A Hamiltonian density bounded from below implies that the lowest-energy state is stable. We point out, contrary to common lore, that an unbounded Hamiltonian density does not necessarily imply an instability: Stability is indeed a…

We prove a homological stabilization theorem for Hurwitz spaces: moduli spaces of branched covers of the complex projective line. This has the following arithmetic consequence: let l>2 be prime and A a finite abelian l-group. Then there…

We consider the $s$-fractional Klein-Gordon equation with space-dependent damping on $\mathbb{R}^d$. Recent studies reveal that the so-called geometric control conditions (GCC) are closely related to semigroup estimates of the equation.…

The centrepiece of this paper is a normal form for primitive elements which facilitates the use of induction arguments to prove properties of primitive elements. The normal form arises from an elementary algorithm for constructing a…

A 2-structure on a set $S$ is given by an equivalence relation on the set of ordered pairs of distinct elements of $S$. A subset $C$ of $S$, any two elements of which appear the same from the perspective of each element of the complement of…

We investigate the existence and stability of solitons in an optical waveguide equipped with a Bragg grating (BG) in which nonlinearity contains both cubic and quintic terms. The model has straightforward realizations in both temporal and…

A comma category, exemplified in algebraic geometry by coherent systems, combines two categories over a third through morphisms between their objects. We establish sufficient conditions for it to be abelian, compute its Grothendieck group,…

We conjecture that if $G$ is a finite primitive group and if $g$ is an element of $G$, then either the element $g$ has a cycle of length equal to its order, or for some $r,m$ and $k$, the group $G\leq S_m\wr S_r$, preserving a product…

Let $P_k$ be the subgroup generated by $k$th powers of primitive elements in $F_r$, the free group of rank $r$. We show that $F_2/P_k$ is finite if and only if $k$ is $1$, $2$, or $3$. We also fully characterize $F_2/P_k$ for $k = 2,3,4$.…

Let $q=p^k$ be a prime power, let $n\geq2$ be an integer and let $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ be a finite field. It is shown that the set of primitive normal elements is a Salem set. Furthermore, it is proved that this set is strongly equidistributed…

Primitive representations of finite groups as well as primitive finite groups were classified in the O'Nan-Scott Theorem. In this paper we classify faithful finite primitive semigroup representations. To each finite primitive…

For a quiver $Q$ of Dynkin type $\mathbb{A}_n$, we give a set of $n-1$ inequalities which are necessary and sufficient for a linear stability condition (a.k.a. central charge) $Z\colon K_0(Q) \to \mathbb{C}$ to make all indecomposable…

Let $q=p^k$ be a prime power, let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field and let $n\geq2$ be an integer. This note investigates the existence small primitive normal elements in finite field extensions $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$. It is shown that a small…

Let $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ be a finite field with $q^n$ elements and $r$ be a positive divisor of $q^n-1$. An element $\alpha \in \mathbb{F}_{q^n}^*$ is called $r$-primitive if its multiplicative order is $(q^n-1)/r$. Also, $\alpha \in…

In 1989, Dicks and Dunwoody proved the Almost Stability Theorem, which has among its corollaries the Stallings-Swan theorem that groups of cohomological dimension one are free. In this article, we use a nestedness result of Bergman,…

Let $G$ be a finite permutation group on $\Omega$. An ordered sequence of elements of $\Omega$, $(\omega_1,\dots, \omega_t)$, is an irredundant base for $G$ if the pointwise stabilizer $G_{(\omega_1,\dots, \omega_t)}$ is trivial and no…

We study the relation (and differences) between stability and Property (S) in the simple and stably finite framework. This leads us to characterize stable elements in terms of its support, and study these concepts from different sides :…

Global in time well-posedness of $H^2$ solutions and $z$-weak solutions of the 3D Primitive equations in a bounded cylindrical domain is proved. More specifically, uniform in time boundedness and bounded absorbing sets are obtained for both…

Two-dimensional quantum gravity is identified as a second-class system which we convert into a first-class system via the Batalin-Fradkin (BF) procedure. Using the extended phase space method, we then formulate the theory in most general…

In this paper we investigate the orbital stability of solitary waves to the (generalized) Kawahara equation (gKW) which is a fifth order dispersive equation. For some values of the power of the nonlinearity, we prove the orbital stability…
