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 \...

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 ...

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-...
