We determine all finite primitive groups that are automorphism groups of edge-transitive hypergraphs. This gives an answer to a problem proposed by Babai and Cameron
This survey studies pairs $(G,\mathcal{P})$ with $G$ a finitely generated group and $\mathcal{P}$ a (finite) collection of subgroups of $G$. We explore the notion of quasi-isometry of such pairs and the notion of a qi-characteristic…
In the late 19th century, Klein inaugurated a program for describing the finite subgroups of $PGL_2(k)$ by treating the case in which the field $k$ is the complex numbers. Gierster and Moore extended Klein's arguments to deal with finite…
Schur rings are a type of subring of the group ring that is spanned by a partition of the group that meets certain conditions. Past literature has exclusively focused on the finite group case. This paper extends many classic results about…
The Prime Graph Question for integral group rings asks if it is true that if the normalized unit group of the integral group ring of a finite group $G$ contains an element of order $pq$, for some primes $p$ and $q$, also $G$ contains an…
We give an algorithm to determine finitely many generators for a subgroup of finite index in the unit group of an integral group ring $\mathbb{Z} G$ of a finite nilpotent group $G$, this provided the rational group algebra $\mathbb{Q} G$…
In this article, we introduce the study of a class of finite groups $G$ which admits a subgroup which intersects all non-trivial subgroups of $G$. We also explore a subclass of it consisting of all groups $G$ in which the prime order…
Let G < SL(V) be a finite group, V is finite dimensional over a field F, p=char F and S(V) is the symmetric algebra of V. We determine when the subring of G-invariants S(V)^G is a polynomial ring. As a consequence, we classify, if F is…
For the first time we represent every finite group in the form of a graph in this book. The authors choose to call these graphs as identity graph, since the main role in obtaining the graph is played by the identity element of the group.…
A conjecture of Boone and Higman from the 1970's asserts that a finitely generated group $G$ has solvable word problem if and only if $G$ can be embedded into a finitely presented simple group. We comment on the history of this conjecture…
Whereas for a substantial part, Finite Geometry during the past 50 years has focussed on geometries over finite fields, geometries over finite rings that are not division rings have got less attention. Nevertheless, several important…
This is a survey on the automorphism groups in various classes of affine algebraic surfaces and the algebraic group actions on such surfaces. Being infinite-dimensional, these automorphism groups share some important features of algebraic…
This is an extended version of summary of the talk at the International Conference on Group Theory in honor of Victor Mazurov on the occasion of his 80th birthday. The concise version of this report can be found in the talks and…
Considering a compact Riemann surface of genus greater than two, a Higgs~bundle is a pair composed of a holomorphic bundle over the Riemann surface, joint with an auxiliar vector field, so-called Higgs field. This theory started around…
We prove that if $G$ is a finite simple group which is the unit group of a ring, then $G$ is isomorphic to either (a) a cyclic group of order 2; (b) a cyclic group of prime order $2^k -1$ for some $k$; or (c) a projective special linear…
The question of computing the group complexity of finite semigroups and automata was first posed in K. Krohn and J. Rhodes, \textit{Complexity of finite semigroups}, Annals of Mathematics (2) \textbf{88} (1968), 128--160, motivated by the…
In the 1980's Stallings showed that every finitely generated subgroup of a free group is canonically represented by a finite minimal immersion of a bouquet of circles. In terms of the theory of automata, this is a minimal finite inverse…
Finite $p$-groups with a unique $\mathcal{A}_2$-subgroup are classified up to isomorphism. A problem proposed by Berkovich and Janko is solved.
The problem of describing the invariance groups of unordered relations, called briefly \emph{relation groups}, goes back to classical work by H. Wielandt. In general, the problem turned out to be hard, and so far it has been settled only…
We will explore the nature of when certain finite groups have an equal covering, and when finite groups do not. Not to be confused with the concept of a cover group, a covering of a group is a collection of proper subgroups whose…
