For $n \in \mathbb{N}$ and a commutative ring $R$ with $2 \in R^{\times}$, the group $SL_n (R)$ acts on the set $Um_n (R)$ of unimodular vectors of length $n$ and $Spin_{2n}(R)$ acts on the set of unit vectors $U_{2n-1}(R)$. We give an…

We prove, by a straight construction, that the automorphism group of the measure algebra and the subgroup of the measure preserving ones cannot be isomorphic to the trivial automorphisms of P(N)/fin.

We prove that there are infinitely many pairwise non-commensurable hyperbolic $n$-manifolds that have the same ambient group and trace ring, for any $n \geq 3$. The manifolds can be chosen compact if $n \geq 4$.

Let G be a group, define an equivalence relation s as below: 8 g; h 2 G g s h () jgj = jhj the set of sizes of equivalence classes with respect to this relation is called the same-order type of G. Shen et al. (Monatsh. Math. 160 (2010),…

We associate to every quandle $X$ and an associative ring with unity $\mathbf{k}$, a nonassociative ring $\mathbf{k}[X]$ following [3]. The basic properties of such rings are investigated. In particular, under the assumption that the inner…

We introduce several commutative rings, the snake rings, that have strong connections to cluster algebras. The elements of these rings are residue classes of unions of certain labeled graphs that were used to construct canonical bases in…

We answer a question raised by Lanier about the possibility of generating $A_n$ and $S_n$ with two elements of order $k$, where $n \geqslant k \geqslant 3$. We show that this can always be done apart from some clear exceptions.

We show that every finite group $T$ is isomorphic to a normalizer quotient $N_{S_n}(H)/H$ for some $n$ and a subgroup $H\leq S_n$. We show that this holds for all large enough $n\ge n_0(T)$ and also with $S_n$ replaced by $A_n$. The two…

We classify closed abelian subgroups of the simple groups $G_2$, $F_4$, $Aut(so(8))$ having centralizer the same dimension as the dimension of the subgroup, as well as finite abelian subgroups of certain spin and half-spin groups having…

We prove that the displacement group of the dihedral quandle with n elements is isomorphic to the group generated by rotations of the n/2-gon when n is even and the n-gon when n is odd. We additionally show that any quandle with at least…

An $S$-ring (a Schur ring) is said to be separable with respect to a class of groups $\mathcal{K}$ if every algebraic isomorphism from the $S$-ring in question to an $S$-ring over a group from $\mathcal{K}$ is induced by a combinatorial…

We show that there are no arithmetic fake compact hermitian symmetric spaces of type other than An for n>4.

In this paper we give a Casimir Invariant for the Symmetric group $S_n$. Furthermore we obtain and present, for the first time in the literature, explicit formulas for the matrices of the standard representation in terms of the matrices of…

We gather some classical results and examples that show strict inclusion between the families of unital rings, rings with enough idempotents, rings with sets of local units, locally unital rings, s-unital rings and idempotent rings.

A fusion category of rank $4$ has either four self-dual objects or exactly two self-dual objects. We study fusion categories of rank $4$ with exactly two self-dual objects, giving nearly a complete classification of those based ring that…

Let $R$ be an associative ring with identity and let $N$ be a nil ideal of $R$. It is shown that units of $R/N$ can be lifted to units in $R$. Under some mild conditions on the ring, a procedure is given to determine those lifted units in a…

We provide non-isomorphic finite 2-groups which have isomorphic group algebras over any field of characteristic 2, thus settling the Modular Isomorphism Problem.

A result of the second-named author states that there are only finitely many CM-elliptic curves over $\mathbb{C}$ whose $j$-invariant is an algebraic unit. His proof depends on Duke's Equidistribution Theorem and is hence non-effective. In…

We show that all classes that are neither semisimple nor unipotent in finite simple Chevalley or Steinberg groups different from $PSL_n(q)$ collapse (i.e. are never the support of a finite-dimensional Nichols algebra). As a consequence, we…

A totally symmetric set is a subset of a group such that every permutation of the subset can be realized by conjugation in the group. The (non-)existence of large totally symmetric sets obstruct homomorphisms, so bounds on the sizes of…
