We study the Picard groups of connected linear algebraic groups, and especially the subgroup of translation-invariant line bundles. We prove that this subgroup is finite over every global function field. We also utilize our study of these…

It is observed that the conjugacy growth series of the infinite finitary symmetric group with respect to the generating set of transpositions is the generating series of the partition function. Other conjugacy growth series are computed,…

This paper provides a preparatory introduction to torsors, written with a view toward later applications in the author's work. Rather than aiming at a comprehensive survey, the exposition focuses on those aspects of torsors that are most…

The class of finitely presented algebras over a field $K$ with a set of generators $a_{1},..., a_{n}$ and defined by homogeneous relations of the form $a_{1}a_{2}... a_{n} =a_{\sigma (a)} a_{\sigma (2)} ... a_{\sigma (n)}$, where $\sigma$…

It is well known that over an infinite field the ring of symmetric functions in a finite number of variables is isomorphic to the one of polynomial functions on matrices that are invariants by the action of conjugation by general linear…

A simple permutation is one that does not map a nontrivial interval onto an interval. It was recently proved by Albert and Atkinson that a permutation class with only finitely simple permutations has an algebraic generating function. We…

We explicitly describe the derived Picard groups of symmetric representation-finite algebras of type $D$. In particular, we prove that these groups are generated by spherical twists along collections of $0$-spherical objects, the shift and…

We present a characterization of finite permutation groups which contain a transitive dihedral subgroup.

Quantum-mechanical concepts can be formulated in constructive finite terms without loss of their empirical content if we replace a general unitary group by a unitary representation of a finite group. Any linear representation of a finite…

We give a unified description of twisted forms of classical reductive groups schemes. Such group schemes are constructed from algebraic objects of finite rank, excluding some exceptions of small rank. These objects, augmented odd form…

The Markoff group of transformations is a group $\Gamma$ of affine integral morphisms, which is known to act transitively on the set of all positive integer solutions to the equation $x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}=xyz$. The fundamental strong…

We investigate the braid group representations arising from categories of representations of twisted quantum doubles of finite groups. For these categories, we show that the resulting braid group representations always factor through finite…

Finite (or Discrete) Fourier Transforms (FFT) are essential tools in engineering disciplines based on signal transmission, which is the case in most of them. FFT are related with circulant matrices, which can be viewed as group matrices of…

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $c(G)$ be the number of cyclic subgroups of $G$. We study the function $\alpha(G) = c(G)/|G|$. We explore its basic properties and we point out a connection with the probability of commutation. For many…

A transitive permutation group $G$ on a finite set $\Omega$ is said to be pre-primitive if every $G$-invariant partition of $\Omega$ is the orbit partition of a subgroup of $G$. It follows that pre-primitivity and quasiprimitivity are…

We prove that the automorphism groups of simple polarized abelian varieties of odd prime dimension over finite fields are cyclic, and give a complete list of finite groups that can be realized as such automorphism groups.

Given a transitive permutation group, a fundamental object for studying its higher transitivity properties is the permutation action of its isotropy subgroup. We reverse this relationship and introduce a universal construction of infinite…

It is well known that every finite simple group has a generating pair. Moreover, Guralnick and Kantor proved that every finite simple group has the stronger property, known as $\frac{3}{2}$-generation, that every nontrivial element is…

Let $G$ be a permutation group on a set $\Omega$. A subset of $\Omega$ is a base for $G$ if its pointwise stabiliser in $G$ is trivial. In this paper we introduce and study an associated graph $\Sigma(G)$, which we call the Saxl graph of…

In the following text we introduce the concept of pseudo-codecomposition of a transformation group, also we show the collection of all transformation groups pseudo-codecomposable to distal ones is a proper intermediate class of the class of…
