During the past three decades fundamental progress has been made on constructing large torsion-free subgroups (i.e. subgroups of finite index) of the unit group $\U (\Z G)$ of the integral group ring $\Z G$ of a finite group $G$. These…

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $H$ be a subgroup of $G$. We say that $H$ is extremely closed in $G$ if $\langle H,H^g\rangle\cap N_G(H)=H$ for all $g\in G.$ In this paper, we determine the structure of finite groups with an extremely…

A structure is called weakly oligomorphic if it realizes only finitely many n-ary positive existential types for every n. The goal of this paper is to show that the notions of homomorphism-homogeneity, and weak oligomorphy are not only…

M. Bestvina has shown that for any given torsion-free CAT(0) group G, all of its boundaries are shape equivalent. He then posed the question of whether they satisfy the stronger condition of being cell-like equivalent. In this article we…

We construct two families of refinements of the (projectivized) support variety of a finite dimensional module $M$ for a finite group scheme $G$. For an arbitrary finite group scheme, we associate a family of {\it non maximal rank…

We determine the structure of the weak*-closed $G$-invariant ideals in the Fourier-Stieltjes algebra $B(G)$ of certain groups $G$ by means of a $K$-theoretical obstruction. The groups to which this applies are groups whose only irreducible…

We argue that weak containment is an appropriate notion of amenability for inverse semigroups. Given an inverse semigroup $S$ and a homomorphism $\phi$ of $S$ onto a group $G$, we show, under an assumption on $\ker(\phi)$, that $S$ has weak…

In this paper we discuss the problem of existence of so called weak Sierpi\'nski sets in groups. It is known that group $G$ has a Sierpi\'nski subset if and only if it contains a free subgroup. In their paper, Tomkowicz and Wagon…

We extend Mazzola's counterpoint model using category theory, generalizing from the category $\mathbf{Set}$ to other topoi with suitable properties. This generalization suggests that counterpoint's essential structure depends on specific…

For many years, I have been interested in introducing students to the development of complex systems by means of modelling and refinement. To this end, I did not find anything better than presenting many examples of system developments.…

The main result of this paper (Theorem B) asserts that under natural conditions, any weakly-split Tits system in G(k), G a reductive or quasi-reductive group over an arbitrary field k, is the standard one.

Models of dependent type theories are contextual categories with some additional structure. We prove that if a theory $T$ has enough structure, then the category $T\text{-}\mathbf{Mod}$ of its models carries the structure of a model…

Does every one-ended $CAT(0)$ group have semistable fundamental group at infinity? As we write, this is an open question. Let $G$ be such a group acting geometrically on the proper $CAT(0)$ space $X$. In this paper we show that in order to…

Let $\mathcal F$ be a saturated fusion system on a finite $p$-group $S$, and let $P$ be a strongly $\mathcal F$-closed subgroup of $S$. We define the concept ``$\mathcal F$-essential subgroups with respect to $P$" which are some proper…

In this paper, we establish a theorem that proves a condition when an inclusion morphism between simplicial sets becomes a weak homotopy equivalence. Additionally, we present two applications of this result. The first application…

We study the dependent type theory CaTT, introduced by Finster and Mimram, which presents the theory of weak $\omega$-categories, following the idea that type theories can be considered as presentations of generalized algebraic theories.…

Let $k$ be a field and let $G$ be an affine algebraic group over $k$. Call a $G$-torsor weakly versal for a class of $k$-schemes $\cal C$ if it specializes to every $G$-torsor over a scheme in $\cal C$. A recent result of the first author,…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $N_{\Omega}(G)$ be the intersection of the normalizers of all subgroups belonging to the set $\Omega(G),$ where $\Omega(G)$ is a set of all subgroups of $G$ which have some theoretical group property. In this…

A B-group is a group such that all its minimal generating sets (with respect to inclusion) have the same size. We prove that the class of finite B-groups is closed under taking quotients and that every finite B-group is solvable. Via a…

We prove that if G is a discrete group that admits a metrically proper action on a finite-dimensional CAT(0) cube complex X, then G is weakly amenable. We do this by constructing uniformly bounded Hilbert space representations for which the…
