In this article we look into characterizing primitive groups in the following way. Given a primitive group we single out a subset of its generators such that these generators alone (the so-called primitive generators) imply the group is…

We investigate a class of groups acting on possibly exotic affine buildings $X$ and possessing good proximal properties. Such groups are termed of general type, and their dynamics is analyzed through their flag limit sets in the space of…

A transitive permutation group is semiprimitive if each of its normal subgroups is transitive or semiregular. Interest in this class of groups is motivated by two sources: problems arising in universal algebra related to collapsing monoids…

The purpose of this note is to extend the classical Aschbacher--O'Nan--Scott theorem for finite groups to the class of countable linear groups. This relies on the analysis of primitive actions carried out in a previous paper. Unlike the…

This paper is devoted to the study of $2$-designs with $\lambda\ge (r,\lambda)^2$ admitting a flag-transitive automorphism group $G$. The group $G$ has been shown to be point-primitive of either almost simple or affine type. In this paper,…

We study a large family of generalized class groups of imaginary quadratic orders $O$ and prove that they act freely and (essentially) transitively on the set of primitively $O$-oriented elliptic curves over a field $k$ (assuming this set…

In this paper, we study the primitive actions of almost simple exceptional groups of Lie type on \(s\)-arc-transitive digraphs. Our motivation is the following question posed by Giudici and Xia: Is there an upper bound on $s$ for finite…

We consider linear groups and Lie groups over a non-Archimedean local field $\mathbb F$ for which the power map $x\mapsto x^k$ has a dense image or it is surjective. We prove that the group of $\mathbb F$-points of such algebraic groups is…

A classical result of F.Klein states that, given a finite primitive group $G\subseteq SL_2(\mathbb{C})$, there exists a hypergeometric equation such that any second order LODE whose differential Galois group is isomorphic to $G$ is…

Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a conjugacy class of involutions in a group $G$. We study the graph $\Gamma(\mathcal{C})$ whose vertices are elements of $\mathcal{C}$ with $g,h\in\mathcal{C}$ connected by an edge if and only if $gh\in\mathcal{C}$. For…

Essentially generalizing Lie's results, we prove that the contact equivalence groupoid of a class of (1+1)-dimensional generalized nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations is the first-order prolongation of its point equivalence groupoid, and then…

We construct an explicit infinite family of pairwise non-isomorphic infinite simple groups of type $\mathrm{F}_\infty$ (in particular, they are finitely presented) that act faithfully on the circle by orientation-preserving homeomorphisms,…

A complete classification of the flag-transitive point-imprimitive symmetric $2$-$(v,k,\lambda )$ designs with $v<100$ is provided. Apart from the known examples with $\lambda \leq 10$, the complementary design of $PG_{5}(2)$, and the…

This paper is devoted to the classification of all flag-transitive point-primitive non-trivial $2$-$(v, k, \lambda)$ designs with the alternating group $A_n$($n \le 10$) as the socle of their automorphism groups, and 87 different designs…

A Cayley Graph for a group $G$ is called normal edge-transitive if it admits an edge-transitive action of some subgroup of the Holomorph of $G$ (the normaliser of a regular copy of $G$ in $\operatorname{Sym}(G)$). We complete the…

The Gruenberg-Kegel graph ${\rm GK}(G)=(V_G, E_G)$ of a finite group $G$ is a simple graph with vertex set $V_G=\pi(G)$, the set of all primes dividing the order of $G$, and such that two distinct vertices $p$ and $q$ are joined by an edge,…

We construct completely integrable systems on the dual of the Lie algebra of any compact Lie group $K$ with respect to the standard Lie-Poisson structure. These systems generalize key properties of Gelfand-Zeitlin systems: A) the pullback…

Let X=G/K be a connected Riemannian homogeneous space of a real Lie group G. The homogeneous space X is called commutative if the algebra of G-invariant differential operators on X is commutative. We prove an effective commutativity…

Let F be the function field of a curve over a p-adic field. Let D/F be a central division algebra of prime exponent $\ell$ which is different from p. Assume that F contains a primitive ${\ell}^2$-th root of unity. Then the group…

We prove that all isometric actions of higher rank simple Lie groups and their lattices on arbitrary uniformly convex Banach spaces have a fixed point. This vastly generalises a recent breakthrough of Oppenheim. Combined with earlier work…
