<p>An ordinary SpinSym table has character parameters, that is, a list of suitable labels corresponding to the rows of <code class="code">ordtbl</code> and therefore the irreducible ordinary characters of the underlying group. See <code class="code">CharacterParameters()</code> in the GAP Reference Manual.</p>

<h5>2.2-1 <span class="Heading">Parameters of ordinary characters</span></h5>
<p>In the following, `ordinary (spin) character' is used synonymously for `irreducible ordinary (spin) character'. It is well known that there is a bijection between the set of ordinary characters of <span class="SimpleMath">\(Sym(n)\)</span> and the set <span class="SimpleMath">\(P(n)\)</span> of all partitions of <span class="SimpleMath">\(n\)</span>. Recall that a partition of a natural number <span class="SimpleMath">\(n\)</span> is a list of non-increasing positive integers (its <em>parts</em>) that sum up to <span class="SimpleMath">\(n\)</span>. In this way, every ordinary character <span class="SimpleMath">\(\chi\)</span> of <span class="SimpleMath">\(Sym(n)\)</span> has a label of the form <code class="code">[1,c]</code> where <code class="code">c</code> is a partition of <span class="SimpleMath">\(n\)</span>. The labels of the ordinary characters of <span class="SimpleMath">\(Alt(n)\)</span> are induced by Clifford theory as follows. Either the restriction <span class="SimpleMath">\(\psi=\chi|_{Alt(n)}\)</span> of <span class="SimpleMath">\(\chi\)</span> to <span class="SimpleMath">\(Alt(n)\)</span> is an ordinary character of <span class="SimpleMath">\(Alt(n)\)</span>, or <span class="SimpleMath">\(\psi\)</span> decomposes as the sum of two distinct ordinary characters <span class="SimpleMath">\(\psi_1\)</span> and <span class="SimpleMath">\(\psi_2\)</span>.</p>
<p>In the first case there is another ordinary character of <span class="SimpleMath">\(Sym(n)\)</span>, say <span class="SimpleMath">\(\xi\)</span> labelled by <code class="code">[1,d]</code>, such that the restriction of <span class="SimpleMath">\(\xi\)</span> to <span class="SimpleMath">\(Alt(n)\)</span> is equal to <span class="SimpleMath">\(\psi\)</span>. Moreover, the induced character of <span class="SimpleMath">\(Sym(n)\)</span> obtained from <span class="SimpleMath">\(\psi\)</span> decomposes as the sum of <span class="SimpleMath">\(\chi\)</span> and <span class="SimpleMath">\(\xi\)</span>. Then <span class="SimpleMath">\(\psi\)</span> is labelled by <code class="code">[1,c]</code> or <code class="code">[1,d]</code>.</p>
<p>In the second case, both <span class="SimpleMath">\(\psi_1\)</span> and <span class="SimpleMath">\(\psi_2\)</span> induce irreducibly up to <span class="SimpleMath">\(\chi\)</span>. Then <span class="SimpleMath">\(\psi_1\)</span> and <span class="SimpleMath">\(\psi_2\)</span> are labelled by <code class="code">[1,[c,'+']]</code> and <code class="code">[1,[c,'-']]</code>.</p>

<p>If <span class="SimpleMath">\(\chi\)</span> is an ordinary character of <span class="SimpleMath">\(2.Sym(n)\)</span> or <span class="SimpleMath">\(2.Alt(n)\)</span> , then <span class="SimpleMath">\(\chi(z)=\chi(1)\)</span> or <span class="SimpleMath">\(\chi(z)=-\chi(1)\)</span>. If <span class="SimpleMath">\(\chi(z)=\chi(1)\)</span>, then <span class="SimpleMath">\(\chi\)</span> is obtained by inflation (along the central subgroup generated by <span class="SimpleMath">\(z\)</span>) from an ordinary character of <span class="SimpleMath">\(Sym(n)\)</span> or <span class="SimpleMath">\(Alt(n)\)</span>, respectively, whose label is given to <span class="SimpleMath">\(\chi\)</span>. Otherwise, if <span class="SimpleMath">\(\chi\)</span> is a spin character, that is <span class="SimpleMath">\(\chi(z)=-\chi(1)\)</span>, then its label is described next.</p>
<p>The set of ordinary spin characters of <span class="SimpleMath">\(2.Sym(n)\)</span> is parameterized by the subset <span class="SimpleMath">\(D(n)\)</span> of <span class="SimpleMath">\(P(n)\)</span> of all distinct-parts partitions of <span class="SimpleMath">\(n\)</span> (also called bar partitions). If <code class="code">c</code> is an even distinct-parts partition of <span class="SimpleMath">\(n\)</span>, then there is a unique ordinary spin character of <span class="SimpleMath">\(2.Sym(n)\)</span> that is labelled by <code class="code">[2,c]</code>. In contrast, if <code class="code">c</code> is an odd distinct-parts partition of <span class="SimpleMath">\(n\)</span>, then there are two distinct ordinary spin characters of <span class="SimpleMath">\(2.Sym(n)\)</span> that are labelled by <code class="code">[2,[c,'+']]</code> and <code class="code">[2,[c,'-']]</code>. Now the labels of the ordinary spin characters of <span class="SimpleMath">\(2.Alt(n)\)</span> follow from the labels of <span class="SimpleMath">\(2.Sym(n)\)</span> in the same way as those of <span class="SimpleMath">\(Alt(n)\)</span> follow from the labels of <span class="SimpleMath">\(Sym(n)\)</span> (see the beginning of this subsection <a href="chap2_mj.html#X87BE0EFA878CA593"><span class="RefLink">2.2-1</span></a>).</p>

