$p$-Biset Functor of Monomial Burnside Rings (2505.15150v1)

Abstract: We investigate the structure of the monomial Burnside biset functor over a field of characteristic zero, with particular focus on its restriction kernels. For each finite ( p )-group ( G ), we give an explicit description of the restriction kernel at ( G ), and determine the complete list of composition factors of the functor. We prove that these composition factors have minimal groups ( H ) isomorphic either to a cyclic ( p )-group or to a direct product of such a group with a cyclic group of order ( p ). Furthermore, we identify the simple ( \mathbb{C}[\Aut(H)] )-modules that appear as evaluations of these composition factors at their minimal groups. Explicit classifications of composition factors for biset functors are rare, and our results provide one of the few complete examples of such classifications.
