We present simple, geometric constructions for small regular graphs of girth 7 from the incidence graphs of some generalized quadrangles. We obtain infinite families of (q-1)-regular, q-regular and (q + 1)-regular graphs of girth 7, for q a…

Let $G$ be a simple complex classical group and $\g$ its Lie algebra. Let $\U_\hbar(\g)$ be the Drinfeld-Jimbo quantization of the universal enveloping algebra $\U(\g)$. We construct an explicit $\U_\hbar(\g)$-equivariant quantization of…

Let $N(G)$ be the set of conjugacy classes sizes of $G$. We prove that if $N(G)=\Omega\times \{1,n\}$ for specific set $\Omega$ of integers, then $G\simeq A\times B$ where $N(A)=\Omega$, $N(B)=\{1,n\}$, and $n$ is a power of prime.

Let G be a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field k. We classify the spherical conjugacy classes of G.

We consider perfect 1-error correcting codes over a finite field with $q$ elements (briefly $q$-ary 1-perfect codes). In this paper, a generalized concatenation construction for $q$-ary 1-perfect codes is presented that allows us to…

We classify twisted conjugacy classes in loop groups, restricted to classical groups. The main tool we used is the so-called D_q module, an object which is related to vector bundles over elliptic curves.

Using combinatorial techniques, we answer two questions about simple classical Lie groups. Define $N(G,m)$ to be the number of conjugacy classes of elements of finite order $m$ in a Lie group $G$, and $N(G,m,s)$ to be the number of such…

Let $G$ be a closed highly homogeneous subgroup of $S_{\infty}$ not involving circular orderings. We show that the closure of a conjugacy class from $G$ contains a conjugacy class which is comeagre in it. Furthermore, we show that the…

This paper is devoted to the theory of $GL_n({\mathbb Z})$-conjugacy classes of regular integer $n\times n$ matrices. Such a matrix is $GL_n({\mathbb Q})$-conjugate to the companion matrix of its characteristic polynomial. But the set of…

We study conjugacy closed loops (CC-loops) and power-associative CC-loops (PACC-loops). If $Q$ is a PACC-loop with nucleus $N$, then $Q/N$ is an abelian group of exponent 12; if in addition $Q$ is finite, then $|Q|$ is divisible by 16 or by…

We study closures of conjugacy classes in the symmetric matrices of the orthogonal group and we determine which one are normal varieties. In contrast to the result for the symplectic group where all classes have normal closure, there is…

We compute conjugacy classes in maximal parabolic subgroups of the general linear group. This computation proceeds by reducing to a ``matrix problem''. Such problems involve finding normal forms for matrices under a specified set of row and…

We show how to construct all the extensions of left braces by ideals with trivial structure. This is useful to find new examples of left braces. But, to do so, we must know the basic blocks for extensions: the left braces with no ideals…

Let $G$ be a finite group, and let $\Delta(G)$ be the prime graph built on its set of conjugacy class sizes: this is the (simple undirected) graph whose vertices are the prime numbers dividing some conjugacy class size of $G$, and two…

We prove that Ad-semisimple conjugacy classes in a connected Lie group $G$ are closed embedded submanifolds of $G$. We also prove that if $\alpha:H\to G$ is a homomorphism of connected Lie groups such that the kernel of $\alpha$ is discrete…

In this note, we describe a procedure to construct generalized complex structures with an arbitrarily large number of type change loci on products of the circle with a connected sum of closed 3-manifolds. The loci need not be isotopic.

Letting tau denote the inverse transpose automorphism of GL(n,q), a formula is obtained for the number of g in GL(n,q) so that gg^{tau} is equal to a given element h. This generalizes a result of Gow and Macdonald for the special case that…

A new general formula for the number of conjugacy classes of subgroups of given index in a finitely generated group is obtained.

The conjugacy problem belongs to algorithmic group theory. It is the following question: given two words x, y over generators of a fixed group G, decide whether x and y are conjugated, i.e., whether there exists some z such that zxz^{-1} =…

The generalized order $e_G(g)$ of an element $g$ of a group $G$ is the smallest positive integer $k$ such that there exist $x_1,\ldots,x_k \in G$ such that $g^{x_1} \ldots g^{x_k}=1$, where $g^x=x^{-1}gx$. Let $e(G) = \max \{e_G(g)\ |\ g…
