In this paper, we develop tools to show that certain representations are not fusion realizable in this sense. For example, we show, for $p=2$ or $3$ and $\\Gamma$ one of the Mathieu groups, that the only $\\mathbb{F}_p\\Gamma$-modules that are fusion realizable (up to extensions by trivial modules) are the Todd modules and in some cases their duals.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-09-30T11:09:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20D20", "20C20", "20D05", "20E45" ], "keywords": [ "representations", "nonrealizability", "fusion realizable", "todd modules", "mathieu groups" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
