The structure of a certain subgroup $S$ of the automorphism group of a partially commutative group (RAAG) $G$ is described in detail: namely the subgroup generated by inversions and elementary transvections. We define admissible subsets of…

At variance from the cases of relative equilibria and relative periodic orbits of dynamical systems with symmetry, the dynamics in relative quasi-periodic tori (namely, subsets of the phase space that project to an invariant torus of the…

We show that the moduli space of stable n-pointed rational curves can be flatly degenerated to a projective toric variety. We arrive at this by showing that the Chow quotients of the Grassmannians admit toric degenerations, which in turn,…

Suppose that $\tilde{G}$ is a connected reductive group defined over a field $k$, and $\Gamma$ is a finite group acting via $k$-automorphisms of $\tilde{G}$ satisfying a certain quasi-semisimplicity condition. Then the connected part of the…

The purpose of this paper is to give a partial positive answer to a question raised by Khurana et al. as to whether a ring $R$ with stable range one and central units is commutative. We show that this is the case under any of the following…

We study the partial resolutions of singularities related to Hilbert schemes of points on an affine space. Consider a quotient of a vector space $V$ by an action of a finite group $G$ of linear transforms. Under some additional assumptions,…

We revisit the symmetries of massless two-dimensional adjoint QCD with gauge group $SU(N)$. The dynamics is not sufficiently constrained by the ordinary symmetries and anomalies. Here we show that the theory in fact admits $\sim 2^{2N}$…

Goodwillie's rational isomorphism between relative algebraic K-theory and relative cyclic homology, together with the lambda decomposition of cyclic homology, illustrates the close relationships among algebraic K-theory, cyclic homology,…

We call a reductive complex group $G$ quasi-toral if $G^0$ is a torus. Let $G$ be quasi-toral and let $V$ be a faithful $1$-modular $G$-module. Let $N$ (the shell) be the zero fiber of the canonical moment mapping $\mu\colon V\oplus…

\input amssym.def \input amssym.tex Let $G$ be a connected algebraic reductive group over an algebraic closure of a prime field ${\Bbb F}_p$, defined over ${\Bbb F}_q$ thanks to a Frobenius $F$. Let $\ell$ be a prime different from $p$. Let…

Given a classical symmetric pair, $(G,K)$, with $\mathfrak g = Lie(G)$, we provide descriptions of the Hilbert series of the algebra of $K$-invariant vectors in the associated graded algebra of $\mathcal U(\mathfrak g)$ viewed as a…

Permutative automorphisms of the Cuntz algebras $\mathcal{O}_n$ are in bijection with the stable permutations of $[n]^k$. They are also the elements of the restricted Weyl group of $Aut(\mathcal{O}_n)$. In this note, we characterize a class…

We prove a myriad of results related to the stabilizer in an algebraic group $G$ of a generic vector in a representation $V$ of $G$ over an algebraically closed field $k$. Our results are on the level of group schemes, which carries more…

Let $G$ be a finite group of Lie type $E_6$ over $F_q$ (adjoint or simply connected) and $W$ be the Weyl group of $G$. We describe maximal tori $T$ such that $T$ has a complement in its algebraic normalizer $N(G,T)$. It is well known that…

Replacing invertibility with quasi-invertibility in Bass' first stable range condition we discover a new class of rings, the QB-rings. These constitute a considerable enlargement of the class of rings with stable rank one (B-rings), and…

Let $G$ be an almost simple group with socle $A_n$, the alternating group of degree $n$. We prove that there is a unit of order $pq$ in the integral group ring of $G$ if and only if there is an element of that order in $G$ provided $p$ and…

Let G/K be an irreducible Riemannian symmetric space of the non-compact type and denote by \Xi the associated crown domain. We show that for any proper action of a cyclic group \Gamma the quotient \Xi/\Gamma is Stein. An analogous statement…

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…

We prove relative versions of many earlier results about almost invariant sets and splittings of groups. In particular, we prove a relative version of the algebraic torus theorem, and we prove the existence and uniqueness of relative…

Let $H$ be a closed subgroup of a regular abelian paratopological group $G$. The group reflexion $G^\flat$ of $G$ is the group $G$ endowed with the strongest group topology, weaker that the original topology of $G$. We show that the…
