A discrete subgroup $\Gamma$ of a locally compact group $H$ is called a uniform lattice if the quotient $H/\Gamma$ is compact. Such an $H$ is called an envelope of $\Gamma$. In this paper we study the problem of classifying envelopes of…

Let $S$ be a semigroup. The elements $a,b\in S$ are called primarily conjugate if $a=xy$ and $b=yx$ for certain $x,y\in S$. The relation of conjugacy is defined as the transitive closure of the relation of primary conjugacy. In the case…

We discuss what it means for a symmetric monoidal category to be a module over a commutative semiring category. Each of the categories of (1) cartesian monoidal categories, (2) semiadditive categories, and (3) connective spectra can be…

Let G be a finite solvable permutation group. Then modulo a possibly trivial normal elementary abelian 3-subgroup, some set-stabilizer in G is a 2-group.

Let $G$ be a connected reductive group over a perfect field $k$. We study a certain normal reductive monoid $\overline M$ associated to a parabolic $k$-subgroup $P$ of $G$. The group of units of $\overline M$ is the Levi factor $M$ of $P$.…

Let $\mathbb{N}^{d}$ be the $d$-dimensional monoid of non-negative integers. A generalized numerical semigroup is a submonoid $ S\subseteq \mathbb{N}^d$ such that $H(S)=\mathbb{N}^d \setminus S$ is a finite set. We introduce irreducible…

This paper gives a systematic construction of certain covers of finite semigroups. These covers will be used in future work on the complexity of finite semigroups.

Structural properties of unitary groups over local, not necessarily commutative, rings are developed, with applications to the computation of the orders of these groups (when finite) and to the degrees of the irreducible constituents of the…

For an algebraically closed field K, let G be a finite abelian group of K-linear automorphisms of a finite-dimensional path algebra KQ of a quiver Q. Under certain assumptions on the action of G, we show the existence of a certain kind of…

We give a characterization of hypercyclic using (locally hypercyclic) of semigroup G of affine maps of C^n. We prove the existence of a G-invariant open subset of C^n in which any locally hypercyclic orbit is dense in C^n.

We introduce a new class of locally compact groups, namely the strongly compactly covered groups, which are the Hausdorff topological groups $G$ such that every element of $G$ is contained in a compact open normal subgroup of $G$. For…

A class of groups is investigated, each of which has a fairly simple presentation . For example the group $R = (a, b, c, d | a^3 = b^3 = c^3 = d^3 = 1, ba^{-1} =dc^{-1}, ca^{-1} = db^{-1}) $ is in the class. Such a group does not have as a…

Orbits of coadjoint representations of classical compact Lie groups have a lot of applications. They appear in representation theory, geometrical quantization, theory of magnetism, quantum optics etc. As geometric objects the orbits were…

The present survey aims at being a list of Conjectures and Problems in an area of model-theoretic algebra wide open for research, not a list of known results. To keep the text compact, it focuses on structures of finite Morley rank,…

In this paper we study the separately continuous actions of semitopological monoids on pseudocompact spaces. The main aim of this paper is to generalize Lawson's results to some class of pseudocompact spaces. Also, we introduce a concept of…

The adjoint action of a finite group of Lie type on its Lie algebra is studied. A simple formula is conjectured for the number of split semisimple orbits of a given genus. This conjecture is proved for type A, and partial results are…

In this paper, we introduce homological structure theory of semirings and CP-semirings---semirings all of whose cyclic semimodules are projective. We completely describe semisimple, Gelfand, subtractive, and anti-bounded, CP-semirings. We…

This is the first of a series of papers in which we initiate and develop the theory of reflection monoids, motivated by the theory of reflection groups. The main results identify a number of important inverse semigroups as reflection…

We study relationships between certain algebraic properties of groups and rings definable in a first order structure or $*$-closed in a compact $G$-space. As a consequence, we obtain a few structural results about $\omega$-categorical rings…

In this paper we study the orbit closure problem for a reductive group $G\subseteq GL(X)$ acting on a finite dimensional vector space $V$ over $\C$. We assume that the center of $GL(X)$ lies within $G$ and acts on $V$ through a fixed…
