Spin character-square conjecture for double covers of alternating groups
Spin character-square conjecture for double covers of alternating groups
Let be the double cover of the alternating group , and let denote its irreducible characters. A character is called spin when it is faithful, and a character is non-faithful when it factors through . Spin character-square conjecture. For any , there is a spin character whose square contains all non-faithful . GAP data through provides evidence, and the source notes that the proportion of spin characters with the stated property appears to grow with ; the general assertion remains open.
