In this survey paper we study parametric versions of writing a matrix in $SL_n (\mathbb{C})$ as a product of lower and upper unitriangular matrices in interchanging order as well as generalizations to other classical groups. We give an…

We study the number of non-isomorphic functional graphs of affine-linear transformations from (\F_q)^n to itself, and we prove upper and lower bounds on this quantity for n large. As a corollary to our result, we prove bounds on the number…

For a wide class of integer linear recurrence sequences $\left(u(n)\right)_{n=1}^\infty$, we give an upper bound on the number of $s$-tuples $\left(n_1, \ldots, n_s\right) \in \left(\mathbb Z\cap [M+1,M+ N]\right)^s$ such that the…

Let A and B be finite sets in a commutative group. We bound |A+hB| in terms of |A|, |A+B| and h. We provide a submultiplicative upper bound that improves on the existing bound of Imre Ruzsa by inserting a factor that decreases with h.

Let J be a finite-dimensional nilpotent algebra over a finite field F_q. We formulate a procedure for analysing characters of the group 1+J. In particular, we study characters of the group $U_n (q)$ of unipotent triangular $n\times n$…

Let $B$ be a finite CW complex and $G$ a compact connected Lie group. We show that the number of gauge groups of principal $G$-bundles over $B$ is finite up to $A_n$-equivalence for $n<\infty$. As an example, we give a lower bound of the…

In this paper we give a upper bound of 40 on Rubik's cube group. The previously known upper bound has been 42 since 1995. In order to prove our claim we use computational methods. The program used is GAP computer algebra. Further more we…

We characterize the group property of being with infinite conjugacy classes (or icc, i.e. \not= 1 and of which all conjugacy classes except 1 are infinite) for finite extensions of group.

We obtain a non--trivial upper bound for the multiplicative energy of any sufficiently large subset of a subvariety of a finite algebraic group. We also find some applications of our results to growth of conjugates classes, estimates of…

We study some subgroups of the group of unitriangular automorphisms $U_n$ of a free associative algebra over a field of characteristic zero. We find the center of $U_n$ and describe the hypercenters of $U_2$ and $U_3$. In particular, we…

Let $q=p^\alpha$ be a fixed prime power, $k\geq 2$ be an integer. We give a new upper bound for the size of $k$-wise $q$-modular $L$-avoiding $L$-intersecting set systems, where $L$ is any proper subset of $\{0, \ldots , q-1\}$. Our proof…

We present explicit upper bounds for the number and size of conjugacy classes in finite Chevalley groups and their variations. These results have been used by many authors to study zeta functions associated to representations of finite…

Let $q$ be a $p$-power where $p$ is a fixed prime. In this paper, we look at the $p$-power maps on unitriangular group $U(n,q)$ and triangular group $T(n,q)$. In the spirit of Borel dominance theorem for algebraic groups, we show that the…

In this paper, we establish upper bounds on the length of the shortest conjugator between pairs of infinite order elements in a wide class of groups. We obtain a general result which applies to all hierarchically hyperbolic groups, a class…

We present an explicit formula for subregular characters (i.e, irreducible finite-dimensional complex characters of submaximal degree) of the unitriangular group over a finite field of sufficiently large characteristic.

We study the maximal number of pairwise distinct columns in a $\Delta$-modular integer matrix with $m$ rows. Recent results by Lee et al. provide an asymptotically tight upper bound of $O(m^2)$ for fixed $\Delta$. We complement this and…

We evaluate one-dimensional representations of quantum symmetric conjugacy classes of classical matrix groups along with their quantum stabilizer subgroups.

We describe the topological behavior of the conjugacy action of the mapping class group of an orientable infinite-type surface $\Sigma$ on itself. Our main results are: (1) All conjugacy classes of $MCG(\Sigma)$ are meager for every…

Each graph and choice of a commutative ring gives rise to an associated graphical group. In this article, we introduce and investigate graph polynomials that enumerate conjugacy classes of graphical groups over finite fields according to…

In this note, we determine the finite groups whose poset of conjugacy classes of subgroups has breaking points. This leads to a new characterization of the generalized quaternion $2$-groups. A generalization of this property is also…
