We study the finite groups G with a faithful irreducible character whose square is a linear combination of algebraically conjugate irreducible characters of G. In conclusion, we offer another proof of one theorem of Isaacs-Zisser. There are a few papers treating the finite groups possessing an irreducible character whose powers are linear combinations of appropriate irreducible characters, for ...

This paper gives a method for computing values of certain nonabelian Artin ¿-functions in the complex plane. These Artin ¿-functions are attached to irreducible characters of degree 2 of Galois groups of certain normal extensions K of Q. These fields K are the ones for which G = Gal(.KyQ) has an abelian subgroup A of index 2, whose fixed field Q(\/d) is complex, and such that there is a a S G —...

Abstract Let $\widetilde G$ be the nonlinear double cover of real points a connected, simply semisimple complex group. In [16], we introduce set genuine small representations with infinitesimal character $\lambda $, denoted $\prod _\lambda ^s (\widetilde G)$. this paper, show that _{\rho /2} G)$ is precisely irreducible arising from Kazhdan–Patterson lifting trivial representation, when laced a...

Much can be learned about a finite group from its character table, but sometimes that table can be difficult to compute. Supercharacter theories are generalizations of character theory, defined by P. Diaconis and I.M. Isaacs in [8], in which certain (possibly reducible) characters called supercharacters take the place of the irreducible characters, and a certain coarser partition of the group t...

We give character formulae for the positive energy unitary irreducible representations of the N-extended D=4 conformal superalgebras su(2,2/N). Using these we also derive decompositions of long superfields as they descend to the unitarity threshold. These results are also applicable to irreps of the complex Lie superalgebras sl(4/N). Our derivations use results from the representation theory of...

Denote by S the 2-dimensional projective special linear group PSL2(q) over the field of q elements. We determine, for all values of q > 3, the degrees of the irreducible complex characters of every group H such that S 6 H 6 Aut(S). Explicit knowledge of the character tables of PSL2(q) and PGL2(q) is used along with standard Clifford theory to obtain the degrees.
