TL;DR: The problem der Berechnung der Charaktertafel is somit zuruckgefuhrt auf die Bestimmung aller Werte der unipotenten Charaktere der einfachen Gruppen vom Lie-Typ.
Abstract: .Alle endlichen Gruppen vom Lie-Typ besitzen eine ausgezeichnete Menge von irreduziblen komplexen Charakteren, die von Lusztig eingefuhrten unipotenten Charaktere. Diese werden fulr einen vorgegebenen Typ unabhangig vom zugrunde liegenden Korper klassifiziert. Aufgrund der ebenfalls von Lusztig bewiesenen Jordan-Zerlegung der irreduziblen komplexen Charaktere laiit sich die Charaktertafel einer jeden endlichen Gruppe G vom Lie-Typ im wesentlichen zusammenbauen, wenn man die unipotenten Charaktere der halbeinfachen Anteile der Zentralisatoren aller halbeinfachen Elemente in G kennt. Das Problem der Berechnung der Charaktertafel ist somit zuruckgefuhrt auf die Bestimmung aller Werte der unipotenten Charaktere der einfachen Gruppen vom Lie-Typ.

TL;DR: In this paper, the r-modular Brauer character of the special unitary groups SU(3, q2) for odd primes r not dividing q is studied.
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to study the r-modular Brauer character of the special unitary groups SU(3, q2) for odd primes r not dividing q. It turns out that we encounter unexpected difficulties in the principal r-block in the case r‖q + 1. Some ways are described how to attack this problem, which are at least sufficient to solve the problem for an infinite number of prime powers q.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors define equiprime near-rings, which are another generalization of primeness in rings, and prove that if a ring is a near-ring and A ⊲ B ⊆ N such that B/A is equip-rime, then A⊲ N is a Kurosh-Amitsur radicial for which holds for all ideals I of N. Moreover, where j 3 is the Jacobson-type radical with equality if N has the descending chain condition on N-subgroups.
Abstract: The usual definition of primeness for near-rings does not lead to a Kurosh-Amitsur radical class for zerosymmetric near-rings (cf. Kaarli and Kriis[5]). In this paper, we define equiprime near-rings, which are another generalization of primeness in rings. Various results are proved, amongst others, for zerosymmetric near-rings:If N is a near-ring and A ⊲ B ⊲ N such that B/A is equiprime, then A ⊲ N. We define . Then p∗ is a Kurosh-Amitsur radicial for which holds for all ideals I of N. Moreover , where j 3 is the Jacobson-type radical which was introduced by Holcombe, with equality if N has the descending chain condition on N-sub-groups.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the action of super vertex operators is constructed for a 2l-dimensional C-vector space A. The super vertex operator A V,Z : V→V[[z,z-1]] for each element v of the Fock space V. The most important property of the super vertex operation is the associative law.
Abstract: In this paper, we construct the action of super vertex operators In section 1, we construct a Fock space V for a 2l-dimensional C-vector space A. In physics, V appears as the Fock space of Neveu-Schwarz model of dual poins. See Neveu-Schwarz [5]. In mathematics, V appears as the spin representation space of the affine Lie algebra&ŝ2l. See Frenkel [2] and [3]. In section 2, we define a super vertex operator A V,Z : V→V[[z,z-1]] for each element v of the Fock space V. The most important property of the super vertex operators is the so-called associative law. Using this law, we can see that the coefficients v n : V→V in A v,z span a Lie superalgebra and explicitly write down the Lie superbackets in section 3. It is a huge Lie superalgebra called the vertex operator superalgebra of A.


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors continue their investigation of loops which give rise to alternative loop rings, and describe many properties of this class, including diverse examples of Moufang loops which are united by the fact that they have loop rings which are alternative, and discuss analogues in loop theory of a number of important group theoretic constructions.
Abstract: In this paper, the authors continue their investigation of loops which give rise to alternative loop rings. If the coefficient ring has characteristic 2, these loops turn out to form a surprisingly wide class, in contrast to the situation of characteristic ≠ 2. This paper describes many properties of this class, includes diverse examples of Moufang loops which are united by the fact that they have loop rings which are alternative, and discusses analogues in loop theory of a number of important group theoretic constructions.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that if the orbit is not (Zariski) closed, then a point in the closure always arises from a deformation. And the role of cohomology is also discussed in deformation and degeneration problems.
Abstract: The purpose of this research-expository paper is to clarify some of the similarities and differences between “orbit closure” and “deformations” . In Section 1 a common formulation for deformation and degeneration is presented. In particular, it is shown that if the orbit is not (Zariski) closed, then a point in the closure always arises from a deformation. In Section 2, the concept of versal deformation is introduced. It is shown that in the case of degeneration there exists a universal element. In Section 3 two definitions of “rigidity” are discussed. It is proved that in the case of Lie algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, these two definitions are equivalent. The role of cohomology is also discussed in deformation and degeneration problems.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that elementary abelian groups acting quadratically act in weak-closure arguments, pushing-up problems and in problems dealing with parabolic systems.
Abstract: Let G he a finite group and V a faithful, finite dimensional GF 2 G-module. We call E ≤G quadratic,if[V,E,E]=1 and |E|≥4, and we say V is quadratic, if G is generated by its quadratic subgroups. It is an easy exercise, but important for what follows, to show that E has to be elementary abelian. Elementary abelian groups acting quadratically come up quite naturally in weak-closure arguments, pushing-up problems and in problems dealing with parabolic systems. As a successor of [MS] we treat the case that G is a sporadic simple group or an alternating group.
