All crossed products of two cyclic groups are explicitly described using generators and relations. A necessary and sufficient condition for an extension of a group by a group to be a cyclic group is given.

Quantum groupoids are a joint generalization of groupoids and quantum groups. We propose a definition of a compact quantum groupoid that is based on the theory of C*-algebras and Hilbert bimodules. The essential point is that whenever one…

Using the language of finite element exterior calculus, we define two families of $H^1$-conforming finite element spaces over pyramids with a parallelogram base. The first family has matching polynomial traces with tensor product elements…

In this paper we explore the structure and properties of C-groups. We define a C-group as a group $G$ with $rk(G) < rk(Z(G))$ (where $rk(G)$ is the minimal cardinal of a generating set for a group $G$). Using GAP (a group theory program)…

Let $G$ be an additive abelian group. A sequence $S=g_1\cdot\ldots\cdot g_{\ell}$ of terms from $G$ is a plus-minus weighted zero-sum sequence if there are $\varepsilon_1,\ldots,\varepsilon_{\ell}\in\{-1,1\}$ such that $\varepsilon_1…

A zero-sum sequence over ${\mathbb Z}$ is a sequence with terms in ${\mathbb Z}$ that sum to $0$. It is called minimal if it does not contain a proper zero-sum subsequence. Consider a minimal zero-sum sequence over ${\mathbb Z}$ with…

We define and study fibrations of topological groupoids. We interpret a groupoid fibration L->H with fibre G as an action of H on G by groupoid equivalences. Our main result shows that a crossed product for an action of L is isomorphic to…

The genus spectrum of a finite group $G$ is the set of all $g\geq 2$ such that $G$ acts faithfully and orientation-preserving on a closed compact orientable surface of genus $g$. This article is an overview of some results relating the…

Let G be a group and let P be a subsemigroup of G. In order to describe the crossed product of a C*-algebra A by an action of P by unital endomorphisms we find that we must extend the action to the whole group G. This extension fits into a…

A finitely generated group $G$ is said to be condensed if its isomorphism class in the space of finitely generated marked groups has no isolated points. We prove that every product variety $\mathcal{UV}$, where $\mathcal{U}$ (respectively,…

A countable group is residually finite if every nontrivial element can act nontrivially on a finite set. When a group fails to be residually finite, we might want to measure how drastically it fails - it could be that only finitely many…

We introduce the notion of Whitehead sequence which is defined for a base category together with a system of abstract actions over it. In the classical case of groups and group actions the Whitehead sequences are precisely the…

An $integral$ of a group $G$ is a group $H$ whose derived group (commutator subgroup) is isomorphic to $G$. This paper discusses integrals of groups, and in particular questions about which groups have integrals and how big or small those…

A subset S of a group G invariably generates G if G = <s^(g(s)) | s in S> for each choice of g(s) in G, s in S. In this paper we study invariable generation of infinite groups, with emphasis on linear groups. Our main result shows that a…

The class of finitely presented algebras over a field $K$ with a set of generators $a_{1},\ldots , a_{n}$ and defined by homogeneous relations of the form $a_{1}a_{2}\cdots a_{n} =a_{\sigma (1)} a_{\sigma (2)} \cdots a_{\sigma (n)}$, where…

Several operations can be defined on the set of all linear recurrent sequences, such as the binomial convolution (Hurwitz product) or the multinomial convolution (Newton product). Using elementary techniques, we prove that this set equipped…

We study the problem when every matrix over a division ring is representable as either the product of traceless matrices or the product of semi-traceless matrices, and also give some applications of such decompositions. Specifically, we…

A program is a finite piece of data that produces a (possibly infinite) sequence of primitive instructions. From scratch we develop a linear notation for sequential, imperative programs, using a familiar class of primitive instructions and…

If $G$ is a finite group and $x\in G$ then the set of all elements of $G$ having the same order as $x$ is called {\em an order subset of $G$ determined by $x$} (see [2]). We say that $G$ is a {\em group with perfect order subsets} or…

In this paper, we study the product of orders of composition factors of odd order in a composition series of a finite linear group. First we generalize a result by Manz and Wolf about the order of solvable linear groups of odd order. Then…
