The aim of this paper is to prove the following result: Let $\pi$ be a set of odd primes. If the group $G=AB$ is the product of two $\pi$-decomposable subgroups $A=A_\pi \times A_{\pi'}$ and $B=B_\pi \times B_{\pi'}$, then $G$ has a unique…

This survey studies pairs $(G,\mathcal{P})$ with $G$ a finitely generated group and $\mathcal{P}$ a (finite) collection of subgroups of $G$. We explore the notion of quasi-isometry of such pairs and the notion of a qi-characteristic…

We study the class of Banach lattices that are positively polynomially Schur. Plenty of examples and counterexamples are provided, lattice properties of this class are proved, arbitrary $L_p(\mu)$-spaces are shown to be positively…

We classify spherical conjugacy classes in a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of good, odd characteristic.

We show that if $p$ is a prime and $G$ is a finite $p$-solvable group satisfying the condition that a prime $q$ divides the degree of no irreducible $p$-Brauer character of $G$, then the normalizer of some Sylow $q$-subgroup of $G$ meets…

Let $\mathbb{K}$ denote a field and let $\mathfrak{X}$ denote a finite non-empty set. Let $\text{Mat}_\mathfrak{X}(\mathbb{K})$ denote the $\mathbb{K}$-algebra consisting of the matrices with entries in $\mathbb{K}$ and rows and columns…

This work is largely inspired by the 2003 Ph.D. thesis \cite{snitz} of Kobi Snitz. In his thesis, Snitz constructed two irreducible, automorphic, cuspidal representations $ \pi $ and $ \pi' $ of the metaplectic group $ G\left ( \mathbb A…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $a\in G$. Let $a^G=\{g^{-1}ag\mid g\in G\}$ be the conjugacy class of $a$ in $G$. Assume that $a^G$ and $b^G$ are conjugacy classes of $G$ with the property that ${\bf C}_G(a)={\bf C}_G(b)$. Then $a^G b^G$ is a…

We introduce and study the notion of relative rigidity for pairs $(X,\JJ)$ where 1) $X$ is a hyperbolic metric space and $\JJ$ a collection of quasiconvex sets 2) $X$ is a relatively hyperbolic group and $\JJ$ the collection of parabolics…

Let $\rho : G \rightarrow \operatorname{O}(V)$ be a real finite dimensional orthogonal representation of a compact Lie group, let $\sigma = (\sigma_1,\ldots,\sigma_n) : V \to \mathbb R^n$, where $\sigma_1,\ldots,\sigma_n$ form a minimal…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $\pi$ be a set of primes. We study finite groups with a large number of conjugacy classes of $\pi$-elements. In particular, we obtain precise lower bounds for this number in terms of the $\pi$-part of the order…

We provide a complete classification of paradoxical closed-loop $n$-linkages, where $n\geq6$, of mobility $n-4$ or higher, containing revolute, prismatic or helical joints. We also explicitly write down strong necessary conditions for…

Suppose $G$ is a locally solid lattice group. It is known that there are non-equivalent classes of bounded homomorphisms on $G$ which have topological structures. In this paper, our attempt is to assign lattice structures on them. More…

Reidemeister (or twisted conjugacy) classes are considered in restricted wreath products of the form $G\wr \mathbb{Z}^k$, where $G$ is a finite group. For an automorphism $\varphi$ of finite order (supposed to be the same for the torsion…

In a previous article [N. Delice, F.W. Nijhoff and S. Yoo-Kong, J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 48(3) (2015), 035206] a novel class of elliptic Lax pairs for integrable lattice equations was introduced. The present article proposes a…

We study the conjugacy classes of the classical affine groups. We derive generating functions for the number of classes analogous to formulas of Wall and the authors for the classical groups. We use these to get good upper bounds for the…

Geometric vertex decomposition and liaison are two frameworks that have been used to produce similar results about similar families of algebraic varieties. In this paper, we establish an explicit connection between these approaches. In…

We consider a finite, connected and simple graph $\Gamma$ that admits a vertex-transitive group of automorphisms $G$. Under the assumption that, for all $x \in V(\Gamma)$, the local action $G_x^{\Gamma(x)}$ is the action of…

We study compact and locally compact topological analogues of the Byott--Vendramin solvability problem for finite skew braces, asking whether solvability of the additive group forces solvability of the multiplicative group. Our main theorem…

For simple algebraic groups defined over algebraically closed fields of good characteristic, we give upper bounds on the covering numbers of unipotent conjugacy classes in terms of their (co)ranks and in terms of their dimensions.
