We construct examples of normal affine varieties X of dimension greater than or equal to 4 such that the group of special automorphisms SAut(X) acts on X with an open orbit O and the complement X\O has codimension one.

In this paper we study definable families of functions from an ordered abelian group into various naturally arising definable quotients. We show that for an ordered abelian group $G$ and definable family of convex subgroups…

Let ${\rm GK}(G)$ be the prime graph associated with a finite group $G$ and $D(G)$ be the degree pattern of $G$. A finite group $G$ is said to be $k$-fold OD-characterizable if there exist exactly $k$ non-isomorphic groups $H$ such that…

Let $p$ be a prime such that $p \geq 5$. Let $G$ be a finite $p$-solvable group and let $p^a$ be the largest power of $p$ dividing $\chi(1)$ for an irreducible character $\chi$ of $G$, we show that $|G:F(G)|_p \leq p^{5.5a}$. Let $G$ be a…

For a group G we consider the set of natural numbers n for which the nth cohomology functor of G commutes with filtered colimit systems of coefficient modules. We find that for the large class of hierarchically decomposable groups there is…

A countable group $G$ is said to be \emph{matricial field} (MF) if it admits a strongly converging sequence of approximate homomorphisms into matrices; i.e, the norms of polynomials converge to those in the left regular representation. $G$…

In this paper, we address the following question: when is a finite $p$-group $G$ self-similar, i.e. when can $G$ be faithfully represented as a self-similar group of automorphisms of the $p$-adic tree? We show that, if $G$ is a self-similar…

The spectrum $\omega(G)$ of a finite group $G$ is the set of element orders of $G$. If $\Omega$ is a non-empty subset of the set of natural numbers, $h(\Omega)$ stands for the number of isomorphism classes of finite groups $G$ with…

For a given group $G$ the orientably regular maps with orientation-preserving automorphism group $G$ are used as the vertices of a graph $\O(G)$, with undirected and directed edges showing the effect of duality and hole operations on these…

An $integral$ of a group $G$ is a group $H$ whose commutator subgroup is isomorphic to $G$. This paper continues the investigation on integrals of groups started in the work arXiv:1803.10179. We study: (1) A sufficient condition for a bound…

If V is a representation of a linear algebraic group G, a set S of G-invariant regular functions on V is called separating if the following holds: If two elements v,v' from V can be separated by an invariant function, then there is an f…

Let $f(x)$ be a non-zero polynomial with integer coefficients. An automorphism $\varphi$ of a group $G$ is said to satisfy the elementary abelian identity $f(x)$ if the linear transformation induced by $\varphi$ on every characteristic…

We consider formal maps in any finite dimension $d$ with coefficients in an integral domain $K$ with identity. Those invertible under formal composition form a group $\mathcal{G}$. We consider the centraliser $C_g$ of an element…

Let $H$ be an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space, $B(H)$ the $C^*$-algebra of all bounded linear operators on $H,$ $U(B(H))$ the unitary group of $B(H)$ and ${\cal K}\subset B(H)$ the ideal of compact operators. Let $G$ be a…

Let $G$ be a simple and simply connected algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $\Bbbk$ of characteristic $p>0$. Assume that $p$ is good for the root system of $G$ and that the covering map $G_{sc} \rightarrow G$ is separable.…

Let $G$ be a connected real algebraic group. An unrefinable chain of $G$ is a chain of subgroups $G=G_0>G_1>...>G_t=1$ where each $G_i$ is a maximal connected real subgroup of $G_{i-1}$. The maximal (respectively, minimal) length of such an…

Let X be an affine variety and L be a solvable Lie subalgebra of Lie(Aut(X)) generated by a finite collection of locally finite Lie subalgebras. The authors of [arXiv:2507.09679] wondered whether L is itself locally finite. Here we present…

An integral of a group $G$ is a group $H$ whose commutator subgroup is isomorphic to $G$. In this paper, we prove that the integrability of a finite group is a decidable problem.

In this note we prove that every finite collection of connected algebraic subgroups of the group of triangular automorphisms of the affine space generates a connected solvable algebraic subgroup.

A subshift on a group G is a closed, G-invariant subset of A^G, for some finite set A. It is said to be a subshift of finite type (SFT) if it is defined by a finite collection of 'forbidden patterns', to be strongly aperiodic if all point…
