Let $M$ be the disk or a compact, connected surface without boundary different from the sphere $S^2$ and the real projective plane $\mathbb{R}P^2$, and let $N$ be a compact, connected surface (possibly with boundary). It is known that the…

Let $p$ be a prime number and suppose that every maximal subgroup of a finite group is either $p$-nilpotent or has prime index. Such group need not be $p$-solvable, and we study its structure by proving that only one nonabelian simple group…

We show that a minimal counter example to the Cherlin-Zilber Algebraicity Conjecture for simple groups of finite Morley rank has Prufer 2-rank at most two. This article covers the signalizer functor theory and identifies the groups of Lie…

Greg Hjorth and Simon Thomas proved that the classification problem for torsion-free abelian groups of finite rank \emph{strictly increases} in complexity with the rank. Subsequently, Thomas proved that the complexity of the classification…

In this note, we show that the epimorphic subgroups of an algebraic group are exactly the pull-backs of the epimorphic subgroups of its affinization. We also obtain epimorphicity criteria for subgroups of affine algebraic groups, which…

For symplectic Lie algebras $\mathfrak{sp}(2n,\mathbb{C})$, denote by $\mathfrak{b}$ and $\mathfrak{n}$ its Borel subalgebra and maximal nilpotent subalgebra, respectively. We construct a relationship between the abelian ideals of…

We study group gradings on the Albert algebra and on the simple exceptional Lie algebra $\frak{f}_4$ over algebraically closed fields of characteristic zero. There are eight nontoral nonequivalent gradings on the Albert algebra (three of…

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…

It is shown that a gerenalised radical group has no chain of non-pronormal subgroups with the same order type as the set of the real numbers if and only if either the group is minimax or all subgroups are pronormal.

We classify closed abelian subgroups of a compact simple Lie group of adjoint type and of type E having centralizer of the same dimension as the dimension of the subgroup and describe Weyl groups of maximal abelian subgroups.

We classify all groups of order $p^5$ with non-trivial unramified Brauer groups. We show that if $p>3$, then there are precisely $\gcd (p-1,4)+\gcd (p-1,3)+1$ such groups.

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 conjecture that semi-p-abelian groups is strongly semi-p-abelian is flase for p=3.And it's true for metabelian semi-p-abelian groups.

Let $A$ be an abelian variety over a number field $K$ with good reduction outside a finite set of primes $S$. We show that if the $\ell$-torsion subgroup schemes $A[\ell^n]$ lie in a certain category of group schemes, then $A[\ell^n]$ does…

Let $A$ be a finite rank torsion--free abelian group. Then there exist direct decompositions $A=B\oplus C$ where $B$ is completely decomposable and $C$ has no rank 1 direct summand. In such a decomposition $B$ is unique up to isomorphism…

In this paper we describe all gradings by abelian groups without elements of order five on the Melikyan algebras over algebraically closed fields.

A maximal abelian normal subgroup A in a nilpotent group N is self-centralizing. This makes their role an important one in determining the structure of the nilpotent group. For example if A is finite then N is also finite. In the free…

We prove that non-abelian free groups of finite rank at least 3 or of countable rank are not $\forall$-homogeneous. We answer three open questions from Kharlampovich, Myasnikov, and Sklinos regarding whether free groups, finitely generated…

Let l be a prime. We show that there do not exist any non-zero semi-stable abelian varieties over Q with good reduction outside l if and only if l=2, 3, 5, 7 or 13. We show that any semi-stable abelian variety over Q with good reduction…
