We produce an example of an irreducible discrete subgroup in the product $SL(2,\R)\times SL(2,\R)$ which is not a lattice. This answers a question asked in [15].

Let $\pi$ be a set of primes. By H.Wielandt definition, {\it Sylow $\pi$-theorem} holds for a finite group $G$ if all maximal $\pi$-subgroups of $G$ are conjugate. In the paper, the following statement is proven. Assume that $\pi$ is a…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive algebraic group defined over an algebraic closure of a finite field and let $F : G \to G$ be an endomorphism such that $F^d$ is a Frobenius endomorphism for some $d \geq 1$. Let $P$ be a parabolic subgroup…

We establish a general spectral gap theorem for actions of products of groups which may replace Kazhdan's property (T) in various situations. As a main application, we prove that a confined subgroup of an irreducible lattice in a higher…

Let $G$ be a finite $\pi$-separable group, where $\pi$ is a set of primes, and let $\chi$ be an irreducible complex character that is a $\pi$-lift of some $\pi$-partial character of $G$.It was proved by Cossey and Lewis that all of the…

We prove that if $\pi$ is a recursive set of primes, then pointlike sets are decidable for the pseudovariety of semigroups whose subgroups are $\pi$-groups. In particular, when $\pi$ is the empty set, we obtain Henckell's decidability of…

We start a systematic analysis of the first-order model theory of free lattices. Firstly, we prove that the free lattices of finite rank are not positively indistinguishable, as there is a positive $\exists \forall$-sentence true in…

Mednykh proved that for any finite group G and any orientable surface S, there is a formula for #Hom(pi_1(S), G) in terms of the Euler characteristic of S and the dimensions of the irreducible representations of G. A similar formula in the…

We completely determine all semigroup [epigroup] varieties that are cancellable elements of the lattice of all semigroup [respectively epigroup] varieties.

Let A be a commutative noetherian ring. Call a functor <<commutative A-algebras>> --> <<sets>> coherent if it can be built up (via iterated finite limits) from functors of the form B \mapsto M tensor_A B, where M is a f.g. A-module. When…

A group is LERF (locally extended residually finite) if all its finitely generated subgroups are separable. We prove that the trialitarian arithmetic lattices in $\mathbf{PSO}_{7,1}(\mathbb{R})$ are not LERF. This result, together with…

Let $\Gamma$ be an irreducible lattice in a product of two locally compact groups and assume that $\Gamma$ is densely embedded in a profinite group $K$. We give necessary conditions which imply that the left translation action…

If $\Gamma$ is an irreducible non-uniform higher-rank characteristic zero arithmetic lattice (for example, $SL_n(\mathbb{Z})$, $n \geq 3$) and $\Lambda$ is a finitely generated group that is elementarily equivalent to $\Gamma$, then…

We prove that if A is a synaptic algebra and the orthomodular lattice P of projections in A is complete, then A is a factor iff A is an antilattice. We also generalize several other results of R. Kadison pertaining to infima and suprema in…

We show that the class $\mathscr{B}$, of discrete groups which satisfy the conclusion of Popa's Cocycle Superrigidity Theorem for Bernoulli actions, is invariant under measure equivalence. We generalize this to the setting of discrete…

We classify finite groups in which the centralisers of certain non-central elements are soluble. This includes a full structural description of groups whose non-central element centralisers are all soluble, and a reduction theorem for the…

The representation theorem for odd or even involutive FLe-chains by bunches of layer groups, as discussed in [10], is redefined to demonstrate a more straightforward constructional relationship between odd or even involutive FLe-chains and…

In this article, we first generalize Kaplansky's zero-divisor conjecture of group-rings $K[G]$ (with $K$ a field) to the more general setting of $G$-graded rings $R=\bigoplus\limits_{n\in G}R_{n}$ with $G$ a torsion-free group. Then we…

In algebraic number theory, the finiteness of the Picard group of an order in a number field is generally proved via a lattice argument: the order forms a lattice and every ideal class contains an integral ideal with a small enough non-zero…

In this paper, we show that each finite group $G$ containing at most $p^2$ Sylow $p$-subgroups for each odd prime number $p$, is a solvable group. In fact, we give a positive answer to the conjecture in \cite{Rob}.
