Let $G$ be an additive group of order $v$. A $k$-element subset $D$ of $G$ is called a $(v, k, \lambda, t)$-almost difference set if the expressions $gh^{-1}$, for $g$ and $h$ in $D$, represent $t$ of the non-identity elements in $G$…

It is well known that for a Hausdorff topological group $X$, the limits of convergent sequences in $X$ define a function denoted by $\lim$ from the set of all convergent sequences in $X$ to $X$. This notion has been modified by Connor and…

Every Lie group $G$ carries a distinguished algebra of particularly well-behaved real-analytic mappings: The entire functions $\mathcal{E}(G)$. They were introduced for the purposes of strict deformation quantization. This paper establishes…

Let $G$ and $A$ be finite groups with $A$ acting on $G$ by automorphisms. In this paper we introduce the concept of "good action"; namely we say the action of $A$ on $G$ is good, if $H=[H,B]C_H(B)$ for every subgroup $B$ of $A$ and every…

We use algebraic techniques to study homological filling functions of groups and their subgroups. If $G$ is a group admitting a finite $(n+1)$--dimensional $K(G,1)$ and $H \leq G$ is of type $F_{n+1}$, then the $n^{th}$--homological filling…

We observe that for a large class of non-amenable groups $G$, one can find bounded representations of $A(G)$ on Hilbert space which are not completely bounded. We also consider restriction algebras obtained from $A(G)$, equipped with the…

In this article we aim to develop from first principles a theory of sum sets and partial sum sets, which are defined analogously to difference sets and partial difference sets. We obtain non-existence results and characterisations. In…

Let $(G,u)$ be an archimedean norm-complete dimension group with order unit. Continuing a previous paper, we study intervals (i.e., nonempty upward directed lower subsets) of $G$ which are closed with respect to the canonical norm of…

Difference balanced functions from $F_{q^n}^*$ to $F_q$ are closely related to combinatorial designs and naturally define $p$-ary sequences with the ideal two-level autocorrelation. In the literature, all existing such functions are…

Given a square matrix with elements in the group-ring of a group, one can consider the sequence formed by the trace (in the sense of the group-ring) of its powers. We prove that the corresponding generating series is an algebraic…

A group G is (finitely) co-Hopfian if it does not contain any proper (finite-index) subgroups isomorphic to itself. We study finitely generated groups G that admit a descending chain of proper normal finite-index subgroups, each of which is…

We show the connection between the relative Dehn function of a finitely generated metabelian group and the distortion function of a corresponding subgroup in the wreath product of two free abelian groups of finite rank. Further, we show…

This paper is concerned with the topological space of normalized quaternion-valued positive definite functions on an arbitrary abelian group G, especially its convex characteristics. There are two main results. Firstly, we prove that the…

A set with a group action is referred to as a $G$-set, and the set of functions that commute with this action forms a monoid under function composition. This paper examines the case where the $G$-set is finite, which implies that the monoid…

Let $K$ be any field and $G$ be a finite group. Let $G$ act on the rational function field $K(x_g: \ g \in G)$ by $K$-automorphisms defined by $g \cdot x_h=x_{gh}$ for any $g, \ h \in G$. Denote by $K(G)$ the fixed field $K(x_g: \ g \in…

An enlarged group G of nonlinear transformations, modeled on the general linear group GL(2,R), leads to a beautiful, apparently unremarked symmetry between the wave function's phase and the logarithm of its amplitude. Equations Doebner and…

In this article we generalize the results of the previous article with the same title [arXiv:0901.3308] for the case of an arbitrariy linear representation and non-normal stationary subgroup.

Let $H$ be a subgroup of a finite non-abelian group $G$ and $g \in G$. Let $Z(H, G) = \{x \in H : xy = yx, \forall y \in G\}$. We introduce the graph $\Delta_{H, G}^g$ whose vertex set is $G \setminus Z(H, G)$ and two distinct vertices $x$…

Let $H$ be a transfer Krull monoid over a finite ablian group $G$ (for example, rings of integers, holomorphy rings in algebraic function fields, and regular congruence monoids in these domains). Then each nonunit $a \in H$ can be written…

Suppose that A is a subset of an abelian group G. To know the 3-deck of A is to know the number of occurences in A of translates of each possible multiset {0,a,b}. The concept of the 3-deck is naturally extended to integrable functions on…
