This paper provides new, relatively simple proofs of some important results about unipotent classes in simple linear algebraic groups. We derive the formula for the Jordan blocks of the Richardson class of a parabolic subgroup of a…

The order sequence of a finite group $G$ is a non-decreasing finite sequence formed of the element orders of $G$. Several properties of order sequences were studied by P. J. Cameron and H. K. Dey in a recent paper that concludes with a list…

In this paper, we elaborate ring theoretic properties of nodal orders. In particular, we prove that they are closed under taking crossed products with finite groups.

The well-known Formanek's module finiteness theorem states that every unital prime PI-algebra (i.e. a central order in a matrix algebra by Posner's theorem) embeds into a finitely generated module over its center. An analogue of this…

This work presents the conjugacy classes of finite abelian subgroups of the Cremona group of the plane. Using a well-known theory, this problem amounts to the study of automorphism groups of some Del Pezzo surfaces and conic bundles. We…

The results of the renormalization group are commonly advertised as the existence of power law singularities near critical points. The classic predictions are often violated and logarithmic and exponential corrections are treated on a…

Cantor's ordinal numbers, a powerful extension of the natural numbers, are a cornerstone of set theory. They can be used to reason about the termination of processes, prove the consistency of logical systems, and justify some of the core…

In this paper we study primality and primary decomposition of certain ideals which are generated by homogeneous degree $2$ polynomials and occur naturally from determinantal conditions. Normality is derived from these results.

We introduce the theory of normal ordered grammars, which gives a natural generalization of the normal ordering problem. To illustrate the main idea, we explore normal ordered grammars associated with the Eulerian polynomials and the…

The monadic theory of $(\mathbb R,\le)$ with quantification restricted to Borel sets is decidable. The Boolean combinations of $F_\sigma$ sets form an elementary substructure of the Borel sets. Under determinacy hypotheses, the proof…

In 1878, Jordan showed that a finite subgroup of GL(n,C) contains an abelian normal subgroup whose index is bounded by a function of n alone. Previously, the author has given precise bounds. Here, we consider analogues for finite linear…

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…

We show that the compositions of positive integers may be interpreted in terms of powers of some power series, over arbitrary commutative ring. As consequences, several closed formulas for the compositions as well as for the generalized…

Factorization of groups into Zappa-Szep product, or more generally into k-fold Zappa-Szep product of its subgroups, is an interesting problem, since it eases the multiplication of two elements in a group, and has recently been applied for…

This paper provides a bridge between two active areas of research, the spectrum (set of element orders) and the power graph of a finite group. The order sequence of a finite group $G$ is the list of orders of elements of the group, arranged…

In this paper, we introduce a new function related to the sum of element orders of finite groups. It is used to give some criteria for a finite group to be cyclic, abelian, nilpotent, supersolvable and solvable, respectively.

We develop a comprehensive theory of the stable representation categories of several sequences of groups, including the classical and symmetric groups, and their relation to the unstable categories. An important component of this theory is…

We investigate whether the group algebra of a finite group over a localisation of the integers is semiperfect. The main result is a necessary and sufficient arithmetic criterion in the ordinary case. In the modular case, we propose a…

We consider the groups of regular circulant matrices over finite fields and integer residue class rings. In both cases we present a formula for the order of these groups. We also make a first step towards finding the algebraic structure of…

This paper proves a number of flatness results for centralizers of sections of a reductive group scheme over a general base scheme. To this end, we establish relative versions of the Jordan decomposition. Using our results, we obtain a…
