We construct all skew braces of size $pq$ (where $p>q$ are primes) by using Byott's classification of Hopf--Galois extensions of the same degree. For $p\not\equiv 1 \pmod{q}$ there exists only one skew brace which is the trivial one. When…

In this paper, we construct semisimple deformations for cyclotomic quiver Hecke-Clifford superalgebras of types $A^{(1)}_{s-1}$, $C^{(1)}_{s}$, $A^{(2)}_{2s}$, $D^{(2)}_{s}$. We derive a unified dimension formula for the bi-weight spaces…

Recent work has shown that two-dimensional non-linear $\sigma$-models on group manifolds with Poisson-Lie symmetry can be understood within generalised geometry as exemplars of generalised parallelisable spaces. Here we extend this idea to…

Given an elliptic curve E over a number field k, the Galois action on the torsion points of E induces a Galois representation, \rho_E : Gal(\bar{k}/k) \to GL_2(\hat{Z}). For a fixed number field k, we describe the image of \rho_E for a…

Let K be a local non-archimedian field, F=K((t)) and let G be a split semi-simple group. The purpose of this paper is to study certain analogs of spherical (and Iwahori) Hecke algebras for representations of the group G(F) and its central…

Let $k$ be a field, let $G$ be a reductive algebraic group over $k$, and let $V$ be a linear representation of $G$. Geometric invariant theory involves the study of the $k$-algebra of $G$-invariant polynomials on $V$, and the relation…

Suppose that C is a smooth, projective, geometrically connected curve of genus g > 2 defined over a number field K. Suppose that x is a K-rational point of C. Denote the Lie algebra of the unipotent completion (over Q_ell) of the…

In [14] we introduced a new class of algebras, which we named \textit{quantum generalized Heisenberg algebras} and which depend on a parameter $q$ and two polynomials $f,g$. We have shown that this class includes all generalized Heisenberg…

In this paper we define a two-variable, generic Hecke algebra, H, for each complex reflection group G(b,1,n). The algebra H specializes to the group algebra of G(b,1,n) and also to an endomorphism algebra of a representation of GL(n,q)…

Let $K$ be a global field of characteristic different from 2 and $u(x)\in K[x]$ be an irreducible polynomial of even degree $2g\ge 6$, whose Galois group over $K$ is either the full symmetric group $S_{2g}$ or the alternating group…

The research in this paper was motivated by one of the most important open problems in the theory of generalized polygons, namely the existence problem for semi-finite thick generalized polygons. We show here that no semi-finite generalized…

Let G(K) be the group of K-rational points of a connected adjoint simple algebraic group defined over a non-archimedean local field K. In this paper we classify the unipotent representations of G(K) in terms of the geometry of the Langlands…

When k is an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 and H is a non-semisimple monomial Hopf algebra, we show that all Galois objects over H are determined up to H-comodule algebra isomorphism by their polynomial H-identities,…

A generalized quadrangle is a point-line incidence geometry such that any two points lie on at most one line and, given a line $\ell$ and a point $P$ not incident with $\ell$, there is a unique point of $\ell$ collinear with $P$. We study…

A unital in PG(2,q^2) is a set U of q^3+1 points such that each line meets U in 1 or q+1 points. The well known example is the classical unital consisting of all absolute points of a non-degenerate unitary polarity of PG(2,q^2). Unitals…

We classify the polycyclic totally ordered simple dimension groups, i.e. dimension groups given by a dense embedding of n-dimensional lattice into the real line. Our method is based on the geometry of simple geodesics on the hyperbolic…

We introduce and study a class of field extensions that we call pre-Galois; viz. extensions that become Galois after some linearly disjoint Galois base change. Among them are geometrically Galois extensions of k(T), with k a field:…

An untouchable set in a projective plane is a set of points such that no line of the plane meets the set in exactly one point. Recently, H\'eger and Nagy (Avoiding Secants of Given Size in Finite Projective Planes, J. Combin. Des.…

In this paper, we show that a small minimal k-blocking set in PG(n, q3), q = p^h, h >= 1, p prime, p >=7, intersecting every (n-k)-space in 1 (mod q) points, is linear. As a corollary, this result shows that all small minimal k-blocking…

Given an abelian algebraic group $A$ over a global field $F$, $\alpha \in A(F)$, and a prime $\ell$, the set of all preimages of $\alpha$ under some iterate of $[\ell]$ generates an extension of $F$ that contains all $\ell$-power torsion…
