We summarize several results about non-simplicity, solvability and normal structure of finite groups related to the number of conjugacy classes appearing in the product or the power of conjugacy classes. We also collect some problems that…

Real forms of a complex reductive group are classified in terms of Galois cohomology $H^1(\Gamma,G_{ad})$ where $G_{ad}$ is the adjoint group. Alternatively, the theory of the Cartan involution gives a description in terms of cohomology…

We briefly report on our result that, if there exists a realization of a Hopf algebra $H$ in a $H$-module algebra $A$, then their cross-product is equal to the product of $A$ itself with a subalgebra isomorphic to $H$ and commuting with…

We prove that any permutation group of degree $n \geq 4$ has at most $5^{(n-1)/3}$ conjugacy classes.

In this paper we study combinatorial aspects of permutations of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ and related topics. In particular, we prove that there is a unique permutation $\pi$ of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ such that all the numbers $k+\pi(k)$ ($k=1,\ldots,n$)…

We generalize the Brin-Higman-Thompson groups $n G_{k,1}$ to monoids $n M_{k,1}$, for $n \ge 1$ and $k \ge 2$, by replacing bijections by partial functions. The monoid $n M_{k,1}$ has $n G_{k,1}$ as its group of units, and is…

Given a group $G$, we write $g^G$ for the conjugacy class of $G$ containing the element $g$. A theorem of B. H. Neumann states that if $G$ is a group in which all conjugacy classes are finite with bounded size, then the commutator subgroup…

Let $G$ and $N$ be finite groups of order $2n$ where $n$ is odd. We say the pair $(G,N)$ is Hopf-Galois realizable if $G$ is a regular subgroup of $\h(N)=N\rtimes\au(N)$. In this article we give necessary conditions on $G$ (similarly $N$)…

The conjugacy problem belongs to algorithmic group theory. It is the following question: given two words x, y over generators of a fixed group G, decide whether x and y are conjugated, i.e., whether there exists some z such that zxz^{-1} =…

Conjugacy separability of any group of the class of one-relator groups given by the presentation $<a, b; [a^m,b^n]=1>$ ($m,n>1$) is proven.

We study conjugacy limits of certain of subgroups inside $\SL(2,\R)\ltimes\R^2$. These subgroups have a common feature that any two in the same category are conjugates of each other.

The number of conjugate classes of derangements of order $n$ is the same as the number $h(n)$ of the restricted partitions with every portion greater than $1$. It is also equal to the number of isotopy classes of $2\times n$ Latin…

Let $H$ be an extension of a finite group $Q$ by a finite group $G$. Inspired by the results of duality theorems for \'etale gerbes on orbifolds, we describe the number of conjugacy classes of $H$ that maps to the same conjugacy class of…

Every representation of the Cuntz algebra $\mathcal{O}_n$ leads to a unitary representation of the Higman-Thompson group $V_n$. We consider the family $\{\pi_x\}_{x\in [0,1[}$ of permutative representations of $\mathcal{O}_n$ that arise…

We show that every non-decreasing function $f\colon \mathbb N\to \mathbb N$ bounded from above by $a^n$ for some $a\ge 1$ can be realized (up to a natural equivalence) as the conjugacy growth function of a finitely generated group. We also…

We give a unified solution to the conjugacy problem for Thompson's groups F, T, and V. The solution uses strand diagrams, which are similar in spirit to braids and generalize tree-pair diagrams for elements of Thompson's groups. Strand…

We study some extension of a discrete Heisenberg group coming from the theory of loop-groups and find invariants of conjugacy classes in this group. In some cases including the case of the integer Heisenberg group we make these invariants…

We describe subgroups and overgroups of the generalised Thompson groups $V_n$ which arise via conjugation by rational homeomorphisms of Cantor space. We specifically consider conjugating $V_n$ by homeomorphisms induced by synchronizing…

A time operator is a Hermitian operator that is canonically conjugate to a given Hamiltonian. For a particle in 1-dimension, a Hamiltonian conjugate operator in position representation can be obtained by solving a hyperbolic second-order…

Let G be a finite group. Define a relation ~ on the conjugacy classes of G by setting C ~ D if there are representatives c \in C and d \in D such that cd = dc. In the case where G has a normal subgroup H such that G/H is cyclic, two…
