Given a finite set $A \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$, points $a_1,a_2,\dotsc,a_{\ell} \in A$ form an $\ell$-hole in $A$ if they are the vertices of a convex polytope which contains no points of $A$ in its interior. We construct arbitrarily large…
An original non-standard approach to describing the structure of a column stabilizer in a group of $n \times n$ matrices over a polynomial ring or a Laurent polynomial ring of $n$ variables is presented. The stabilizer is described as an…
A generalization of the double commutator lemma for normal subgroups is shown for invariant random subgroups of a countable group acting faithfully on a Hausdorff space. As an application, we classify ergodic invariant random subgroups of…
Let $\Bbbk$ be a perfect field with algebraic closure $\overline{\Bbbk}$. If $H$ is a subgroup of plane automorphisms over $\Bbbk$ and $p\in\overline{\Bbbk}^2$ is a point, we describe the subgroup consisting of plane automorphisms which…
The theory of nilpotent orbits of simple Lie algebras has seen tremendous developments over the past decades. In this context an important role is played by the component group of the stabilizer of a nilpotent element. In this work, the aim…
Consider the diagonal action of the projective group $\PGL_3$ on $n$ copies of ${\mathbb P}^2$. In addition, consider the action of the symmetric group $\Sigma_n$ by permuting the copies. In this paper we find a set of generators for the…
We initiate the study of subgroups $H$ of the general linear group $GL_{\binom{n}{m}}(R)$ over a commutative ring $R$ that contain the $m$-th exterior power of an elementary group $\bigwedge^mE_n(R)$. Each such group $H$ corresponds to a…
A geometric approach to the stable homotopy groups of spheres is developed in this paper, based on the Pontryagin-Thom construction. The task of this approach is to obtain an alternative proof of the Hill-Hopkins-Ravenel theorem [H-H-R] on…
We consider a generating set of reparametrization invariants that can be constructed from the couplings and masses entering the scalar potential of the general Two-Higgs-Doublet Model (2HDM). Being independent of higgs-basis rotations, they…
Based on the convergence of their infinitesimal generators in the mixed topology, we provide a stability result for strongly continuous convex monotone semigroups on spaces of continuous functions. In contrast to previous results, we do not…
In this paper we treat faithful actions of simple algebraic groups on irreducible modules and on the associated Grassmannian varieties. By explicit calculation, we show that in each case, with essentially one exception (only in…
We study the problem of finding generators for the fundamental group G of a space of the following sort: one removes a family of complex hyperplanes from n dimensional complex vector space, or n dimensional complex hyperbolic space, or the…
Let $Y$ be a pointed space and let $\mathcal E(Y^r)$ be the group of based self-equivalences of $Y^r$, $r\geq 2$. For $Y$ a homotopy commutative $H$-group we construct a subgroup $\mathcal E_{\mathrm{Mat}}(Y^r)$ of $\mathcal E(Y^r)$ which…
We construct a complex $\mathcal{L}_\bullet^\lambda$ resolving the irreducible representations $\mathcal{S}^{\lambda[n]}$ of the symmetric groups $S_n$ by representations restricted from $GL_n(k)$. This construction lifts to…
We study a construction of the Mathieu group $M_{12}$ using a game reminiscent of Loyd's ``15-puzzle''. The elements of $M_{12}$ are realized as permutations on~12 of the~13 points of the finite projective plane of order~3. There is a…
Let G be a finite solvable permutation group. Then modulo a possibly trivial normal elementary abelian 3-subgroup, some set-stabilizer in G is a 2-group.
A $2-(n,4,\lambda)$ design $(\Omega, \mathcal{B})$ is said to be supersimple if distinct lines intersect in at most two points. From such a design, one can construct a certain subset of Sym$(\Omega)$ called a "Conway groupoid". The…
We determine the groups of automorphisms and their orbits for nilpotent Lie algebras of class 2 and small dimension, over arbitrary fields (including the characteristic 2 case).
We count the finitely generated subgroups of the modular group $\textsf{PSL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$. More precisely: each such subgroup $H$ can be represented by its Stallings graph $\Gamma(H)$, we consider the number of vertices of $\Gamma(H)$ to…
We consider positivity conditions both for real-valued functions of several complex variables and for Hermitian forms. We prove a stabilization theorem relating these two notions, and give some applications to proper mappings between balls…
