We consider the Brauer-Manin obstruction to the existence of integral points on affine surfaces defined by $x^2 - ay^2 = P(t)$ over a number field. We enumerate the possibilities for the Brauer groups of certain families of such surfaces,…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $p$ be a prime. We prove that if $G$ has three codegrees, then $G$ is an $M$-group. We prove for some prime $p$ that if every irreducible Brauer character of $G$ is a prime, then for every normal subgroup $N$…

We study a new object that can be attached to an abelian variety or a complex torus: the invariant Brauer group, as recently defined by Yang Cao. Over the field of complex numbers this is an elementary abelian 2-group with an explicit upper…

We introduce a theory of cohomological invariants with mod $p^r$ coefficients for algebraic stacks in characteristic $p$. Using these new tools we complete the computation of the Brauer group and cohomological invariants of the stack of…

In this paper, first we obtain an explicit formula for an outer commutator multiplier of nilpotent products of cyclic groups with respect to the variety $[\mathfrak{N}_{c_1},\mathfrak{N}_{c_2}]$, $\mathfrak{N}_{c}M(\mathbb{Z}\st{n}*…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p >0$. We consider the variety of nilpotent pairs $(A,B)$ with $[A,B]=\lambda I$, namely the set of pairs $ X = \{ (A,B) \in M_n(k) \times M_n(k) \mid A,B \text{ nilpotent},…

The paper deals with the cohomological invariants of smooth and connected linear algebraic groups over an arbitrary field. More precisely, we study degree $2$ invariants with coefficients $\mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z}(1)$, that is invariants…

We study Nielsen equivalence classes of generating pairs of Kleinian groups and HNN-extensions. We establish the following facts: - Hyperbolic 2-bridge knot groups have infinitely many Nielsen classes of generating pairs. - For any natural…

Every finite $p$-group of coclass 2 has a noninner automorphism of order $p$ leaving the center elementwise fixed.

We prove that the isomorphism type of the subrack lattice of a finite group determines the nilpotence class. We analyze the problem of estimating the orders of the group elements corresponding to the atoms of the subrack lattice. As a…

In this article we study the homology of nilpotent groups. In particular a certain vanishing result for the homology and cohomology of nilpotent groups is proved.

In this paper, we use the theory of simplicial groups to develop the Schur multiplier of a pair of groups $(G,N)$ to the Baer invariant of it, $\mathcal{V}M(G,N)$, with respect to an arbitrary variety $\mathcal{V}$. Moreover, we present…

In this paper we present some inequalities for the order, the exponent, and the number of generators of the c-nilpotent multiplier (the Baer invariant with respect to the variety of nilpotent groups of class at most $c \geq 1$) of a…

We give an explicit description of nilpotent Chernikov 2-groups with elementary tops and the basis of rank 2.

We give sufficient conditions on $p$-blocks of $p$-nilpotent groups over $\mathbb{F}_p$ to be splendidly Rickard equivalent and $p$-permutation equivalent to their Brauer correspondents. The paper also contains Galois descent results on…

In this paper we analyze the earlier constructions of the type IIA dual pairs through orientifolding. By an appropriate choice of $\Gamma$-matrix basis for the spinor representations of the $U$-duality group, we give an explicit…

We address the type I dichotomy for two-step nilpotent locally compact groups. Invoking work of Baggett-Kleppner, we characterize the closed points of the unitary dual of such a group $G$ purely in terms of the group structure. An algebraic…

A simpler definition for a class of two-parameter quantum groups associated to semisimple Lie algebras is given in terms of Euler form. Their positive parts turn out to be 2-cocycle deformations of each other under some conditions. An…

We give a geometric criterion which shows p-parabolicity of a class of submanifolds in a Riemannian manifold, with controlled second fundamental form, for p bigger or equal than 2.

We determine the Brauer group of the Deligne-Mumford stack $\mathscr{Y}_0(2)$, the moduli space of elliptic curves with a marked $2$-torsion subgroup over bases of arithmetic interest. Antieau and Meier determine the Brauer group for…
