As announced in [arXiv:0908.2596], we show that the non-passive finite simple groups are among the $PSL_2(q)$ with $q-1 \ge 4$ a 2-power. [arXiv:0908.2596]: Baumeister,Stein,Stroth: On Bruck Loops of 2-power Exponent

Nonlinear ODEs invariant under the group SL(2,R) are solved numerically. We show that solution methods incorporating the Lie point symmetries provide better results than standard methods.

It is a recent observation that entanglement classification for qubits is closely related to local $SL(2,\CC)$-invariants including the invariance under qubit permutations, which has been termed $SL^*$ invariance. In order to single out the…

Given a quasiperiodic cocycle in sl(2, R) sufficiently close to a constant, we prove that it is almost-reducible in ultradifferentiable class under an adapted arithmetic condition on the frequency vector. We also give a corollary on the…

The product replacement algorithm is a practical algorithm to construct random elements of a finite group G. It can be described as a random walk on a graph whose vertices are the generating k-tuples of G (for a fixed k). We show that if G…

Let $G$ be a finite group. A coprime commutator in $G$ is any element that can be written as a commutator $[x,y]$ for suitable $x,y\in G$ such that $\pi(x)\cap\pi(y)=\emptyset$. Here $\pi(g)$ denotes the set of prime divisors of the order…

Let $f\in\mathbb{Z}[X]$ be quadratic or cubic polynomial. We prove that there exists an integer $G_f\geq 2$ such that for every integer $k\geq G_f$ one can find infinitely many integers $n\geq 0$ with the property that none of…

Let $W$ be a Coxeter group of type $\widetilde{A}_{n-1}$. We show that the leading coefficient, $\mu(x, w)$, of the Kazhdan--Lusztig polynomial $P_{x, w}$ is always equal to 0 or 1 if $x$ is fully commutative (and $w$ is arbitrary).

We prove that for any prime $p$ there is a divisible by $p$ number $q = O(p^{30})$ such that for a certain positive integer $a$ coprime with $q$ the ratio $a/q$ has bounded partial quotients. In the other direction we show that there is an…
