We prove that a family of at least two non-trivial, almost-connected locally compact groups cannot have a coproduct in the category of locally compact groups if at least one of the groups is connected; this confirms the intuition that…

Let $K$ be a finite simplicial complex, and $(X,A)$ be a pair of spaces. The purpose of this article is to study the fundamental group of the polyhedral product denoted $Z_K(X,A)$, which denotes the moment-angle complex of Buchstaber-Panov…

We consider factorizations $G=XY$ where $G$ is a general group, $X$ and $Y$ are normal subsets of $G$ and any $g\in G$ has a unique representation $g=xy$ with $x\in X$ and $y\in Y$. This definition coincides with the customary and…

Let $X$ and $Y$ be topological spaces. Let $C$ be a path-connected closed set of $X\times Y$. Suppose that $C$ is locally direct product, that is, for any $(a,b)\in X\times Y$, there exist an open set $U$ of $X$, an open set $V$ of $Y$, a…

Let D be a divisor in a complex analytic manifold X. A natural problem is to determine when the de Rham complex of meromorphic forms on X with poles along D is quasi-isomorphic to its subcomplex of logarithmic forms. In this mostly…

Let $I$ be an infinite set, $\{G_i:i\in I\}$ be a family of (topological) groups and $G=\prod_{i\in I} G_i$ be its direct product. For $J\subseteq I$, $p_{J}: G\to \prod_{j\in J} G_j$ denotes the projection. We say that a subgroup $H$ of…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $G'$ its commutator subgroup. By a sequence over $G$, we mean a finite unordered sequence of terms from $G$, where repetition is allowed, and we say that it is a product-one sequence if its terms can be ordered…

Suppose that $\mathcal{C}$ is a class of groups consisting only of periodic groups and $\mathfrak{P}(\mathcal{C})^{\prime}$ is the set of prime numbers each of which does not divide the order of any element of a $\mathcal{C}$-group. A…

Given a locally compact group $G=Q\ltimes V$ such that $V$ is Abelian and such that the action of $Q$ on the Pontryagin dual $\hat V$ has a free orbit of full measure, we construct a family of unitary dual $2$-cocycles $\Omega_\omega$ (aka…

It is proved that any left F-quasigroup is isomorphic to the direct product of a left F-quasigroup with a unique idempotent element and isotope of a special form of a left distributive quasigroup. The similar theorems are proved for right…

Let A be an algebra over a field k, and denote by D^b(Mod A) the bounded derived category of left A-modules. The derived Picard group DPic_k(A) is the group of triangle auto-equivalences of D^b(Mod A) induced by tilting complexes. We study…

A finite group $G$ is a DCI-group if, whenever $S$ and $S'$ are subsets of $G$ with the Cayley graphs Cay$(G,S)$ and Cay$(G,S')$ isomorphic, there exists an automorphism $\varphi$ of $G$ with $\varphi(S)=S'$. It is a CI-group if this…

A topological semigroup is monothetic provided it contains a dense cyclic subsemigroup. The Koch problem asks whether every locally compact monothetic monoid is compact. This problem was opened for more than sixty years, till in 2018…

We make explicit some conditions on a semi-abelian category D such that, for any abelian group A in D and any object Y in D, the cohomology group homomorphisms with coefficients in A, induced by the inclusion of the abelian objects of D at…

Let k be an infinite field, I an infinite set, V a k-vector-space, and g:k^I\to V a k-linear map. It is shown that if dim_k(V) is not too large (under various hypotheses on card(k) and card(I), if it is finite, respectively countable,…

We obtain a local central limit theorem for cocycles associated with a class of non abelian and non compact group extensions of Gibbs Markov maps. This class consists of multidimensional infinite dihedral groups. Unlike in the set up of the…

We establish a necessary condition that an automorphism of a nontrivial finitely generated bi-orderable group can preserve a bi-ordering: at least one of its eigenvalues, suitably defined, must be real and positive. Applications are given…

Let $G=\mathbf{Z}_{p} \oplus \mathbf{Z}_{p^2}$, where $p$ is a prime number. Suppose that $d$ is a divisor of the order of $G$. In this paper we find the number of automorphisms of $G$ fixing $d$ elements of $G$, and denote it by…

In this article, we prove that a semidirect product of a locally finite group with a surjunctive group is also surjunctive. We also prove that a surjunctive-by-locally finite group is again surjunctive.

In this paper we obtain the Wedderburn-Artin decomposition of a semisimple group algebra associated to a direct product of finite groups. We also provide formulae for the number of all possible group codes, and their dimensions, that can be…
