We prove that the rational cohomology of the space of non-singular complex homogeneous polynomials of degree d in a fixed number of variables stabilizes to the cohomology of the general linear group for d sufficiently large.
We prove that the genus of a finite-dimensional division algebra is finite whenever the center is a finitely generated field of any characteristic. We also discuss potential applications of our method to other problems, including the…
We solve a long standing open problem concerning the structure of finite cycles in the category mod A of finitely generated modules over an arbitrary artin algebra A, that is, the chains of homomorphisms $M_0 \stackrel{f_1}{\rightarrow} M_1…
We introduce some special presentations on finite groups, that we call "diagonal double Kodaira structures" and whose existence is equivalent to the existence of some special Kodaira fibred surfaces, that we call "diagonal double Kodaira…
We prove that the group $\mathrm{SAut}_{\mathrm{k}}(\mathbb{A}^2)$ is simple as an algebraic group of infinite dimension, over any infinite field $\mathrm{k}$, by proving that any closed normal subgroup is either trivial or the whole group.…
A survey of problems, conjectures, and theorems about quasi-isometric classification and rigidity for finitely generated solvable groups.
The spectrum of a finite group is the set of element orders of this group. The main goal of this paper is to survey results concerning recognition of finite simple groups by spectrum, in particular, to list all finite simple groups for…
A group homomorphism eta:H-->G is called a localization of H if every homomorphism phi:H-->G can be `extended uniquely' to a homomorphism Phi:G-->G in the sense that Phi eta=phi. Libman showed that a localization of a finite group need not…
We give a structural theorem for pseudofinite groups of finite centraliser dimension. As a corollary, we observe that there is no finitely generated pseudofinite group of finite centraliser dimension.
We study a class of complex polynomial equations on a finite graph with a view to understanding how holistic phenomena emerge from combinatorial structure. Particular solutions arise from orthogonal projections of regular polytopes,…
A structure is called homogeneous if every isomorphism between finite substructures of the structure extends to an automorphism of the structure. Recently, P. J. Cameron and J. Ne\v{s}et\v{r}il introduced a relaxed version of homogeneity:…
In this note on coarse geometry we revisit coarse homotopy. We prove that coarse homotopy indeed is an equivalence relation, and this in the most general context of abstract coarse structures. We introduce (in a geometric way) coarse…
We exhibit a family of metrizable manifolds such that any finite group appears as the fundamental group of one of them. These spaces are especially interesting as they can be easily visualized, as opposed to classical examples of spaces…
In the course of classifying the homogeneous permutations, Cameron introduced the viewpoint of permutations as structures in a language of two linear orders, and this structural viewpoint is taken up here. The majority of this thesis is…
This self-contained paper is part of a series \cite{FF2,FF3} on actions by diffeomorphisms of infinite groups on compact manifolds. The two main results presented here are: 1) Any homomorphism of (almost any) mapping class group or…
Symmetry groups allow to transform solutions of differential equations continuously into other solutions. This property can be used for the observability analysis of infinite-dimensional systems with input and output. In this contribution,…
In Finite Group Modular Representation Theory, the basic objects are the indecomposable and simple modules. This paper offers a new classification of these objects that refines the Green Theory Classification of indecomposable and simple…
We classify the metric spaces that can be approximated by finite homogeneous ones.
We prove that any compact complex manifold with finite fundamental group and algebraic dimension zero admits no holomorphic affine connection.
We discuss some finite homogeneous structures, addressing the question of universality of their automorphism groups. We also study the existence of so-called Kat\v{e}tov functors in finite categories of embeddings or homomorphisms.
