In this paper, all finite groups whose commuting (non-commuting) graphs can be embed on the plane, torus or projective plane are classified.
We classify non-complete prime valency graphs satisfying the property that their automorphism group is transitive on both the set of arcs and the set of $2$-geodesics. We prove that either $\Gamma$ is 2-arc transitive or the valency $p$…
Let $\Gamma$ be a finite, undirected, connected, simple graph. We say that a matching $\mathcal{M}$ is a \textit{permutable $m$-matching} if $\mathcal{M}$ contains $m$ edges and the subgroup of $\text{Aut}(\Gamma)$ that fixes the matching…
Consider a discrete valuation ring $R$ whose residue field is finite of cardinality at least $3$. For a finite torsion module, we consider transitive subsets $O$ under the action of the automorphism group of the module. We prove that the…
Recently, Korkmaz established the lower bound of $3g - 2$ for the dimension of a faithful representation of the mapping class group of an orientable surface of genus $g \ge 3$. We raise this bound to $4g - 3$ in the setting of surfaces of…
In this paper we give a non-computer-assisted proof of the following result: if $G$ is an even transitive group of degree $11$ and has a string C-group representation with rank $r\in\{4,5\}$ then $G\cong\PSL_2(11)$. Moreover this string…
In this paper we analyze the structure of transitive permutation groups that have trivial four point stabilizers, but some nontrivial three point stabilizer. In particular we give a complete, detailed classification when the group is simple…
We describe all irreducible conformal subalgebras of Cend_N. The classification of simple and semisimple associative conformal algebras with finite faithful representation follows from this description.
We present a characterization of finite permutation groups which contain a transitive dihedral subgroup.
We describe birational representations of discrete groups generated by involutions, having their origin in the theory of exactly solvable vertex-models in lattice statistical mechanics. These involutions correspond respectively to two kinds…
A regular cover of a connected graph is called {\em cyclic} or {\em dihedral} if its transformation group is cyclic or dihedral respectively, and {\em arc-transitive} (or {\em symmetric}) if the fibre-preserving automorphism subgroup acts…
In this paper, a complete classification of finite simple cubic vertex-transitive graphs of girth $6$ is obtained. It is proved that every such graph, with the exception of the Desargues graph on $20$ vertices, is either a skeleton of a…
We classify all the $2$-arc-transitive strongly regular graphs, and use this classification to study the family of finite $(G,3)$-geodesic-transitive graphs of girth $4$ or $5$ for some group $G$ of automorphisms. For this application we…
While every group is isomorphic to a transitive group of permutations, the analogous property fails for inverse semigroups: not all inverse semigroups are isomorphic to transitive inverse semigroups of one-to-one partial transformations of…
The set of morphisms mapping any Sturmian sequence to a Sturmian sequence forms together with composition the so-called monoid of Sturm. For this monoid, we defne a faithful representation by $(3\times 3)$-matrices with integer entries. We…
In this article we calculate the minimal faithful permutation degree for all of the irreducible Coxeter groups. We also exhibit new examples of finite groups that possess a quotient whose minimal degree is strictly greater than that of the…
A triangle group is denoted by $\Delta(p,q,r)$ and has finite presentation $$ \Delta(p,q,r)=\langle x,y | x^p=y^q=(xy)^r=1 \rangle .$$ We examine a method for composition of permutation representations of a triangle group $\Delta(p,q,r)$…
It is known that there are precisely three transitive permutation groups of degree $6$ that admit an invariant partition with three parts of size $2$ such that the kernel of the action on the parts has order $4$; these groups are called…
Generalising a conjecture of Singerman, it is shown that there exist orientably regular chiral hypermaps of every non-spherical type. The proof uses the representation theory of automorphism groups acting on homology and on various spaces…
A map $X$ on a surface is called vertex-transitive if the automorphism group of $X$ acts transitively on the set of vertices of $X$. If the face-cycles at all the vertices in a map are of same type then the map is called semi-equivelar. In…
