Let w be an element of the Weyl group of a reductive group G defined and split over a finite field. We consider the variety of triples (g,B,B') where g is a unipotent element of G and B, B' are Borel subgroups of G such that B contains g…
Let $RG$ be the group ring of a finite group $G$ over a commutative ring $R$ with $1$. An element $x$ in $RG$ is said to be skew-symmetric with respect to an involution $\sigma$ of $RG$ if $\sigma(x)=-x.$ A structure theorem for the…
Let S_n be the symmetric group on n-letters. Fix n>5. Given any nontrivial $\alpha,\beta\in S_n$, we prove that the product $\alpha^{S_n}\beta^{S_n}$ of the conjugacy classes $\alpha^{S_n}$ and $\beta^{S_n}$ is never a conjugacy class.…
In this article, we continue our study of category dynamical systems, that is functors $s$ from a category $G$ to $\Top^{\op}$, and their corresponding skew category algebras. Suppose that the spaces $s(e)$, for $e \in \ob(G)$, are compact…
Let w be an elliptic element of the Weyl group of a connected reductive group G. Let X be the set of pairs (g,B) where g is an element of G, B is a Borel subgroup of G and B,gBg^{-1} are in relative position w. Then G acts naturally on X.…
Three generation heterotic-string vacua in the free fermionic formulation gave rise to models with solely the MSSM states in the observable Standard Model charged sector. The relation of these models to Z_2 x Z_2 orbifold compactifications…
We analyse for which $n$ there exist in $G=A_n,S_n$ two proper subgroups $H,K$ such that $G$ is the union of the $G$-conjugacy classes of $H$ and $K$.
A hemiimplicative semilattice is a bounded semilattice $(A, \wedge, 1)$ endowed with a binary operation $\to$, satisfying that for every $a, b, c \in A$, $a \leq b \to c$ implies $a \wedge b \leq c$ (that is to say, one of the conditionals…
Let $\mathcal A:U\to V$ be a linear mapping between vector spaces $U$ and $V$ over a field or skew field $\mathbb F$ with symmetric, or skew-symmetric, or Hermitian forms $\mathcal B:U\times U\to\mathbb F$ and $\mathcal C:V\times…
Let G be a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero or positive odd, good characteristic. Let B be a Borel subgroup of G. We show that the spherical conjugacy classes of G intersect only the double…
Consider the conjugation action of the general linear group $\operatorname{GL}_{2}(K)$ on the polynomial ring $K[X_{2 \times 2}]$. When $K$ is an infinite field, the ring of invariants is a polynomial ring generated by the trace and the…
We are interested in semigroups of the form $\langle G,a\rangle\setminus G$, where $G$ is a permutation group of degree $n$ and $a$ a non-permutation on the domain of $G$. A theorem of the first author, Mitchell and Schneider shows that, if…
Although the conjugacy classes of the general linear group are known, it is not obvious (from the canonic form of matrices) that two permutation matrices are similar if and only if they are conjugate as permutations in the symmetric group,…
Let $G$ be a connected semisimple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, and let $\th$ be an automorphism of $G$. We give a characterization of $\th$-twisted spherical conjugacy classes in $G$ by a…
In 2005 Wolfgang Willems put forward a conjecture proposing a lower bound for the sum of squares of the degrees of the irreducible $p$-Brauer characters of a finite group $G$. We prove this conjecture for the prime $p=2$. For this we rely…
We study conjugacy relations on semigroups and monoids, focusing on the relation $a \cfn b$, defined by the existence of $g,h \in S^1$ such that $ag = gb$, $bh = ha$, $hag = b$, and $gbh = a$. This notion emerged as one that yields…
A group $G$ is called subgroup conjugacy separable if for every pair of non-conjugate finitely generated subgroups of $G$, there exists a finite quotient of $G$ where the images of these subgroups are not conjugate. We prove that limit…
Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for a $G$-graded simple module over a unital associative algebra, graded by an abelian group $G$, to be isomorphic to a loop module of a simple module, as well as for two such loop modules to be…
This paper presents results on structures in P based on tools developed from subjects of elementary number theory. Key findings are: The arithmetical sequence H = (+-3*2; 1) is in Z the smallest superset of P \ {3, 2}. H is a semigroup. A…
We consider an evolution algebra which corresponds to a bisexual population with a set of females partitioned into finitely many different types and the males having only one type. We study basic properties of the algebra. This algebra is…
