Modular representations of the hall-janko group

From MaRDI portal





Let \(\widehat J_2\) denote the universal covering group of the Hall-Janko sporadic simple group \(J_2\). The Brauer characters of simple \(\widehat J_2\)-modules have been determined in all characteristics by \textit{G. Hiss} and \textit{K. Lux} [Commun. Algebra 16, No. 2, 357-398 (1988; Zbl 0654.20007)]\ and by the reviewer [Algebra Logika 27, No. 5, 535-561 (1988; Zbl 0687.20007), ibid. 27, No. 6, 690-719 (1988; Zbl 0687.20008)]. The author continues to study the modular representations of \(\widehat J_2\). In particular, he determines all extensions of simple \(\widehat J_2\)-modules in characteristics 2, 3, and 5. Analogous results on the group \(\text{PSU}(3,3)\), which is isomorphic to a maximal subgroup of \(J_2\), are also included. In the most complicated case of characteristic 2, the calculations use the embedding \(J_2<G_2(4)\) and the representation theory of the algebraic group of type \(G_2\) over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 2 which was studied by \textit{M. F. Dowd} and the author [Commun. Algebra 24, No. 8, 2597-2686 (1996; Zbl 0856.20027)].
