We introduce two families of two-generator one-relator groups called primitive extension groups and show that a one-relator group is hyperbolic if its primitive extension subgroups are hyperbolic. This reduces the problem of characterising…

Let $X$ be a compact Riemann surface of genus $g\geq 2$. Let $Aut(X)$ be its group of automorphisms and $G\subseteq Aut(X)$ a subgroup. Sharp upper bounds for $|G|$ in terms of $g$ are known if $G$ belongs to certain classes of groups, e.g.…

We prove several results on products of conjugacy classes in finite simple groups. The first result is that there always exists a uniform generating triple. This result and other ideas are used to solve a 1966 conjecture of Peter Neumann…

Let $p$ be a prime number and $\Bbbk=\bar{\mathbb{F}}_p$, the algebraic closure of the finite field $\mathbb{F}_p$ of $p$ elements. Let ${\bf G}$ be a connected reductive group defined over $\mathbb{F}_p$ and ${\bf B}$ be a Borel subgroup…

Let $m\geq 3$ be a positive integer. We prove that there are uncountably many non-commensurable metabelian uniform pro-$p$ groups of dimension $m$. Consequently, there are uncountably many non-commensurable finitely presented pro-$p$ groups…

We give bounds on the degree of generators for the ideal of relations of the graded algebras of modular forms with coefficients in $\mathbb{Q}$ over congruence subgroups $\Gamma_0(N)$ for $N$ satisfying some congruence conditions and for…

In January 1969, Peter M. Neumann wrote a paper entitled "Primitive permutation groups of degree 3p". The main theorem placed restrictions on the parameters of a primitive but not 2-transitive permutation group of degree three times a…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite group and $V$ a finite-dimensional $\Gamma$-graded space over an algebraically closed field of characteristic not equal to 2. In the sense of conjugation, we classify all the so-called pre-nil or nil maximal abelian…

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $K$ of characteristic $p > 0$. We consider connected reductive subgroups $X$ of $G$ that contain a given distinguished unipotent element $u$ of $G$. A result of…

We classify irreducible representations of the special linear groups in positive characteristic with small weight multiplicities with respect to the group rank and give estimates for the maximal weight multiplicities. For the natural…

Maximal connected grading classes of a finite-dimensional algebra $A$ are in one-to-one correspondence with Galois covering classes of $A$ which admit no proper Galois covering and therefore are key in computing the intrinsic fundamental…

This report aims at giving a general overview on the classification of the maximal subgroups of compact Lie groups (not necessarily connected). In the first part, it is shown that these fall naturally into three types: (1) those of trivial…

Let $p_1=2, p_2=3, p_3=5, \ldots$ be the consecutive prime numbers, $S_n$ the numerical semigroup generated by the primes not less than $p_n$ and $u_n$ the largest irredundant generator of $S_n$. We will show, that $\bullet$ $u_n\sim3p_n$.…

Given an imaginary quadratic extension $K$ of $\mathbb Q$, we classify the maximal nonelementary subgroups of the Picard modular group $\operatorname{PU}(1,2;\mathcal O_K)$ preserving a totally real totally geodesic plane in the complex…

The mapping class group $\Gamma$ of the complement of a Cantor set in the plane arises naturally in dynamics. We show that the ray graph, which is the analog of the complex of curves for this surface of infinite type, has infinite diameter…

A Poisson geometry arising from maximal commutative subalgebras is studied. A spectral sequence convergent to Hochschild homology with coefficients in a bimodule is presented. It depends on the choice of a maximal commutative subalgebra…

We prove for non-elementary torsion-free hyperbolic groups $\Gamma$ and all $r\ge 2$ that the higher topological complexity ${\sf{TC}}_r(\Gamma)$ is equal to $r\cdot \mathrm{cd}(\Gamma)$. In particular, hyperbolic groups satisfy the…

The set $A$ is an asymptotic nonbasis of order $h$ for an additive abelian group $X$ if there are infinitely many elements of $X$ not in the $h$-fold sumset $hA$. For all $h \geq 2$, this paper constructs new classes of asymptotic nonbases…

For an $(n-1)$-Auslander algebra $\Lambda$ with global dimension $n$, we give some necessary conditions for $\Lambda$ admitting a maximal $(n-1)$-orthogonal subcategory in terms of the properties of simple $\Lambda$-modules with projective…

We develop methods to control the first-order theory of groups arising as certain direct limits of torsion-free hyperbolic groups, answering several questions in the literature. We construct simple torsion-free Tarski monsters $\Gamma$…
