On Schur Rings Over Semigroups
Joseph E. Marrow, Andrew Misseldine
We generalize the idea of a Schur ring of a group to the category of semigroups. Fundamental results of Schur rings over groups are shown to be true for Schur rings over semigroups…
Strong Gelfand pairs of the sporadic groups and their extensions
Joseph E. Marrow
A strong Gelfand pair is a finite group and a subgroup where every irreducible character of induces to a multiplicity-free character of . We determine the s…
The strong Gelfand pairs of the Suzuki family of groups
Joseph E. Marrow
We find every subgroup so that the pair is a strong Gelfand pair.
The Solution to the Game of Tak
Joseph E. Marrow
We provide answers to natural combinatorial questions which arise from learning the rules to Tak. We solve the discarded cases of the game not previously considered by…
Strong Gelfand Pairs of the Symplectic Group where is even
Stephen P. Humphries, Joseph E. Marrow
A strong Gelfand pair is a finite group together with a subgroup such that every irreducible character of induces to a multiplicity-free character of . We cl…
Strong Gelfand Pairs of the Dihedral and Dicyclic Groups
Joseph E. Marrow
A strong Gelfand pair is a finite group and a subgroup where every irreducible character of induces to a multiplicity-free character of . We determine the s…
