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 $C_G(g)$ ...

Finite subgroups of $\mathrm{SO}(n)$ and $\mathrm{O}(n)$
Question 1:Is there a reference that lists all possible finite subgroups and their orders of $\mathrm{SO}(n)$ and $\mathrm{O}(n)$ for $n=4$ or even higher $n$ over the real numbers?
I can only find ...

cohomology of finite groups of lie type with coefficients in the adjoint module
Let $\mathbb G$ be a connected, semisimple, split group over a finite field $\mathbb F_q$ and let $G = \mathbb G(\mathbb F_q)$. Let $\mathfrak g$ be its Lie algebra, an $\mathbb F_q$-vector space with ...

Reference request: Models of cuspidal representations of GL(n,k) where k is a finite field
Let $k=\mathbb{F}_q$ where $q$ is a prime power of odd cardinality.
Where could I find explicit models of all irreducible cuspidal (complex) representations of $GL_n(k)$ for $n\ge 3$?
I understand ...

Geodesics in finite groups
It seems that I can generalize a result from compact, connected Lie groups to finite groups, but in order to do so, I need to have some kind of geodesics on finite groups.
Below is a proposition for ...
