Symmetry-protected phases for measurement-based quantum computation
Ground states of spin lattices can serve as a resource for measurement-based
quantum computation. Ideally, the ability to perform quantum gates via
measurements on such states would be insensitive to small variations in the
Hamiltonian. Here, we describe a class of symmetry-protected topological orders
in one-dimensional systems, any one of which ensures the perfect operation of
the identity gate. As a result, measurement-based quantum gates can be a robust
property of an entire phase in a quantum spin lattice, when protected by an
appropriate symmetry.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figure, comments welcome; v2 fixed minor typographic

Characters of finite groups, part 2
This book places character theory and its applications to finite groups within the reach of people with a comparatively modest mathematical background. The work concentrates mostly on applications of character theory to finite groups. The main themes are degrees and kernels of irreducible characters, the class number and the number of nonlinear irreducible characters, values of irreducible characters, characterizations and generalizations of Frobenius groups, and generalizations of monomial groups. The presentation is detailed, and many proofs of known results are new

Characters of finite groups, part 1
This book discusses character theory and its applications to finite groups. The work places the subject within the reach of people with a relatively modest mathematical background. The necessary background exceeds the standard algebra course with respect only to finite groups. Starting with basic notions and theorems in character theory, the authors present a variety of results on the properties of complex-valued characters and applications to finite groups. The main themes are degrees and kernels of irreducible characters, the class number and the number of nonlinear irreducible characters, values of irreducible characters, characterizations and generalizations of Frobenius groups, and generalizations and applications of monomial groups. The presentation is detailed, and many proofs of known results are new. Most of the results in the book are presented in monograph form for the first time. Numerous exercises offer additional information on the topics and help readers to understand the main concepts and results
