A new class of rings, {\em the class of weakly left localizable rings}, is introduced. A ring $R$ is called {\em weakly left localizable} if each non-nilpotent element of $R$ is invertible in some left localization $S^{-1}R$ of the ring…

For G an almost simple simply connected algebraic group defined over a field F, Rost has shown that there exists a canonical map R_G: H^1(F, G) --> H^3(F, Q/Z(2)). This includes the Arason invariant for quadratic forms and Rost's mod 3…

We consider linear groups which do not contain unipotent elements of infinite order, which includes all linear groups in positive characteristic, and show that this class of groups has good properties which resemble those held by groups of…

The power graph of a group $G$ is the graph whose vertex set is $G$ and two distinct vertices are adjacent if one is a power of the other. This paper investigates the minimal separating sets of power graphs of finite groups. For power…

The description of the subgroup structure of a non-commutative division ring is the subject of the intensive study in the theory of division rings in particular, and of the theory of skew linear groups in general. This study is still so far…

Let $q$ be a prime, $n$ a positive integer and $A$ an elementary abelian group of order $q^r$ with $r\geq2$ acting on a finite $q'$-group $G$. The following results are proved. We show that if all elements in $\gamma_{r-1}(C_G(a))$ are…

A subset $S$ of a group $(G,+)$ is $t$-weakly sequenceable if there is an ordering $(y_1, \ldots, y_k)$ of its elements such that the partial sums~$s_0, s_1, \ldots, s_k$, given by $s_0 = 0$ and $s_i = \sum_{j=1}^i y_j$ for $1 \leq i \leq…

The power graph of a group $G$ is a simple and undirected graph with vertex set $G$ and two distinct vertices are adjacent if one is a power of the other. In this article, we characterize (non-cyclic) finite groups of prime exponent and…

A subset $S$ of a group $G$ is called an Engel set if, for all $x,y\in S$, there is a non-negative integer $n=n(x,y)$ such that $[x,\,_n y]=1$. In this paper we are interested in finding conditions for a group generated by a finite Engel…

We show that the Hamiltonian Lagrangian monodromy group, in its homological version, is trivial for any weakly exact Lagrangian submanifold of a symplectic manifold. The proof relies on a sheaf approach to Floer homology given by a relative…

It is shown that for a locally compact group $G$, if $L^{1}(G)^{**}$ is approximately weakly amenable, then $M(G)$ is approximately weakly amenable. Then, new notions of approximate weak amenability and approximate cyclic amenability for…

The behavior of the images of a fixed element of order p in irreducible representations of a classical algebraic group in odd characteristic p with highest weights large enough with respect to p and this element is investigated. Lower…

We introduce the idea of a weakly entangled linear order, and show that it is consistent for a Suslin line to be weakly entangled. We generalize the notion of entangled linear orders to $\omega_1$-trees, and prove that an $\omega_1$-tree is…

In this paper we address the problem of classification of simple weight modules over weak generalized Weyl algebras of rank one. The principal difference between weak generalized Weyl algebras and generalized weight algebras is that weak…

If $G$ is a finite group, then the spectrum $\omega(G)$ is the set of all element orders of $G$. The prime spectrum $\pi(G)$ is the set of all primes belonging to $\omega(G)$. A simple graph $\Gamma(G)$ whose vertex set is $\pi(G)$ and in…

If X is a CW complex, one can assign to each point of X an ordered abelian group of finite rank whose subset of positive elements depends continuously on the points of X. A locally trivial bundle which arises in this way we denote by E(X).…

We study the subgroup B_0(G) of H^2(G,Q/Z) consisting of all elements which have trivial restrictions to every Abelian subgroup of G. The group B_0(G) serves as the simplest nontrivial obstruction to stable rationality of algebraic…

Let $G$ be a finite group and, for a prime $p$, let $S$ be a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G$. A character $\chi$ of $G$ is called $\Syl_p$-regular if the restriction of $\chi$ to $S$ is the character of the regular representation of $S$. If, in…

The cohomology of the degree-$n$ general linear group over a finite field of characteristic $p$, with coefficients also in characteristic $p$, remains poorly understood. For example, the lowest degree previously known to contain nontrivial…

Let G be the fundamental group of the complement of a K(G,1) hyperplane arrangement (such as Artin's pure braid group) or more generally a homologically toroidal group (as defined in the paper). The subgroup of elements in the complex…
