GR2W02 - Simple groups, representations and applications

We will discuss relations between the number of conjugacy classes of a finite group and that of proper subgroups. On the way, we’ll encounter the so-called almost abelian groups (a term coined by J. Thompson). We then connect this to obtaining estimates for the number of Brauer characters in a Brauer block of a finite group. This is joint work with Gabriel Navarro and Geoffrey Robinson.
