Let $A$ and $G$ be finite groups such that $A$ acts coprimely on $G$ by automorphisms, we first prove some results on the solvability of finite groups in which some maximal $A$-invariant subgroups have indices a prime or the square of a…

In this short article, we study the extremal behavior $F_\Gamma(n)$ of divisibility functions $D_\Gamma$ introduced by the first author for finitely generated groups $\Gamma$. We show finitely generated subgroups of $\GL(m,K)$ for an…

Let $f:R^m \to R$ be a smooth function such that $f(0)=0$. We give a condition on $f$ when for arbitrary preserving orientation diffeomorphism $\phi:\mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ such that $\phi(0)=0$ the function $\phi\circ f$ is right…

We associate a cohomological invariant to each outer action of a group on a factor, and classify them by the invariant in the case that the group is a countable discrete amenable group and the factor is appoximately finite dimensional. The…

It is shown in a local strongly $F$-regular ring there exits natural number $e_0$ so that if $M$ is any finitely generated maximal Cohen-Macaulay module then the pushforward of $M$ under the $e_0$th iterate of the Frobenius endomorphism…

This self-contained paper is part of a series \cite{FF2,FF3} on actions by diffeomorphisms of infinite groups on compact manifolds. The two main results presented here are: 1) Any homomorphism of (almost any) mapping class group or…

There are various results in the literature which are part of the general philosophy that a finite group for which a certain parameter (for example, the number of conjugacy classes or the maximum number of elements inverted, squared or…

Let $G$ be an infinite group and let $X$ be a finite generating set for $G$ such that the growth series of $G$ with respect to $X$ is a rational function; in this case $G$ is said to have rational growth with respect to $X$. In this paper a…

We prove finite-time singularity formation for De Gregorio's model of the three-dimensional vorticity equation in the class of $L^p\cap C^\alpha(\mathbb{R})$ vorticities for some $\alpha>0$ and $p<\infty$. We also prove finite-time…

We prove that if $X$ is a compact, oriented, connected $4$-dimensional smooth manifold, possibly with boundary, satisfying $\chi(X)\neq 0$, then there exists an integer $C\geq 1$ such that any finite group $G$ acting smoothly and…

We show that the commutator subgroup of the group of unitaries connected to the identity in a simple unital C*-algebra is simple modulo its center. We then go on to investigate the role of regularity properties in the structure of the…

We take the first steps towards a better understanding of continuous orbit equivalence, i.e., topological orbit equivalence with continuous cocycles. First, we characterise continuous orbit equivalence in terms of isomorphisms of C*-crossed…

We give the first examples of (non-amenable group) amenable actions on stably finite simple C*-algebras. More precisely, we give such actions for any countable group in an explicit way. The main ingredients of our construction are the full…

The rigidity theory for circle homeomophisms with breaks was studied intensively in the last 20 years. It was proved that under mild conditions of the Diophantine type on the rotation number any two $C^{2+\alpha}$ smooth circle…

We continue the investigation, that began in [3] and [4], into finite groups whose set of nontrivial conjugacy class sizes form an arithmetic progression. Let $G$ be a finite group and denote the set of conjugacy class sizes of $G$ by ${\rm…

Let $d \in \N$ and let $M$ be a finitely generated graded module of dimension $\leq d$ over a Noetherian homogeneous ring $R$ with local Artinian base ring $R_0$. Let $\beg(M)$, $\gendeg(M)$ and $\reg(M)$ respectively denote the beginning,…

Let $F$ be a nilpotent group acted on by a group $H$ via automorphisms and let the group $G$ admit the semidirect product $FH$ as a group of automorphisms so that $C_G(F) = 1$. We prove that the order of $\gamma_\infty(G)$, the rank of…

Let S be a connected orientable surface with finitely many punctures, finitely many boundary components, and genus at least 6. Then any C^1 action of the mapping class group of S on the circle is trivial. The techniques used in the proof of…

In this article we consider diffeomorphism groups of manifolds with smooth boundary. We show that the diffeomorphism groups of the manifold and its boundary fit into a short exact sequence which admits local sections. In other words, they…

Following the recent advances in the study of groups of circle diffeomorphisms, we describe an efficient way of classifying the topological dynamics of locally discrete, finitely generated, virtually free subgroups of the group…
