Modular Conjectures for Direct Product of Finite Groups

Abstract

The representation theory of a finite group, G, is an important area of research currently. This paper studied the modular representation of finite groups, which are direct products. There are three approaches to studying this representation: the ring approach, the character approach, and the module approach. Moreover, we learned some of the important conjectures in this representation, which link a representation of a finite group and its local subgroups, which are normalizer non-trivial p-subgroups. These conjectures are the McKay conjecture, Alperin’s weight conjecture, and the ordinary weight conjecture. The main aim of the proposed paper was to investigate these conjectures of direct products, the direct summands of which satisfy these conjectures for the associated tensor product of the p-block. We obtained the results by assuming the conjectures are true. Then, we used the properties of the direct products.
