Background
Hung Tong-Viet's main research interests lie in the representation and character theory of finite groups, permutation groups and applications to number theory and combinatorics, and finite group theory in general. He is interested in studying groups or group structures using several important numerical invariants of the groups such as character degrees (ordinary and modular), p-parts of the degrees or character values such as zeros of characters.
In permutation group theory, he studies derangements — that is, permutations without fixed points, and their applications in number theory and graph theory, permutation characters and permutation polytopes. Recently, he also became interested in studying the influence of real conjugacy class sizes on the group structures.
