  1. Dade's Invariant Conjecture for the Ree groups 2F4(q^2) in Defining Characteristic.

    Abstract

    We verify Dade's invariant conjecture for the simple Ree groups 2F4(2^{2n+1})
    for all n > 0 in the defining characteristic, i.e., in characteristic 2. This
    completes the proof of Dade's conjecture for the simple Ree groups
    2F4(2^{2n+1}).

  2. On the restriction of cross characteristic representations of ^2F_4(q) to proper subgroups.

    Abstract

    We prove that the restriction of any nontrivial representation of the Ree
    groups $^2F_{4}(q), q=2^{2n+1}\geq8$ in odd characteristic to any proper
    subgroup is reducible. We also determine all triples $(K, V, H)$ such that $K
    \in \{^2F_4(2), ^2F_4(2)'\}$, $H$ is a proper subgroup of $K$, and $V$ is a
    representation of $K$ in odd characteristic restricting absolutely irreducibly
    to $H$.

  3. On the Decomposition Numbers of the Ree Groups 2F4(q^2) in Non-Defining Characteristic.

    Abstract

    We compute the l-modular decomposition matrices of the simple Ree groups
    2F4(q^2), where q^2=2^{2n+1} and n is a positive integer, for all primes l > 3
    up to some entries in the unipotent characters. Using these matrices we
    determine the smallest degree of a non-trivial irreducible l-modular
    representation of 2F4(q^2) for all primes l > 3. We also obtain results on the
    3-modular decomposition matrices of 2F4(q^2).

    We compute the l-modular decomposition matrices of the simple Ree groups
    2F4(q^2), where q^2=2^{2n+1} and n is a positive integer, for all primes l > 3
    up to some entries in the unipotent characters. Using these matrices we
    determine the smallest degree of a non-trivial irreducible l-modular
    representation of 2F4(q^2) for all primes l > 3. We also obtain results on the
    3-modular decomposition matrices of 2F4(q^2).

  5. On equivariant bijections relative to the defining characteristic.

    Authors: Olivier Brunat, Frank Himstedt

    Abstract

    This paper is a contribution to the general program introduced by Isaacs,
    Malle and Navarro to prove the McKay conjecture in the representation theory of
    finite groups. We develop new methods for dealing with simple groups of Lie
    type in the defining characteristic case. Using a general argument based on the
    representation theory of connected reductive groups with disconnected center,
    we show that the inductive McKay condition holds if the Schur multiplier of the
    simple group has order 2.
