In this paper, we define (reduced) homeology groups and (reduced) cohomeology groups on finite simpicial complexes and prove that these groups are PL homeomorphsm invariants of polyhedra, while they are not homotopy invariants. So these…

In the paper we consider the following conjecture: if a finite group $G$ possesses a solvable $\pi$-Hall subgroup $H$, then there exist elements $x,y,z,t\in G$ such that the identity $H\cap H^x\cap H^y\cap H^z\cap H^t=O_\pi(G)$ holds. The…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $\cF$ be a family of subgroups of $G$ closed under conjugation and taking subgroups. We consider the question whether there exists a periodic relative $\cF$-projective resolution for $\bbZ$ when $\cF$ is the…

A finite group $G$ is called a Schur group if any $S$-ring over $G$ is associated in a natural way with a subgroup of $Sym(G)$ that contains all right translations. We prove that the groups $\mathbb{Z}_3\times \mathbb{Z}_{3^n}$, where…

In this paper we study the orbit closure problem for a reductive group $G\subseteq GL(X)$ acting on a finite dimensional vector space $V$ over $\C$. We assume that the center of $GL(X)$ lies within $G$ and acts on $V$ through a fixed…

The gauge group of a principal $G$-bundle $P$ over a space $X$ is the group of $G$-equivariant homeomorphisms of $P$ that cover the identity on $X$. We consider the gauge groups of bundles over $S^4$ with $\mathrm{Spin}^c(n)$, the complex…

In a previous paper, the author (together with Matthew Emerton) proved that the completed cohomology groups of SL_N(Z) are stable in fixed degree as N goes to infinity (Z may be replaced by the ring O_F of integers of any number field). In…

We determine the semi-regular subgroups of the 2-transitive permutation groups PGL(2,n), PSL(2,n), PGU(3,n), PSU(3,n), Sz(n) and Ree(n) with n a suitable power of a prime number p.

We define a local Sylow subgroup of a totally disconnected, locally compact group G to be a maximal pro-p subgroup of an open compact subgroup of G. We use these subgroups to define the p-localisation of G, a locally virtually pro-p group…

Let $\G$ be a semisimple algebraic group over a number field $K$, $\mathcal{S}$ a finite set of places of $K$, $K_\mathcal{S}$ the direct product of the completions $K_v, v \in \mathcal{S}$, and $\OO$ the ring of $\mathcal{S}$-integers of…

For subsets $X,Y$ of a finite group $G$, let $Pr(X,Y)$ denote the probability that two random elements $x\in X$ and $y\in Y$ commute. Obviously, a finite group $G$ is nilpotent if and only if $Pr(P,Q)=1$ whenever $P$ and $Q$ are Sylow…

We prove an analog of Deligne's theorem for finite symmetric tensor categories $\mathcal{C}$ with the Chevalley property over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $2$. Namely, we prove that every such category $\mathcal{C}$…

Let $G$ be a group and $H \le K \le G$. We say that $H$ is $c$-embedded in $G$ with respect to $K$ if there is a subgroup $B$ of $G$ such that $G = HB$ and $H \cap B \le Z(K)$. Given a finite group $G$, a prime number $p$ and a Sylow…

Let $L$ be the function field of a projective space ${\mathbb P}^n_k$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic zero, and $H$ be the group of projective transformations. An $H$-sheaf ${\mathcal V}$ on ${\mathbb P}^n_k$ is a…

We produce two separate algebraic descriptions of the isomorphism classes of the solvable subgroups of the group PLo(I) of piecewise-linear orientation-preserving homeomorphisms of the unit interval under the operation of composition, and…

A Benoist-Hulin group is, by definition, a subgroup $\Gamma$ of ${\rm PSL}_2(\mathbb{C})$ such that any $\Gamma$-invariant closed set consisting of Jordan curves in the space of closed subsets of the Riemann sphere that are not singletons…

We prove that the first homology group of every planar locally transitive finite graph $G$ is a finitely generated ${\rm Aut}(G)$-module and we prove a similar result for the fundamental group of locally finite planar Cayley graphs.…

From the point of view of discrete geometry, the class of locally finite transitive graphs is a wide and important one. The subclass of Cayley graphs is of particular interest, as testifies the development of geometric group theory. Recall…

For every topological group G one can define the universal minimal compact G-space X=M_G characterized by the following properties: (1) X has no proper closed G-invariant subsets; (2) for every compact G-space Y there exists a G-map X-->Y.…
