The following theorem is proved: Let $G$ be a finite group and $\pi_e(G)$ be the set of element orders in $G$. If $\pi_e(G) \cap \{2\}=\emptyset$; or $\pi_e(G) \cap \{3, 4\}=\emptyset$; or $\pi_e(G) \cap \{3,5\}=\emptyset$, then $G$ is…

For every group $G$, we show that either $G$ has a topologically transitive action on the line $\mathbb R$ by orientation-preserving homeomorphisms, or every orientation-preserving action of $G$ on $\mathbb R$ has a wandering interval.…

Let $G$ be a semi-simple algebraic group over a perfect field $k$. A lot of progress has been made recently in computing the Chow motives of projective $G$-homogenous varieties. When $k$ has positive characteristic, a broader class of…

Let $G$ be a group with socle a simple group of Lie type defined over the finite field with $q$ elements where $q$ is a power of the prime $p$. Suppose that $G$ acts transitively upon the lines of a linear space $\mathcal{S}$. We show that…

In this paper, we investigate the structure of finite group G by assuming that the intersections between p-sylowizers of some p-subgroups of G and $O^p(G)$ are S-permutable in G. We obtain some criterions for p-nilpotency of a finite group.

We prove that if a finite group $G$ acts smoothly on a manifold $M$ so that all the isotropy subgroups are abelian groups with rank $\leq k$, then $G$ acts freely and smoothly on $M \times \bbS^{n_1} \times...\times \bbS^{n_k}$ for some…

Let $G$ be a group. The permutability graph of subgroups of $G$, denoted by $\Gamma(G)$, is a graph having all the proper subgroups of $G$ as its vertices, and two subgroups are adjacent in $\Gamma(G)$ if and only if they permute. In this…

Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve over an algebraically closed field ${\mathbb{F}}$ equipped with the action of a finite group $G$. When $p =\textrm{char}(\mathbb{F})$ divides the order of $G$, the long-standing problem of computing the…

We construct a collection of numerical invariants for approximately transitive (AT) actions (of $\Z$). We use them (sometimes supplemented by other invariants to show that members of various one-parameter families of AT actions are mutually…

Let $G$ be a group and $Sol(G)=\{x \in G : \langle x,y \rangle \text{ is solvable for all } y \in G\}$. We associate a graph $\mathcal{NS}_G$ (called the non-solvable graph of $G$) with $G$ whose vertex set is $G \setminus Sol(G)$ and two…

Let $X$ and $Y$ be nonsingular projective varieties over an algebraically closed field $k$ of positive characteristic. If $X$ and $Y$ are birational, we show their $S$-fundamental group schemes are isomorphic.

This work can be thought as a contribution to the model theory of group extensions. We study the groups G which are interpretable in the disjoint union of two structures (seen as a two-sorted structure). We show that if one of the two…

Let $L/K$ be a finite Galois extension of fields with group $\Gamma$. Associated to each Hopf-Galois structure on $L/K$ is a group $G$ of the same order as the Galois group $\Gamma$. The type of the Hopf-Galois structure is by definition…

In this article we describe the general and special projectivity groups for all irreducible residues of all thick, irreducible, spherical buildings of type $ \mathsf{B_{n}}$, $ \mathsf{C_{n}}$ and $\mathsf{F_4}$, and rank at least 3. This…

In this article we study the transitivity of the group of automorphisms of real algebraic surfaces. We characterize real algebraic surfaces with very transitive automorphism groups. We give applications to the classification of real…

For a finite dimensional Lie algebra $\g$ of vector fields on a manifold $M$ we show that $M$ can be completed to a $G$-space in a unversal way, which however is neither Hausdorff nor $T_1$ in general. Here $G$ is a connected Lie group with…

A cap in PG(r,q) is a set of points, no three of which are collinear. A cap is said to be transitive if its automorphism group in PGammaL(r+1,q) acts transtively on the cap, and co-transitive if the automorphism group acts transtively on…

In this note, we consider all possible extensions G of a non-trivial perfect group H acting faithfully on a K3 surface X. The pair (X, G) is proved to be uniquely determined by G if the transcendental value of G is maximum. In particular,…

This paper is dedicated to the problem of infinite transitivity for algebraically generated automorphism groups of the affine plane. We provide a necessary and sufficient condition of infinite transitivity for a large family of subgroups…
