The prime simplicial complex $\Pi(G)$ of a finite group $G$ is composed of all sets of primes $S$ where $G$ has an element of order the product of primes in $S$, with the subsets partially ordered by inclusion. This complex was introduced…

For absolutely simple, finite-dimensional Lie algebras g of rank at least 2, defined over a local field of characteristic 0 and admitting a graduation: g=g(-2)+g(-1)+g(0)+g(1)+g(2) given by an element H such that 2H is simple, we construct…

The concept of a C-approximable group, for a class of finite groups C, is a common generalization of the concepts of a sofic, weakly sofic, and linear sofic group. Glebsky raised the question whether all groups are approximable by finite…
