It is conjectured that for fixed $A$, $r \ge 1$, and $d \ge 1$, there is a uniform bound on the size of the torsion submodule of a Drinfeld $A$-module of rank $r$ over a degree $d$ extension $L$ of the fraction field $K$ of $A$. We verify…

We classify localising subcategories of the stable module category of a finite group that are closed under tensor product with simple (or, equivalently all) modules. One application is a proof of the telescope conjecture in this context.…

We show that the simple modules of the Rouquier blocks of symmetric groups, in characteristic $p$ and having $p$-weight $w$ with $w < p$, have a common complexity $w$, and that when $p$ is odd, $D^{(p+1,1^{p-1})}$ has complexity 1, while…

The cohomology of the degree-$n$ general linear group over a finite field of characteristic $p$, with coefficients also in characteristic $p$, remains poorly understood. For example, the lowest degree previously known to contain nontrivial…

New upper bounds on the size of the torsion group of a $\mathbb{Q}$-acyclic simplicial complex are introduced which depend only on the vertex degree sequence of the complex and its dimension.

We investigate the class of quasitrivial semigroups and provide various characterizations of the subclass of quasitrivial and commutative semigroups as well as the subclass of quasitrivial and order-preserving semigroups. We also determine…

The Grothendieck--Serre conjecture predicts that every generically trivial torsor under a reductive group over a regular semilocal ring is itself trivial. Extending the work of \v{C}esnavi\v{c}ius and Fedorov, we prove a non-noetherian…

We give elementary applications of quasi-homomorphisms to growth problems in groups. A particular case concerns the number of torsion elements required to factorise a given element in the mapping class group of a surface.

We define the class of multivariate group entropies as a novel set of information - theoretical measures, which extends significantly the family of group entropies. We propose new examples related to the "super-exponential" universality…

Inspired by a conjecture by Guarnieri and Vendramin concerning the number of braces with a generalized quaternion adjoint group, many researchers have studied braces whose adjoint group is a non-abelian $2$-group with a cyclic subgroup of…

In this short note we prove that, if $p$ is an odd prime dividing the order of a sporadic simple group, then with the exception of four groups for $p=3$, all sporadic simple groups are generated by an involution and an element of order $p$.

We study endomorphism rings of principally polarized abelian surfaces over finite fields from a computational viewpoint with a focus on exhaustiveness. In particular, we address the cases of non-ordinary and non-simple varieties. For each…

Modular units are functions on modular curves whose divisors are supported on the cusps. They form a free abelian group of rank at most one less than the number of cusps. In this paper we study the group of modular units on $X_{1}( p )$,…

It is proved that if A_p is a countable elementary abelian p-group, then: (i) The ring End(A_p) does not admit a nondiscrete locally compact ring topology. (ii) Under (CH) the simple ring End(A_p)/I, where I is the ideal of End(A_p)…

Let $G$ be a finite group, $p$ a prime, and $k$ a field of characteristic $p$. We introduce the notion of an endotrivial chain complex of $p$-permutation $kG$-modules, which are the invertible objects in the bounded homotopy category of…

Any group that has a subnormal series, in which all factors are abelian and all except the last one are $p'$-torsion-free, can be embedded into a group with a subnormal series of the same length, with the same properties and such that any…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $k$ a field of prime characteristic $p$. We examine the Lefschetz homomorphism $\Lambda: \mathcal{E}_k(G) \to O(T(kG))$ from the group of endotrivial complexes, i.e. the Picard group of the bounded homotopy…

We present a quick approach to computing the $K$-theory of the category of locally compact modules over any order in a semisimple $\mathbb{Q}$-algebra. We obtain the $K$-theory by first quotienting out the compact modules and subsequently…

This paper introduces iterated monodromy groups for transcendental functions and discusses them in the simplest setting, for post-singularly finite exponential functions. These groups are self-similar groups in a natural way, based on an…

The aim of this work is to give a description of the locally trivial monodromy group of irreducible symplectic varieties arising from moduli spaces of semistable sheaves on Abelian surfaces with non-primitive Mukai vector. The outcome is…
