Let f be a smooth diffeomorphism of the half-line fixing only the origin and Z^r its centralizer in the group of C^r diffeomorphisms. According to well-known results of Szekeres and Kopell, Z^1 is a one-parameter group. On the other hand,…

Let $A$ and $G$ be finite groups such that $A$ acts coprimely on $G$ by automorphisms. We provide a complete classification of a finite group $G$ in which every maximal $A$-invariant subgroup containing the normalizer of some $A$-invariant…

We give a new proof of Glauberman's ZJ Theorem, in a form that clarifies the choices involved and offers more choices than classical treatments. In particular, we introduce two new ZJ-type subgroups of a $p$-group $S$, that contain…

Let $D$ be a division ring with the center $F=Z(D)$. Suppose that $N$ is a normal subgroup of $D^*$ which is radical over $F$, that is, for any element $x\in N$, there exists a positive integer $n_x$, such that $x^{n_x}\in F$. In…

This work is devoted to computing the centralizer $Z (L)$ of an ordinary differential operator (ODO) in the ring of differential operators. Non-trivial centralizers are known to be coordinate rings of spectral curves and contain the ring of…

Let $p$ be a prime number. A saturated fusion system $\mathcal{F}$ on a finite $p$-group $S$ is said to be supersolvable if there is a series $1 = S_0 \le S_1 \le \dots \le S_m = S$ of subgroups of $S$ such that $S_i$ is strongly…

Let $D$ be a division ring with center $F$, and $G$ a subnormal subgroup of $D^*$. We show that if $G$ is a locally solvable group such that $G^{(i)}$ is algebraic over $F$, then $G$ must be central. Also, if $M$ is non-abelian locally…

We prove that if $\mathcal{E}\trianglelefteq\mathcal{F}$ are saturated fusion systems over $p$-groups $T\trianglelefteq S$, such that $C_S(\mathcal{E})\le T$, and either $Aut_{\mathcal{F}}(T)/Aut_{\mathcal{E}}(T)$ or $Out(\mathcal{E})$ is…

Let $G$ be a locally profinite group and let $k$ be a field of positive characteristic $p$. Let $Z(G)$ denote the center of $G$ and let $\mathfrak{Z}(G)$ denote the Bernstein center of $G$, that is, the $k$-algebra of natural endomorphisms…

This paper contains several results about the structure of the congruence kernel C^(S)(G) of an absolutely almost simple simply connected algebraic group G over a global field K with respect to a set of places S of K. In particular, we show…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $x$ be an element of $G$. Define $\textrm{Sol}_G(x)$ as the set of all $y \in G$ such that $\langle {x,y}\rangle$ is soluble. We provide an equivalent condition for the normalizer-solubilizer conjecture, namely…

A solvable Lie algebra L has the property that its nilradical N contains its own centraliser. This is interesting because gives a representation of L as a subalgebra of the derivation algebra of its nilradical with kernel equal to the…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $H$ a normal subgroup. $D(H;G)$ is the crossed product of $C(H)$ and ${\Bbb C}G$ which is only a subalgebra of $D(G)$, the quantum double of $G$. One can construct a $C^*$-subalgebra ${\mathcal{F}}_{_H}$ of the…

Denoting by Sigma(S) the set of subset sums of a subset S of a finite abelian group G, we prove that |Sigma(S)| >= |S|(|S|+2)/4-1 whenever S is symmetric, |G| is odd and Sigma(S) is aperiodic. Up to an additive constant of 2 this result is…

Using L\"uck's Chern character isomorphism we obtain a general formula in terms of centralisers for the $p$-adic Farrell--Tate $K$-theory of any discrete group $G$ with a finite classifying space for proper actions. We apply this formula to…

Let G be a semisimple algebraic group over a field K whose characteristic is very good for G, and let sigma be any G-equivariant isomorphism from the nilpotent variety to the unipotent variety; the map sigma is known as a Springer…

A p-group G is p-central if the central quotient has exponent p. We prove that for a subset of finite p-central p-groups, the order of the group G divides the order of Aut(G).

Let G be a group and H be a subgroup of G which is either finite or of finite index in G. In this note, we give some characterizations for normality of H in G. As a consequence we get a very short and elementary proof of the Main Theorem of…

We describe the structure of the coefficient ring $W^*(pt)=\varOmega_W^*$ of the $c_1$-spherical bordism theory for an arbitrary $SU$-bilinear multiplication. We prove that for any $SU$-bilinear multiplication the formal group of the theory…

Let $p$ be an odd prime and $S$ a nonabelian finite $p$-group. In [9, 10], they proposed the following conjecture: if $\mathcal{F}$ be a transitive fusion system over a finite $p$-group $S$, then $S$ is either extraspecial of order $p^{3}$…
