We construct uncountably categorical 3-nilpotent groups of exponent p > 3. They are not one-based and do not allow the interpretation of an infinite field. Therefore they are counterexamples to Zilbers Conjecture. First 2-nilpotent new…

Let $\Fth$ be a single vertex \textsf{k}-graph, and $\pi_\omega(\O_\theta)"$ be the von Neumann algebra induced from the GNS representation of a distinguished state $\omega$ of its $\textsf{k}$-graph C*-algebra $\O_\theta$. In this paper,…

In group theory the chief factors allow a group to be studied by its representation theory on particularly natural irreducible modules. It is to be expected, therefore, that they will play an important role in the study of Lie algebras. In…

The classical "game of life" (GOL) due to Conway is a famous mathematical game constructed as a two-dimensional cellular automaton in which each cell is either alive or dead. A set of evolutionary rules determines whether a cell dies,…

Symplectic (respectively orthogonal) triple systems provide constructions of Lie algebras (resp. superalgebras). However, in characteristic 3, it is shown that this role can be interchanged and that Lie superalgebras (resp. algebras) can be…

We characterize the group property of being with infinite conjugacy classes (or icc, i.e. infinite and of which all conjugacy classes except {1} are infinite) for groups which are defined by an extension of groups. We give characterizations…

We study a class of algebras we regard as generalized Rock-Paper-Scissors games. We determine when such algebras can exist, show that these algebras generate the varieties generated by hypertournament algebras, count these algebras, study…

In \cite{Ioana:vNsuperrigidity}, Ioana introduced three new invariants of type II$_1$ factors: the one-sided fundamental group, the endomorphism semigroup and the set of right-finite bimodules. In \cite{Ioana:vNsuperrigidity}, he does not…

We prove that for any free ergodic nonsingular nonamenable action \Gamma\ \actson (X,\mu) of all \Gamma\ in a large class of groups including all hyperbolic groups, the associated group measure space factor $L^\infty(X) \rtimes \Gamma$ has…

We survey some of the progress made recently in the classification of von Neumann algebras arising from countable groups and their measure preserving actions on probability spaces. We emphasize results which provide classes of…

This paper includes a series of structural results for von Neumann algebras arising from measure preserving actions by product groups on probability spaces. Expanding upon the methods used earlier by the first two authors \cite{CS}, we…

We present families of pairs of finite von Neumann algebras $A\subset M$ where $A$ is a maximal injective masa in the type $\mathrm{II}_1$ factor $M$ with separable predual. Our results make use of the strong mixing and the asymptotic…

We propose a generalization of non-commutative geometry and gauge theories based on ternary Z_3-graded structures. In the new algebraic structures we define, we leave all products of two entities free, imposing relations on ternary products…

This paper is the third of a series giving a self-contained way from the Neveu-Schwarz algebra to a new series of irreducible subfactors. Here we introduce the local von Neumann algebra of the Neveu-Schwarz algebra, to obtain…

Using a switching operation on tournaments we obtain some new lower bounds on the Tur\'{a}n number of the $r$-graph on $r+1$ vertices with $3$ edges. For $r=4$, extremal examples were constructed using Paley tournaments in previous work. We…

We present a new method to bound the cardinality of triple product sets in groups and give three applications. A new and unexpectedly short proof of the Plunnecke-Ruzsa sumset inequalities for Abelian groups. A new proof of a theorem of Tao…

We construct an universal enveloping algebra associated to the ternary extension of Lie (super)algebras called Lie algebra of order three. A Poincar\'e-Birkhoff-Witt theorem is proven is this context. It this then shown that this universal…

Given a group $G$ and an integer $n\geq2$ we construct a new group $\tilde{{\cal K}}(G,n)$. Although this construction naturally occurs in the context of finding new invariants for complex algebraic surfaces, it is related to the theory of…

We construct a collection of higher Chow cycles on certain surfaces which degenerate to an arrangement of planes in general position. When its degree is 4, this construction gives a new explicit proof of the Hodge-D-Conjecture for a certain…

A method based on the quantum Calogero-Sutherland model is used to obtain generating functions for characters and multiplicities of $A_3$. Some comments on other rank three algebras are offered.
