Various reconstructions of finite-dimensional quantum mechanics result in a formally real Jordan algebra A and a last step remains to conclude that A is the self-adjoint part of a C*-algebra. Using a quantum logical setting, it is shown…

Let $M$ be a $G$-manifold and $\om$ a $G$-invariant exact $m$-form on $M$. We indicate when these data allow us to constract a cocycle on a group $G$ with values in the trivial $G$-module $\mathbb R$ and when this cocycle is nontrivial.

A normal subgroup $E$ of a group $G$ is said to be hypercyclically embedded in $G$ if either $E=1$ or $E\neq 1$ and every chief factor of $G$ below $E$ is cyclic. In this article, we present some new characterizations of a normal subgroup…

The c-dimension of a group G is the maximal length of a chain of nested centralizers in G. We prove that a locally finite group of finite c-dimension k has less than 5k nonabelian composition factors.

We give a technical result that implies a straightforward necessary and sufficient conditions for a graph of groups with virtually cyclic edge groups to be one ended. For arbitrary graphs of groups, we show that if their fundamental group…

A topological group is locally pseudocompact if it contains a non-empty open set with pseudocompact closure. In this note, we prove that if G is a group with the property that every closed subgroup of G is locally pseudocompact, then G_0 is…

A rank one local system $\LL$ on a smooth complex algebraic variety $M$ is admissible roughly speaking if the dimension of the cohomology groups $H^m(M,\LL)$ can be computed directly from the cohomology algebra $H^*(M,\C)$. We say that a…

A family of groups is called (maximal) cyclic bounded ((M)CB) if, for every natural number $n$, there are only finitely many groups in the family with at most $n$ (maximal) cyclic subgroups. We prove that the family of groups of prime power…

Locally recoverable (LRC) codes and their variants have been extensively studied in recent years. In this paper we focus on cyclic constructions of LRC codes and derive conditions on the zeros of the code that support the property of…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $\cF$ be a family of subgroups of $G$ closed under conjugation and taking subgroups. We consider the question whether there exists a periodic relative $\cF$-projective resolution for $\bbZ$ when $\cF$ is the…

We study codes with a single check element derived from group rings, namely, checkable codes. The notion of a code-checkable group ring is introduced. Necessary and sufficient conditions for a group ring to be code-checkable are given in…

In this paper, we introduce Mackey functors for a t.d.l.c. group and define the cohomological dimension of this group over the Mackey category. We then compare this dimension to the rational discrete cohomological dimension defined by…

Virtual index cocycle is the 1-cochain that counts virtual crossings in the arcs of a virtual link diagram. We show how this cocycle can be used to reformulate and unify some known invariants of virtual links.

We show that if a nontrivial group admits a locally invariant ordering, then it admits uncountably many locally invariant orderings. For the case of a left-orderable group, we provide an explicit construction of uncountable families of…

The clustering coefficient of a vertex in a graph is the proportion of neighbours of the vertex that are adjacent. The minimum clustering coefficient of a graph is the smallest clustering coefficient taken over all vertices. A complete…

Let $G$ be an algebraic group and let $X$ be a smooth $G$-variety with two orbits: an open orbit and a a closed orbit of codimension $1$. We give an algebraic description of the category of $G$-equivariant vector bundles on $X$ under a mild…

We initiate the study of the $p$-local commensurability graph of a group, where $p$ is a prime. This graph has vertices consisting of all finite-index subgroups of a group, where an edge is drawn between $A$ and $B$ if $[A : A\cap B]$ and…

We compute the Du Bois complexes of abstract cones over singular varieties, and use this to describe the local cohomological dimension and the non-positive K-groups of such cones.

The reachable set for a finite dimensional quantum system is shown to be the orbit of the group corresponding to the internal and control Hamiltonians, even if this group is not compact.

This paper studies Moore's measurable cohomology theory for locally compact groups and Polish modules. An elementary dimension-shifting argument is used to show that all classes in that theory have representatives with considerable extra…
