We present a classification of finite $p$-groups $G$ with $\gamma_2(G)$, the commutator subgroup of $G$, of order $p^4$ and exponent $p$ such that not all elements of $\gamma_2(G)$ are commutators.

We prove that a closed subgroup $H$ of a second countable locally compact group $G$ is amenable if and only if its left regular representation on an Orlicz space $L^\Phi(G)$ for some $\Delta_2$-regular $N$-function $\Phi$ almost has…

Let $(W,S)$ be a Coxeter system with Davis complex $\Sigma$. The polyhedral automorphism group $G$ of $\Sigma$ is a locally compact group under the compact-open topology. If $G$ is a discrete group (as characterised by Haglund--Paulin),…

We give an arithmetic criterion which is sufficient to imply the discreteness of various two-generator subgroups of $PSL(2,{\bold C})$. We then examine certain two-generator groups which arise as extremals in various geometric problems in…

We describe all supergroups with the largest even supersubgroups being isomorphic to $\mathrm{GL}_2, \mathrm{SL}_2$ or $\mathrm{PSL}_2$. These results are applied to the description of centralizers of certain tori in the quasi-reductive…

In [Castillo \& Mbouna, Indag. Math. {\bf 31} (2020) 223-234], the concept of $\pi_N$-coherent pairs of order $(m,k)$ with index $M$ is introduced. This definition, implicitly related with the standard derivative operator, automatically…

For the p-adic group G=SL (2) , we present results of the computations of the sums of the Bernstein projectors of a given depth. Motivation for the computations is based on a conversation with Roger Howe in August 2013. The computations are…

Let n be a positive integer, F be a non-Archimedean locally compact field of odd residue characteristic p and G be an inner form of GL(2n,F). This is a group of the form GL(r,D) for a positive integer r and division F-algebra D of reduced…

Given two subgroups $H,K$ of a compact group $G$, the probability that a random element of $H$ commutes with a random element of $K$ is denoted by $Pr(H,K)$. We show that if $G$ is a profinite group containing a Sylow $2$-subgroup $P$, a…

Let $\Gamma$ be a countable discrete group, $H$ a lcsc totally disconnected group and $\rho : \Gamma \rightarrow H$ a homomorphism with dense image. We develop a general and explicit technique which provides, for every compact open subgroup…

Given a prime number $p$ and a positive integer $m$, we provide a family of diagonal hypersurfaces $\{ f_n \}_{n = 1}^{\infty}$ in $m$ variables, for which the denominator of $\text{ fpt } (f_{n})$ (in lowest terms) is always $p$ and whose…

Let SL(2, $\mathbb H$) be the group of $2 \times 2$ quaternionic matrices $A=\begin{pmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{pmatrix}$ with quaternionic determinant $\det A=|ad-aca^{-1} b|=1$. This group acts by the orientation-preserving isometries of…

We prove Cherlin's conjecture, concerning binary primitive permutation groups, for those groups with socle isomorphic to $\mathrm{PSL}_2(q)$, ${^2\mathrm{B}_2}(q)$, ${^2\mathrm{G}_2}(q)$ or $\mathrm{PSU}_3(q)$. Our method uses the notion of…

Let $H$ be a finite quasisimple classical group, i.e. $H$ is perfect and $S:=H/Z(H)$ is a finite simple classical group. We prove in this paper that, excluding the cases when the simple group $S$ has a very exceptional Schur multiplier such…

We prove a stability result for general $3$-wise correlations over distributions satisfying mild connectivity properties. More concretely, we show that if $\Sigma,\Gamma$ and $\Phi$ are alphabets of constant size, and $\mu$ is a pairwise…

We reduce a case of the hidden subgroup problem (HSP) in SL(2; q), PSL(2; q), and PGL(2; q), three related families of finite groups of Lie type, to efficiently solvable HSPs in the affine group AGL(1; q). These groups act on projective…

Let $G$ be a second-countable amenable group with a uniform $k$-approximate lattice $\Lambda$. For a projective discrete series representation $(\pi, \mathcal{H}_{\pi})$ of $G$ of formal degree $d_{\pi} > 0$, we show that $D^-(\Lambda) \geq…

Let $\sigma =\{\sigma_{i} | i\in I\}$ be some partition of the set of all primes $\Bbb{P}$ and $\Pi$ a non-empty subset of the set $\sigma$. A set ${\cal H}$ of subgroups of a finite group $G$ is said to be a \emph{ complete Hall $\Pi…

Let $F$ be a locally compact non-Archimedean field, and $\bf G$ a connected quasi-split reductive group over $F$. We are interested in complex irreducible smooth generic representations $\pi$ of ${\bf G}(F)$. When $F$ has positive…

Given a finite group $G$, let $\pi(G)$ denote the set of all primes that divide the order of $G$. For a prime $r \in \pi(G)$, we define $r$-singular elements as those elements of $G$ whose order is divisible by $r$. Denote by $S_r(G)$ the…
