We present simple graph-theoretic characterizations of Cayley graphs for monoids, semigroups and groups. We extend these characterizations to commutative monoids, semilattices, and abelian groups.

We prove a new kind of stabilisation result, "secondary homological stability", for the homology of mapping class groups of orientable surfaces with one boundary component. These results are obtained by constructing CW approximations to the…

$N$ conformal theory models $WD^{(p)}_{3}$ coupled locally by their energy operators are analyzed by means of a perturbative renormalization group. New non-trivial fixed points are found.

We determine which quasi-simple groups have a non-principal $2$-block that is stable under complex conjugation. As a corollary, we determine that the Mathieu group $M_{22}$ is the only simple group not possessing a nontrivial irreducible…

We show that K2 of "sufficiently regular" localisations of local rings (e.g. inverting a sequence of regular parameters) can be described by the Steinberg presentation. The proof is inductive on the number of irreducible elements being…

The approach of Berezin to the quantization of so(n,2) via generalized coherent states is considered in detail. A family of n commuting observables is found in which the basis for an associated Fock-type representation space is expressed.…

We show that every subset of SL_2(Z/pZ) grows rapidly when it acts on itself by the group operation. It follows readily that, for every set of generators A of SL_2(Z/pZ), every element of SL_2(Z/pZ) can be expressed as a product of at most…

We analyse the complexity of constructing involution centralisers in unitary groups over fields of odd order. In particular, we prove logarithmic bounds on the number of random elements required to generate a subgroup of the centraliser of…

Let $G$ be a simple simply connected algebraic group scheme defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p > 0$. Let $T$ be a maximal split torus in $G$, $B \supset T$ be a Borel subgroup of $G$ and $U$ its unipotent…

We give algebraic characterizations of the type I and CCR properties for locally compact second countable, ample Hausdorff groupoids in terms of subquotients of their Boolean inverse semigroups of compact open bisections. It yields in turn…

In this note, the existence of noninner automorphisms of order 2 for finite 2-groups of coclass 2 is proved. Combining our result with a recent one due to Y. Guerboussa and M. Reguiat (see arXiv:1301.0085), we prove that every finite…

A Coxeter system is an ordered pair (W,S) where S is the generating set in a particular type of presentation for the Coxeter group W. A subgroup of W is called special if it is generated by a subset of S. Amalgamated product decompositions…

In 'The essentially chief series of a compactly generated locally compact group', an analogue of chief series for finite groups is discovered for compactly generated locally compact groups. In the present article, we show that chief factors…

We construct here the first known examples of non-split sharply 2-transitive groups of bounded exponent in odd positive characteristic for every large enough prime $p \equiv 3 \pmod{4}$. In fact, we show that there are countably many…

A connected component of an affine algebraic group is called periodic if all its elements have finite order. We give a characterization of periodic components in terms of automorphisms with finite number of fixed points. It is also…

In this paper we characterize all of Cayley graphs on dihedral groups with metric dimension two.

Let G be a finite solvable permutation group. Then modulo a possibly trivial normal elementary abelian 3-subgroup, some set-stabilizer in G is a 2-group.

In the first three sections, we develop some basic facts about hypergeometric sheaves on the multiplicative group ${\mathbb G}_m$ in characteristic $p >0$. In the fourth and fifth sections, we specialize to quite special classses of…

In this paper, a direct continuation of math.DG/0411165, we generalize S. Lie's linearization criterion of an ordinary second order differential equation to the case of several independent variables (x^1, x^2 ..., x^n), n >1, and a single…

Let $G$ be a finite group. We study the generalized character defined by $\Xi(g)=|G|o(g)$, for $g\in G$, which is closely related to a function that has been very studied recently from a group theoretical point of view.
