The aim of this paper is to construct exact model structures from so called extendable cotorsion pairs. Given a hereditary Hovey triple $(\mathcal{C}, \mathcal{W}, \mathcal{F})$ in a weakly idempotent complete exact category with enough…

Motivated by results for the HCIZ integral in Part I of this paper, we study the structure of monotone Hurwitz numbers, which are a desymmetrized version of classical Hurwitz numbers. We prove a number of results for monotone Hurwitz…

Analogue of classical Hurwitz numbers is defined in the work for regular coverings of surfaces with marked points by seamed surfaces. Class of surfaces includes surfaces of any genus and orientability, with or without boundaries; coverings…

Let $Y$ be a smooth, projective curve of genus $g\geq 1$ over the complex numbers. Let $H^0_{d,A}(Y)$ be the Hurwitz space which parametrizes coverings $p:X \to Y$ of degree $d$, simply branched in $n=2e$ points, with monodromy group equal…

We study structurable algebras and their associated Freudenthal triple systems over commutative rings. The automorphism groups of these triple systems are exceptional groups of type $\mathrm{E}_7$, and we realize groups of type…

We prove that the Hurwitz action on reflection factorizations of Coxeter elements is transitive up to certain natural constraints in the complex reflection groups G4 and G5. This affirms a more general conjecture by Lewis and Reiner in…

F-theory admits 7-branes with exceptional gauge symmetries, which can be compactified to give phenomenological four-dimensional GUT models. Here we study general supersymmetric compactifications of eight-dimensional Yang-Mills theory. They…

We consider the subalgebra of the group algebra of a symmetric group consisting of functions that are constant on conjugacy classes with respect to a Young subgroup. We write an expression for structure constants of this algebra in the…

We give a small generating set for the twist subgroup of the mapping class group of a non-orientable surface by Dehn twists. The difference between the number of the generators and a lower bound of numbers of generators for the twist…

We show that a new multiplicative genus, in the sense of Hirzebruch, can be obtained by generalizing a calculation due to Atiyah and Witten. We introduce this as the $\hat{\Gamma}$-genus, compute its value for some examples and highlight…

Let $G$ be a finite group, $\pi$ be a set of primes, and define $H_{\pi}(G)$ to be the subgroup generated by all elements of $G$ which do not have prime order for every prime in $\pi$. In this paper, we investigate some basic properties of…

Every finite simple group can be generated by two elements and, in fact, every nontrivial element is contained in a generating pair. Groups with this property are said to be $\frac{3}{2}$-generated, and the finite $\frac{3}{2}$-generated…

For any smooth Hurwitz curve $\mathcal{H}_n: \, XY^n+YZ^n+X^nZ=0$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{p}$, an explict description of its Weierstrass points for the morphism of lines is presented. As a consequence, the full automorphism group…

Two elements in a group $G$ are said to $z$-equivalent or to be in the same $z$-class if their centralizers are conjugate in $G$. In \cite{kkj}, it was proved that a non-abelian $p$-group $G$ can have at most $\frac{p^k-1}{p-1} +1$ number…

For a genus $g$ Heegaard splitting of the $3$-sphere, the Goeritz group is defined to be the group of isotopy classes of diffeomorphisms of the $3$-sphere that preserve the splitting setwise. In this paper, we prove the following conjecture…

In this paper we describe how to explicitly construct infinitely many finite simple groups as characteristic quotients of the rank 2 free group $F_2$. This shows that a "baby" version of the Wiegold conjecture fails for $F_2$, and provides…

We study graded rings of modular forms over congruence subgroups, with coefficients in a subring $A$ of $\mathbb{C}$, and specifically the highest weight needed to generate these rings as $A$-algebras. In particular, we determine upper…

It is mentioned that there is a subalgebra isomorphic to the alternating group $2 \cdot A_4$ as a subalgebra of the Quaternion over integers and half-integers called Hurwitz quaternionic integers $\mathscr{H}$ in the book by J.H.Conway and…

Every finite simple group can be generated by two elements, and in 2000, Guralnick and Kantor resolved a 1962 question of Steinberg by proving that in a finite simple group every nontrivial element belongs to a generating pair. Groups with…
