In this monograph, we give an account of the relationship between the algebraic structure of finitely generated and countable groups and the regularity with which they act on manifolds. We concentrate on the case of one--dimensional…

We provide the set of filters (saturated submonoids) in a commutative monoid with a topology (like the spectrum of a ring) and study the resulting spaces.

Let $\Sigma$ be a surface with negative Euler characteristic, genus at least one and at most one boundary component. We prove that the skein algebra of $\Sigma$ over the field of rational functions can be algebraically generated by a finite…

For the family of the orthogonal quantum matrix algebras we investigate the structure of their characteristic subalgebras -- special commutative subalgebras, which for the subfamily of the reflection equation algebras appear to be central.…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and let $M$ be an $R$-module which is generated by $\mu$ elements but not fewer. We denote by $\operatorname{SL}_n(R)$ the group of the $n \times n$ matrices over $R$ with determinant $1$. We…

The spectral test of random number generators (R.R. Coveyou and R.D. McPherson, 1967) is generalized. The sequence of random numbers is analyzed explicitly not just via their n-tupel distributions. The generalized analysis of many…

The strong symmetric genus of a finite group is the minimum genus of a compact Riemann surface on which the group acts as a group of automorphisms preserving orientation. A characterization of the infinite number of groups with strong…

We give deterministic polynomial-time algorithms that, given an order, compute the primitive idempotents and determine a set of generators for the group of roots of unity in the order. Also, we show that the discrete logarithm problem in…

We study glued tensor and free products of compact matrix quantum groups with cyclic groups -- so-called tensor and free complexifications. We characterize them by studying their representation categories and algebraic relations. In…

We investigate a generalization of stacks that we call $\mathcal{C}$-machines. We show how this viewpoint rapidly leads to functional equations for the classes of permutations that $\mathcal{C}$-machines generate, and how these systems of…

We generalize an algorithm established in earlier work \cite{algebrapaper} to compute finitely many generators for a subgroup of finite index of an arithmetic group acting properly discontinuously on hyperbolic space of dimension $2$ and…

Based on the revealed hidden supergroup structure, we develop a new approach to the Hubbard model. We reveal a relation of even Hubbard operators to the spinor representation of the generators of the rotation group of four-dimensional…

Several musical scales, like the major scale, can be described as finite arithmetic sequences modulo octave, i.e. chunks of an arithmetic sequence in a cyclic group. Hence the question of how many different arithmetic sequences in a cyclic…

This expository article revolves around the question to find short presentations of finite simple groups. This subject is one of the most active research areas of group theory in recent times. We bring together several known results on…

We give two explicit sets of generators of the group of invertible regular functions over QQ on the modular curve Y1(N). The first set of generators is very surprising. It is essentially the set of defining equations of Y1(k) for k <= N/2…

We study the synchronous and asynchronous automatic structures on the fundamental group of a graph of groups in which each edge group is finite. Up to a natural equivalence relation, the set of biautomatic structures on such a graph product…

We give a presentation by generators and relations of the group $U_4(\mathbb{Z}[1/\sqrt{2},i])$ of unitary $4\times 4$ matrices with entries in the ring $\mathbb{Z}[1/\sqrt{2},i]$. This is motivated by the problem of exact synthesis for the…

We investigate the structure of graded commutative exponential functors. We give applications of these structure results, including computations of the homology of the symmetric groups and of extensions in the category of strict polynomial…

We consider a class of block operator matrices arising in the study of scattering passive systems, especially in the context of boundary control problems. We prove that these block operator matrices are indeed a subclass of block operator…

We present an exposition of our ongoing project in a new area of applicable mathematics: practical computation with finitely generated linear groups over infinite fields. Methodology and algorithms available for practical computation in…
