In math.GR/0510298, we showed that every loop isotopic to an F-quasigroup is a Moufang loop. Here we characterize, via two simple identities, the class of F-quasigroups which are isotopic to groups. We call these quasigroups FG-quasigroups.…

A theorem of Cantat and Urech says that an analog of the classical Tits alternative holds for the group of birational automorphisms of a compact complex Kaehler surface. We established in our previous paper the following Tits-type…

We determine the combinatorial and the ordinary depth of the maximal subgroups of the simple Ree groups, $R(q)$.

The paper is devoted to the study of geodesic orbit Riemannian spaces that could be characterize by the property that any geodesic is an orbit of a 1-parameter group of isometries. In particular, we discuss some important totally geodesic…

Let $M=G/H$ be a compact connected isotropy irreducible Riemannian homogeneous manifold, where $G$ is a compact Lie group (may be, disconnected) acting on $M$ by isometries. This class includes all compact irreducible Riemannian symmetric…

Let G be a Lie groupoid over M such that the target-source map from G to M x M is proper. We show that, if O is an orbit of finite type (i.e. which admits a proper function with finitely many critical points), then the restriction G|U of G…

In a stable theory, a stationary type $q \in S(A)$ internal to a family of partial types $\mathcal{P}$ over $A$ gives rise to a type-definable group, called its binding group. This group is isomorphic to the group…

We show that if G is an anisotropic, semisimple, absolutely almost simple, simply connected group over a field k, then two elements of G over any field extension of k are R-equivalent if and only if they are A^1-equivalent. As a…

A semitopological group $G$ is called {\it an $n$-semitopological group}, if for any $g\in G$ with $e\not\in\overline{\{g\}}$ there is a neighborhood $W$ of $e$ such that $g\not\in W^{n}$, where $n\in\mathbb{N}$. The class of…

We describe the commuting graph of a Rees matrix semigroup over a group and investigate its properties: diameter, clique number, girth, chromatic number and knit degree. The maximum size of a commutative subsemigroup of a Rees matrix…

Moufang sets were introduced by Jacques Tits in order to understand isotropic linear algebraic groups of relative rank one, but the notion is more general. We describe a new class of Moufang sets, arising from so-called mixed groups of type…

Given a toric affine algebraic variety $X$ and a collection of one-parameter unipotent subgroups $U_1,\ldots,U_s$ of $\mathop{\rm Aut}(X)$ which are normalized by the torus acting on $X$, we show that the group $G$ generated by…

The notion of Moufang set was introduced by Jacques Tits in \cite{Tits92}. We recall briefly the well-established definition and a construction which, under certain conditions, yields a Moufang set. We show that these conditions can be…

We consider the natural Lie algebra structure on the (associative) group algebra of a finite group $G$, and show that the Lie subalgebras associated to natural involutive antiautomorphisms of this group algebra are reductive ones. We give a…

Let $X$ be a finite set such that $|X|=n$. Let $\trans$ and $\sym$ denote respectively the transformation monoid and the symmetric group on $n$ points. Given $a\in \trans\setminus \sym$, we say that a group $G\leq \sym$ is $a$-normalizing…

Let $G$ be a finite group. Let ${\rm{cd}}(G)$ be the set of all complex irreducible character degrees of $G.$ In this paper, we will show that if ${\rm{cd}}(G)={\rm{cd}}(H),$ where $H$ is the simple Ree group ${}^2F_4(q^2),q^2\geq 8,$ then…

We construct the smallest Ree-Tits unital from a group of matrices that is isomorphic to the commutator group of the corresponding Ree group. The matrix description is used to determine configurations in the unital via explicit…

Let $RG$ denote the group ring of the torsion group $G$ over a commutative ring $R$ with identity. In this paper we present proofs of some statements that appear without to be proved in the literature. We establish the valid implications…

Cohomogeneity one actions on irreducible Riemannian symmetric spaces of compact type are classified into three cases: Hermann actions, actions induced by the linear isotropy representation of a Riemannian symmetric space of rank 2, and…

Let S be a closed orientable surface of genus at least 2 and let G be a semisimple real algebraic group of non-compact type. We consider a class of representations from the fundamental group of S to G called positively ratioed…
