This paper develops a basic theory of H-groups. We introduce a special quotient of H-groups and extend some algebraic constructions of topological groups to the category of H-groups and H-maps. We use these constructions to prove some…

We study the problem of finding a subgroup of a given order in a finite group, where the group is represented by its Cayley table. We analyze the complexity of the problem in the special case of abelian groups and present an optimal…

We define a class of quandle-like structures called pseudoquandles and analyze some of their algebraic properties.

Let G be a finite simple group of Lie type. In this paper we study characters of G that vanish at the non-semisimple elements and whose degree is equal to the order of a maximal unipotent subgroup of G. Such characters can be viewed as a…

In previous papers, the Galois module structure of minus class groups was studied for abelian CM extensions. In this paper, we discuss some nonabelian cases, focusing on metacyclic extensions. For a certain class of these, we obtain a…

An almost Abelian Lie group is a non-Abelian Lie group with a codimension 1 Abelian normal subgroup. The majority of 3-dimensional real Lie groups are almost Abelian, and they appear in all parts of physics that deal with anisotropic media…

The commutator calculus is one of the basic tools in group theory. However, its extension to the non-associative context, based on the usual definition of the lower central series of a loop, is not entirely satisfactory. Namely, the graded…

This paper describes a quantum algorithm for efficiently decomposing finite Abelian groups. Such a decomposition is needed in order to apply the Abelian hidden subgroup algorithm. Such a decomposition (assuming the Generalized Riemann…

Let $G$ be a nonabelian group. We say that $G$ has an abelian partition, if there exists a partition of $G$ into commuting subsets $A_1, A_2, \ldots, A_n$ of $G$, such that $|A_i|\geqslant 2$ for each $i=1, 2, \ldots, n$. This paper…

In this short note, we classify pairs of conjugacy classes of the symmetric group such that any non-linear irreducible character of the symmetric group vanishes on at least one of them.

We carry out the Cantor-Bendixson analysis of the space of all subgroups of any countable abelian group and we deduce a complete classification of such spaces up to homeomorphism.

We say that a subgroup $H$ is isolated in a group $G$ if for every $x\in G$ we have either $x\in H$ or $\langle x\rangle\cap H=1$. In this short note, we describe the set of isolated subgroups of a finite abelian group. The technique used…

In this paper we define an equivalence relation on the set of all $x_{J}$ in order to form a basis for a new descent algebra of Weyl groups of type $A_{n}$. By means of this, we construct a new commutative and semi-simple descent algebra of…

The paper studies representation theoretic aspects of a nonabelian version of the Jacobian for a smooth complex projective surface $X$ introduced in [R1]. The sheaf of reductive Lie algebras $\bf\calG$ associated to the nonabelian Jacobian…

We determine all finite subgroups of simple algebraic groups that have irreducible centralizers - that is, centralizers whose connected component does not lie in a parabolic subgroup.

We determine the structure of 2-blocks with minimal nonabelian defect groups, by making use of the classification of finite simple groups.

We classify the category of finite-dimensional real division composition algebras having a non-abelian Lie algebra of derivations. Our complete and explicit classification is largely achieved by introducing the concept of a…

We study locally definable abelian groups $\CU$ in various settings and examine conditions under which the quotient of $\CU$ by a discrete subgroup might be definable. This turns out to be related to the existence of the type-definable…

We give a sharp lower bound on the size of nonabelian quotients of the surface braid group $B_n(\Sigma_g)$ and classify all quotients that attain the lower bound: Depending on $n$ and $g$, a quotient of minimum order is either a symmetric…
