In which books we can find structure information for finite simple groups and their Schur covering groups?
In which books we can find representations or character tables, Sylow 2-subgroups and conjugacy classes for finite simple groups and their Schur covering groups and properties for Schur multiplier of ...

Centralizer bound for irreducible representations of $\operatorname{SU}_n(\mathbb{C})$
Let $G$ be a finite group, $χ$ be the character of an irreducible representation $V$ of $G$, and $g ∈ G$. Then a classical bound on the trace of $g$ is given by: $|χ(g)|² ≤ |C_G(g)|$, where $C_G(g)$ ...

A theory of (or reference for) symmetric point arrangements
I wonder where I can find something written on symmetric point arrangements (see definition below). I am interested in general references, preferably books that introduce (or papers that use) some ...

"Spectral gaps" of commutativity measure
There's a notion of commutativity measure $P(G)$ of a finite group $G$ which is probably folklore: count commuting pairs in $G \times G$ and divide by $|G \times G|$. There are some results:
$P(...

Classification of Automorphism set of a Regular graph
Let $A$ be the adjacency matrix of an $r$-regular graph $G$ with $n$ vertices (Not complete or cycle graph) . Also, let $Aut(G)$ be the set of all its automorphisms (i.e. set of permutation matrices)....

explicit matrices for Weil ($p^2$ dimensional) representation of $Sp(4,\mathbb{F}_p)$, $p>3$
I am looking for more-or-less explicit matrices for the $p^2$ dimensional Weil representation of $Sp(4,\mathbb{F}_p)$, suitable for computer implementation. Ideally, I would like the images of the ...

Isomorphism classes of finite $\mathbb{N}$-groups
Where can I find resources on isomorphism classes of finite $\mathbb{N}$-groups, i.e. groups acted on by the monoid $(\mathbb{N}, +)$?
I edited this question to be more focused on what I'm interested ...

Irreducible projective representations of finite abelian groups
I want to know if there is a description of all irreducible complex projective representations of an arbitrary finite abelian group. I have seen this for particular cases such as those given here and ...

Character table of $\mathrm{P\Gamma L}_2(q)$ with $q$ even
Let $q = 2^f$ for some integer $f\geqslant 3$. The character table of $\mathrm{SL}_2(q)\cong\mathrm{PSL}_2(q)$ can be deduced from the character table of $\mathrm{GL}_2(q)$ (see, for example, Exercise ...

Minimizing distance over finite group action
Let $G$ be a finite group and $V$ a unitary irreducible rep’n of dimension $N$. Is there a fast (polynomial in $\log|G|$) algorithm to compute $\displaystyle \min_{g \in G}d(x,gy)=\max_{g \in G} Re\...

Is there any research on the action of a subgroup on the whole finite group by conjugation?
I want to know whether there are any research on the orbits of the action of a subgroup by conjugation on the whole group, when the group is finite. (Especially whole symmetric group.)
I'm especially ...

Representations of finite groups over commutative rings-question and reference request
In a textbook of representation theory I have encountered the following statement without proof:
Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $G$ a finite group. If $M$ is a simple $RG$-module then the ...

Ireducible representations in characteristic p [duplicate]
It is known that the intersection of kernels of all ireducible representations of a finite group in characteristic zero is the trivial group.
In characteristic $p>0$ I have understood that this ...

Absolute irreducibility of a symmetric square?
This is a question I received today by email, which somebody more experienced with finite group representations can probably answer directly. Take $F:=\mathbb{F}_q$ for some prime power $q$, so $G:=\...
