \pi_2$ for any two permutation matrices $\pi_1,\pi_2$?
Is it ...

Structure of Deligne-Lusztig representations $R_{T,\theta}$ for ministropic $T$ and cuspidal representations
Let $G$ be a reductive group over a finite field $k$, let $F$ be a Frobenius morphism on $G$.
I'll start with a somewhat vague question and make my question more specific further down:
How do ...

Localized at $p$ integral representations of finite elementary $p$-groups
Let $C_p$ be a cyclic group of prime order $p$.
Let $F=C_p^n=C_p\times\dots\times C_p$ ($n$ times).
I would like to to classify finite dimensional representations of $F$ over ${\mathbb{Z}}$.
However, ...

Wedderburn's theorem for $\mathbb{Q}G$
Let $G$ be a finite group and let $\mathbb{Q}G=M_{n_1}(D_1)\times\cdots\times M_{n_k}(D_k)$ be the decomposition of $\mathbb{Q}G$ as a product of rings of matrices over divisions rings. Let $Z_i$ be ...
