Universal deformation rings and fusion

This thesis is on the representation theory of finite groups. Specifically, it is about finding connections between fusion and universal deformation rings. Two elements of a subgroup N of a finite group Γ are said to be fused if they are conjugate in Γ, but not in N. The study of fusion arises in tr...
