Character correspondences in blocks with normal defect groups
Abstract In this paper we give an extension of the Glauberman correspondence to certain characters of blocks with normal defect groups.
On Brauer’s Height Zero Conjecture
In this paper, the unproven half of Richard Brauer’s Height Zero Conjecture is reduced to a question on simple groups.
A reduction theorem for the Galois–McKay conjecture
We introduce H {\mathcal {H}} -triples and a partial order relation on them, generalizing the theory of ordering character triples developed by Navarro and Späth. This generalization takes into account the action of Galois automorphisms on characters and, together with previous results of Ladisch and Turull, allows us to reduce the Galois–McKay conjecture to a question about simple groups.
Brauer characters and coprime action
Abstract It is an open problem to show that under a coprime action, the number of invariant Brauer characters of a finite group is the number of the Brauer characters of the fixed point subgroup. We prove that this is true if the non-abelian simple groups satisfy a stronger condition.
On fully ramified Brauer characters
Let Z be a normal subgroup of a finite group, let p≠5 be a prime and let λ∈IBr(Z) be an irreducible G-invariant p-Brauer character of Z. Suppose that λG=eφ for some φ∈IBr(G). Then G/Z is solvable. In other words, a twisted group algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic not 5 with a unique class of simple modules comes from a solvable group.
Coprime actions and correspondences of Brauer characters
We prove several results giving substantial evidence in support of the conjectural existence of a Glauberman–Isaacs bijection for Brauer characters under a coprime action. We also discuss related bijections for the McKay conjecture.
