We classify gradings by arbitrary abelian groups on the classical simple Lie and Jordan superalgebras $Q(n)$, $n \geq 2$, over an algebraically closed field of characteristic different from $2$ (and not dividing $n+1$ in the Lie case): fine…

In 2020, Calderoni, Marker, Motto Ros and Shani asked what the Borel complexity of the isomorphism relation of Archimedean orders on $\mathbb{Q}^n$ is. We answer this question by proving that the isomorphism relation of Archimedean orders…

The Serre conjecture II predicts that every torsor under a semisimple, simply connected, algebraic group over a field of cohomological dimension at most 2 and of degree of imperfection at most 1 has a rational point. We generalize this…

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…

We consider linear groups which do not contain unipotent elements of infinite order, which includes all linear groups in positive characteristic, and show that this class of groups has good properties which resemble those held by groups of…

Here we analyze a proper 2-generated core in a minimal counter example to the Cherlin-Zilber Algebraicity Conjecture for simple groups of finite Morley rank. We ultimately show that such a group is strongly embedded and the ambiant group is…

We study model-theoretic and stability-theoretic properies of the nonabelian free group in the light of Sela's recent result on stability and results announced by Bestvina and Feighn. We point out analogies between the free group and…

It is known that a bi-orderable group has no generalized torsion element, but the converse does not hold in general. We conjecture that the converse holds for the fundamental groups of 3-manifolds, and verify the conjecture for…

In this note we show that there are no higher twistings for the Borel cohomology theory associated to G-equivariant K-theory over a point and for a compact Lie group G. Therefore, twistings over a point for this theory are classified by the…

An indecomposable decomposition of a torsion-free abelian group $G$ of rank $n$ is a decomposition $G=A_1\oplus\cdots\oplus A_t$ where $A_i$ is indecomposable of rank $r_i$ so that $\sum_i r_i=n$ is a partition of $n$. The group $G$ may…

In the note we prove that all composition factors of a finite group possessing a Carter subgroup of odd order either are abelain, or are isomorphic to $L_2(3^{2n+1})$.

The complete list of pairs of non-isomorphic finite simple groups having the same order is well-known. In particular for p>3, PSL_2(Z/p) is the "only" simple group of order (p^3-p)/2. It's less well-known that Frobenius proved this…

We prove that for the free group of rank two $F$ the cokernel of the homomorphism to its Baumslag rationalization $F\to {\sf Bau}(F)$ is not abelian. Moreover, this cokernel contains a free subgroup of countable rank. This answers a…

We prove that on $\mathbb{P}^{3}$ there is no exceptional bundle with rank $r=2d^{2}+1$ and degree $d$ for every $|d|\geq 4$. In particular, we find a new obstruction for the existence of exceptional bundles other than $r|(2d^{2}+1)$. We…

Let S be a closed oriented surface of genus g > 1, and let T denote its Torelli group. First, given a set E of homotopically nontrivial, pairwise disjoint, pairwise nonisotopic simple closed curves on S, we determine precisely when a…

Topological groups whose underlying spaces are basically disconnected, $F$-, or $F'$-spaces but not $P$-spaces are considered. It is proved, in particular, that the existence of a Lindel\"of basically disconnected topological group which is…

We prove that in a simple real Lie group, there is no Borel measurable dense subgroup of intermediate Hausdorff dimension.

It is known that every torsion-free abelian group of finite rank has a maximal completely decomposable summand that is unique up to isomorphism. We show that groups of infinite rank need not have maximal completely decomposable summands,…

By Torelli topology the author understands aspects of the topology of surfaces (potentially) relevant to the study of Torelli groups. The present paper is devoted to a new approach to the results of W. Vautaw about Dehn multi-twists in…

We prove a non-generosity theorem for proper cosets in groups of finite Morley rank and elaborate on the theory of Weyl groups in this context.
