We define hyperbolic groupoids, generalizing the notion of a Gromov hyperbolic group. Examples of hyperbolic groupoids include actions of Gromov hyperbolic groups on their boundaries, pseudogroups generated by expanding self-coverings,…

The flag variety of a complex reductive linear algebraic group G is by definition the quotient G/B by a Borel subgroup. It can be regarded as the set of Borel subalgebras of Lie(G). Given a nilpotent element e in Lie(G), one calls Springer…

We investigate the configuration where a group of finite Morley rank acts definably and generically $m$-transitively on an elementary abelian $p$-group of Morley rank $n$, where $p$ is an odd prime, and $m\geqslant n$. We conclude that…

The Markoff group of transformations is a group $\Gamma$ of affine integral morphisms, which is known to act transitively on the set of all positive integer solutions to the equation $x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}=xyz$. The fundamental strong…

For finite p-groups P of class 2 and exponent p the following are invariants of fully refined central decompositions of P: the number of members in the decomposition, the multiset of orders of the members, and the multiset of orders of…

Let $G$ be either a non-elementary (word) hyperbolic group or a large group (both in the sense of Gromov). In this paper we describe several approaches for constructing continuous families of periodic quotients of $G$ with various…

We determine the closure of a cyclic subgroup $H$ of a free group for the pro-{\bf V} topology when {\bf V} is an extension-closed pseudovariety of finite groups. We show that $H$ is always closed for the pro-nilpotent topology and compute…

We say that a finite group $G$ acting on a set $\Omega$ has Property $(*)_p$ for a prime $p$ if $P_\omega$ is a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G_\omega$ for all $\omega\in\Omega$ and Sylow $p$-subgroups $P$ of $G$. Property $(*)_p$ arose in the…

We count and give a parametrization of connected components in the space of flags transverse to a given transverse pair in every flag varieties of $\mathrm{SO}_0(p,q)$. We compute the effect the involution of the unipotent radical has on…

Suppose $C(G)$ denotes the set of all cyclic subgroups of a finite group $G$, and $\mathcal{O}_{2}(G)$ denotes the number of elements of order $2$ in $G$. In [Marius T., Finite groups with a certain number of cyclic subgroups. The American…

We study the interplay between the algebraic and dynamical properties of groups that admit a general type action on a $\delta$-hyperbolic space such that the induced action on the limit set of the Gromov boundary is faithful. We divide the…

In this paper we survey a new criteria for solvability of finite groups in terms of number of supersolvable (also known as polycyclic) and non-supersolvable subgroups. In particular, we present original examples of supersolvable groups such…

A group G is a vGBS group if it admits a decomposition as a finite graph of groups with all edge and vertex groups finitely generated and free abelian. We prove that the multiple conjugacy problem is solvable between two n-tuples A and B of…

Let $G$ be a quasi-simple algebraic group defined over an algebraically closed field $k$ and $B$ a Borel subgroup of $G$ acting on the nilradical $\mathfrak{n}$ of its Lie algebra $\mathfrak{b}$ via the Adjoint representation. It is known…

We generalize the classification of isomorphism classes of Schubert varieties in complete flag varieties G/B to a class of partial flag varieties G/P. In particular, we classify all Schubert varieties in G/P where P is a minimal parabolic…

Let $G$ be a group. The orbits of the natural action of Aut$(G)$ on $G$ are called ``automorphism orbits'' of $G$, and the number of automorphism orbits of $G$ is denoted by $\omega(G)$. We prove that if $G$ is a soluble group with finite…

For a positive integer $k$, a group $G$ is said to be totally $k$-closed if in each of its faithful permutation representations, say on a set $\Omega$, $G$ is the largest subgroup of $\operatorname{Sym}(\Omega)$ which leaves invariant each…

Given a short exact sequence of groups with certain conditions, $1\to F\to G\to H\to 1$, we prove that $G$ has solvable conjugacy problem if and only if the corresponding action subgroup $A\leqslant Aut(F)$ is orbit decidable. From this, we…

For noncompact semisimple Lie groups $G$ we study the dynamics of the actions of their discrete subgroups $\Gamma<G$ on the associated partial flag manifolds $G/P$. Our study is based on the observation that they exhibit also in higher rank…
