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 $C_G(g)$ ...

Number of irreducible representations of $SO_3(\mathfrak{o}/\mathfrak{p}^l)$

$\DeclareMathOperator\SO{SO}$Let $F$ be a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$, and let $\mathfrak{o}$ denote the ring of integers, with maximal ideal $\mathfrak{p}$. Let $G_l$ denote the finite group $\...

Decomposing representations of GL(n,F_q) induced from certain kinds of parabolics

The answer to the question below is almost certainly known to the representation theorists; in fact, I'm pretty sure it can be extracted from Green's paper "The characters of the finite general linear ...

Principal series of finite group of Lie type

I have a naive question on complex representations of finite groups of Lie type. Let $\bf G$ be a reductive group (say connected, with connected center, for safety) defined over a finite field $\...

Parabolic induction GL(n,Zp)

Let $P$ be a parabolic subgroup of $GL(n)$ with Levi decomposition $P =MN$, where $N$ is the unipotent radical. Let $\pi$ be an irreducible representation of $M(\mathbf{Z}_p)$ inflated to $P(\mathbf{...
