A triangle group is denoted by $\Delta(p,q,r)$ and has finite presentation $$ \Delta(p,q,r)=\langle x,y | x^p=y^q=(xy)^r=1 \rangle .$$ We examine a method for composition of permutation representations of a triangle group $\Delta(p,q,r)$…

Let $E$ be a elementary abelian $p$-group of order $q=p^n$. Let $W$ be a faithful indecomposable representation of $E$ with dimension 2 over a field $k$ of characteristic $p$, and let $V= S^m(W)$ with $m<q$. We prove that the rings of…

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 two-sided tilting complexes, and dualizing complexes, over simple Goldie rings (with some technical conditions) are always shifts of invertible bimodules. This allows us to describe the derived Picard groups of such rings, and…

In this article we present a new C*-algebraic deformation of the Lorentz group. It is obtained by means of the Rieffel deformation applied to SL(2,C). We give a detailed description of the resulting quantum group in terms of generators -…

We introduce geometric invariants for $p$-groups of class $2$ and exponent $p$. We report on their effectiveness in distinguishing among 5-generator $p$-groups of this type.

Let F be a nonarchimedean local field of odd residual characteristic p. We classify finite-dimensional simple right modules for the pro-p-Iwahori-Hecke algebra $\mathcal{H}_C(G,I(1))$, where G is the unramified unitary group U(2,1)(E/F) in…

We prove that the mapping class group of a closed connected orientable surface of genus $g$ is generated by three involutions for $g\geq 6$.

We complete the classification of the finite special linear groups $\SL_n(q)$ which are $(2,3)$-generated, i.e., which are generated by an involution and an element of order $3$. This also gives the classification of the finite simple…

An algebraic classification is given for spaces of holomorphic vector-valued modular forms of arbitrary real weight and multiplier system, associated to irreducible, T-unitarizable representations of the full modular group, of dimension…

Two differential calculi are developped on an algebra generalizing the usual q-oscillator algebra and involving three generators and three parameters. They are shown to be invariant under the same quantum group that is extended to a…

We prove that the mapping class group of a closed connected orientable surface of genus at least eight is generated by three involutions.

Let $G$ be a semisimple Lie group with finite center, $K\subset G$ a maximal compact subgroup, and $P\subset G$ a parabolic subgroup. Following ideas of P.Y.\ Gaillard, one may use $G$-invariant differential forms on $G/K\times G/P$ to…

For any odd prime $p$, the Galois group of the maximal unramified pro-$p$-extension of an imaginary quadratic field is a Schur $\sigma$-group. But Schur $\sigma$-groups can also be constructed and studied abstractly. We prove that if $p>3$,…

We introduce one of the most beautiful algebraic varieties known, a quintic hypersurface in projective five-space, which is invariant under the action of the Weyl group of $E_6$. This variety is intricately related with many other moduli…

In this paper we give explicit (2,3)-generators of the unitary groups SU_6(q^ 2), for all q. They fit into a uniform sequence of likely (2,3)-generators for all n>= 6.

Let G be a reductive complex algebraic group and V a finite-dimensional G-module. From elements of the invariant algebra C[V]^G we obtain by polarization elements of C[kV]^G, where k\geq 1 and kV denotes the direct sum of k copies of V. For…

We study geometric properties of the action of the Picard modular group $\Gamma=PU(2,1,\mathcal{O}_7)$ on the complex hyperbolic plane $H^2_\mathbb{C}$, where $\mathcal{O}_7$ denotes the ring of algebraic integers in…

We show that the generating function for the higher Weil-Petersson volumes of the moduli spaces of stable curves with marked points can be obtained from Witten's free energy by a change of variables given by Schur polynomials. Since this…

We investigate and review how Fourier transform is involved in the analysis of a twisted group algebra $L^1(G, \sigma)$ for $G=\widehat{\Gamma}\times \Gamma$ and $\sigma:G\times G \to \mathbb{T}$ 2- cocycle where $\Gamma$ is a locally…
