NCTS(South)/ NCKU Math Colloquium

DATE 2011-03-28　14:10-15:00

PLACE R204, 2F, NCTS, NCKU

SPEAKER Prof Mark Lewis（Kent State Universtiy）

TITLE An overview of character degree graphs of finite groups

ABSTRACT We will show how to associate graphs with the set of character degrees of a finite group. Two obvious questions to ask are (1) what graphs arise this way and (2) if the graph $\Gamma$ is associated to the group $G$, what can be said about the structure of $G$? We will survey the known results and open questions regarding these questions. We will also show how these graphs can be applied to other results regarding character degrees.