<h5>2.2-2 <span class="Heading">Parameters of modular characters</span></h5>
<p>In the following, `<span class="SimpleMath">\(p\)</span>-modular (spin) character' is used synonymously for `irreducible \(p\)-modular (spin) character'. The set of <span class="SimpleMath">\(p\)</span>-modular characters of <span class="SimpleMath">\(Sym(n)\)</span> is parameterized by the set of all <span class="SimpleMath">\(p\)</span>-regular partitions of <span class="SimpleMath">\(n\)</span>. A partition is <span class="SimpleMath">\(p\)</span>-regular if no part is repeated more than <span class="SimpleMath">\(p-1\)</span> times. Now every <span class="SimpleMath">\(p\)</span>-modular character <span class="SimpleMath">\(\chi\)</span> of <span class="SimpleMath">\(Sym(n)\)</span> has a label of the form <code class="code">[1,c]</code> where <code class="code">c</code> is a <span class="SimpleMath">\(p\)</span>-regular partition of <span class="SimpleMath">\(n\)</span>.</p>
<p>Again, the labels for the <span class="SimpleMath">\(p\)</span>-modular spin characters of <span class="SimpleMath">\(Alt(n)\)</span> follow from the labels of <span class="SimpleMath">\(Sym(n)\)</span>. However, comparing subsection <a href="chap2_mj.html#X87BE0EFA878CA593"><span class="RefLink">2.2-1</span></a>, their format is slightly different.</p>
<p>If <span class="SimpleMath">\(\chi\)</span> and <span class="SimpleMath">\(\xi\)</span> are distinct <span class="SimpleMath">\(p\)</span>-modular characters of <span class="SimpleMath">\(Sym(n)\)</span> that restrict to the same <span class="SimpleMath">\(p\)</span>-modular character <span class="SimpleMath">\(\psi\)</span> of <span class="SimpleMath">\(Alt(n)\)</span>, then <span class="SimpleMath">\(\psi\)</span> is labelled by <code class="code">[1,[c,'0']]</code> where either <span class="SimpleMath">\(\chi\)</span> or <span class="SimpleMath">\(\xi\)</span> is labelled by <code class="code">[1,c]</code>. If <span class="SimpleMath">\(\chi\)</span> is a <span class="SimpleMath">\(p\)</span>-modular character of <span class="SimpleMath">\(Sym(n)\)</span> whose restriction to <span class="SimpleMath">\(Alt(n)\)</span> decomposes as the sum of two distinct <span class="SimpleMath">\(p\)</span>-modular characters, then these are labelled by <code class="code">[1,[c,'+']]</code> and <code class="code">[1,[c,'-']]</code> where <span class="SimpleMath">\(\chi\)</span> is labelled by <code class="code">[1,c]</code>.</p>
<p>As in the ordinary case, the set of <span class="SimpleMath">\(p\)</span>-modular characters of <span class="SimpleMath">\(2.Sym(n)\)</span> is the union of the subset consisting of all inflated <span class="SimpleMath">\(p\)</span>-modular characters of <span class="SimpleMath">\(Sym(n)\)</span> and the subset of spin characters characterized by negative integer values on the central element <span class="SimpleMath">\(z\)</span>. The analogue statement holds for <span class="SimpleMath">\(2.Alt(n)\)</span>. The set of <span class="SimpleMath">\(p\)</span>-modular spin characters of <span class="SimpleMath">\(2.Sym(n)\)</span> is parameterized by the set of all restricted <span class="SimpleMath">\(p\)</span>-strict partitions of <span class="SimpleMath">\(n\)</span>. A partition is called <span class="SimpleMath">\(p\)</span>-strict if every repeated part is divisible by <span class="SimpleMath">\(p\)</span>, and a <span class="SimpleMath">\(p\)</span>-strict partition <span class="SimpleMath">\(\lambda\)</span> is restricted if <span class="SimpleMath">\(\lambda_i-\lambda_{i+1}<p\)</span> whenever <span class="SimpleMath">\(\lambda_i\)</span> is divisible <span class="SimpleMath">\(p\)</span>, and <span class="SimpleMath">\(\lambda_i-\lambda_{i+1}\leq p\)</span> otherwise for all parts <span class="SimpleMath">\(\lambda_i\)</span> of <span class="SimpleMath">\(\lambda\)</span> (where we set <span class="SimpleMath">\(\lambda_{i+1}=0\)</span> if <span class="SimpleMath">\(\lambda_i\)</span> is the last part). If <code class="code">c</code> is a restricted <span class="SimpleMath">\(p\)</span>-strict partition of <span class="SimpleMath">\(n\)</span> such that <span class="SimpleMath">\(n\)</span> minus the number of parts not divisible by <span class="SimpleMath">\(p\)</span> is even, then there is a unique <span class="SimpleMath">\(p\)</span>-modular spin character of <span class="SimpleMath">\(2.Sym(n)\)</span> that is labelled by <code class="code">[2,[c,'0']]</code>. Its restriction to <span class="SimpleMath">\(2.Alt(n)\)</span> decomposes as the sum of two distinct <span class="SimpleMath">\(p\)</span>-modular characters which are labelled by <code class="code">[2,[c,'+']]</code> and <code class="code">[2,[c,'-']]</code>. If <span class="SimpleMath">\(n\)</span> minus the number of parts of <code class="code">c</code> that are not divisible by <span class="SimpleMath">\(p\)</span> is odd, then there are two distinct <span class="SimpleMath">\(p\)</span>-modular spin characters of <span class="SimpleMath">\(2.Sym(n)\)</span> that are labelled by <code class="code">[2,[c,'+']]</code> and <code class="code">[2,[c,'-']]</code>. Both of these characters restrict to the same irreducible <span class="SimpleMath">\(p\)</span>-modular spin character of <span class="SimpleMath">\(2.Alt(n)\)</span> which is labelled by <code class="code">[2,[c,'0']]</code>.</p>

