Title:
Character ratios for finite groups of Lie type

Speaker:
Martin Liebeck

Abstract:
A character ratio for a finite group G is a complex number of the form chi(g)/chi(1), where chi is an irreducible character of G. I shall discuss some recent results on character ratios for finite groups of Lie type, I shall also mention several diverse applications, to random walks, probabilistic generation, and representation varieties of some classes of infinite groups
