A p-local finite group is an algebraic structure with a classifying space which has many of the properties of p-completed classifying spaces of finite groups. In this paper, we construct a family of 2-local finite groups, which are exotic…

For any prime $p$ and $S$ a $p$-group isomorphic to a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $\mathrm{G}_2(p^n)$ or $\mathrm{PSU}_4(p^n)$ with $n\in\mathbb{N}$, we determine all saturated fusion systems supported on $S$ up to isomorphism.

For $S$ a Sylow $p$-subgroup of the group $\mathrm{G}_2(p)$ for $p$ odd, up to isomorphism of fusion systems, we determine all saturated fusion systems $\mathcal{F}$ on $S$ with $O_p(\mathcal{F})=1$. For $p \ne 7$, all such fusion systems…

The augmented Bergman complex of a matroid is a simplicial complex introduced recently in work of Braden, Huh, Matherne, Proudfoot and Wang. It may be viewed as a hybrid of two well-studied pure shellable simplicial complexes associated to…

We apply results proved in [Li19] to the linear order expansions of non-trivial free homogeneous structures and the universal n-linear order for $n\geq 2$, and prove the simplicity of their automorphism groups.

A linking system of difference sets is a collection of mutually related group difference sets, whose advantageous properties have been used to extend classical constructions of systems of linked symmetric designs. The central problems are…

We consider the possibility of semisimple tensor categories whose fusion rule includes exactly one noninvertible simple object. Conditions are given for the existence or nonexistence of coherent associative structures for such fusion rules,…

Linking systems are crucial for studying the homotopy theory of fusion systems, but are also of interest from an algebraic point of view. We propose a definition of a linking system associated to a saturated fusion system which is more…

We study the smooth $2$-group structure arising in the presence of quantum field theory with one-form symmetry. We acquire $2$-group structures obtained by a central extension of the zero-form symmetry by the one-form symmetry. We determine…

We show that every (not necessarily saturated) fusion system can be realized as a full subcategory of the fusion system of a finite group. This result extends our previous work \cite{Park2010} and complements the related result…

We extend the results of David Goldschmidt's thesis concerning fusion in finite groups to saturated fusion systems and to all primes.

A detailed proof is given of a theorem describing the centraliser of a transitive permutation group, with applications to automorphism groups of objects in various categories of maps, hypermaps, dessins, polytopes and covering spaces, where…

In this short note we study the cohomology algebra of saturated fusion systems using finite groups which realize saturated fusion systems and Hochschild cohomology of group algebras. A similar result to a theorem of Alperin is proved for…

It is proved that the automorphism group of a semigroup being an inflation of its proper subsemigroup decomposes into a semidirect product of two groups one of which is a direct sum of full symmetric groups.

We investigate fixed subgroups of automorphisms of generalised Baumslag-Solitar (GBS) groups. Our main results are for automorphisms leaving a Bass-Serre tree invariant, under the assumption that all edge stabilisers are strictly contained…

We determine, for $p$ odd, all saturated fusion systems on a Sylow $p$-subgroup $S$ of the unitary group $SU_4(p)$ and we prove that they are all realizable by finite groups. In particular, we prove that $S$ does not support any exotic…

To any block idempotent $b$ of a group algebra $kG$ of a finite group $G$ over a field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$, Puig associated a fusion system and proved that it is saturated if the $k$-algebra $kC_G(P)e$ is split, where $(P,e)$ is a…

We initiate the combinatorial study of factorization systems on finite lattices, paying special attention to the role that reflective and coreflective factorization systems play in partitioning the poset of factorization systems on a fixed…

Often a localization functor (in the category of groups) sends a finite simple group to another finite simple group. We study when such a localization also induces a localization between the automorphism groups and between the universal…

We study the D\'iaz-Park sharpness conjecture for fusion systems and prove that, under certain circumstances, there exists a 4 terms exact sequence relating the first two higher limits of the contravariant part of a Mackey functor over…
