We study affine toric varieties with an action of group $SL_n$ with a dense orbit. A characterisation in terms of $SL_n \times Q$-modules is given where $Q$ is a quasitorus. This characterisation is more explicitly expanded in case $n=3$.…

This article produces a complete list of all maximal subgroups of the finite simple groups of type $F_4$, $E_6$, and twisted $E_6$ over all finite fields. Along the way, we determine the collection of Lie primitive almost simple subgroups…

The girth of a finitely generated group G is the supremum of the girth of Cayley graphs for G over all finite generating sets. Let G be a finitely generated subgroup of the mapping class group Mod(S), where S is a compact orientable…

Given a prime power $p^d$ with $p$ a prime and $d$ a positive integer, we classify the finite groups $G$ with $p^{2d}$ dividing $|G|$ in which all subgroups of order $p^d$ are complemented and the finite groups $G$ having a normal…

We consider Arveson's problem on the maximality of subdiagonal algebras. We prove that a subdiagonal algebra is maximal if it is invariant under the modular group of a faithful normal state which is preserved by the conditional expectation…

Using countable support iteration of $S$-proper posets, for some appropriate stationary set $S$, we obtain a generic extension of the constructible universe, in which $\mathfrak{b}=\mathfrak{c}=\aleph_2$ and there is a maximal cofinitary…

We prove that certain fields have the property that their absolute Galois groups are free as profinite groups: the function field of a real curve with no real points; the maximal abelian extension of a 2-variable Laurent series field over a…

A relatively hyperbolic group $G$ is said to be QCERF if all finitely generated relatively quasiconvex subgroups are closed in the profinite topology on $G$. Assume that $G$ is a QCERF relatively hyperbolic group with double coset separable…

We continue the study of the structure of general subgroups (in particular maximal subgroups, also known as group $\mathcal{H}$-classes) of special inverse monoids. Recent research of the authors has established that these can be quite…

In this note we prove that every finite collection of connected algebraic subgroups of the group of triangular automorphisms of the affine space generates a connected solvable algebraic subgroup.

Let $G$ be a finite group and $p$ a fixed prime divisor of $|G|$. Combining the nilpotence, the normality and the order of groups together, we prove that if every maximal subgroup of $G$ is nilpotent or normal or has $p'$-order, then (1)…

We give a characterization of hypercyclic abelian semigroup G of affine maps on C^n. If G is finitely generated, this characterization is explicit. We prove in particular that no abelian group generated by n affine maps on C^n has a dense…

We prove that every finitely generated soluble group which is not virtually abelian has a subgroup of one of a small number of types.

Any maximal root subsystem of a finite crystallographic reduced root system is either a closed root subsystem or its dual is a closed root subsystem in the dual root system. In this article, we classify the maximal root subsystems of an…

Given a finite group $G$ and a generating set $S \subseteq G$, the diameter $diam(G,S)$ is the least integer $n$ such that every element of $G$ is the product of at most $n$ elements of $S$. In this paper, for bounded $|S|$, we characterize…

In this paper, we give a characterization of hypercyclic abelian affine group G. If G is finitely generated, this characterization is explicit. We prove in particular that no abelian group generated by n affine maps on C^n has a dense…

We prove that there are only finitely many arithmetic Kleinian maximal reflection groups.

Let $G$ be a compact connected Lie group and let $P$ be a principal $G$-bundle over $K$. The gauge group of $P$ is the topological group of automorphisms of $P$. For fixed $G$ and $K$, consider all principal $G$-bundles $P$ over $K$. It is…

Let $K$ be the function field of a smooth and proper curve $S$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$. Let $A$ be an ordinary abelian variety over $K$. Suppose that the N\'eron model $\CA$ of $A$ over $S$ has a…

Let $D$ be a division ring with center $F$, and $G$ an almost subnormal subgroup of $D^*$. In this paper, we show that if $G$ contains a non-abelian locally solvable maximal subgroup, then $D$ must be a cyclic algebra of prime degree over…
