We present constructions of symmetric complete sum-free sets in general finite cyclic groups. It is shown that the relative sizes of the sets are dense in $[0,\frac{1}{3}]$, answering a question of Cameron, and that the number of those…

Let $X(Q)=QC$ be a group, where $Q$ is a generalized quaternion group and $C$ is a cyclic group such that $Q\cap C=1$. In this paper, $X(Q)$ will be characterized and moreover, a complete classification for that will be given, provided $C$…

We use partial actions, as formalized by Exel, to construct various commensurating actions. We use this in the context of groups piecewise preserving a geometric structure, and we interpret the transfixing property of these commensurating…

Given a compact semisimple Lie group $G$ of rank $r$, and a parameter $q>0$, we can define new associativity morphisms in Rep(Gq) using a 3-cocycle $\Phi$ on the dual of the center of G, thus getting a new tensor category Rep(Gq)$^\Phi$.…

Cyclic cohomology has been recently adapted to the treatment of Hopf symmetry in noncommutative geometry. The resulting theory of characteristic classes for Hopf algebras and their actions on algebras allows to expand the range of…

A relative simplicial complex is a collection of sets of the form $\Delta \setminus \Gamma$, where $\Gamma \subset \Delta$ are simplicial complexes. Relative complexes played key roles in recent advances in algebraic, geometric, and…

A study of symplectic actions of a finite group $G$ on smooth 4-manifolds is initiated. The central new idea is the use of $G$-equivariant Seiberg-Witten-Taubes theory in studying the structure of the fixed-point set of these symmetries.…

Topological cyclic homology is a refinement of Connes--Tsygan's cyclic homology which was introduced by B\"okstedt--Hsiang--Madsen in 1993 as an approximation to algebraic $K$-theory. There is a trace map from algebraic $K$-theory to…

We investigate the problem of defining group or loop structures on spheres, where by ''sphere'' we mean the level set q(x) = c of a general K-valued quadratic form q, for an invertible scalar c. When K is a field and q non-degenerate, then…

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>>0. Let $X\rightarrow Y$ be a symplectic resolution. There are two questions which motivates this work. One question is a construction of an action of a group on the category…

For many finite groups a symmetric $2$-cocycle $\alpha$ ($\alpha(g,h)=\alpha(h,g)$, for all pairs $(h,g)$ of the group) with values in $\mathbb{C}^\times$ is a coboundary. We show using a theoretic arguement and GAP that there is a group of…

We fix a field $\kk$ of characteristic $p$. For a finite group $G$ denote by $\delta(G)$ and $\sigma(G)$ respectively the minimal number $d$, such that for any finite dimensional representation $V$ of $G$ over $\kk$ and any $v\in…

We will compute the stable upper genus for the family of finite non-abelian simple groups $PSL_2(\mathbb{F}_p)$ for $p \equiv 3~(mod~4)$. This classification is well-grounded in the other branches of Mathematics like topology, smooth, and…

We give a new construction of the model structure on the category of simplicial sets for homotopy $n$-types, originally due to Elvira-Donazar and Hernandez-Paricio, using a right transfer along the coskeleton functor. We observe that an…

This series of papers is a contribution to the program of classifying $p$-blocks of finite groups up to source algebra equivalence, starting with the case of cyclic blocks. To any $p$-block $\mathbf{B}$ of a finite group with cyclic defect…

We show that using the cyclic group the transpose of an R-cyclic matrix can be decomposed along diagonal parts into a sum of parts which are freely independent over diagonal scalar matrices. Moreover, if the R-cyclic matrix is self-adjoint…

Topological periodic cyclic homology (i.e., $\mathbb{T}$-Tate fixed points of $THH$) has the structure of a strong symmetric monoidal functor of smooth and proper dg categories over a perfect field of finite characteristic.

Symmetries of a partial Latin square are determined by its autotopism group. Analogously to the case of Latin squares, given an isotopism $\Theta$, the cardinality of the set $\mathcal{PLS}_{\Theta}$ of partial Latin squares which are…

It is known that irreducible noncommutative differential structures over $\Bbb F_p[x]$ are classified by irreducible monics $m$. We show that the cohomology $H_{\rm dR}^0(\Bbb F_p[x]; m)=\Bbb F_p[g_d]$ if and only if ${\rm Tr}(m)\ne 0$,…

In this paper, we consider covers of finite groups by centralizers of elements. We show that the set of centralizers that are maximal under the partial ordering form a cover of the group. We also show that the set of centralizers that are…
