A nonpolycyclic nilpotent-by-cyclic group Gamma can be expressed as the HNN extension of a finitely-generated nilpotent group N. The first main result is that quasi-isometric nilpotent-by-cyclic groups are HNN extensions of quasi-isometric…

Let G be a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field with Lie algebra g. Then the orbits of nilpotent elements of g under the adjoint action of G have been classified. We describe a simple algorithm for finding a…

Given a finite dimensional algebra $A$ over a field $k$, and a finite acyclic quiver $Q$, let $\Lambda = A\otimes_k kQ/I$, where $kQ$ is the path algebra of $Q$ over $k$ and $I$ is a monomial ideal. We show that $(\mathcal X,\mathcal Y)$ is…

Given an artin algebra $\Lambda$ with an idempotent element $a$ we compare the algebras $\Lambda$ and $a\Lambda a$ with respect to Gorensteinness, singularity categories and the finite generation condition Fg for the Hochschild cohomology.…

In this paper, we investigate the conditions under which an odd nilpotent element in $\mathfrak{gl}(m|n)$ lies inside an $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2)$-subalgebra. In the case of the classical Lie algebra $\mathfrak{gl}_m$, every nilpotent element…

In this work we discuss whether the non-commuting graph of a finite group can determine its nilpotency. More precisely, Abdollahi, Akbari and Maimani conjectured that if $G$ and $H$ are finite groups with isomorphic non-commuting graphs and…

Suppose that $G$ is a finite solvable group and $V$ is a finite, faithful and completely reducible $G$-module. Let $N$ be a nilpotent subgroup of $G$, then there exits $v \in V$ such that $|\bC_N(v)| \leq (|N|/p)^{1/p}$, where $p$ is the…

This is a long overdue write up of the following: If the fundamental group of a normal complex algebraic variety (respectively Zariski open subset of a compact K\"ahler manifold) is a solvable group of matrices over Q (respectively…

We construct an ordered set of commutators in a partially commutative nilpotent group $F(X; \Gamma; \mathfrak N_m)$. This set allows us to define a canonical form for each element of $F(X; \Gamma; \mathfrak N_m)$. Namely, we construct a…

In this paper, we first study derivations in non nilpotent Lie triple algebras. We determine the structure of derivation algebra according to whether the algebra admits an idempotent or a pseudo-idempotent. We study the multiplicative…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 2. We prove that the restricted nilpotent commuting variety ${\mathcal C}$, that is the set of pairs of $(n\times n)$-matrices $(A,B)$ such that $A^2=B^2=[A,B]=0$, is…

Our concern is with Riemannian symmetric spaces $Z=G/K$ of the non-compact type and more precisely with the Poisson transform $\mathcal{P}_\lambda$ which maps generalized functions on the boundary $\partial Z$ to $\lambda$-eigenfunctions on…

We present new characterizations of the rings in which every element is the sum of two idempotents and a nilpotent that commute, and the rings in which every element is the sum of two tripotents and a nilpotent that commute. We prove that…

We construct by geometric methods a noncommutative model E of the algebra of regular functions on the universal (2-fold) cover M of certain nilpotent coadjoint orbits O for a complex simple Lie algebra g. Here O is the dense orbit in the…

We classify the irreducible components of the varieties V(n,a,b) of pairs (A,B) of matrices of size n such that AB = BA = 0 and A^a = B^b = 0.

Let $G$ be a non-abelian group and $Z(G)$ be the center of $G$. The non-commuting graph $\Gamma_G$ associated to $G$ is the graph whose vertex set is $G\setminus Z(G)$ and two distinct elements $x,y$ are adjacent if and only if $xy\neq yx$.…

The problem of classifying tuples of nilpotent matrices over a field under simultaneous conjugation is considered "hopeless". However, for any given matrix order over a finite field, the number of concerned orbits is always finite. This…

The Jacobian Conjecture would follow if it were known that real polynomial maps with a unipotent Jacobian matrix are injective. The conjecture that this is true even for $C^1$ maps is explored here. Some results known in the polynomial case…

Jacobson proved that if a Lie algebra admits an invertible derivation, it must be nilpotent. He also suspected, though incorrectly, that the converse might be true: that every nilpotent Lie algebra has an invertible derivation. We prove…

Kato developed an exotic Deligne-Langlands correspondence using a geometric model for the multiparameter affine Hecke algebra of type C, based on his exotic nilpotent cone. Achar-Henderson and Springer showed that this exotic nilpotent is…
