A supercharacter theory for the Sylow p-subgroups of the finite symplectic and orthogonal groups

CAM André, AM Neto - Journal of Algebra, 2009 - Elsevier
We define the superclasses for a classical finite unipotent group U of type Bn (q), Cn (q), or
Dn (q), and show that, together with the supercharacters defined in [CAM André, AM Neto …

[HTML][HTML] Supercharacters of unipotent groups defined by involutions

S Andrews - Journal of Algebra, 2015 - Elsevier
We construct supercharacter theories of finite unipotent groups in the orthogonal, symplectic
and unitary types. Our method utilizes group actions in a manner analogous to that of …

Supercharacter theories constructed by the method of little groups

S Andrews - Communications in Algebra, 2016 - Taylor & Francis
The “method of little groups” describes the irreducible characters of semidirect products with
abelian normal subgroups in terms of the irreducible characters of the factor groups. We …

[HTML][HTML] A supercharacter theory for involutive algebra groups

CAM André, PJ Freitas, AM Neto - Journal of Algebra, 2015 - Elsevier
If J is a finite-dimensional nilpotent algebra over a finite field k, the algebra group P= 1+ J
admits a (standard) supercharacter theory as defined in [16]. If J is endowed with an …

The Hopf monoid on nonnesting supercharacters of pattern groups

S Andrews - Journal of Algebraic Combinatorics, 2015 - Springer
We construct supercharacter theories for a collection of unipotent matrix groups and produce
a Hopf monoid from the supercharacters. These supercharacter theories are coarser than …

Strong forms of linearization for Hopf monoids in species

E Marberg - Journal of Algebraic Combinatorics, 2015 - Springer
A vector species is a functor from the category of finite sets with bijections to vector spaces;
informally, one can view this as a sequence of S_n S n-modules. A Hopf monoid (in the …

Combinatorial Hopf algebra of superclass functions of type D

C Benedetti - Journal of Algebraic Combinatorics, 2013 - Springer
We provide a Hopf algebra structure on the space of superclass functions on the unipotent
upper triangular group of type D over a finite field based on a supercharacter theory …

On the characters of the Sylow

F Himstedt, T Le, K Magaard - LMS Journal of Computation and …, 2016 - cambridge.org
Let UYn (q) be a Sylow p-subgroup of an untwisted Chevalley group Yn (q) of rank n defined
over Fq where q is a power of a prime p. We partition the set Irr (UYn (q)) of irreducible …

Decomposing André-Neto supercharacters of Sylow p-subgroups of Lie type D

M Jedlitschky - 2013 - elib.uni-stuttgart.de
It is well known that the classification of irreducible characters for the group of upper
unitriangular nx n-matrices over a finite field with q elements, denoted U_n (q), is a" wild" …

Actions and identities on set partitions

E Marberg - arXiv preprint arXiv:1107.4173, 2011 - arxiv.org
A labeled set partition is a partition of a set of integers whose arcs are labeled by nonzero
elements of an abelian group $ A $. Inspired by the action of the linear characters of the …
