Higher-dimensional Thompson's groups nV are finitely presented groups described by Brin which generalize dyadic self-maps of the unit interval to dyadic self-maps of n-dimensional unit cubes. We describe some of the metric properties of…

This Thesis presents a 2-dimensional generalization of Houghtons' groups H_n. H_n is defined to be the group of all permutations p of a disjoint union of copies of the natural numbers N, with the property that each copy of N contains a…

We compare three approaches to the notion of conjugacy for semigroups, the first one via the transitive closure of the $uv\sim vu$ relation, the second one via an action of inverse semigroups on themselves by partial transformations, and…

For each finite classical group $G$, we classify the subgroups of $G$ which act transitively on a $G$-invariant set of subspaces of the natural module, where the subspaces are either totally isotropic or nondegenerate. Our proof uses the…

We consider the self-similar structure of the class of generalized Cantor sets $$\Gamma_{\mathcal{D}}=\Big\{\sum_{n=1}^\infty d_n\beta^{n}: d_n\in D_n, n\ge 1\Big\},$$ where $0<\beta<1$ and $D_n, n\ge 1,$ are nonempty and finite subsets of…

We introduce a notion of ``$n$-dual'' to a simplicial vector space for $n\ge 0$. Coming with it, there is a canonical pairing, which we show to be non-degenerate up to homotopy for homotopy $n$-types. As a result this notion of duality is…

When n is odd, consider the finite general linear and unitary groups of rank n, extended by the inverse transpose automorphism. There are elements in the extended groups which square to a regular unipotent element, and we evaluate the…

Every saturated fusion system corresponds to a group-like structure called a regular locality. In this paper we study (suitably defined) normalizers and centralizers of partial subnormal subgroups of regular localities. This leads to a…

The purpose of this paper is to extend the Donaldson-Corlette theorem to the case of vector bundles over cell complexes. We define the notion of a vector bundle and a Higgs bundle over a complex, and describe the associated Betti, de Rham…

An algebra $V$ with a cross product $\times$ has dimension 3 or 7. In this work, we use 3-tangles to describe, and provide a basis for, the space of homomorphisms from $V^{\otimes n}$ to $V^{\otimes m}$ that are invariant under the action…

A new generalization of Grassmannians, called {\nu}-grassmannians, and a canonical super vector bundle over this new space, say {\Gamma}, are introduced. Then, constructing a Gauss supermap of a super vector bundle, the universal property…

We consider generalisations of Thompson's group $V$, denoted by $V_r(\Sigma)$, which also include the groups of Higman, Stein and Brin. It was shown by the authors in [20] that under some mild conditions these groups and centralisers of…

In the quest in constructing conformal field theories (CFT) Jones has discovered a beautiful and deep connection between CFT, Richard Thompson's groups and knot theory. This led to a powerful functorial framework for constructing actions of…

We establish, for the character table of the symmetric group, the positivity of the row sums indexed by irreducible characters, when restricted to various subsets of the conjugacy classes. A notable example is that of partitions with all…

We determine when two almost automorphisms of a regular tree are conjugate. This is done by combining the classification of conjugacy classes in the automorphism group of a level-homogeneous tree by Gawron, Nekrashevych and Sushchansky and…

We study the space of vector-valued (twisted) conjugate invariant functions on a connected reductive group.

We show that the CPT groups of QED emerge naturally from the PT and P (or T) subgroups of the Lorentz group. We also find relationships between these discrete groups and continuous groups, like the connected Lorentz and Poincar\'e groups…

We study topological properties of conjugacy classes in Polish groups, with emphasis on automorphism groups of homogeneous countable structures. We first consider the existence of dense conjugacy classes (the topological Rokhlin property).…

Tensor transpose is a higher order generalization of matrix transpose. In this paper, we use permutations and symmetry group to define? the tensor transpose. Then we discuss the classification and composition of tensor transposes.…

We study the trace set of the commutator subgroup of $\Gamma(2),$ a type of Local-Global problem about thin groups. We determine the local obstructions and then use the correspondence between binary quadratic forms and hyperbolic matrices…
