We show that the endomorphisms of a compact connected group that extend to endomorphisms of every compact overgroup are precisely the trivial one and the inner automorphisms; this is an analogue, for compact connected groups, of results due…
Let X be a coherent configuration associated with a transitive group G. In terms of the intersection numbers of X, a necessary condition for the point stabilizer of G to be a TI-subgroup, is established. Furthermore, under this condition, X…
We express the set of representations from a cyclic $p$-group to a connected $p$-compact group in terms of the associated reflection group and compute its cardinality for each exotic $p$-compact group.
We restructure and advance the classification theory of finite racks and quandles by employing powerful methods from transformation groups and representation theory, especially Burnside rings. These rings serve as universal receptacles for…
The Dehn quandle of a closed orientable surface is the set of isotopy classes of non-separating simple closed curves with a natural quandle structure arising from Dehn twists. In this paper, we consider finiteness of some canonical…
We classify the connected-homogeneous digraphs with more than one end. We further show that if their underlying undirected graph is not connected-homogeneous, they are highly-arc-transitive.
The fundamental quandle is a complete invariant for unoriented tame knots \cite{JO, Ma} and non-split links \cite{FR}. The proof involves proving a relationship between the components of the fundamental quandle and the cosets of the…
We study rack and quandle coverings from a universal algebraic viewpoint and we show how they can be understood using the notion of strongly abelian congruences. We provide an abstract characterization of several particular types of…
Quandles are self-distributive algebraic structures known as sources of strong knots invariants, but also appearing in other contexts. From any quandle, one can construct two invariants: the structure group and the second quandle homology…
Quandles are certain algebraic structures showing up in different mathematical contexts. A group $G$ with the conjugation operation forms a quandle, $\operatorname{Conj}(G)$. In the opposite direction, one can construct a group…
We generalise the standard constructions of a Cayley graph in terms of a group presentation by allowing some vertices to obey different relators than others. The resulting notion of presentation allows us to represent every vertex…
We study abelian group objects in $\omega$-categories and discuss the well-known Dold-Kan correspondence from the perspective of $\omega$-categories as a model for strict $\infty$-categories. The first part of the paper is intended to…
This is a translation. I have added translations for (possibly) outdated definitions in an appendix at the end. In this paper, we define distributive groups and show some properties of them. We then concern ourselves with the homogeinity of…
Constellations are partial algebras that are one-sided generalisations of categories. It has previously been shown that the category of inductive constellations is isomorphic to the category of left restriction semigroups. Here we consider…
We introduce two new families of polynomial invariants of oriented classical and virtual knots and links defined as decategorfications of the quandle coloring quiver. We provide examples to illustrate the computation of the invariants, show…
Given a pair of number fields with isomorphic rings of adeles, we construct bijections between objects associated to the pair. For instance we construct an isomorphism of Brauer groups that commutes with restriction. We additionally…
Quandle colorings and cocycle invariants are studied for composite knots, and applied to chirality and abelian extensions. The square and granny knots, for example, can be distinguished by quandle colorings, so that a trefoil and its mirror…
We consider a sub-class of the $f$-divergences satisfying a stronger convexity property, which we refer to as strongly convex, or $\kappa$-convex divergences. We derive new and old relationships, based on convexity arguments, between…
The goal of this paper is to characterization generalized Alexander quandles of finite groups in the language of the underlying groups. Firstly, we prove that if finite groups $G$ are simple, then the quandle isomorphic classes of…
A theory of double affine and special double affine bundles, i.e. differential manifolds with two compatible (special) affine bundle structures, is developed as an affine counterpart of the theory of double vector bundles. The motivation…
