In this work we provide an elementary derivation of the indefinite spin groups in low-dimensions. Our approach relies on the isomorphism of Cl(p+1, q+1) to the algebra 2x2 matrices with entries in Cl(p,q), simple properties of Kronecker…

Here we show that a finite nilpotent group is 2-closed if and only if it is either cyclic or a direct product of a generalized quaternion group with a cyclic group of odd order.

For the second fundamental representation of the general linear group over a commutative ring $R$ we construct straightforward and uniform polynomial expressions of elementary generators as products of elementary conjugates of an arbitrary…

We show that the affine quantum group $U_q(\hat{sl_2})$ is isomorphic to a bicrossproduct central extension $C Z{}_\chi\cross U_q(Lsl_2)$ of the quantum loop group $U_q(Lsl_2)$ by a quantum cocycle $\chi$, which we construct. We prove the…

We prove that there are only finitely many isometry classes of even lattices $L$ of signature $(2,n)$ for which the space of cusp forms of weight $1+n/2$ for the Weil representation of the discriminant group of $L$ is trivial. We compute…

Given a finite group $G$, denote by $\Gamma(G)$ the simple undirected graph whose vertices are the distinct sizes of noncentral conjugacy classes of $G$, and set two vertices of $\Gamma(G)$ to be adjacent if and only if they are not coprime…

Let $G$ be a supersolvable group and $A$ be a conjugacy class of $G$. Observe that for some integer $\eta(AA^{-1})>0$, $AA^{-1}=\{a b^{-1}\mid a,b\in A\}$ is the union of $\eta(AA^{-1})$ distinct conjugacy classes of $G$. Set ${\bf…

Let $M$ be a model set meeting two simple conditions: (1) the internal space $H$ is a product of $R^n$ and a finite group, and (2) the window $W$ is a finite union of disjoint polyhedra. Then any point pattern with finite local complexity…

A theorem of Z. Arad and E. Fisman establishes that if $A$ and $B$ are two conjugacy classes of a finite group $G$ such that either $AB=A\cup B$ or $AB=A^{-1} \cup B$, then $G$ cannot be non-abelian simple. We demonstrate that, in fact,…

We show that the Grothendieck-Teichm\"uller group of $PSL(2, q)$, or more precisely the group $GT_1(PSL(2, q))$ as previously defined by the author, is the product of an elementary abelian 2-group and several copies of the dihedral group of…

We investigate the structure of finite groups whose non-central real class sizes have the same $2$-part. In particular, we prove that such groups are solvable and have $2$-length one. As a consequence, we show that a finite group is…

We demonstrate that the matrix quantum group $SL_q(2)$ gives rise to nontrivial matrix product operator representations of the Lie group $SL(2)$, providing an explicit characterization of the nontrivial global $SU(2)$ symmetry of the XXZ…

This is the final draft, containing very minor proof-reading corrections. Let G in SL(n,\C) be a finite subgroup and \fie: Y -> X = \C^n/G any resolution of singularities of the quotient space. We prove that crepant exceptional prime…

Letting tau denote the inverse transpose automorphism of GL(n,q), a formula is obtained for the number of g in GL(n,q) so that gg^{tau} is equal to a given element h. This generalizes a result of Gow and Macdonald for the special case that…

H.J. Zassenhaus conjectured that any unit of finite order and augmentation $1$ in the integral group ring $\mathbb{Z}G$ of a finite group $G$ is conjugate in the rational group algebra $\mathbb{Q}G$ to an element of $G$. We prove the…

The spectrum of a finite group is a set of its element orders. We prove that if $m>5$ then the group $L_{2^m}(2)\times L_{2^m}(2)\times L_{2^m}(2)$ is uniquely determined by its spectrum in the class of finite groups

We show any matrix of rank $r$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$ can have $\leq \binom{r}{k}(q-1)^k$ distinct columns of weight $k$ if $ k \leq O_q(\sqrt{\log r})$ (up to divisibility issues), and $\leq \binom{r}{k}(q-1)^{r-k}$ distinct columns of…

Consider two symmetric $3 \times 3$ matrices $A$ and $B$ with entries in $GF(q)$, for $q=p^n$, $p$ an odd prime. The zero sets of $v^T Av$ and $v^T Bv$ can be viewed as (possibly degenerate) conics in the finite projective coordinate plane…

A special type of conjugacy classes in symmetric groups is studied and used to answer a question about odd-degree irreducible characters

In this note we present the Stiefel-Whitney classes (SWCs) for orthogonal representations of several finite groups of Lie type, namely for $G=\text{SL}(2,q),$ $\text{SL}(3,q),$ $\text{Sp}(4,q)$, and $\text{Sp}(6,q)$, with $q$ odd. We also…
