We restrict the type of $2 \times 2$-matrices which can occur as simple components in the Wedderburn decomposition of the rational group algebra of a finite group. This results in a description up to commensurability of the group of units…

In previous work of Gow, Ohmori, Lusztig and the author, the Schur indices of all unipotent characters of finite groups of Lie type have been explicitly determined except for six cases in groups of type $F_4$, $E_7$ and $E_8$. In this…

For a nonzero integer n, a set of m distinct nonzero integers {a_1,a_2,...,a_m} such that a_i a_j + n is a perfect square for all 1 <= i < j <= m, is called a D(n)-m-tuple. In this paper, by using properties of so-called regular Diophantine…

We construct a finitely presented group with undecidable word problem and with Dehn function bounded by a quadratic function on an infinite set of positive integers.

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…

Motivated by a problem from behavioral economics, we study subgroups of permutation groups that have a certain strong symmetry. Given a fixed permutation, consider the set of all permutations with disjoint inversion sets. The group is…

Karol Borsuk in 1968 asked: Is it true that every finite polyhedron dominates only finitely many different shapes? Danuta Kolodziejczyk showed that generally an answer to the Borsuk question is negative and also presented a positive answer…

We make available some results about model theory cyclically ordered groups. We start with a classification of complete theories of divisible abelian cyclically ordered groups. Then we look at the cyclically ordered groups where the only…

Let $D,Q$ be natural numbers, $(D,Q)=1$, such that $D/Q>1$ and $D/Q$ is not a square. Let $q$ be the smallest divisor of $Q$ such that $Q|\, q^2$. We show that the units $>1$ of the ring $\mathbb Z[\sqrt{Dq^2/Q}]$ are connected with certain…

We introduce the notion of asymptotic Grothendieck groups for abelian and triangulated categories that are both AB4 and AB4*. We study when the asymptotic Grothendieck group of the heart of a triangulated category with a t-structure is…

The ring of ad\`eles of a global field and its group of units, the group of id\`eles, are fundamental objects in modern number theory. We discuss a formalization of their definitions in the Lean 3 theorem prover. As a prerequisite, we…

The structure of the unitary unit group of the group algebra ${\F}_{2^k} Q_{8}$ is described as a Hamiltonian group.

The Heisenberg group, here denoted $H$, is the group of all $3\times 3$ upper unitriangular matrices with entries in the ring $\mathbb{Z}$ of integers. A.G. Myasnikov posed the question of whether or not the universal theory of $H$, in the…

In "Almost Free Modules, Set-theoretic Methods", Eklof and Mekler raised the question about the existence of dual abelian groups G which are not isomorphic to Z+G. Recall that G is a dual group if G ~ D^* for some group D with D^*=Hom(D,Z).…

We examine the existence of universal elements in classes of infinite abelian groups. The main method is using group invariants which are defined relative to club guessing sequences. We prove, for example: Theorem: For $n\ge 2$, there is a…

In a finite group, a subset is called a Lagrange subset if its size divides the group order, and a factor if it admits a complementary subset. We provide a new and comparatively direct proof of the classification of groups in which every…

The Frobenius--Schur indicators of characters in a real 2-block with dihedral defect groups have been determined by Murray. We show that two infinite families described in his work do not exist and we construct examples for the remaining…

Let $\mathbf{k}$ be an algebraically closed field. Recently, K. Erdmann classified the symmetric $\mathbf{k}$-algebras $\Lambda$ of finite representation type such that every non-projective module $M$ has period dividing four. The goal of…

We investigate the stabilization $\mathcal{S}$ of the module category over an artinian ring $\Lambda$ by formally inverting the tensor endofunctor given by the bimodule of relative noncommutative differential $1$-forms. It turns out that…

This paper is centered around the classical problem of extracting properties of a finite group $G$ from the ring isomorphism class of its integral group ring $\mathbb{Z} G$. This problem is considered via describing the unit group…
