We prove that if G is a sufficiently large finite almost simple group of Lie type, then given a fixed nontrivial element x in G and a coset of G modulo its socle, the probability that x and a random element of the coset generate a subgroup…
The present survey aims at being a list of Conjectures and Problems in an area of model-theoretic algebra wide open for research, not a list of known results. To keep the text compact, it focuses on structures of finite Morley rank,…
A skeleton of the category with finite coproducts D freely generated by a single object has a subcategory isomorphic to a skeleton of the category with finite products C freely generated by a countable set of objects. As a consequence, we…
We define the decomposition property for partial actions of discrete groups on $C^*$-algebras. Decomposable partial systems appear naturally in practice, and many commonly occurring partial actions can be decomposed into partial actions…
We investigate the proportion of fixed point free permutations (derangements) in finite transitive permutation groups. This article is the first in a series where we prove a conjecture of Shalev that the proportion of such elements is…
We review the cumulant decomposition (a way of decomposing the expectation of a product of random variables (e.g. $\mathbb{E}[XYZ]$) into a sum of terms corresponding to partitions of these variables.) and the Wick decomposition (a way of…
We classify all finite groups G such that the product of any two non-inverse conjugacy classes of G is always a conjugacy class of G. We also classify all finite groups G for which the product of any two G-conjugacy classes which are not…
This article is a survey of conjectures and results on reductive algebraic groups having good reduction at a suitable set of discrete valuations of the base field. Until recently, this subject has received relatively little attention, but…
We introduce the notion of the depth of a finite group $G$, defined as the minimal length of an unrefinable chain of subgroups from $G$ to the trivial subgroup. In this paper we investigate the depth of (non-abelian) finite simple groups.…
We construct a finitely generated group that does not satisfy the generalized Burghelea conjecture.
We first note that a result of Gowers on product-free sets in groups has an unexpected consequence: If k is the minimal degree of a representation of the finite group G, then for every subset B of G with $|B| > |G| / k^{1/3}$ we have B^3 =…
We present a new notion of non-positively curved groups: the collection of discrete countable groups acting (AU-)acylindrically on finite products of $\delta$-hyperbolic spaces with general type factors. Inspired by the classical theory of…
We partly generalize the estimate for the rank of intersection of subgroups in free products of groups, proved earlier by S.V.Ivanov and W.Dicks, to the case of free amalgamated products of groups with normal finite amalgamated subgroup. We…
We prove continuity results for abstract epimorphisms of locally compact groups onto finitely generated groups.
We consider the class of finitely generated groups which have a normal form computable in logspace. We prove that the class of such groups is closed under finite extensions, finite index subgroups, direct products, wreath products, and also…
Fundamental conjectures in modular representation theory of finite groups, more precisely, Alperin's Weight Conjecture and Robinson's Ordinary Weight Conjecture, can be expressed in terms of fusion systems. We use fusion systems to connect…
We introduce some deformations of the biset category and prove a semisimplicity property. We also consider another group category, called the subgroup category, whose morphisms are subgroups of direct products, the composition being star…
We provide structural criteria for some finite factorised groups $G = AB$ when the conjugacy class sizes in $G$ of certain $\pi$-elements in $A\cup B$ are either $\pi$-numbers or $\pi'$-numbers, for a set of primes $\pi$. In particular, we…
In this paper, we give a proof of Vogan's fundamental parallelepiped (FPP) conjecture for complex simple Lie groups, resulting in a reduction step in the classification of irreducible unitary representations for these groups.
In Finite Group Modular Representation Theory, the basic objects are the indecomposable and simple modules. This paper offers a new classification of these objects that refines the Green Theory Classification of indecomposable and simple…
