We study the structure of the generator of a symmetric, conservative quantum dynamical semigroup with norm-bounded generator on a von Neumann algebra equipped with a faithful semifinite trace. For von Neumann algebras with abelian commutant…

The reduced Burau representation $V_n$ of the braid group $B_n$ is obtained from the action of $B_n$ on the homology of an infinite cyclic cover of the disc with $n$ punctures. The group homology $H_*(B_n;V_n)$ of braid groups with…

In this paper, the complete algebraic structure of finite semisimple group algebra of a normally monomial group is described. The main result is illustrated by computing the explicit Wedderburn decomposition of finite semisimple group…

In the present paper, the structure of a finite group $G$ having a nonnormal T.I. subgroup $H$ which is also a Hall $\pi$-subgroup is studied. As a generalization of a result due to Gow, we prove that $H$ is a Frobenius complement whenever…

We initiate a general approach to the relative braid group symmetries on (universal) $\imath$quantum groups, arising from quantum symmetric pairs of arbitrary finite types, and their modules. Our approach is built on new intertwining…

We show that the crystallographic braid group $B_n/[P_n,P_n]$ embeds naturally in the group of unrestricted virtual braids $UVB_n$, we give new proofs of known results about the torsion elements of $B_n/[P_n,P_n]$, and we characterise the…

We define left and right kernels of representations of Hopf algebras. In the case of group algebras, left and right kernels coincide and they are the usual kernels of modules. In the general case we show that these kernels coincide with the…

We examine a semigroup analogue of the Kumjian-Renault representation of C*-algebras with Cartan subalgebras on twisted groupoids. Specifically, we show how to represent semigroups with distinguished normal subsemigroups as `slice-sections'…

We show that certain submanifolds of generalized complex manifolds ("weak branes") admit a natural quotient which inherits a generalized complex structure. This is analog to quotienting coisotropic submanifolds of symplectic manifolds. In…

We propose two definitions of configuration Lie groupoids and in both the cases we prove a Fadell-Neuwirth type fibration theorem for a class of Lie groupoids. We show that this is the best possible extension, in the sense that, for the…

For every $n\geq 1$, the flat braid group $\mathrm{FB}_n$ is an analogue of the braid group $B_n$ that can be described as the fundamental group of the configuration space $$\left\{ \{x_1, \ldots, x_n \} \in \mathbb{R}^n / \mathrm{Sym}(n)…

Let $m\leq n\in \mathbb{N}$, and $G\leq S_m$ and $H\leq S_n$. In this article we find conditions enabling embeddings between the symmetric R. Thompson groups $V_m(G)$ and $V_n(H)$. When $n\equiv 1 \mod(m-1)$ and under some other technical…

Let $W_0$ be a reflection subgroup of a finite complex reflection group $W$, and let $B_0$ and $B$ be their respective braid groups. In order to construct a Hecke algebra $\widetilde{H}_0$ for the normalizer $N_W(W_0)$, one first considers…

For a finite smooth algebraic group $F$ over a field $k$ and a smooth algebraic group $\bar G$ over the separable closure of $k$, we define the notion of $F$-kernel in $\bar G$ and we associate to it a set of nonabelian 2-cohomology. We use…

Let $G$ be a countable cancellative amenable semigroup and let $(F_n)$ be a (left) F{\o}lner sequence in $G$. We introduce the notion of an $(F_n)$-normal element of $\{0,1\}^G$. When $G$ = $(\mathbb N,+)$ and $F_n = \{1,2,...,n\}$, the…

We give a survey of the theory of surface braid groups and the lower algebraic K-theory of their group rings. We recall several definitions and describe various properties of surface braid groups, such as the existence of torsion,…

Let k be an algebraically closed field. We show that the Cremona group of all birational transformations of the projective plane P^2 over k is not a simple group. The strategy makes use of hyperbolic geometry, geometric group theory, and…

In the current paper we study the groups, whose subnormal abelian subgroups are normal. We obtained a quite detailed description of such hyperabelian groups with a periodic Baer radical. The description of hyperabelian Lie algebras, whose…

We study a family of Thompson-like groups built as rearrangement groups of fractals from [BF19], each acting on a Wa\.zewski dendrite. Each of these is a finitely generated group that is dense in the full group of homeomorphisms of the…

In this paper we study abelian and metabelian quotients of braid groups on oriented surfaces with boundary components. We provide group presentations and we prove rigidity results for these quotients arising from exact sequences related to…
