We study the Modular Isomorphism Problem applying a combination of existing and new techniques. We make use of the small group algebra to give a positive answer for two classes of groups of nilpotency class 3. We also introduce a new…

There is no known polynomial-time algorithm for graph isomorphism testing, but elementary combinatorial "refinement" algorithms seem to be very efficient in practice. Some philosophical justification is provided by a classical theorem of…

The computational cost of simulating quantum many-body systems can often be reduced by taking advantage of physical symmetries. While methods exist for specific symmetry classes, a general algorithm to find the full permutation symmetry…

Let $G$ be a finite $p$-group and let Aut$(G)$ denote the full automorphism group of $G$. In the recent past, there has been interest in finding necessary and sufficient conditions on $G$ such that certain subgroups of Aut$(G)$ are equal.…

Ordered matchings, defined as graphs with linearly ordered vertices, where each vertex is connected to exactly one edge, play a crucial role in the area of ordered graphs and their homomorphisms. Therefore, we consider related problems from…

We present an algorithm for the following problem: given a context-free grammar for the word problem of a virtually free group $G$, compute a finite graph of groups $\mathcal{G}$ with finite vertex groups and fundamental group $G$. Our…

The twisted group ring isomorphism problem (TGRIP) is a variation of the classical group ring isomorphism problem. It asks whether the ring structure of the twisted group ring determines the group up to isomorphism. In this article, we…

In this work we study oblivious complexity classes. These classes capture the power of interactive proofs where the prover(s) are only given the input size rather than the actual input. In particular, we study the connections between the…

Given two tuples of subspaces, can you tell whether the tuples are isomorphic? We develop theory and algorithms to address this fundamental question. We focus on isomorphisms in which the ambient vector space is acted on by either a unitary…

We find polynomial-time solutions to the word problem for free-by-cyclic groups, the word problem for automorphism groups of free groups, and the membership problem for the handlebody subgroup of the mapping class group. All of these…

The groups whose orders factorise into at most four primes have been described (up to isomorphism) in various papers. Given such an order n, this paper exhibits a new explicit and compact determination of the isomorphism types of the groups…

By a map we mean a $2$-cell decomposition of a closed compact surface, i.e., an embedding of a graph such that every face is homeomorphic to an open disc. Automorphism of a map can be thought of as a permutation of the vertices which…

The goal of this paper is to give a numerical criterion for an open question in $p$-adic Fourier theory. Let $F$ be a finite extension of $\mathbf{Q}_p$. Schneider and Teitelbaum defined and studied the character variety $\mathfrak{X}$,…

In this paper we measure how efficiently a finite simple group $G$ is generated by its elements of order $p$, where $p$ is a fixed prime. This measure, known as the $p$-width of $G$, is the minimal $k\in \mathbb{N}$ such that any $g\in G$…

Many complex questions in biology, physics, and mathematics can be mapped to the graph isomorphism problem and the closely related graph automorphism problem. In particular, these problems appear in the context of network visualization,…

We adapt the Ping-Pong Lemma, which historically was used to study free products of groups, to the setting of the homeomorphism group of the unit interval. As a consequence, we isolate a large class of generating sets for subgroups of…

In 1934, Garrett Birkhoff has shown that the number of isomorphism classes of finite metabelian groups of order $p^{22}$ tends to infinity with $p$. More precisely, for each prime number $p$ there is a family…

An order is a commutative ring that as an abelian group is finitely generated and free. A commutative ring is reduced if it has no non-zero nilpotent elements. In this paper we use a new tool, namely, the fact that every reduced order has a…
