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…

Let G be a real or complex linear algebraic reductive group. Let H and F be reductive subgroups. We study the natural H action on G/F. The main theorem of this note shows that generic H orbits are closed. This theorem is then applied to…

The probability of plunging orbits is enhanced in groups of galaxies and indeed, observations show that ring galaxies, which are believed to form when a galaxy passes through the center of a larger rotating disk, are often found in small…

Let $RG$ be the gruop ring of the group $G$ over ring $R$ and $\mathscr{U}(RG)$ be its unit group. Finding the structure of the unit group of a finite group ring is an old topic in ring theory. In, G. Tang et al: Unit Groups of Group…

We give an example of a dense, simple, unital Banach subalgebra $A$ of the irrational rotation C*-algebra $B$, such that $A$ is not a spectral subalgebra of $B$. This answers a question posed in T.W. Palmer's paper [1].

Let $G$ be the group ${\rm PAff}_+({\bf S}^1)$ of piecewise--affine circle homeomorphisms or the group ${\Diff}^{\infty}(\mathbb R/\mathbb Z)$ of smooth circle diffeomorphisms. A constructive proof that all irrational rotations are…

A pseudomodular group is a discrete subgroup $\Gamma \leq PGL(2,\mathbb{Q})$ which is not commensurable with $PSL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ and has cusp set precisely $\mathbb{Q}\cup\{\infty\}$. The existence of such groups was proved by Long and…

In this paper, we take the classic dihedral and quaternion groups and explore questions like "what if we replace $i=e^{2\pi i/4}$ in $Q_8$ with a larger root of unity?" and "what if we add a reflection to $Q_8$?" The delightful answers…

The bracket map was originally considered for locally compact abelian groups. In this work we extend the study of bracket maps to the noncommutative setting, providing characterizations of bases and frames for cyclic subspaces of the…

We investigate the multiplication group of a special class of quasigroup called AG-group. We prove some interesting results such as: the multiplication group of an AG-group of order n is non-abelian group of order 2n and its left section is…

We investigate which complex tori admits complex Lie subgroups whose closure is not complex.

We present some of the group theoretic properties of reversing symmetry groups, and classify their structure in simple cases that occur frequently in several well-known groups of dynamical systems.

In this paper we analyze the structure of some subalgebras of quantized enveloping algebras corresponding to unipotent and solvable subgroups of a simple Lie group G. These algebras have the non--commutative structure of iterated algebras…

The infinite dimensional Clifford Algebra has a maze of irreducible unitary representations. Here we determine their type -real, complex or quaternionic. Some, related to the Fermi-Fock representations, have no real or quetrnionic…

A simple, though rarely considered, thought experiment on relativistic rotation is described in which internal inconsistencies in the theory of relativity seem to arise. These apparent inconsistencies are resolved by appropriate insight…

We have previously proposed a study of arrangements of small circles which also surround regions in the plane realized as the images of natural real algebraic maps yielding Morse-Bott functions by projections. Among studies of arrangements,…

We explain by elementary means why the existence of a discrete series representation of a real reductive group $G$ implies the existence of a compact Cartan subgroup of $G$. The presented approach has the potential to generalize to real…

Let $p$ be a prime and $G$ a subgroup of $GL_d(p)$. We define $G$ to be $p$-exceptional if it has order divisible by $p$, but all its orbits on vectors have size coprime to $p$. We obtain a classification of $p$-exceptional linear groups.…

We exhibit many examples of closed complex surfaces whose diffeomorphism groups are not simply-connected and contain loops that are not homotopic to loops of symplectomorphisms.

Strongly real groups and totally orthogonal groups form two important subclasses of real groups. In this article we give a characterization of strongly real special 2-groups. This characterization is in terms of quadratic maps over fields…
