On an imprimitive maximal subgroup of $SU_7(2)$
The special unitary group $SU_{n}(q)$ has a maximal imprimitive subgroup with the structure $(q+1)^{n-1}{:}S_{n}$. The exceptions when the subgroup is not maximal are $SU_{3}(5)$, $SU_{4}(3)$ and $SU_{6}(2)$. In this paper, the ordinary character table of the maximal imprimitive subgroup $\overline{G}=3^{6}{:}S_{7}$ of $SU_{7}(2)=U_{7}(2)$ is computed by the Fischer-Clifford matrices technique. A combinatorial approach is adopted in the computation of the Fischer-Clifford matrices of $\overline{G}$.
