Let $K$ be any field and $G$ be a finite group. Let $G$ act on the rational function field $K(x_g: \ g \in G)$ by $K$-automorphisms defined by $g \cdot x_h=x_{gh}$ for any $g, \ h \in G$. Denote by $K(G)$ the fixed field $K(x_g: \ g \in…

Given word on $n$ letters, we study groups which satisfiy "iterated identity" $w$, meaning that for all $x_1, \dots, x_n$ there exists $m$ such that $m$-the iteration of $w$ of Engel type, applied to $x_1, \dots, x_n$, is equal to the…

In this paper we prove that for each dimension $n$ there are only finitely many isomorphism classes of pairs of groups $(\Gamma,\mathrm{N})$ such that $\Gamma$ is an $n$-dimensional crystallographic group and $\mathrm{N}$ is a normal…

We discuss the notion of essential dimension of a finite group and explain its relation with birational algebraic geometry. We show how this leads to a (partial) classification of simple finite groups of essential dimension less than or…

In this paper, we introduce the concept of graded extension dimension for a group graded ring R, denoted by gr.ext.dim(R). We prove that when R is strongly graded, its graded extension dimension coincides with the non-graded extension…

Inspired by the construction of the Cuntz semigroup for a C*-algebra, we introduce the matrix Malcolmson semigroup and the finitely presented module Malcolmson semigroup for a unital ring. These two semigroups are shown to have isomorphic…

A \textit{geometric realization} of an abstract polyhedron $\mathcal{P}$ is a mapping $\rho : \mathcal{P} \to \mathbb{E}^3$ that sends an $i$-face to an open set of dimension $i$. This work adapts a method based on Wythoff construction to…

We study properly discontinuous and cocompact actions of a discrete subgroup $\Gamma$ of an algebraic group $G$ on a contractible algebraic manifold $X$. We suppose that this action comes from an algebraic action of $G$ on $X$ such that a…

This paper has two main parts. In the first part we develop an elementary coordinatization for any nilpotent group $G$ taking exponents in a binomial principal ideal domain (PID) $A$. In case that the additive group $A^+$ of $A$ is finitely…

We study the geometry of compact geodesic spaces with trivial first Betti number admitting large finite groups of isometries. We show that if a finite group $G$ acts by isometries on a compact geodesic space $X$ whose first Betti number…

Let $A$ be a commutative Noetherian ring, and let $R = A[X]$ be the polynomial ring in an infinite collection $X$ of indeterminates over $A$. Let ${\mathfrak S}_{X}$ be the group of permutations of $X$. The group ${\mathfrak S}_{X}$ acts on…

Let $k$ be a field, and suppose that $\Gamma$ is a smooth $k$-group that acts on a connected, reductive $k$-group $\widetilde G$. Let $G$ denote the maximal smooth, connected subgroup of the group of $\Gamma$-fixed points in $\widetilde G$.…

The study of invariants of group actions on commutative polynomial rings has motivated many developments in commutative algebra and algebraic geometry. It has been of particular interest to understand what conditions on the group result in…

Let $G$ be a complex reductive group and $P$ be a parabolic subgroup of $G$. In this paper the authors address questions involving the realization of the $G$-module of the global sections of the (twisted) cotangent bundle over the flag…

Let G be a finite group acting orthogonally on a pair (S^d,\Gamma) where \Gamma is a finite, connected graph of genus g>1 embedded in the sphere S^d. The 3-dimensional case d=3 has recently been considered in a paper by C. Wang, S. Wang, Y.…

We perform the complete symmetry classification of the Klein-Gordon equation in maximal symmetric spacetimes. The central idea is to find all possible potential functions $V(t,x,y)$ that admit Lie and Noether symmetries. This is done by…

In this paper we show that for a torsion-free abelian group $G$, $\operatorname{rank}_\mathbb{Z}G<\infty$ if and only if there exists a Noetherian $G$-graded ring $R$ such that the set $\{R_g \neq 0\}$ generates the group $G$. For every $G$…

A finitely generated group $\Gamma$ is called strongly scale-invariant if there exists an injective endomorphism $\varphi: \Gamma \to \Gamma$ with the image $\varphi(\Gamma)$ of finite index in $\Gamma$ and the subgroup $\displaystyle…

Let $A$ be a (left and right) Noetherian ring that is semiperfect. Let $e$ be an idempotent of $A$ and consider the ring $\Gamma:=(1-e)A(1-e)$ and the semi-simple right $A$-module $S_e : = eA/e{\rm rad}A$. In this paper, we investigate the…

A topological group $G$ is called extremely amenable if every continuous action of $G$ on a compact space has a fixed point. This concept is linked with geometry of high dimensions (concentration of measure). We show that a von Neumann…
