The mapping class group of a Heegaard splitting is the group of connected components in the set of automorphisms of the ambient manifold that map the Heegaard surface onto itself. For the genus three Heegaard splitting of the 3-torus, we…

Consider any sequence of finite groups $A^t$, where $t$ takes values in an integer index set $\mathbf{Z}$. A group system $A$ is a set of sequences with components in $A^t$ that forms a group under componentwise addition in $A^t$, for each…

We discuss the notion of essential dimension of a finite group and explain its relation with birational algebraic geometry. We show how this leads to a (partial) classification of simple finite groups of essential dimension less than or…

We construct 3-manifolds which have at least two inequivalent embeddings such that both complementary regions have abelian fundamental group.

Let $G=A_n$, a finite alternating group. We study the commuting graph of $G$ and establish, for all possible values of $n$ barring $13, 14, 17$ and $19$, whether or not the independence number is equal to the clique-covering number.

For any code loop $L$, we prove that the half-automorphism group of $L$ is the product of the automorphism group of $L$ by an elementary abelian $2-$group consisting of all half-automorphisms that acts as the identity on a fixed basis.…

We classify those 2-groups G which factorise as a product of two disjoint cyclic subgroups A and B, transposed by an automorphism of order 2. The case where G is metacyclic having been dealt with elsewhere, we show that for each e>2 there…

We discuss functions from edges and vertices of an undirected graph to an Abelian group. Such functions, when the sum of their values along any cycle is zero, are called balanced labelings. The set of balanced labelings forms an Abelian…

The abelian sandpile models feature a finite abelian group $G$ generated by the operators corresponding to particle addition at various sites. We study the canonical decomposition of $G$ as a product of cyclic groups $G = Z_{d_1} \times…

For most (and possibly all) non-associative finite simple Moufang loops, three generators of order 3 can be chosen so that each two of them generate a group isomorphic to $(3, 3 | 3, p)$. The subgroup structure of $(3, 3 | 3, p)$ depends on…

We prove that if $L=\mbox{}^2F_4(2^{2n+1})'$ and $x$ is a nonidentity automorphism of $L$ then $G=\langle L,x\rangle$ has four elements conjugate to $x$ that generate $G$. This result is used to study the following conjecture about the…

Let $G$ be a finite non-cyclic $p$-group of order at least $p^3$. If $G$ has an abelian maximal subgroup, or if $G$ has an elementary abelian centre with $C_G(Z(\Phi(G))) \ne \Phi(G)$, then $|G|$ divides $|\text{Aut}(G)|$.

We study the group IET of all interval exchange transformations. Our first main result is that the group generated by a generic pairs of elements of IET is not free (assuming a suitable irreducibility condition on the underlying…

In this paper, we prove that the endomorphism rings End A and End A' of periodic infinite Abelian groups A and A' are elementarily equivalent if and only if the endomorphism rings of their p-components are elementarily equivalent for all…

A group is called metahamiltonian if all non-abelian subgroups of it are normal. This concept is a natural generalization of Hamiltonian groups. In this paper, the properties of finite metahamiltonian $p$-groups are investigated.

Postulating that spacetime is discrete, we assume that physical space is described by a 3-dimensional cubic lattice.The corresponding symmetry group of rotations has order 24 and motivates the introduction of a cubic shaped graph with 27…

We show that the decomposition group of a line $L$ in the plane, i.e. the subgroup of plane birational transformations that send $L$ to itself birationally, is generated by its elements of degree 1 and one element of degree 2, and that it…

A presentation as well as a structural description of the automorphism group of a family of 3-generator finite $p$-groups is given, $p$ being an odd prime.

Let R be a unital commutative ring and let $M$ be an $R$-module that is generated by $k$ elements but not less. Let $E_n(R)$ be the subgroup of $GL_n(R)$ generated by the elementary matrices. In this paper we study the action of $E_n(R)$ by…

We give a complete characterization of abelian subgroups of GL(n, R) with a locally dense (resp. dense) orbit in R^n. For finitely generated subgroups, this characterization is explicit and it is used to show that no abelian subgroup of…
