A cocycle category H(X,Y) is defined for objects X and Y in a model category, and it is shown that the set of morphisms [X,Y] is isomorphic to the set of path components of H(X,Y) provided the ambient model category is right proper and…

Let $G$ be a finite group, $\Z G$ the integral group ring of $G$ and $\U(\Z G)$ the group of units of $\Z G$. The Congruence Subgroup Problem for $\U(\Z G)$ is the problem of deciding if every subgroup of finite index of $\U(\Z G)$ contains…

This paper introduces gluing diagrams a combinatorial tool to construct homomorphisms between the shift pseudogroups of directed graphs and thus also their full groups of shifts. We will establish which of these diagrams produce…

Homomorphically full graphs are those for which every homomorphic image is isomorphic to a subgraph. We extend the definition of homomorphically full to oriented graphs in two different ways. For the first of these, we show that…

A group homomorphism eta:H-->G is called a localization of H if every homomorphism phi:H-->G can be `extended uniquely' to a homomorphism Phi:G-->G in the sense that Phi eta=phi. Libman showed that a localization of a finite group need not…

A finite group $G$ is called an F-group if for every $x, y \in G \setminus Z(G)$, $C(x) \leq C(y)$ implies that $C(x) = C(y)$. On the otherhand, two elements of a group are said to be $z$-equivalent or in the same $z$-class if their…

If G and H are finitely generated, residually nilpotent metabelian groups, H is termed para-G if there is a homomorphism of G into H which induces an isomorphism between the corresponding terms of their lower central quotient groups. We…

There is no systematic general procedure by which isomorphism classes of Hopf algebras that are extensions of $\k F$ by ${\k}^G$ can be found. We develop the general procedure for classification of isomorphism classes of Hopf algebras which…

It is well known that if two finite groups have the same symmetric tensor categories of representations over C, then they are isomorphic. We study the following question: when do two finite groups G1,G2 have the same tensor categories of…

We develop a representation theory of categories as a means to explore characteristic structures in algebra. Characteristic structures play a critical role in isomorphism testing of groups and algebras, and their construction and…

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…

For a given Hopf algebra $A$ we classify all Hopf algebras $E$ that are coalgebra split extensions of $A$ by $H_4$, where $H_4$ is the Sweedler's 4-dimensional Hopf algebra. Equivalently, we classify all crossed products of Hopf algebras $A…

Let $X$ be a finite set such that $|X|=n$. Let $\trans$ and $\sym$ denote respectively the transformation monoid and the symmetric group on $n$ points. Given $a\in \trans\setminus \sym$, we say that a group $G\leq \sym$ is $a$-normalizing…

In this article, we investigate the category $\mathcal{A}^G$ of equivariant objects of an additive category $\mathcal{A}$ with respect to an action of a finite group $G$. We show that if $G$ is solvable then we can reconstruct $\mathcal{A}$…

The main result concerns a bicategorical factorization system on the bicategory $\mathrm{Cat}$ of categories and functors. Each functor $A\xra{f} B$ factors up to isomorphism as $A\xra{j}E\xra{p}B$ where $j$ is what we call an ultimate…

Let G be a finite group. We study the group of G-equivariant self-homotopy equivalences of product of G-spaces. For a product of n-spaces, we represent it as product of n-subgroups under the assumption of equivariant reducibility. Further…

We classify up to equivalence the gradings on Hurwitz superalgebras and on symmetric composition superalgebras, over any field. Also, classifications up to isomorphism are given in case the field is algebraically closed. By grading, here we…

We compute the cohomology with group ring coefficients of the complement of a finite collection of affine hyperplanes in a finite dimensional complex vector space. It is nonzero in exactly one degree, namely the degree equal to the rank of…

This paper explores the interplay between category theory, topology, and the algebraic theory of finite groups. Our analysis unfolds in three stages. First, we establish the foundational universe of our objects: the complete and cocomplete…

We consider the following problem for a fixed graph H: given a graph G and two H-colorings of G, i.e. homomorphisms from G to H, can one be transformed (reconfigured) into the other by changing one color at a time, maintaining an H-coloring…
