Let $G$ be a reductive $p$--adic group. Assume that $L\subset G$ is an open--compact subgroup, and $\mathcal H_L$ is the Hecke algebra of $L$--biinivariant complex functions on $G$. It is a well--known and standard result on how to prove…

A Garside group is a group admitting a finite lattice generating set D. Using techniques developed by Bestvina for Artin groups of finite type, we construct K(\pi,1)s for Garside groups. This construction shows that the (co)homology of any…

Consider a finite l-group acting on the affine space of dimension n over a field k, whose characteristic differs from l. We prove the existence of a fixed point, rational over k, in the following cases: --- The field k is p-special for some…

Let $\C(\Gamma)$ be the set of isomorphism classes of the finite groups that are homomorphic images of $\Gamma$. We investigate the extent to which $\C(\Gamma)$ determines $\Gamma$ when $\Gamma$ is a group of geometric interest. If…

This paper is a summary of author's results on finite flat commutative group schemes. The properties of the generic fibre functor are discussed. A complete classification of finite local flat commutative group schemes over mixed…

We show that if G is a finite group then no chain of modular elements in its subgroup lattice L(G) is longer than a chief series. Also, we show that if G is a nonsolvable finite group then every maximal chain in L(G) has length at least two…

We use the kernel category to give a finiteness condition for semigroups. As a consequence we provide yet another proof that finitely generated periodic semigroups of matrices are finite.

T.C. Burness and S.D. Scott \cite{3} classified finite groups $G$ such that the number of prime order subgroups of $G$ is greater than $|G|/2-1$. In this note, we study finite groups $G$ whose subgroup graph contains a vertex of degree…

A topological group $G$ is B-amenable if and only if every continuous affine action of $G$ on a bounded convex subset of a locally convex space has an approximate fixed point. Similar results hold more generally for slightly uniformly…

Let $k$ be an infinite field and $I\subset k [x_1, \ldots ,x_n]$ be an ideal such that dim $V(I)=q$. Denote by $(f_1, \ldots, f_s)$ a set of generators of $I$. One can see that in the set $I\cap k [x_{1},...,x_{q+1}]$ there exist non-zero…

Let $X$ be a set and let $S$ be an inverse semigroup of partial bijections of $X$. Thus, an element of $S$ is a bijection between two subsets of $X$, and the set $S$ is required to be closed under the operations of taking inverses and…

Assume that $p>2$, and let $\mathscr{O}_K$ be a $p$-adic discrete valuation ring with residue field admitting a finite $p$-basis, and let $R$ be a formally smooth formally finite-type $\mathscr{O}_K$-algebra. (Indeed, we allow slightly more…

For every profinite group $G$, we construct two covariant functors $\Delta_G$ and ${\bf {\mathcal {AP}}}_G$ from the category of commutative rings with identity to itself, and show that indeed they are equivalent to the functor $W_G$…

The concept of a C-approximable group, for a class of finite groups C, is a common generalization of the concepts of a sofic, weakly sofic, and linear sofic group. Glebsky raised the question whether all groups are approximable by finite…

This paper pursues an investigation on groups equipped with an $L$-ordered relation, where $L$ is a fixed complete complete Heyting algebra. First, by the concept of join and meet on an $L$-ordered set, the notion of an $L$-lattice is…

A generalized Baumslag-Solitar (GBS) group is a finitely generated group acting on a tree with infinite cyclic edge and vertex stabilizers. We show how to determine effectively the rank (minimal cardinality of a generating set) of a GBS…

The extraction of the $B\to K^*$ transition form factors from lattice data is studied, applying non-relativistic effective field theory in a finite volume. The possible mixing of $\pi K$ and $\eta K$ states is taken into account. The…

Let $k$ be a field, $\tilde{G}$ a connected reductive $k$-group, and $\Gamma$ a finite group. In a previous work, the authors defined what it means for a connected reductive $k$-group $G$ to be "parascopic" for $(\tilde{G},\Gamma)$.…

We determine the structure of the weak*-closed $G$-invariant ideals in the Fourier-Stieltjes algebra $B(G)$ of certain groups $G$ by means of a $K$-theoretical obstruction. The groups to which this applies are groups whose only irreducible…

Self-similar groups provide a rich source of groups with interesting properties; e.g., infinite torsion groups (Burnside groups) and groups with an intermediate word growth. Various self-similar groups can be described by a recursive…
