A Hurwitz generating triple for a group $G$ is an ordered triple of elements $(x,y,z) \in G^3$ where $x^2=y^3=z^7=xyz=1$ and $\langle x,y,z \rangle = G$. For the finite quasisimple exceptional groups of types $F_4$, $E_6$, $^2E_6$, $E_7$…

We give a new computer-assisted proof of the classification of maximal subgroups of the simple group ${}^2E_6(2)$ and its extensions by any subgroup of the outer automorphism group $S_3$. This is not a new result, but no earlier proof…

We prove that two reflection factorizations of a given element in an exceptional rank-2 complex reflection group of tetrahedral type are Hurwitz-equivalent if and only if they generate the same subgroup and have the same multiset of…

We show that a group with a presentation satisfying the C(6) small cancellation condition cannot contain a subgroup isomorphic to F_2 X F_2.

We show that for non-conjugate subgroups $G_1$ and $G_2$ of a finite group $G$ there exists an extension of $G$ (by a finite group) in which the pre-images of $G_1$ and $G_2$ are not isomorphic. This allows us to show that $\mathbb Z$-coset…

It is proved that the commutator subgroup of the fundamental group of the complement of any plane affine irreducible Hurwitz curve (respectively, any plane affine irreducible pseudoholomorphic curve) is finitely presented. It is shown that…

A subgroup $H$ of a group $G$ is said to be pronormal in $G$ if $H$ and $H^g$ are conjugate in $\langle H, H^g \rangle$ for every $g \in G$. In this paper we classify finite simple groups $E_6(q)$ and ${}^2E_6(q)$ in which all the subgroups…

As is well-known, the compact groups Spin(7) and SO(7) both have a single conjugacy class of compact subgroups of exceptional type G_2. We first show that if H is a subgroup of Spin(7), and if each element of H is conjugate to some element…

We prove the conjugacy of Sylow $p$-subgroups of linear pseudofinite groups under the assumption of the existence of a finite Sylow $p$-subgroup. We also give an example of a linear pseudofinite group with non-conjugate Sylow $2$-subgroups.

We generalise the constructions of Brady and Lodha to give infinite families of hyperbolic groups, each having a finitely presented subgroup that is not of type $F_3$. By calculating the Euler characteristic of the hyperbolic groups…

We investigate a possible connection between the $FSZ$ properties of a group and its Sylow subgroups. We show that the simple groups $G_2(5)$ and $S_6(5)$, as well as all sporadic simple groups with order divisible by $5^6$ are not $FSZ$,…

We derive explicit isomorphisms between certain congruence subgroups of the Siegel modular group, the Hermitian modular group over an arbitrary imaginary-quadratic number field and the modular group over the Hurwitz quaternions of degree 2…

We study the class of all algebras that are isotopic to a Hurwitz algebra. Isomorphism classes of such algebras are shown to correspond to orbits of a certain group action. A complete, geometrically intuitive description of the category of…

We show that in the complex reflection group $G_6$, reflection factorizations of a Coxeter element that have the same length and multiset of conjugacy classes are in the same Hurwitz orbit. This confirms one case of a conjecture of Lewis…

A closed subgroup of a semisimple algebraic group is called irreducible if it lies in no proper parabolic subgroup. In this paper we classify all irreducible $A_1$ subgroups of exceptional algebraic groups $G$. Consequences are given…

We study the irreducible components of special loci of curves whose group of symmetries is given as certain group extension. We introduce some relative Hurwitz data, which we show by using mixed \'etale cohomology theory, identifies some…

We classify all pairs $(V,H)$, where $H$ is a proper subgroup of $G=Sp_6(q)$, $q$ even, and $V$ is an $\ell$-modular representation of $G$ for $\ell\neq 2$ which is absolutely irreducible as a representation of $H$. This problem is…

Let $G$ be a linear algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p\geq 0$. We show that if $H_1$ and $H_2$ are connected subgroups of $G$ such that $H_1$ and $H_2$ have a common maximal unipotent subgroup and…

We prove that the universal covering of an alternating group Alt(n) which is Hurwitz is still Hurwitz, with 31 exceptions, 30 of which are detectable by the genus formula.

We prove Howe duality for the theta correspondence arising from the $p$-adic dual pair $G_2 \times (\text{PU}_3 \rtimes \mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z})$ inside the adjoint quasi-split group of type $E_6$.
