Authored summary

UNKNOWN as of 2026-07-31. The source has zero answers. Robinson's open-access 2026 Journal of Algebra paper studies this exact class function, proves many families, and retains universal character positivity as a conjecture. Prove that every irreducible-character multiplicity in Psi_{G,p} is a nonnegative integer for all finite G and p, or give a finite group G and prime p for which some multiplicity is negative.

The record cites sources for its explanation.

UNKNOWN as of 2026-07-31. The source has zero answers. Robinson's open-access 2026 Journal of Algebra paper studies this exact class function, proves many families, and retains universal character positivity as a conjecture.

A complete resolution must satisfy this condition: Prove that every irreducible-character multiplicity in Psi_{G,p} is a nonnegative integer for all finite G and p, or give a finite group G and prime p for which some multiplicity is negative.
