The parity conjecture has a long and distinguished history. It gives a way of predicting the existence of points of infinite order on elliptic curves without having to construct them, and is responsible for a wide range of unexplained…

The class of finitely presented algebras over a field $K$ with a set of generators $a_{1},..., a_{n}$ and defined by homogeneous relations of the form $a_{1}a_{2}... a_{n} =a_{\sigma (a)} a_{\sigma (2)} ... a_{\sigma (n)}$, where $\sigma$…

We construct explicit geometric models for and compute the fundamental groups of all plane sextics with simple singularities only and with at least one type $\bold E_8$ singular point. In particular, we discover four new sextics with…

We find all irreducible hypergeometric sheaves whose geometric monodromy group is finite, almost quasisimple and has the projective special linear group $PSL_n(q)$ with $n\geq 3$ as a composition factor. We use the classification of…

This is the first of a series of papers in which we initiate and develop the theory of reflection monoids, motivated by the theory of reflection groups. The main results identify a number of important inverse semigroups as reflection…

What are simplest ways to construct a finite group from its atomic constituents? To understand part-whole relations between finite simple groups and the global structure of finite groups, we axiomatize complexity measures on finite groups.…

Classical limits of quantum groups give rise to multiplicative Poisson structures such as Poisson-Lie and quasi-Poisson structures. We relate them to the notion of a shifted Poisson structure which gives a conceptual framework for…

Dyson's (1962) classification of matrix ensembles is reviewed from a modern perspective, and its recent extension to disordered fermion problems is motivated and described. It is explained in particular why symmetry classes are associated…

We reconsider the geometry of pure and mixed states in a finite quantum system. The rangesof eigenvalues of the density matrices delimit a regular simplex (Hypertetrahedron TN) in any dimension N; the polytope isometry group is the…

We summarize several results about non-simplicity, solvability and normal structure of finite groups related to the number of conjugacy classes appearing in the product or the power of conjugacy classes. We also collect some problems that…

To each supersimple $2-(n,4,\lambda)$ design $\mathcal{D}$ one associates a `Conway groupoid,' which may be thought of as a natural generalisation of Conway's Mathieu groupoid associated to $M_{13}$ which is constructed from $\mathbb{P}_3$.…

In a classical case, orthogonal polynomial sequences are in such a way that the $ n $th polynomial has the exact degree $n$. Such sequences are complete and form a basis of the space for any arbitrary polynomial. In this paper, we introduce…

We obtain explicit formulas for the number of non-isomorphic elliptic curves with a given group structure (considered as an abstract abelian group). Moreover, we give explicit formulas for the number of distinct group structures of all…

We continue the investigation, that began in [3] and [4], into finite groups whose set of nontrivial conjugacy class sizes form an arithmetic progression. Let $G$ be a finite group and denote the set of conjugacy class sizes of $G$ by ${\rm…

In a previous paper, one of us pointed out that the anomalous dimension matrices for all physical processes that have been calculated to date are complex symmetric, if stated in an orthonormal basis. In this paper we prove this fact and…

We show that every finitely generated residually finite torsion group $G$ embeds in a finitely generated torsion group $\Gamma$ that is residually finite simple. In particular we show the existence of finitely generated infinite torsion…

As a consequence of the classification of finite simple groups, the classification of permutation groups of prime degree is complete, apart from the question of when the natural degree $(q^n-1)/(q-1)$ of ${\rm L}_n(q)$ is prime. We present…

We study Farrell Nil-groups associated to a finite order automorphism of a ring $R$. We show that any such Farrell Nil-group is either trivial, or infinitely generated (as an abelian group). Building on this first result, we then show that…

Quarks and leptons, the fundamental building blocks of the subatomic world, manifest in three families - replicas with identical quantum numbers that differ only in their masses. After revisiting the key milestones that led to the discovery…

We introduce a new family of finite posets which we call 2-chains. These first arose in the study of 0-Hecke algebras, but they admit a variety of different characterisations. We give these characterisations, prove that they are equivalent…