<h4>2.3 <span class="Heading">Class parameters</span></h4>
<p>Let <code class="code">ct</code> be an ordinary SpinSym table. Then <code class="code">ct</code> has a list of class parameters, that is, a list of suitable labels corresponding to the columns of <code class="code">ct</code> and therefore the conjugacy classes of the underlying group. See <code class="code">ClassParameters()</code> in the GAP Reference Manual. If <code class="code">bt</code> is a Brauer table in characteristic <span class="SimpleMath">\(p\)</span> relative to <code class="code">ct</code>, its class parameters are inherited from <code class="code">ct</code> in correspondence with the <span class="SimpleMath">\(p\)</span>-regular conjugacy classes of the underlying group.</p>
<p>Let <span class="SimpleMath">\(P(n)\)</span> denote the set of partitions of <span class="SimpleMath">\(n\)</span>.</p>
<p>The conjugacy classes of <span class="SimpleMath">\(Sym(n)\)</span> are naturally parameterized by the cycle types of their elements, and each cycle type corresponds to a partition of <span class="SimpleMath">\(n\)</span>. Therefore a conjugacy class <span class="SimpleMath">\(C\)</span> of <span class="SimpleMath">\(Sym(n)\)</span> is characterized by its <em>type</em> <span class="SimpleMath">\(c\)</span> in <span class="SimpleMath">\(P(n)\)</span>. The corresponding entry in the list of class parameters is <code class="code">[1,c]</code>. Assume that <span class="SimpleMath">\(C\)</span> is a subset of <span class="SimpleMath">\(Alt(n)\)</span>. Then <span class="SimpleMath">\(C\)</span> is also a conjugacy class of <span class="SimpleMath">\(Alt(n)\)</span> if and only if not all parts of <span class="SimpleMath">\(c\)</span> are odd and pairwise distinct. Otherwise, <span class="SimpleMath">\(C\)</span> splits as the union of two distinct <span class="SimpleMath">\(Alt(n)\)</span>-classes of the same size, <span class="SimpleMath">\(C^+\)</span> of type <span class="SimpleMath">\(c^+\)</span> and <span class="SimpleMath">\(C^-\)</span> of type <span class="SimpleMath">\(c^-\)</span>. The corresponding entries in the list of class parameters are <code class="code">[1,[c,'+']]</code> and <code class="code">[1,[c,'-']]</code>, respectively.</p>
<p>Furthermore, the preimage <span class="SimpleMath">\(C'=C^{{\pi^-1}}\) is either a conjugacy class of \(2.Sym(n)\) of type \(c\) with class parameter [1,c], or \(C'\)</span> splits as the union of two distinct <span class="SimpleMath">\(2.Sym(n)\)</span> -classes <span class="SimpleMath">\(C'_1\) and \(C'_2=zC'_1\) , both of type \(c\) with corresponding class parameters [1,c] and [2,c], respectively. An analogous description applies for the conjugacy classes of \(2.Alt(n)\) .

