Exceptional groups of type $E_6$ contain dual pairs where one member is $\mathrm{Spin}(8)$, and the other is $T\rtimes \mathbb Z/2\mathbb Z$, where $T$ is a two-dimensional torus and the non-trivial element in $\mathbb Z/2\mathbb Z$ acts on…
The Subgroup Isomorphism Problem for Integral Group Rings asks for which finite groups U it is true that if U is isomorphic to a subgroup of V(ZG), the group of normalized units of the integral group ring of the finite group G, it must be…
We show that every finite-dimensional pointed Hopf algebra over a finite simple Chevalley group, different from $PSL_2(q)$ with q= 3 mod 4 (and from $PSL_3(2)\simeq PSL_2(7)$), is isomorphic to the corresponding group algebra. To do this,…
We classify up to isomorphism all finite-dimensional Lie algebras that can be realised as Lie subalgebras of the complex Weyl algebra $A_1$. The list we obtain turns out to be discrete and for example, the only non-solvable Lie algebras…
For any subfield K of the complex numbers which is not contained in an imaginary quadratic number field, we construct conjugate varieties whose algebras of K-rational (p,p)-classes are not isomorphic. This compares to the Hodge conjecture…
A group $G$ is called subgroup conjugacy separable if for every pair of non-conjugate finitely generated subgroups of $G$, there exists a finite quotient of $G$ where the images of these subgroups are not conjugate. It is proved that the…
We prove that the only rational homogeneous varieties with Picard number 1 of the exceptional algebraic groups admitting irreducible equivariant Ulrich vector bundles are the Cayley plane $E_6/P_1$ and the $E_7$-adjoint variety $E_7/P_1$.…
This article is a continuation of the article with the same title (see arXiv:1003.2953v1). Let {\rm $\text{HUR}_{d,t}^{G}(\mathbb P^1)$} be the Hurwitz space of degree $d$ coverings of the projective line $\mathbb P^1$ with Galois group…
We construct explicit quantization of semisimple conjugacy classes of the complex orthogonal group SO(N) with non-Levi isotropy subgroups through an operator realization on highest weight modules of the quantum group U_q(so(N)).
As a contribution to an eventual solution of the problem of determination of the maximal subgroups of the Monster we show that there is a unique conjugacy class of subgroups isomorphic to $PSU_3(8)$. The argument depends on some…
Let BG be a classifying variety for an exceptional simple simply connected algebraic group G. We compute the degree 3 unramified Galois cohomology of BG with values in Q/Z(2) over an arbitrary field F. Combined with a paper by Merkurjev,…
A finite group $G$ is a "non-DCI group" if there exist subsets $S_1$ and $S_2$ of $G$, such that the associated Cayley digraphs $C\overrightarrow{ay}(G;S_1)$ and $C\overrightarrow{ay}(G;S_2)$ are isomorphic, but no automorphism of $G$…
We give infinitely many examples to show that even for simple groups $G$ it is possible for the lattice of overgroups of a subgroup $H$ to be the Boolean lattice of rank $2$, in such a way that the two maximal overgroups of $H$ are…
It is known that the second Leibniz homology group $HL_2(stl_n(R))$ of the Steinberg Leibniz algebra $stl_n(R)$ is trivial for $n\geq 5$. In this paper, we determine $HL_2(stl_n(R))$ explicitly (which are shown to be not necessarily…
We investigate Levi subgroups of a connected reductive algebraic group G, over a ground field K. We parametrize their conjugacy classes in terms of sets of simple roots and we prove that two Levi K-subgroups of G are rationally conjugate if…
Let G be an exceptional algebraic group defined over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p>0 and let H be a subgroup of G. Then following Serre we say H is G-completely reducible or G-cr if, whenever H is contained in a…
Let $Y$ be a smooth, projective curve of genus $g\geq 1$ over the complex numbers. Let $H^0_{d,A}(Y)$ be the Hurwitz space which parametrizes coverings $p:X \to Y$ of degree $d$, simply branched in $n=2e$ points, with monodromy group equal…
(1) Every infinite, Abelian compact (Hausdorff) group K admits 2^|K|-many dense, non-Haar-measurable subgroups of cardinality |K|. When K is nonmetrizable, these may be chosen to be pseudocompact. (2) Every infinite Abelian group G admits a…
We first show that every quasisimple sporadic group possesses an unmixed strongly real Beauville structure aside from the Mathieu groups M11 and M23 (and possibly 2B and M). We go on to show that no almost simple sporadic group possesses a…
We prove that every finitely generated soluble group which is not virtually abelian has a subgroup of one of a small number of types.
