A group is $\frac{3}{2}$-generated if every non-identity element is contained in a generating pair. A conjecture of Breuer, Guralnick and Kantor from 2008 asserts that a finite group is $\frac{3}{2}$-generated if and only if every proper…
The description of complex configuration is a difficult issue. We present a powerful technique for cluster identification and characterization. The scheme is designed to treat with and analyze the experimental and/or simulation data from…
In [Akbari and Moghaddamfar, Recognizing by order and degree pattern of some projective special linear groups, {\it Internat. J. Algebra Comput.}, 2012] the authors possed the following problem: \\ {\bf Problem.} {\it Is there a simple…
We determine precisely which irreducible hypergeometric sheaves have an extraspecial normalizer in characteristic 2 as their geometric monodromy groups. This resolves the last open case of the determination of local monodromy at 0 of…
The additivity with respect to exact sequences is notoriously a fundamental property of the algebraic entropy of group endomorphisms. It was proved for abelian groups by deeply exploiting their structure. On the other hand, a solvable…
We consider the problem of classifying gradings by groups on a finite-dimensional algebra $A$ (with any number of multilinear operations) over an algebraically closed field. We introduce a class of gradings, which we call almost fine, such…
In this paper we study characters on special linear groups SL_n(R), where R is either an infinite field or the localization of an order in a number field. We give several applications to the theory of measure preserving actions,…
Nonlocality is a quintessential signature of nonclassical behaviour and a resource for quantum advantages in communication and computation. The paradoxical correlations witnessed by strong nonlocality undergird the standard probabilistic…
In this document we achieve exact and asymptotic enumeration of words, compositions over a finite group, and/or integer compositions characterized by local restrictions and, separately, subsequence pattern avoidance. We also count…
We present some variations on some of the main open problems on character degrees. We collect some of the methods that have proven to be very useful to work on these problems. These methods are also useful to solve certain problems on zeros…
The Recognition Theorem for graded Lie algebras is an essential ingredient in the classification of finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p > 3. The main goal of this monograph is to…
This paper gives a characterisation of the group G_2(K) over an algebraically closed field K of characteristic not 2 inside the class of simple K*-groups of finite Morley rank not interpreting a bad field using the structure of centralizers…
We develop efficient group-theoretical approach to the problem of classification of evolution equations that admit non-local transformation groups (quasi-local symmetries), i.e., groups involving integrals of the dependent variable. We…
We provide local recognition results for the reflection graphs on spherical Coxeter groups. In particular, we study the case $F_4$ which is locally recognizable under additional constraints only. It is then demonstrated in the cases $A_n$…
The study of localizations of groups has concentrated on group theoretic properties which are preserved by localization. In this paper we look at finitely generated soluble groups and determine when the local groups associated with them are…
The aim of this article is to explore global and local properties of finite groups whose integral group rings have only trivial central units, so-called cut groups. For such a group we study actions of Galois groups on its character table…
We study irreducible restrictions from modules over symmetric groups to subgroups. We get reduction results which substantially restrict the classes of subgroups and modules for which this is possible. Such results are known when the…
We study the quasi-endomorphism ring of infinitely definable subgroups in separably closed fields. Based on the results we obtain, we are able to prove a Mordell-Lang theorem for Drinfeld modules of finite characteristic. Using…
We consider the structure of finite $p$-groups $G$ having precisely three characteristic subgroups, namely $1$, $\Phi(G)$ and $G$. The structure of $G$ varies markedly depending on whether $G$ has exponent $p$ or $p^2$, and, in both cases,…
We derive several identities that feature irreducible characters of the general linear, the symplectic, the orthogonal, and the special orthogonal groups. All the identities feature characters that are indexed by shapes that are "nearly"…