<p>To each conjugacy class of <span class="SimpleMath">\(2.Sym(n)\)</span> or <span class="SimpleMath">\(2.Alt(n)\)</span> a certain standard representative is assigned in the following way. Let <span class="SimpleMath">\(c=[c_1,c_2,\ldots,c_m]\)</span> be a partition of <span class="SimpleMath">\(n\)</span>.

<p class="center">\[t_c=t(c_1,d_1)t(c_2,d_2)...t(c_{m-1},d_{m-1}).\]</p>
<p>Furthermore, we define the standard representatives of type <span class="SimpleMath">\(c^+=\)</span><code class="code">[c,'+']</code> and <span class="SimpleMath">\(c^-=\)</span><code class="code">[c,'-']</code> to be <span class="SimpleMath">\(t_{c^+}=t_{c}\)</span> and <span class="SimpleMath">\(t_{c^-}=t_1^{-1}t_c t_1 \)</span>, respectively.</p>
<p>For example, the standard representative of type <span class="SimpleMath">\(c=[7,4,3,1]\)</span> in <span class="SimpleMath">\(P(15)\)</span> is</p>

<p>For integers <var class="Arg">k</var> and <var class="Arg">l</var> greater than <span class="SimpleMath">\(1\)</span> the function returns the ordinary character table of <span class="SimpleMath">\(2.(Alt(k){\times}Alt(l))\)</span>, <span class="SimpleMath">\(2.(Alt(k){\times}Sym(l))\)</span>, <span class="SimpleMath">\(2.(Sym(k){\times}Alt(l))\)</span>, or <span class="SimpleMath">\(2.(Sym(k){\times}Sym(l))\)</span> depending on the string <var class="Arg">type</var> being <code class="code">"Alternating"</code>, <code class="code">"AlternatingSymmetric"</code>, <code class="code">"SymmetricAlternating"</code>, or <code class="code">"Symmetric"</code>, respectively.</p>
<p>If <var class="Arg">type</var> is <code class="code">"Symmetric"</code> then the output is computed by means of Clifford's theory from the character tables of \(2.(Sym(k){\times}Alt(l))\), \(2.(Alt(k){\times}Alt(l))\), and \(2.(Alt(k){\times}Sym(l))\) (see [2, Section 5.2]). These `ingredients' are computed and then stored in the attribute <code class="code">SpinSymIngredients</code> so they can be accessed during the construction (and for the construction of a relative Brauer table too, see <code class="func">SpinSymBrauerTableOfMaximalYoungSubgroup</code> (<a href="chap2_mj.html#X849A37657F53BAE3"><span class="RefLink">2.4-2</span></a>)).</p>
<p>The construction of the character tables of <var class="Arg">type</var> <code class="code">"Alternating"</code>, <code class="code">"AlternatingSymmetric"</code>, or <code class="code">"SymmetricAlternating"</code> is straightforward and may be accomplished by first construcing a direct product, for example, the character table of <span class="SimpleMath">\(2.Sym(k){\times}2.Alt(l)\)</span>, followed by the construction of the character table of the factor group mod <span class="SimpleMath">\(<(z,z)>\)</span>.</p>
<p>However, we use a faster method that builds up the table from scratch, using the appropriate component tables as ingredients (for example, the generic character tables of <span class="SimpleMath">\(2.Sym(k)\)</span> and <span class="SimpleMath">\(2.Alt(l)\)</span> ). In this way we can easily build up a suitable list of class parameters that are needed to determine the class fusion in the construction of <var class="Arg">type</var> <code class="code">"Symmetric"</code>.</p>

<p>Returns: the <var class="Arg">p</var>-modular character table of the ordinary character table <var class="Arg">ordtbl</var> returned by the function <code class="func">SpinSymCharacterTableOfMaximalYoungSubgroup</code> (<a href="chap2_mj.html#X798B9B1482CBDDC0"><span class="RefLink">2.4-1</span></a>).</p>
<p>If the rational prime <var class="Arg">p</var> is odd, then the construction of the irreducible Brauer characters is really the same as in the ordinary case but it depends on the <var class="Arg">p</var>-modular tables of of <var class="Arg">ordtbl</var>'s `ingredients'. If some Brauer table that is necessary for the construction is not available then <code class="code">fail</code> is returned.</p>
<p>Alternatively, the <code class="code">mod</code>-operator may be used.</p>
<p>For <var class="Arg">p</var> <span class="SimpleMath">\(=2\)</span> the Brauer table is essentially constructed as a direct product by standard <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> methods written by Thomas Breuer.</p>
