Delta finite-type invariants are defined analogously to finite-type invariants, using delta moves instead of crossing changes. We show that they are closely related to the lower central series of the commutator subgroup of the pure braid…

The famous Burnside-Schur theorem states that every primitive finite permutation group containing a regular cyclic subgroup is either 2-transitive or isomorphic to a subgroup of a 1-dimensional affine group of prime degree. It is known that…

We develop the representation theory of a finite semigroup over an arbitrary commutative semiring with unit, in particular classifying the irreducible and minimal representations. The results for an arbitrary semiring are as good as the…

Let $G$ be a transitive permutation group of degree $n$ with point stabiliser $H$ and let $r$ be a prime divisor of $n$. We say that $G$ is $r$-elusive if it does not contain a derangement of order $r$. The problem of determining the…

In this paper some properties of the $\mathfrak{F}^*$-hypercenter of a finite group are studied where $\mathfrak{F}^*$ is the class of all finite quasi-$\mathfrak{F}$-groups for a hereditary saturated formation $\mathfrak{F}$ of finite…

Let $G$ be a finite primitive permutation group on a set $\Omega$ with nontrivial point stabilizer $G_{\alpha}$. We say that $G$ is extremely primitive if $G_{\alpha}$ acts primitively on each of its orbits in $\Omega \setminus \{\alpha\}$.…

We study permutation groups of given minimal degree without the classical primitivity assumption. We provide sharp upper bounds on the order of a permutation group of minimal degree m and on the number of its elements of any given support.…

In these notes we briefly consider various situations related to infinite commutative semigroups, connected to convolutions and Fourier transforms.

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 that an infinite family of semiprimitive groups are graph-restrictive. This adds to the evidence for the validity of the PSV Conjecture and increases the minimal imprimitive degree for which this conjecture is open to 12. Our…

In 1995 Grillet introduced the concept of a stratified semigroup as a kind of generalisation of finite nilsemigroups. We extend these ideas here by allowing a more general Base and describe them in terms of extensions of semigroups by…

Let $\frak{F}$ be a class of finite groups. A subgroup $H$ of a finite group $G$ is said to be $\mathfrak{F_{\mathrm s}}$-quasinormal in $G$ if there exists a normal subgroup $T$ of $G$ such that $HT$ is $s$-permutable in $G$ and $(H\cap…

The class of finitely presented algebras over a field $K$ with a set of generators $a_{1},..., a_{n}$ and defined by homogeneous relations of the form $a_{1}a_{2}... a_{n} =a_{\sigma (a)} a_{\sigma (2)} ... a_{\sigma (n)}$, where $\sigma$…

Let $G = X \wr H$ be the wreath product of a nontrivial finite group $X$ with $k$ conjugacy classes and a transitive permutation group $H$ of degree $n$ acting on the set of $n$ direct factors of $X^n$. If $H$ is semiprimitive, then $k(G)…

We study vertex-quasiprimitive $2$-arc-transitive digraphs, reducing the problem of vertex-primitive $2$-arc-transitive digraphs to almost simple groups. This includes a complete classification of vertex-quasiprimitive $2$-arc-transitive…

We study a class $\mathfrak{M}$ of cyclically presented groups that includes both finite and infinite groups and is defined by a certain combinatorial condition on the defining relations. This class includes many finite metacyclic…

We consider compact matrix quantum groups whose fundamental corepresentation matrix has entries which are partial isometries with central support. We show that such quantum groups have a simple representation as semi-direct product quantum…

We classify all finite groups with five relative commutativity degrees. Also, we give a partial answer to our previous conjecture on a lower bound of the number of relative commutativity degrees of finite groups.

We introduce a new approach to an enumerative problem closely linked with the geometry of branched coverings; that is, we study the number of ways a permutation can be decomposed into a product of a given number of 2-cycles, 3-cycles, etc.…

In 1896, Dedekind posed the problem of factoring the group determinant in the non-abelian case to Frobenius, whose solution sparked the birth of finite-group representation theory. Several decades earlier, Cayley introduced the notion of…
