We take a unifying and new approach toward polynomial and trigonometric approximation in an arbitrary number of variables, resulting in a precise and general ready-to-use tool that anyone can easily apply in new situations of interest. The…

This paper studies intersections of principal blocks of a finite group with respect to different primes. We first define the block graph of a finite group $G$, whose vertices are the prime divisors of $|G|$ and there is an edge between two…

A closed Riemannian manifold is said to have cross blocking if whenever distinct points p and q are at distance less than the diameter, all light rays from p can be shaded away from q with at most two point shades. Similarly, a closed…

In this paper, we introduce a new family of metrics, weighted poset block metric, that combine the weighted coordinates poset metric introduced by Panek et al. [(\ref{panek})] and the metric for linear error-block codes introduced by Feng…

We prove that if open subgroups of the groups of invertible elements in two Fourier-Stieltjes algebras are isometric as metric spaces, then the underlying locally compact groups are topologically isomorphic. We describe the structure of…

Turner's Conjecture describes all blocks of symmetric groups and Hecke algebras up to derived equivalence in terms of certain double algebras. With a view towards a proof of this conjecture, we develop a general theory of Turner doubles. In…

We prove that if two very general cubic fourfolds are L-equivalent then they are isomorphic, and we observe that there exist special cubic fourfolds which are L-equivalent but not isomorphic. When the cubic fourfolds are very general in…

Let B be a p-block of a finite group G with abelian defect group D such that S\unlhd G, S'=S, G/Z(S)\le\Aut(S) and S/Z(S) is a sporadic simple group. We show that B is isotypic to its Brauer correspondent in N_G(D) in the sense of Brou\'e.…

We introduce the notion of uniform exactness, or uniform amenability at infinity, for discrete groups and prove it for a wide class of groups containing free groups and their limit groups. This shows a novel strong convergence phenomenon…

In this paper we consider the effect of symmetry on the rigidity of bar-joint frameworks, spherical frameworks and point-hyperplane frameworks in $\mathbb{R}^d$. In particular we show that, under forced or incidental symmetry, infinitesimal…

We describe the groups that have the same holomorph as a finite perfect group. Our results are complete for centerless groups. When the center is non-trivial, some questions remain open. The peculiarities of the general case are illustrated…

Given a finite group G, a G-covering of closed Riemannian manifolds, and a so-called G-relation, a construction of Sunada produces a pair of manifolds M_1 and M_2 that are strongly isospectral. Such manifolds have the same dimension and the…

The main aim of the paper is to study in greater detail absolutely homogeneous structures (that is, objects with the property that each partial isomorphism extends to a global automorphism), with special emphasis on metric spaces and…

For a countable abelian group $G$ we investigate generic properties of the space of all invariant metrics on $G$. We prove that for every such an unbounded group $G$, i.e. group which has elements of arbitrarily high order, there is a dense…

We prove that if two finite metacyclic groups have isomorphic rational group algebras, then they are isomorphic. This contributes to understand where is the line separating positive and negative solutions to the Isomorphism Problem for…

Uniformly finite homology is a coarse invariant for metric spaces; in particular, it is a quasi-isometry invariant for finitely generated groups. In this article, we study uniformly finite homology of finitely generated amenable groups and…

We formalize the ``metric bundle'' viewpoint by defining, for any smooth $n$--manifold $M$, the open fiberwise cones $\mathcal{G}^{p,q}\subset S^2\Tstar M$ of nondegenerate symmetric bilinear forms with fixed signature $(p,q)$, and we…

We give an algebraic proof for a theorem of Mislin in the case of cohomology of saturated fusion systems defined on p-groups when p is odd. Some applications of this theorem to block algebras of finite groups are also given.

For finite nilpotent groups $G$ and $G^{\prime}$, and a $G$-adapted ring $S$ (the rational integers, for example), it is shown that any isomorphism between the centers of the group rings $SG$ and $SG^{\prime}$ is monomial, i.e., maps class…

We compare different algebraic structures in twisted equivariant K-Theory for proper actions of discrete groups. After the construction of a module structure over untwisted equivariant K-Theory, we prove a completion Theorem of Atiyah-Segal…
