The normaliser problem takes as input subgroups $G$ and $H$ of the symmetric group $S_n$, and asks one to compute $N_G(H)$. The fastest known algorithm for this problem is simply exponential, whilst more efficient algorithms are known for…

This is a further investigation of our approach to group actions in homological algebra in the settings of homology of {\Gamma}-simplicial groups, particularly of {\Gamma}-equivariant homology and cohomology of {\Gamma}-groups. This…

For a finite group $G$, let $p(G)$ denote the minimal degree of a faithful permutation representation of $G$. The minimal degree of a faithful representation of $G$ by quasi-permutation matrices over the fields $\mathbb{C}$ and $\mathbb{Q}$…

By work of C. Greither and B. Pareigis as well as N. P. Byott, the enumeration of Hopf-Galois structures on a Galois extension of fields with Galois group $G$ may be reduced to that of regular subgroups of $\mbox{Hol}(N)$ isomorphic to $G$…

In this paper we introduce the symmetric normaliser graph of a group $G$. The vertex set of this graph consists of elements of the group. Vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if $x$ lies in the normaliser of $\langle y \rangle$ and $y$ lies in…

We showed in part I (hep-th/9912092) that the Hopf algebra ${\cal H}$ of Feynman graphs in a given QFT is the algebra of coordinates on a complex infinite dimensional Lie group $G$ and that the renormalized theory is obtained from the…

We provide a direct and elementary proof of the equivalence between the weak asymptotic homomorphism property for the pair of group von Neumann algebras $L(H)\subset L(G)$ and the embedding into $H$ of the one sided quasi-normalizer of the…

This paper introduces the notion of orbit coherence in a permutation group. Let $G$ be a group of permutations of a set $\Omega$. Let $\pi(G)$ be the set of partitions of $\Omega$ which arise as the orbit partition of an element of $G$. The…

Let $X$ be a finite set such that $|X|=n$. Let $\trans$ and $\sym$ denote respectively the transformation monoid and the symmetric group on $n$ points. Given $a\in \trans\setminus \sym$, we say that a group $G\leq \sym$ is $a$-normalizing…

This article began as a study of the structure of infinite permutation groups G in which point stabilisers are finite and all infinite normal subgroups are transitive. That led to two variations. One is the generalisation in which point…

We extend the theory of holomorphic induction of unitary representations of a possibly infinite-dimensional Lie group $G$ beyond the setting where the representation being induced is required to be norm-continuous. We allow the group $G$ to…

Let $\sigma =\{\sigma_{i} | i\in I\}$ be some partition of the set of all primes $\Bbb{P}$ and $\Pi$ a non-empty subset of the set $\sigma$. A set ${\cal H}$ of subgroups of a finite group $G$ is said to be a \emph{ complete Hall $\Pi…

The normal covering number $\gamma(G)$ of a finite, non-cyclic group $G$ is the least number of proper subgroups such that each element of $G$ lies in some conjugate of one of these subgroups. We prove that there is a positive constant $c$…

Let $X$ be a compact connected K\"ahler manifold equipped with an anti-holomorphic involution which is compatible with the K\"ahler structure. Let $G$ be a connected complex reductive affine algebraic group equipped with a real form…

A concept of generalized regular polytope is introduced in this work. The number of its (1...n-1)-dimensional elements is not necessarily integer, though all the combinatorial and metric properties meet those of regular polytopes in a…

There are many deep results on the structure of REGULAR probability measures $P(G)$ on compact/locally compact, Hausdorff topological groups G. See, for instance, the classic monographs by KR Parthasarathy, Ulf Grenander, A.Mukherjea and…

$H$ is called a $G$-subgroup of a hyperbolic group $G$ if for any finite subset $M\subset G$ there exists a homomorphism from $G$ onto a non-elementary hyperbolic group $G_1$ that is surjective on $H$ and injective on $M$. In his paper in…

In a previous paper the authors constructed a class of quasi-Hopf algebras $D^{\omega}(G, A)$ associated to a finite group $G$, generalizing the twisted quantum double construction. We gave necessary and sufficient conditions, cohomological…

To a set $\mathcal{B}$ of 4-subsets of a set $\Omega$ of size $n$ we introduce an invariant called the `hole stabilizer' which generalises a construction of Conway, Elkies and Martin of the Mathieu group $M_{12}$ based on Loyd's…

Let $\Omega$ be a finite set and $T(\Omega)$ be the full transformation monoid on $\Omega$. The rank of a transformation $t\in T(\Omega)$ is the natural number $|\Omega t|$. Given $A\subseteq T(\Omega)$, denote by $\langle A\rangle$ the…
