About this Mathematics article

Equivariant character correspondences and inductive McKay condition for type A by Marc Cabanes; Britta Späth is a Mathematics article available to read on EtoBox.

## Abstract As a step to establish the McKay conjecture on character degrees of finite groups, we verify the inductive McKay condition introduced by Isaacs–Malle–Navarro for simple groups of Lie type A n - 1 {\mathsf{A}\_{n-1}} , split or twisted. Key to the proofs is the study of certain characters of SL n ⁢ ( q ) {{\mathrm{SL}}\_{n}(q)} and SU n ⁢ ( q ) {{\mathrm{SU}}\_{n}(q)} related to generalized Gelfand–Graev representations. As a by-product we can show that a Jordan decomposition for the characters of the latter groups is equivariant under outer automorphisms. Many ideas seem applicable to other Lie types.

It is typically read by researchers, students, and practitioners in Mathematics.
