Answering a question of I. M. Isaacs, we show that the largest degree of irreducible complex representations of any finite non-abelian simple group can be bounded in terms of the smaller degrees. We also study the asymptotic behavior of this largest degree for finite groups of Lie type. Moreover, we show that for groups of Lie type, the Steinberg character has largest degree among all unipotent characters.

We classify all triples $(G,V,H)$ such that $SL_n(q)leq Gleq GL_n(q)$, $V$ is a representation of $G$ of dimension greater than one over an algebraically closed field $FF$ of characteristic coprime to $q$, and $H$ is a proper subgroup of $G$ such that the restriction $Vdar_{H}$ is irreducible. This problem is a natural part of the Aschbacher-Scott program on maximal subgroups of finite classical groups.
In the 40s, Mayer introduced a construction of (simplicial) $p$-complex by using the unsigned boundary map and taking coefficients of chains modulo $p$. We look at such a $p$-complex associated to an $(n-1)$-simplex; in which case, this is also a $p$-complex of representations of the symmetric group of rank $n$ - specifically, of permutation modules associated to two-row compositions. In this article, we calculate the so-called slash homology - a homology theory introduced by Khovanov and Qi - of such a $p$-complex. We show that every non-trivial slash homology group appears as an irreducible representation associated to two-row partitions, and how this calculation leads to a basis of these irreducible representations given by the so-called $p$-standard tableaux.
In this paper, we answer affirmatively a question of H S Sim on representations in characteristic $0$, for a class of metabelian groups. Moreover, we provide examples to point out that the analogous answer is no longer valid if the solvable group has derived length larger than 2. Let $F$ be a field of characteristic $0$ and $overline{F}$ be its algebraic closure. We prove that if $G$ is a finite metabelian group containing a maximal abelian normal subgroup which is a p-group with abelian quotient, all possible faithful irreducible representations over $F$ have the same degree and that the Schur index of any faithful irreducible $overline{F}$-representation with respect to $F$ is always $1$ or $2$. H S Sim had proven such a result for metacyclic groups when the characteristic of $F$ is positive and posed the question in characteristic $0$. Our result answers this question for the above class of metabelian groups affirmatively. We also determine explicitly the Wedderburn component corresponding to any faithful irreducible $overline{F}$-representation in the group algebra $F[G]$.
We classify the irreducible representations of smooth, connected affine algebraic groups over a field, by tackling the case of pseudo-reductive groups. We reduce the problem of calculating the dimension for pseudo-split pseudo-reductive groups to the split reductive case and the pseudo-split pseudo-reductive commutative case. Moreover, we give the first results on the latter, including a rather complete description of the rank one case.
This paper is concerned with integrals which integrands are the monomials of matrix elements of irreducible representations of classical groups. Based on analysis on Young tableaux, we discuss some related duality theorems and compute the asymptotics of the group integrals when the signatures of the irreducible representations are fixed, as the rank of the classical groups go to infinity. These group integrals have physical origins in quantum mechanics, quantum information theory, and lattice Gauge theory.
