Let N be a normal subgroup of a finite group G. We prove that under certain (unavoidable) conditions the subgroup [N,G] is a product of commutators [N,y] (with prescribed values of y from a given set Y) of length bounded by a function of…

Let $k$ be a field, $\tilde{G}$ a connected reductive $k$-group, and $\Gamma$ a finite group. In a previous work, the authors defined what it means for a connected reductive $k$-group $G$ to be "parascopic" for $(\tilde{G},\Gamma)$.…

We show that a locally symmetric space of noncompact type and with finite volume is quasi-isometric to the euclidean cone over a finite simplicial complex. A detailed analysis of metric properties yields a proof of a conjecture of Siegel.

Consider a compact connected Lie group $G$ and the corresponding Lie algebra $\cal L$. Let $\{X_1,...,X_m\}$ be a set of generators for the Lie algebra $\cal L$. We prove that $G$ is uniformly finitely generated by $\{X_1,...,X_m\}$. This…

Let $K$ be a compact group, and let $\rho$ be a representation of $K$ on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}_\rho$. We classify invariant subspaces of $\mathcal{H}_\rho$ in terms of range functions, and investigate frames of the form $\{\rho(\xi)…

In this paper we parametrize the Teichm\"uller spaces of constructible Koebe groups, that is Kleinian group that arise as covering of $2-$orbifolds determined by certain normal subgroups of their fundamental groups. We also study the…

Gaussian elimination answers any question about a finitely presented vector space. However, a "uniform family" of such presentations--given as generic relations among an unspecified number of generators--is susceptible to elimination only…

Many finite groups, including all finite non-abelian simple groups, can be symmetrically generated by involutions. In this paper we give an algorithm to symmetrically represent elements of finite groups and to transform symmetrically…

Kite pseudo effect algebras were recently introduced as a class of interesting examples of pseudo effect algebras using a po-group, an index set and two bijections on the index set. We represent kite pseudo effect algebras with a special…

Several structural properties of a universal algebra can be seen from the higher commutators of its congruences. Even on a finite algebra, the sequence of higher commutator operations is an infinite object. In the present paper, we exhibit…

We study presentations, defined by Sidki, resulting in groups $y(m,n)$ that are conjectured to be finite orthogonal groups of dimension $m+1$ in characteristic two. This conjecture, if true, shows an interesting pattern, possibly connected…

We situate the noncrossing partitions associated to a finite Coxeter group within the context of the representation theory of quivers. We describe Reading's bijection between noncrossing partitions and clusters in this context, and show…

A theorem of Tits - Vinberg allows to build an action of a Coxeter group $\Gamma$ on a properly convex open set $\Omega$ of the real projective space, thanks to the data $P$ of a polytope and reflection across its facets. We give sufficient…

According to the Tits conjecture proved by Crisp and Paris, [CP], the subgroups of the braid group generated by proper powers of the Artin elements are presented by the commutators of generators which are powers of commuting elements. Hence…

In this series of papers, we study correspondence between the following: (1) large scale structure of the metric space bigsqcup_m {Cay(G(m))} consisting of Cayley graphs of finite groups with k generators; (2) structure of groups which…

The objective of this paper is to determine the finite dimensional, indecomposable representations of the algebra that is generated by two complex structures over the real numbers. Since the generators satisfy relations that are similar to…

Graphs which generalize the simple or affine Dynkin diagrams are introduced. Each diagram defines a bilinear form on a root system and thus a reflection group. We present some properties of these groups and of their natural "Coxeter…

The structure of covariant instruments is studied and a general structure theorem is derived. A detailed characterization is given to covariant instruments in the case of an irreducible representation of a locally compact group.

Let $G$ be the group scheme $SL_2$ defined over a noetherian ring $k$. If $G$ acts on a finitely generated commutative $k$-algebra $A$, then $H^*(G,A)$ is a finitely generated $k$-algebra.

Given a finite generating set $T=\{g_0,\dots, g_n\}$ of a group $G$, and a representation $\rho$ of $G$ on a Hilbert space $V$, we investigate how the geometry of the set $D(T,\rho)=\{ [x_0 : \dots : x_n] \in\mathbb C\mathbb P^n \mid \sum…
