Let G be a finite group acting on a smooth projective curve X. This induces an action of G on the Jacobian JX of X and thus a decomposition of JX up to isogeny. The most prominent example of such a situation is the group G of two elements.…

We prove that every finite non-abelian simple group acts as the automorphism group of a chiral polyhedron, apart from the groups $PSL_2(q)$, $PSL_3(q)$, $PSU_3(q)$ and $A_7$.

Recent results of Qu and Tuarnauceanu describe explicitly the finite p-groups which are not elementary abelian and have the property that the number of their subgroups is maximal among p-groups of a given order. We complement these results…

We determine the image of the braid groups inside the Temperley-Lieb algebras, defined over finite field, in the semisimple case, and for suitably large (but controlable) order of the defining (quantum) parameter. We also prove that, under…

We describe gradings by finite abelian groups on the associative algebras of infinite matrices with finitely many nonzero entries, over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero.

We investigate near-factorizations of nonabelian groups, concentrating on dihedral groups. We show that some known constructions of near-factorizations in dihedral groups yield equivalent near-factorizations. In fact, there are very few…

We give an infinite family of non-abelian strongly real Beauville $p$-groups for any odd prime $p$ by considering the lower central quotients of the free product of two cyclic groups of order $p$. This is the first known infinite family of…

Every finite non-abelian group of order $n$ has a non-central element whose centralizer has order exceeding $n^{1/3}$. The proof does not rely on the classification of finite simple groups, yet it uses the Feit-Thompson theorem.

We prove that for all non-abelian finite simple groups $S$, there exists a fake mth Galois action on IBr$(X)$ with respect to $X \lhd X \rtimes $ Aut$(X)$, where $X$ is the universal covering group of $S$ and $m$ is any non-negative integer…

We show that the Stallings-Bieri groups, along with certain other Bestvina-Brady groups, have quadratic Dehn function.

Using totally symmetric sets, Chudnovsky, Kordek, Li, and Partin gave a superexponential lower bound on the cardinality of non-abelian finite quotients of the braid group. In this paper, we develop new techniques using multiple totally…

We give simple examples of Kazhdan groups with infinite outer automorphism groups. This answers a question of Paulin, independently answered by Ollivier and Wise by completely different methods. As arithmetic lattices in (non-semisimple)…

In general the endomorphisms of a non-abelian group do not form a ring under the operations of addition and composition of functions. Several papers have dealt with the ring of functions defined on a group which are endomorphisms when…

It is proved that any infinite Abelian topological group of prime exponent has an infinite maximally almost periodic subgroup.

In this paper, we first study the endomorphisms of free-abelian times surface groups and give a characterization of when they are injective and surjective. Then, we see that free-abelian times hyperbolic groups are Hopfian but not…

Nikulin has classified all finite abelian groups acting symplectically on a K3 surface and he has shown that the induced action on the K3 lattice $U^3\oplus E_8(-1)^2$ depends only on the group but not on the K3 surface. For all the groups…

It was recently proven that all free and many virtually free verbally closed subgroups are algebraically closed in any group. We establish sufficient conditions for a group that is an extension of a free non-abelian group by a group…

We generalize the non-abelianization of Gaiotto-Moore-Neitzke from the case of $SL(n)$ and $GL(n)$ to arbitrary reductive algebraic groups. This gives a map between a moduli space of certain $N$-shifted weakly $W$-equivariant $T$-local…

We show that the de Jong fundamental group of any non-trivial abelian variety over a complete algebraically closed extension $C/\mathbb{Q}_p$ is non-abelian. Generalizing an argument for $\mathbb{P}^1_C$, we also show that the de Jong…

We develop a theory of group actions and coverings on Brauer graphs that parallels the theory of group actions and coverings of algebras. In particular, we show that any Brauer graph can be covered by a tower of coverings of Brauer graphs…
