In this note, we present a formula for the action of the primitive Milnor operations on generators of algebra of invariants of the general linear group $GL_n=GL(n, \mathbb F_p)$ in the polynomial algebra $P_n= \mathbb…

In this work, we complete the classification of generically multiply transitive actions of groups on solvable groups in the finite Morley rank setting. We prove that if $G$ is a connected group of finite Morley rank acting definably,…

An $\widetilde A_2$ group $\Gamma$ acts simply transitively on the vertices of an affine building $\triangle$. We study certain subgroups $\Gamma_0 \cong {\Bbb Z}^2$ which act on certain apartments of $\triangle$. If one of these subgroups…

In this paper, we study a natural class of groups that act as affine transformations of $\mathbb T^N$. We investigate whether these solvable, "abelian-by-cyclic," groups can act smoothly and nonaffinely on $\mathbb T^N$ while remaining…

We prove that if a group scheme of multiplicative type acts on an algebraic stack with affine, finitely presented diagonal then the stack of fixed points is algebraic. For this, we extend two theorems of [SGA3.2] on functors of subgroups of…

In \cite{striker2018rowmotion} Striker generalized Cameron and Fon-Der-Flaass's notion of a toggle group. In this paper we begin the study of transitive generalized toggle groups that contain a cycle. We first show that if such a group has…

A homogeneous space is a manifold on which a Lie group acts transitively. Super generalization of this concept is also studied in [2] and [4]. In this paper we explicitly show that super Lie group GL(m|n) acts transitively on…

We prove that groups acting boundedly and order-primitively on linear orders or acting extremly proximality on a Cantor set (the class including various Higman-Thomson groups and Neretin groups of almost automorphisms of regular trees, also…

Let $G$ be a semisimple algebraic group whose decomposition into a product of simple components does not contain simple groups of type $A$, and $P\subseteq G$ be a parabolic subgroup. Extending the results of Popov [7], we enumerate all…

This work is a continuation of Automorphisms of $K$-groups I, P. Flavell, preprint. The main object of study is a finite $K$-group $G$ that admits an elementary abelian group $A$ acting coprimely. For certain group theoretic properties…

A graph \Gamma is said to be {\em symmetric} if its automorphism group \Aut(\Gamma) is transitive on the arc set of \Gamma. Let $G$ be a finite non-abelian simple group and let \Gamma be a connected pentavalent symmetric graph such that…

In this paper, we study intersecting sets in primitive and quasiprimitive permutation groups. Let $G \leqslant \mathrm{Sym}(\Omega)$ be a transitive permutation group, and ${S}$ an intersecting set. Previous results show that if $G$ is…

Let $\Gamma$ be a connected $G$-vertex-transitive graph, let $v$ be a vertex of $\Gamma$ and let $L=G_v^{\Gamma(v)}$ be the permutation group induced by the action of the vertex-stabiliser $G_v$ on the neighbourhood $\Gamma(v)$. Then…

Suppose that a group $G$ acts transitively on the points of a non-Desarguesian plane, $\mathcal{P}$. We prove first that the Sylow 2-subgroups of $G$ are cyclic or generalized quaternion. We also prove that $\mathcal{P}$ must admit an odd…

In this paper we show that a flag-transitive automorphism group $G$ of a non-trivial $2$-$(v,k,\lambda)$ design with $\lambda\geq (r, \lambda)^2$ is not of product action type. In conclusion, $G$ is a primitive group of affine or almost…

Every synchronising permutation group is primitive and of one of three types: affine, almost simple, or diagonal. We exhibit the first known example of a synchronising diagonal type group. More precisely, we show that…

We compute the action of the primitive Steenrod-Milnor operations on generators of algebras of invariants of subgroups of general linear group GL_n=GL(n,F_p) in the polynomial algebra with p an odd prime number.

Consider a lattice $\Gamma$ in a group $G = SL_2(\R), SO(1,n), SU(1,n)$, $SL_2(\Q_p)$. We discuss actions of $\Gamma$ by affine isometric transformations of Hilbert spaces. We show that for irreducible affine isometric action of $G$ its…
