We propose a general conjecture on decompositions of finite simple groups as products of conjugates of an arbitrary subset. We prove this conjecture for bounded subsets of arbitrary finite simple groups, and for large subsets of groups of…

This article is dedicated to the investigation of difficulties involved in the understanding of the homomorphism concept. It doesn't restrict to group-theory but on the contrary raises the issue of developing teaching strategies aiming at…

Different versions for defining Ashtekar's generalized connections are investigated depending on the chosen smoothness category for the paths and graphs -- the label set for the projective limit. Our definition covers the analytic case as…

For cohomology theories closely related to Morava E-theory, we provide an algebro-geometric interpretation of the cohomology of groups that arise as centralizers of tuples of commuting elements inside of symmetric groups. The interpretation…

In this article, we compare two different notions of partially defined group strutures, namely partial groups and pregroups, as introduced by Chermak and Stallings respectively. In particular we prove that the category of pregroups can be…

We observe that the notion of two sets being equal up to finitely many elements is a homotopy equivalence relation in a model category, and suggest a homotopy-invariant variant of Generalised Continuum Hypothesis about which more can be…

Algebraic structures such as monoids, groups, and categories can be formulated within a category using commutative diagrams. In many common categories these reduce to familiar cases. In particular, group objects in Grp are abelian groups,…

We introduce a bivariant version of the Cuntz semigroup as equivalence classes of order zero maps generalizing the ordinary Cuntz semigroup. The theory has many properties formally analogous to KK-theory including a composition product. We…

In this paper we develope a categorical theory of relations and use this formulation to define the notion of quantization for relations. Categories of relations are defined in the context of symmetric monoidal categories. They are shown to…

In this paper some reflections on the concept of transition are presented: groupoids are introduced as models for the construction of a ``generalized logic'' whose basic statements involve pairs of propositions which can be conditioned. In…

We say that two elements of a group or semigroup are $\Bbbk$-linear conjugates if their images under any linear representation over $\Bbbk$ are conjugate matrices. In this paper we characterize $\Bbbk$-linear conjugacy for finite semigroups…

Elements $a,b$ of a semigroup $S$ are said to be \emph{primarily conjugate} or just \emph{p-conjugate}, if there exist $x,y\in S^1$ such that $a=xy$ and $b=yx$. The p-conjugacy relation generalizes conjugacy in groups, but for general…

In this article, we introduce an interesting topology-like concept concerning groups (and with almost the same method it can be defined for other algebraic systems). Given an arbitrary group $G$, we define a {\em topo-system} on $G$ as a…

We study the class of all algebras that are isotopic to a Hurwitz algebra. Isomorphism classes of such algebras are shown to correspond to orbits of a certain group action. A complete, geometrically intuitive description of the category of…

We introduce generalised orbit algebras. The purpose here is to measure how some combinatorial properties can characterize the action of a group of permutations on the subsets. The similarity with orbit algebras is such that it took the…

In this paper we classify the reducible representations of compact simple Lie groups all of whose orbits are tautly embedded in Euclidean space with respect to Z_2 coefficients.

We explore the category of internal categories in the usual category of (right) group-sets, whose objects are referred to as categorified group-sets. More precisely, we develop a new Burnside theory, where the equivalence relation between…

Category theory provides a powerful tool to organize mathematics. A sample of this descriptive power is given by the categorical analysis of the practice of "classes as shorthands" in ZF set theory. In this case category theory provides a…

The calculus of classes and closure operations has proved to be a useful tool in group theory and has led to a deep theory in the study of finite soluble groups. More recently, parallel theories have started to be developed in various…

The title refers to the area of research which studies infinite groups using measure-theoretic tools, and studies the restrictions that group structure imposes on ergodic theory of their actions. The paper is a survey of recent developments…
