We examine properties of generic automorphisms of the random poset, with the goal of explicitly characterizing them. We associate to each automorphism an auxiliary first-order structure, consisting of the random poset equipped with an…

If the inverse of a nonsingular polynomial matrix $L$ has a polynomial part then one can associate with $L$ a module over the ring of proper rational functions, which is related to the structure of $L$ at infinity. In this paper we…

Using combinatorics and character theory, we determine the imprimitive faithful complex characters, i.e., the irreducible faithful complex characters which are induced from proper subgroups, of the Schur covers of the symmetric and…

We determine the decomposition numbers of the partition algebra when the characteristic of the ground field is zero or larger than the degree of the partition algebra. This will allow us to determine for which exact values of the parameter…

The aim of this paper is twofold. First, we study the number of partitions of a positive integer $m$ into at most $n$ parts in a given set $A$. We prove that such a number is bounded by the $n$-th Fibonacci number $F(n)$ for any $m$ and…

We derive several identities that feature irreducible characters of the general linear, the symplectic, the orthogonal, and the special orthogonal groups. All the identities feature characters that are indexed by shapes that are "nearly"…

A subset $A$ of $\mathbb{N}$ is called an IP-set if $A$ contains all finite sums of distinct terms of some infinite sequence $(x_n)_{n\in \mathbb{N}} $ of natural numbers. Central sets, first introduced by Furstenberg using notions from…

Over fields of characteristic zero, there are well known constructions of the irreducible representations, due to A Young, and of irreducible modules, called Specht modules, due to W Specht, for the symmetric groups $S_{n}$ which are based…

We construct new families of U_q(gl_n)-modules by continuation from finite dimensional representations. Each such module is associated with a combinatorial object - admissible set of relations defined in \cite{FRZ}. More precisely, we prove…

We use folding techniques to define a new class of gentle-like algebras that generalise the iterated tilted algebras of type $C$ and $\widetilde{C}$, which we call folded gentle algebras. We then show that folded gentle algebras satisfy…

Motivated by the definition of Freiman homomorphism, we explore the possibilities of formulating some basic notions and techniques of additive combinatorics in a categorical language. We show that additive sets and Freiman homomorphisms…

Let F be a nonarchimedean local field of odd residual characteristic p. We classify finite-dimensional simple right modules for the pro-p-Iwahori-Hecke algebra $\mathcal{H}_C(G,I(1))$, where G is the unramified unitary group U(2,1)(E/F) in…

We consider the infinite symmetric group and its infinite index subgroup given as the stabilizer subgroup of one element under the natural action on a countable set. This inclusion of discrete groups induces a hyperfinite subfactor for each…

In this paper branching rules for the fundamental representations of the symplectic groups in positive characteristic are found. The submodule structure of the restrictions of the fundamental modules for the group $Sp_{2n}(K)$ to the…

We realize the integral Specht modules for the symmetric group $S_n$ as induced modules from the subalgebra of the group algebra generated by the Jucys-Murphy elements. We deduce from this that the simple modules for $FS_n$ are generated by…

We introduce a way of describing cohomology of the symmetric groups with coefficients in Specht modules over Z or F_p. We study i-th-degree cohomology for i in {0,1,2}. The focus lies on the isomorphism type of second-degree cohomology of…

We construct a complex $\mathcal{L}_\bullet^\lambda$ resolving the irreducible representations $\mathcal{S}^{\lambda[n]}$ of the symmetric groups $S_n$ by representations restricted from $GL_n(k)$. This construction lifts to…

We study a family of groups consisting of the simplest extensions of lamplighter groups. We use these groups to answer multiple open questions in combinatorial group theory, providing groups that exhibit various combinations of properties:…

We classify the subsets of a group by their sizes, formalize the basic methods of partitions and apply them to partition a group to subsets of prescribed sizes.

A new family of polynomials, called cumulant polynomial sequence, and its extensions to the multivariate case is introduced relied on a purely symbolic combinatorial method. The coefficients of these polynomials are cumulants, but depending…
