Are the reductions of the cuspidal characters of GL2(Fq) distinct?

Let $p$ be an odd prime and $q=p^n$ for some $n \geq 1$. If $\mathbb{F}_q$ is the unique, up to isomorphism, finite field with $q$ elements then the cuspidal representations of the group $\rm{GL}_2(\...

Is there a roadmap to learning representation theory of finite group over finite field?

I've been wanted to learn some basic theories of the (non-semisimple) representation of the finite group over a finite field. I have been guessing that the materials might be contained in the books on ...

Which algebras of quaternion type do appear as blocks of group algebras?

A finite dimensional algebra $A$ is said to be of quaternion type (first defined by Erdmann?) when it is tame, symmetric and connected and furthermore the Cartan matrix is nonsingular and the stable ...

Endomorphism ring of trivial source modules for abelian p-groups

Bernhard Böhmler  (who is also on MO) and myself had the following idea: Let $G$ be a finite group and $k$ a field of characteristic $p$ (algebraically closed when it is needed) such that $p$ divides ...

Question concerning Brauer's second main theorem, Brauer correspondent blocks and blocks covered by nilpotent blocks

A version of Brauer's second main theorem is as follows: Let $G$ be a finite group, $x$ be a $p$-element of $G$, $B\in\mathcal{Bl}(G)$, and $\chi\in$ Irr$(B)$. If $d_{\chi\mu}^x\neq 0$ and $\mu$ ...
