The well known Andrews-Curtis Conjecture [2] is still open. In this paper, we establish its finite version by describing precisely the connected components of the Andrews-Curtis graphs of finite groups. This finite version has independent…
This is a report on our long term project to find an algorithm to decide if a finitely presented group has a non-trivial action on a tree.
Finite Unified Theories (FUTs) are N=1 supersymmetric Grand Unified Theories that can be made all-loop finite, leading to a severe reduction of the free parameters. We review the investigation of FUTs based on SU(5) in the context of…
We discuss in the context of finite extensions two classical theorems of Takahasi and Howson on subgroups of free groups. We provide bounds for the rank of the intersection of subgroups within classes of groups such as virtually free…
Using the spectral properties of orthogonal polynomials, we introduce a finite version of quantum field theory for elementary particles. Closed-loop integrals in the Feynman diagrams for computing transition amplitudes are finite.…
In the late 19th century, Klein inaugurated a program for describing the finite subgroups of $PGL_2(k)$ by treating the case in which the field $k$ is the complex numbers. Gierster and Moore extended Klein's arguments to deal with finite…
In this paper, we summarize the work on the characterization of finite simple groups and the study on finite groups with the set of element orders and two orders (the order of group and the set of element orders). Some related topics, and…
In this thesis we investigate invariant transversals in finite groups by studying the connection between right conjugacy closed loops and finite groups. The interplay between loop theory and group theory has prompted discoveries in both…
The recently derived expressions for finite gauge transformations in double field theory with duality group O(d,d) are generalised to give expressions for finite gauge transformations for extended field theories with duality group SL(5,R),…
On June 5, 2007 the second author delivered a talk at the Journees de l'Institut Elie Cartan entitled "Finite symmetry groups in complex geometry". This paper begins with an expanded version of that talk which, in the spirit of the…
Scalar field theory at finite temperature is investigated via an improved renormalization group prescription which provides an effective resummation over all possible non-overlapping higher loop graphs. Explicit analyses for the lambda…
A new approach is demonstrated that QFTs can be UV finite if they are viewed as the low energy effective theories of a fundamental underlying theory (that is complete and well-defined in all respects) according to the nowaday's standard…
We establish a relation between fully extended $2$-dimensional TQFTs and recognisable weighted formal languages, rational biprefix codes and lattice TFTs. We show the equivalence of $2D$ closed TFTs and rational exchangeable series and we…
In [Frobenius1896] it was shown that many important properties of a finite group could be examined using formulas involving the character ratios of group elements, i.e., the trace of the element acting in a given irreducible representation,…
A theoretical framework is established for explicitly calculating rigid kernels of self-similar regular branch groups. This is applied to a new infinite family of branch groups in order to provide the first examples of self-similar, branch…
Finite Unified Theories (FUTs) are N=1 supersymmetric Grand Unified Theories that can be made all-loop finite. The requirement of all-loop finiteness leads to a severe reduction of the free parameters of the theory and, in turn, to a large…
We provide new bounds for the divisibility function of the free group F_2 and construct short laws for the symmetric groups Sym(n). The construction is random and relies on the classification of the finite simple groups. We also give bounds…
It is well known that every finite simple group has a generating pair. Moreover, Guralnick and Kantor proved that every finite simple group has the stronger property, known as $\frac{3}{2}$-generation, that every nontrivial element is…
This paper is the last part of a comprehensive survey of a newly emerging field: a topological approach to the study of locally finite graphs that crucially incorporates their ends. Topological arcs and circles, which may pass through ends,…
