Supercharacters of unitriangular groups and ramification graphs

In this talk we shall construct a ramification graph associated to the supercharacter theory of the unitriangular groups. This will be a graded graph such that the vertices on the nth level will be the supercharacters of $U_n$ and the edges will be given multiplicities using a form of restriction of supercharacters. We shall also examine how we can associate to this ramification graph a Riesz group and take a closer look at the possibility of defining on this group a product that makes in into a Riesz ring.
