This thesis is devoted to the proof of a theorem showing the existence of a closed model category structure for weakly enriched categories. It requires first of all the definitions of weakly enriched categories and equivalences of weakly…

For a simple algebraic group G in characteristic p, a triple (a,b,c) of positive integers is said to be rigid for G if the dimensions of the subvarieties of G of elements of order dividing a,b,c sum to 2dim G. In this paper we complete the…

For \ell \neq p odd primes, we examine PSL_2(\ell)-covers of the projective line branched at one point over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p, where PSL_2(\ell) has order divisible by p. We show that such covers can be…

Three conjectures #1999--8, #1999--9 and #1999--10 which were posed by V. Arnold [2] and devoted to the statistics of the numerical semigroups are refuted for the case of semigroups generated by three positive integers d_1,d_2,d_3 with…

We prove that for every $\epsilon > 0$ there exists a $\delta > 0$ so that every group of order $n \geq 3$ has at least $\delta \log_{2} n/{(\log_{2} \log_{2} n)}^{3+\epsilon}$ conjugacy classes. This sharpens earlier results of Pyber and…

We prove the closure for the sequential weak $L^p$-topology of the class of vectorfields on $B^3$ having integer flux through almost every sphere. We show how this problem is connected to the study of the minimization problem for the…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $\mathcal{A}_p(G)$ be the poset of nontrivial elementary abelian $p$-subgroups of $G$. Quillen conjectured that $O_p(G)$ is nontrivial if $\mathcal{A}_p(G)$ is contractible. We prove that $O_p(G)\neq 1$ for any…

Recent results established exponential lower bounds for the length of any Resolution proof for the weak pigeonhole principle. More formally, it was proved that any Resolution proof for the weak pigeonhole principle, with $n$ holes and any…

We present an $O(n\log n)$-time algorithm that determines whether a given planar $n$-gon is weakly simple. This improves upon an $O(n^2\log n)$-time algorithm by Chang, Erickson, and Xu (2015). Weakly simple polygons are required as input…

In 2000, L. H\'{e}thelyi and B. K\"{u}lshammer proved that if $p$ is a prime number dividing the order of a finite solvable group $G$, then $G$ has at least $2\sqrt{p-1}$ conjugacy classes. In this paper we show that if $p$ is large, the…

We present existence results for weak solutions to a broad class of degenerate McKean-Vlasov equations with rough coefficients, expanding upon and refining the techniques recently introduced by the third author. Under certain structural…

We determine the structure of the finite non-solvable groups of order divisible by $3$ all whose maximal subgroups of order divisible by $3$ are supersolvable. Precisely, we demonstrate that if $G$ is a finite non-solvable group satisfying…

We study the existence and regularity of weak solutions to the following quasilinear elliptic system: \[ -\mathrm{div}(A_k(x, u_k) |\nabla u_k|^{p_k - 2} \nabla u_k) + \dfrac{1}{p_k} D_s A_k(x, u_k) |\nabla u_k|^{p_k} = g_k(x, u) \quad…

For Tur\'an's (3, 4)-conjecture, in the case of n = 3k+1 vertices, (.5)6^{k-1} non-isomorphic complexes are constructed that attain the conjecture. In the case of n = 3k+2 vertices, 6^{k-1} non-isomorphic complexes are constructed that…

This paper provides some evidence for conjectural relations between extensions of (right) weak order on Coxeter groups, closure operators on root systems, and Bruhat order. The conjecture focused upon here refines an earlier question as to…

We construct $(P_2)$-closed groups acting on $T_3$ in which all edge inversions have infinite order. This provides a negative answer to a question posed by Tornier. We also construct a family of $(P_2)$-closed groups for which the smallest…

We give a reduction of Donovan's conjecture for abelian groups to a similar statement for quasisimple groups. Consequently we show that Donovan's conjecture holds for abelian $2$-groups.

We introduce a new higher categorical structure called a weakly globular n-fold category. This structure is based on iterated internal categories and on the notion of weak globularity. We identify a suitable class of pseudo-functors whose…

A p-compact group, as defined by Dwyer and Wilkerson, is a purely homotopically defined p-local analog of a compact Lie group. It has long been the hope, and later the conjecture, that these objects should have a classification similar to…

We prove that every $3$-graph $H$ on $n$ vertices with minimum codegree $\delta_2(H) \geq 7n/9 + o(n)$ contains the square of a tight Hamilton cycle. This strengthens a theorem of Bedenknecht and Reiher that $\delta_2(H) \geq 4n/5 + o(n)$…
