We extend \cite{G} to the nonsemisimple case. We define and study exact factorizations $\B=\A\bullet \C$ of a finite tensor category $\B$ into a product of two tensor subcategories $\A,\C\subset \B$, and relate exact factorizations of…

For every finite abelian group $G$, there are positive integers $n$ and $d$ such that $G$ is isomorphic to the multiplicative group of $d$-th powers of reduced residues modulo $n$.

Let $p$ be an odd prime. We describe a method to compute the Schur multiplier of finite $p$-groups $G$ of nilpotency class $2$ such that $G/[G,G]$ is isomorphic to direct product of copies of $\mathbb{Z}_{p^s}$ for $s \in \mathbb{N}$,…

Let $G=SL(2,5)$ be the special linear group of $2 \times 2$-matrices with coefficients in the field with $5$ elements. We show that the principal block over a splitting field $K$ of characteristic two of the group algebra $KG$ has a…

We continue the study of freely braided elements of simply laced Coxeter groups, which we introduced in a previous work (math.CO/0301104). A known upper bound for the number of commutation classes of reduced expressions for an element of a…

We prove that if the multiplication group $Mult(L)$ of a connected $2$-dimensional topological loop is a Lie group, then $Mult(L)$ is an elementary filiform nilpotent Lie group of dimension at least $4$. Moreover, we describe loops having…

In this paper, building among others on earlier works by U. Krause and C. Zahlten (dealing with the case of cyclic groups), we obtain a new upper bound for the little cross number valid in the general case of arbitrary finite Abelian…

Employing the algebraic structure of the left brace and the dynamical extensions of cycle sets, we investigate a class of indecomposable involutive set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation having specific imprimitivity blocks.…

We produce an infinite family of imaginary quadratic fields whose ideal class groups have $3$-rank at least $2$.

This expository article revolves around the question to find short presentations of finite simple groups. This subject is one of the most active research areas of group theory in recent times. We bring together several known results on…

We give a complete and irredundant list of the finite groups $G$ for which Aut$(G)$, acting naturally on $G$, has precisely $3$ orbits. There are 7 infinite families: one abelian, one non-nilpotent, three families of non-abelian $2$-groups…

We show how to construct all the extensions of left braces by ideals with trivial structure. This is useful to find new examples of left braces. But, to do so, we must know the basic blocks for extensions: the left braces with no ideals…

The right conjugacy closed loops of order 2p, where p is an odd prime, are classified up to isomorphism.

A description of finitely generated left nilpotent braces of class at most two is presented in this paper. The description heavily depends on the fact that if $B$ is left nilpotent of class at most $2$, that is $B^3 = 0$, then $B$ is right…

The power graph of a group $G$ is a simple and undirected graph with vertex set $G$ and two distinct vertices are adjacent if one is a power of the other. In this article, we characterize (non-cyclic) finite groups of prime exponent and…

We give alternative computations of the Schur multiplier of $Sp(2g,\mathbb Z/D\mathbb Z)$, when $D$ is divisible by 4 and $g\geq 4$: a first one using $K$-theory arguments based on the work of Barge and Lannes and a second one based on the…

In this short paper, we survey the results on commutative automorphic loops and give a new construction method. Using this method, we present new classes of commutative automorphic loops of exponent 2 with trivial center.

Given a group $G$ and an integer $n\geq2$ we construct a new group $\tilde{{\cal K}}(G,n)$. Although this construction naturally occurs in the context of finding new invariants for complex algebraic surfaces, it is related to the theory of…

We give explicit and elementary constructions of the categorical extensions of a torus by the circle and discuss an application to loop group extensions. Examples include maximal tori of simple and simply connected compact Lie groups and…

This is a continuation of an earlier preprint (math.GT/0209121) under the same title. These papers grew out of an attempt to find a suitable finite sheeted covering of an aspherical 3-manifold so that the cover either has infinite or…
