Let $G$ be a finite group. The ring $R_\KK(G)$ of virtual characters of $G$ over the field $\KK$ is a $\lambda$-ring; as such, it is equipped with the so-called $\Gamma$-filtration, first defined by Grothendieck. In the first half of this thesis, we explore the properties of the associated graded ring $R^*_\KK(G)$, and present a set of tools to compute it through detailed examples. In particular, we use the functoriality of $R^*_\KK(-)$, and the topological properties of the $\Gamma$-filtration, to explicitly determine the graded character ring over the complex numbers of every group of order at most $8$, as well as …

Let G be a finite, nontrivial group. In a paper in 1994, Cohn defined the covering number of a finite group as the minimum number of nontrivial proper subgroups whose union is equal to the whole group. This concept has received considerable attention lately, mainly due to the importance of recent discoveries. In this thesis we study a dual concept to the covering number. We define the intersection number of a finite group as the minimum number of maximal subgroups whose intersection is equal to the Frattini subgroup. Similarly we define the inconjugate intersection number of a finite group as …
