In this paper we provide a geometric framework for the study of characters of depth-zero representations of unramified groups over local fields with finite residue fields which is built directly on Lusztig's theory of character sheaves for groups over finite fields. We introduce depth-zero character sheaves, which are coefficient systems of ℓ-adic sheaves on Bruhat-Tits buildings for p-adic gro...

We obtain formulae and estimates for character sums of the type S(χ, f, pm) = ∑pm x=1 χ(f(x)), where p m is a prime power with m ≥ 2, χ is a multiplicative character (mod pm), and f = f1/f2 is a rational function over Z. In particular, if p is odd, d = deg(f1) + deg(f2) and d∗ = max(deg(f1), deg(f2)) then we obtain |S(χ, f, pm)| ≤ (d− 1)pm(1− 1 d∗ ) for any non constant f (mod p) and primitive ...

We assume that the “table head” of the ordinary character table of the sporadic simple Janko group J4 is known. That is, the conjugacy classes and their centralizer orders are known as well as all p-th power maps, for primes p up to the maximal element order in J4, which is 66. For the sake of simplicity, we take the table head of the character table contained in the GAP Character Table Library...

we show that the character space of the vector-valued lipschitz algebra $lip^{alpha}(x, e)$ of order $alpha$ is homeomorphic to the cartesian product $xtimes m_e$ in the product topology, where $x$ is a compact metric space and $e$ is a unital commutative banach algebra. we also characterize the form of each character on $lip^{alpha}(x, e)$. by appealing to the injective tensor product, we then...

for a finite group $g$‎, ‎we study the total character $tau_g$‎ ‎afforded by the direct sum of all the non-isomorphic irreducible‎ ‎complex representations of $g$‎. ‎we resolve for several classes of‎ ‎groups (the camina $p$-groups‎, ‎the generalized camina $p$-groups‎, ‎the groups which admit $(g,z(g))$ as a generalized camina pair)‎, ‎the problem of existence of a‎ ‎polynomial $f(x) in mathbb...

objective : identification of the risk factors and psychological correlates of prolonged grief disorder is vital for health promotions in relatives of persons who died of cancer. the aim of this research was to investigate the role of defense mechanisms, character dimension of personality and demographic factors on complicated grief following a loss of a family member to cancer. method : a numb...
