We show the existence of Calabi quasimorphisms on the universal covering of the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of a monotone coadjoint orbit of a compact Lie group. We show that this result follows from positivity results of…

Let W be a Weyl group. We can define the notion of positivity of a W-module in terms of the corresponding module over the asymptotic Iwahori-Hecke algebra. We state a conjecture which says that certain explicit W-modules are positive and we…

In this paper, we study the orbit intersection problem for the linear space and the algebraic group in positive characteristic. Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic and let $\Phi_1, \Phi_{2}: K^d…

A real seminormed involutive algebra is a real associative algebra ${\mathcal A}$ endowed with an involutive antiautomorphism $*$ and a submultiplicative seminorm $p$ with $p(a^*) =p(a)$ for $a\in {\mathcal A}$. Then ${\mathop{\tt…

Let G be a Lie group, $g = Lie(G)$ - its Lie algebra, $g*$ - the dual vector space and $\widehat G$ - the set of equivalence classes of unitary irreducible representations of $G$. The orbit method [1] establishes a correspondence between…

For a number field $F$ and an odd prime number $p,$ let $\tilde{F}$ be the compositum of all $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extensions of $F$ and $\tilde{\Lambda}$ the associated Iwasawa algebra. Let $G_{S}(\tilde{F})$ be the Galois group over $\tilde{F}$…

We prove that no quantifier-free formula in the language of group theory can define the $\aleph_1$-half graph in a Polish group, thus generalising some results from [6]. We then pose some questions on the space of groups of automorphisms of…

For finite p-groups P of class 2 and exponent p the following are invariants of fully refined central decompositions of P: the number of members in the decomposition, the multiset of orders of the members, and the multiset of orders of…

Let $G$ be a reductive group quasi-split at $p$. Using arguments of Hansen--Thorne, we show that under the non-abelian Leopoldt conjecture (NALC), Hansen's $p$-adic overconvergent cohomology eigenvariety for $G$ is \'etale over its image in…

Using combinatorial techniques, we prove that the weighted sum of the inverse number of automorphisms of all finite abelian $p$-groups $\sum_G |G|^{-u} |\text{Aut}(G)|^{-1}$ is equal to $\prod_{j=u+1}^\infty\left(1-1/p^j\right)^{-1}$, where…

To any automorphism, $\alpha$, of a totally disconnected, locally compact group, $G$, there is associated a compact, $\alpha$-stable subgroup of $G$, here called the \emph{nub} of $\alpha$, on which the action of $\alpha$ is topologically…

L\'evai and Pyber proposed the following as a conjecture: Let $G$ be a profinite group such that the set of solutions of the equation $x^n=1$ has positive Haar measure. Then $G$ has an open subgroup $H$ and an element $t$ such that all…

We complete the study of finite and profinite groups admitting an action by an elementary abelian group under which the centralizers of automorphisms consist of Engel elements. In particular, we prove the following theorems. Let $q$ be a…

A famous conjecture attributed to Dardano-Dikranjan-Rinauro-Salce states that any uniformly fully inert subgroup of a given group is commensurable with a fully invariant subgroup (see, respectively, [5] and [6]). In this short note, we…

In a recent paper it has been established that over an Artinian ring R all two-dimensional polynomial automorphisms having Jacobian determinant one are tame if R is a Q-algebra. This is a generalization of the famous Jung-Van der Kulk…

Let $p$ be a prime number and $K$ a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. We state conjectures on the smooth representations of $\mathrm{GL}_n(K)$ that occur in spaces of mod $p$ automorphic forms (for compact unitary groups). In particular,…
