The notion of $\Delta$-weakly mixing subsets is introduced for countable torsion-free discrete group actions. It is shown that for a finitely generated torsion-free discrete nilpotent group action, positive topological entropy implies the…

Let $\Gamma_{g,b}$ denote the orientation-preserving Mapping Class Group of a closed orientable surface of genus $g$ with $b$ punctures. For a group $G$ let $\Phi_f(G)$ denote the intersection of all maximal subgroups of finite index in…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finitely generated group which admits an action by homeomorphisms on a compact metrizable space $X$. We show that there is a metric on $X$ defining the original topology such that for this metric, the action is by…

A nilpotent quandle is a quandle whose inner automorphism group is nilpotent. Such quandles have been called reductive in previous works, but it turns out that their behaviour is in fact very close to nilpotency for groups. In particular,…

We construct an ordered set of commutators in a partially commutative nilpotent group $F(X; \Gamma; \mathfrak N_m)$. This set allows us to define a canonical form for each element of $F(X; \Gamma; \mathfrak N_m)$. Namely, we construct a…

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group and $\mathcal O$ a nilpotent orbit in $\mathfrak g$. Let ${\mathbf{CS}}(\mathcal O)$ denote the affine cone over the secant variety of $\overline{\mathbb P\mathcal O}\subset \mathbb P\mathfrak g$. Using…

Let $(X,T)$ be a Cantor minimal system, and let $\Gamma$ denote either its associated topological full group or the full group of a Bratteli diagram associated with $(X,T)$. In this paper we describe the structure of indecomposable…

In this short note, we provide an inequality that holds in any finite group, only involving the orders of the elements; we prove that equality holds if and only if the group is nilpotent.

We construct the component action of the system including an ordinary matter and a nilpotent multiplet in global and local supersymmetric framework. The higher dimensional operators of not only Goldstino but also matter and gravitino fields…

Let $\Gamma$ be a lattice in a simply connected nilpotent Lie group $G$. Given an infinite measure preserving action $T$ of $\Gamma$ and a "direction" in $G$ (i.e. an element $\theta$ of the projective space $P(\goth g)$ of the Lie algebra…

A basic fact taught in undergraduate algebra courses is that every finite nilpotent group is a direct product of $p$-groups. Already Bruck observed that this does not generalize to loops. In particular, there exist nilpotent loops of size…

This paper has two main parts. In the first part we develop an elementary coordinatization for any nilpotent group $G$ taking exponents in a binomial principal ideal domain (PID) $A$. In case that the additive group $A^+$ of $A$ is finitely…

We show that, for a finitely generated residually finite group $\Gamma$, the word $[x_1, \ldots, x_k]$ is a probabilistic identity of $\Gamma$ if and only if $\Gamma$ is virtually nilpotent of class less than $k$. Related results,…

Let $\Gamma$ be a sub-semigroup of $G=GL(d,\mathbb R),$ $d>1.$ We assume that the action of $\Gamma$ on $\R^d$ is strongly irreducible and that $\Gamma$ contains a proximal and expanding element. We describe contraction properties of the…

To any action of a compact quantum group on a von Neumann algebra which is a direct sum of factors we associate an equivalence relation corresponding to the partition of a space into orbits of the action. We show that in case all factors…

In this work, we study minimal equicontinuous actions which are locally quasi-analytic. The first main result shows that for minimal equicontinuous actions which are locally quasi-analytic, continuous orbit equivalence of the actions…

It is shown that finite groups in which the order of the product of every pair of elements of co-prime order is the product of the orders, is nilpotent.

Let $G$ be a finitely generated torsion-free nilpotent group and $\phi:H\rightarrow G$ be a surjective homomorphism from a subgroup $H<G$ of finite index with trivial $\phi$-core. For every choice of coset representatives of $H$ in $G$…

Consider a lattice $\Gamma$ in a group $G = SL_2(\R), SO(1,n), SU(1,n)$, $SL_2(\Q_p)$. We discuss actions of $\Gamma$ by affine isometric transformations of Hilbert spaces. We show that for irreducible affine isometric action of $G$ its…

The functions $F_{G}(n)$ measures the asymptotic behavior of residual finiteness for a finitely generated group $G$. In previous work \cite{Pengitore_1}, the author claimed a characterization for $F_{N}(n)$ when $N$ is a finitely generated…
