Consider a finite, regular cover $Y\to X$ of finite graphs, with associated deck group $G$. We relate the topology of the cover to the structure of $H_1(Y;\mathbb{C})$ as a $G$-representation. A central object in this study is the {\em…
This paper reproduces the text of a part of the Author's DPhil thesis. It gives a proof of the classification of non-trivial, finite homogeneous geometries of sufficiently high dimension which does not depend on the classification of the…
In a seminal paper, Stallings introduced folding of morphisms of graphs. One consequence of folding is the representation of finitely-generated subgroups of a finite-rank free group as immersions of finite graphs. Stallings's methods allow…
For a connected graph L, let G(L) be a group with generators the vertex set of L, subject only to the relations that the ends of each edge commute. Now let H(L) be the kernel of the homomorphism from G(L) to the integers that takes each…
In the first part of this note, we introduce Tietze transformations for $L$-presentations. These transformations enable us to generalize Tietze's theorem for finitely presented groups to invariantly finitely $L$-presented groups. Moreover,…
In this expository note we discuss a class of graded algebras named Cox rings, which are naturally associated to algebraic varieties generalizing the homogeneous coordinate rings of projective spaces. Whenever the Cox ring is finitely…
We show that the algebraic fundamental group of a smooth projective curve over a finite field admits a finite topological presentation where the number of relations does not exceed the number of generators.
We describe the main algebraic and geometric properties of the class of algebras introduced in [arXiv:0705.1629]. We discuss their origins in symplectic geometry and associative algebra, and the notions of cohomology and representations. We…
We describe the rings of invariants for the finite orthogonal groups of plus type in odd characteristic acting on the defining representations. We also describe the invariants of the corresponding Sylow subgroups in the defining…
We study representations of wreath product analogues of categories of finite sets. This includes the category of finite sets and injections (studied by Church, Ellenberg, and Farb) and the opposite of the category of finite sets and…
We show how to use topological ideas, such as compactness, to establish orderability properties of infinite groups. A new application is to provide a left-ordering for the group of PL homeomorphisms of a connected surface with boundary…
This paper surveys results on the connections between the cohomology for algebraic groups, finite groups and Frobenius kernels that were presented at the Workshop and Summer School on Lie and Representation Theory at East China Normal…
In many instances in first order logic or computable algebra, classical theorems show that many problems are undecidable for general structures, but become decidable if some rigidity is imposed on the structure. For example, the set of…
This survey paper concerns mainly with some asymptotic topological properties of finitely presented discrete groups: quasi-simple filtration (QSF), geometric simple connectivity (GSC), topological inverse-representations, and the notion of…
We investigate the cluster-tilted algebras of finite representation type over an algebraically closed field. We give an explicit description of the relations for the quivers for finite representation type. As a consequence we show that a…
A simple procedure to obtain complete, closed expressions for Lie algebra invariants is presented. The invariants are ultimately polynomials in the group parameters. The construction of finite group elements require the use of projectors,…
The orthogonal groups are a series of simple Lie groups associated to symmetric bilinear forms. There is no analogous series associated to symmetric trilinear forms. We introduce an infinite dimensional group-like object that can be viewed…
In this paper, we show that the class of representable residuated semigroups has the finite representation property. That is, every finite representable residuated semigroup is representable over a finite base. This result gives a positive…
We prove a general result on presentations of finitely-generated algebras and apply it to obtain nice presentations for some noncommutative algebras arising in the matrix bispectral problem. By "nice presentation" we mean a presentation…
In recent years, the finite W-algebras associated to a semisimple Lie algebra and its nilpotent element have been studied intensively from different viewpoints. In this lecture series, we shall present some basic constructions, connections,…
