Let X be a smooth projective curve of genus g bigger then 2. For any vector bundle E on X let M_k(E) be the scheme of all rank k subbundles of E with maximal degree. For every integers r, k and x with 0<k<r, x positive and either x less…

Let G = SL(n,R) (or, more generally, let G be a connected, noncompact, simple Lie group). For any compact Lie group K, it is easy to find a compact manifold M, such that there is a volume-preserving, connection-preserving, ergodic action of…

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $K$ of characteristic $p\geqslant 0$, let $H$ be a proper closed subgroup of $G$ and let $V$ be a nontrivial irreducible $KG$-module, which is $p$-restricted, tensor…

Let $\Omega$ be a set of cardinality $n$, $G$ a permutation group on $\Omega$, and $f:\Omega\to\Omega$ a map which is not a permutation. We say that $G$ synchronizes $f$ if the semigroup $\langle G,f\rangle$ contains a constant map. The…

Let $G$ be a connected real Lie group with associated Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$, and let ${\rm Aut}(G)$ be the group of (Lie) automorphisms of $G$. It is noted here that, given a super-solvable subgroup $\Gamma\subset {\rm Aut}(G)$ of…

The minimal faithful permutation degree $\mu(G)$ of a finite group $G$ is the least integer $n$ such that $G$ is isomorphic to a subgroup of the symmetric group $S_n$. If $G$ has a normal subgroup $N$ such that $\mu(G/N) > \mu(G)$, then $G$…

A generating set for a finite group $G$ is said to be minimal if no proper subset generates $G$, and $m(G)$ denotes the maximal size of a minimal generating set for $G$. We prove a conjecture of Lucchini, Moscatiello and Spiga by showing…

Let $k$ be an algebraically-closed field, and $B$ a unital, associative $k$-algebra with $n := \dim_kB < \infty$. For each $1 \le m \le n$, the collection of all $m$-dimensional subalgebras of $B$ carries the structure of a projective…

For the $p$-Sylow subgroups $U$ of the finite classical groups of untwisted Lie type, $p$ an odd prime, we construct a monomial $\mathbb C U$-module $M$ which is isomorphic to the regular representation of $\mathbb C G$ by a modification of…

Let $G$ be a group. A ring $R$ is called a graded ring (or $G$-graded ring) if there exist additive subgroups $R_{\alpha }$ of $R$ indexed by the elements $\alpha \in G$ such that $R=\bigoplus_{\alpha \in G}R_{\alpha }$ and $R_{\alpha…

Let G be a connected and reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p > 0. An interesting class of representations of G consists of those G-modules having a good filtration -- i.e. a filtration whose…

We study the representation growth of alternating and symmetric groups in positive characteristic and restricted representation growth for the finite groups of Lie type. We show that the the number of representations of dimension at most n…

Let $E$ be a rank 2, degree $d$ vector bundle over a genus $g$ curve $C$. The loci of stable pairs on $E$ in class $2[C]$ fixed by the scaling action are expressed as products of $\Quot$ schemes. Using virtual localization, the stable pairs…

Various descending chains of subgroups of a finite permutation group can be used to define a sequence of `basic' permutation groups that are analogues of composition factors for abstract finite groups. Primitive groups have been the…

Let $M$ be a maximal subgroup of a finite group $G$ and $K/L$ be a chief factor such that $L\leq M$ while $K\nsubseteq M$. We call the group $M\cap K/L$ a $c$\ns section of $M$. And we define $Sec(M)$ to be the abstract group that is…

Let $G$ be a transitive normal subgroup of a permutation group $A$ of finite degree $n$. The factor group $A/G$ can be considered as a certain Galois group and one would like to bound its size. One of the results of the paper is that $|A/G|…
