an analogue of Higman-Lehrer-Isaacs conjecture for unipotent radical of Sp8

Abstract

This thesis prove an weak analogue of Higman-Lehrer-Isaacs conjecture for the unipotent radical of Sp8(q) where q is a power of an odd prime More precisely the number of irreducible character of degree q^e of Sp8(q) ∩ U8 is a polynomial in q-1 with non-negative integer coefficients
