We describe the relationship between the notions of $M$-regular sheaf and $GV$-sheaf in the case of abelian varieties. The former is a natural strengthening of the latter, and we provide an algebraic criterion characterizing it among the…

We address the following natural extension problem for group actions: Given a group $G$, a subgroup $H\le G$, and an action of $H$ on a metric space, when is it possible to extend it to an action of the whole group $G$ on a (possibly…

Given a finite abelian group $G$ and cyclic subgroups $A$, $B$, $C$ of $G$ of the same order, we find necessary and sufficient conditions for $A$, $B$, $C$ to admit a common transversal for the cosets they afford. For an arbitrary number of…

In this article, we first describe all nonempty sets of integers S with the property that for all n and m in S, not necessarily distinct, the set {n-m,n+m} intersected with S consists of a single element. These are the sets with at most two…

We construct an extension $E(A,G)$ of a given group $G$ by infinite non-Archimedean words over an discretely ordered abelian group like $Z^n$. This yields an effective and uniform method to study various groups that "behave like $G$". We…

Refining a result of Erdos and Mays, we give asymptotic series expansions for the functions $A(x)-C(x)$, the count of $n\leq x$ for which every group of order $n$ is abelian (but not all cyclic), and $N(x)-A(x)$, the count of $n\leq x$ for…

Let $X$ be an irreducible affine algebraic variety that is spherical with respect to an action of a connected reductive group $G$. In this paper we provide sufficient conditions, formulated in terms of weight combinatorics, for the…

We investigate the group of normalized units of the group algebra $\mathbb{Z}_{p^e}G$ of a finite abelian $p$-group $G$ over the ring $\mathbb{Z}_{p^e}$ of residues modulo $p^e$ with $e\geq 1$.

We introduce a general class of statistical-mechanics models, taking values in an abelian group, which includes examples of both spin and gauge models, both ordered and disordered. The model is described by a set of ``variables'' and a set…

We examine two counting problems that seem very group-theoretic on the surface but, on closer examination, turn out to concern integers with restrictions on their prime factors. First, given an odd prime $q$ and a finite abelian $q$-group…

An additive action on an irreducible algebraic variety $X$ is an effective action $\mathbb{G}_a^n\times X\to X$ with an open orbit of the vector group $\mathbb{G}_a^n$. Any two additive actions on $X$ are conjugate by a birational…

We consider several types of non-existence theorems for functors. For example, there are no nontrivial functors from the category of groups (or the category of pointed sets, or vector spaces) to any small category. Another type of questions…

We completely characterize by finding necessary and sufficient conditions those co-Bassian and generalized co-Bassian Abelian groups having, respectively, the hereditary or the super property, thus giving a new insight in the full discovery…

We classify by numerical invariants the finite subgroups $H$ of a primary abelian group $G$ for which every homomorphism or monomorphism of $H$ into $G$, or every endomorphism of $H$, extends to an endomorphism of $G$. We apply these…

We consider an arbitrary representation of the additive group over a field of characteristic zero and give an explicit description of a finite separating set in the corresponding ring of invariants.

Let $G$ be a finite group, and let $x$ be an element of $G$. Denote by $\Sol_G(x)$ the set of all $y \in G$ such that the group generated by $x$ and $y$ is soluble. We investigate the influence of $\Sol_G(x)$ on the structure of $G$.

We establish analogues in the context of group actions or group representations of some classical problems and results in additive combinatorics of groups. We also study the notion of left invariant submodular function defined on power sets…

Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field with discriminant $d_K\leq-7$. We deal with problems of constructing normal bases between abelian extensions of $K$ by making use of singular values of Siegel functions. First, we show that a…

The goal of this paper is to explain how a simple but apparently new fact of linear algebra together with the cohomological interpretation of L-functions allows one to produce many examples of L-functions over function fields vanishing to…

An $integral$ of a group $G$ is a group $H$ whose derived group (commutator subgroup) is isomorphic to $G$. This paper discusses integrals of groups, and in particular questions about which groups have integrals and how big or small those…
