All subalgebras, idempotents, left(right) ideals and left quasi-units of two-dimensional algebras are described. Classification of algebras with given number of subalgebras, left(right) ideals are provided. In particular, a list of…

Let $S$ be a semigroup. The elements $a,b\in S$ are called primarily conjugate if $a=xy$ and $b=yx$ for certain $x,y\in S$. The relation of conjugacy is defined as the transitive closure of the relation of primary conjugacy. In the case…

Binary idempotent semirings govern classical path algebras. Their multiplicative structure is dyadic. We examine whether this restriction is structural or accidental. We define ternary idempotent $\Gamma$-semirings as higher-arity ordered…

Let $A$ be an elementary abelian group of order $p^{k}$ with $k\geq 3$ acting on a finite $p'$-group $G$. The following results are proved. If $\gamma_{k-2}(C_{G}(a))$ is nilpotent of class at most $c$ for any $a\in A^{#}$, then…

We look at the centralizer in a semisimple algebraic group $G$ of a regular nilpotent element, and show that its closure in the wonderful compactification is isomorphic to the Peterson variety. It follows that the closure in the wonderful…

Let $G$ be a finite group admitting a coprime automorphism $\alpha$ of order $e$. Denote by $I_G(\alpha)$ the set of commutators $g^{-1}g^\alpha$, where $g\in G$, and by $[G,\alpha]$ the subgroup generated by $I_G(\alpha)$. We study the…

This paper is an attempt to find out which properties of a finite group G can be expressed in terms of commutators of elements of coprime orders. A criterion of solubility of G in terms of such commutators is obtained. We also conjecture…

This paper is a continuation of Almost Commutative Terwilliger Algebras of Group Association Schemes I: Classification [1]. In that paper, we found all groups G for which the Terwilliger algebra of the group association scheme, denoted T…

We check that the connected centralisers of nilpotent elements in the orthogonal and symplectic groups have Levi decompositions in even characteristic. This provides a justification for the identification of the isomorphism classes of the…

There are several graphs defined on groups. Among them we consider graphs whose vertex set consists conjugacy classes of a group $G$ and adjacency is defined by properties of the elements of conjugacy classes. In particular, we consider…

Let $ x $ be an element of a finite group $ G $ and denote the order of $ x $ by $ \mathrm{ord}(x) $. We consider a finite group $ G $ such that $ \gcd(\mathrm{ord}(x),\mathrm{ord}(y))\leqslant 2 $ for any two vanishing elements $ x $ and $…

We develop an elementary formula for certain non-trivial elements of upper cluster algebras. These elements have positive coefficients. We show that when the cluster algebra is acyclic these elements form a basis. Using this formula, we…

Let $G$ be a classical group defined over a finite field. We consider the following fundamental problems concerning conjugacy in $G$: 1. List a representative for each conjugacy class of $G$. 2. Given $x \in G$, describe the centralizer of…

We study general nilpotent algebras. The results obtained are new even for the classical algebras, such as associative or Lie algebras. We single out certain generic properties of finite-dimensional algebras, mostly over infinite fields.…

A connected component of an affine algebraic group is called periodic if all its elements have finite order. We give a characterization of periodic components in terms of automorphisms with finite number of fixed points. It is also…

For an arrangement with complement X and fundamental group G, we relate the truncated cohomology ring, H^{<=2}(X), to the second nilpotent quotient, G/G_3. We define invariants of G/G_3 by counting normal subgroups of a fixed prime index p,…

We prove that if $G$ is finite 2-generated $p$-group of nilpotence class at most 2 then the group algebra of $G$ with coefficients in the field with $p$ elements determines $G$ up to isomorphisms.
