Let $G$ be a group and let $V$ be an algebraic variety over an algebraically closed field $K$. Let $A$ denote the set of $K$-points of $V$. We introduce algebraic sofic subshifts $\Sigma \subset A^G$ and study endomorphisms $\tau \colon…

Klein's simple group $H$ of order $168$ is the automorphism group of the plane quartic curve $C$, called Klein quartic. By Torelli Theorem, the full automorphism group $G$ of the Jacobian $J=J(C)$ is the group of order $336$, obtained by…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finitely generated torsion free nilpotent group, and let $A^\omega$ be the space of infinite words over a finite alphabet $A$. We investigate two types of self-similar actions of $\Gamma$ on $A^\omega$, namely the…

Let $N$ be a nilpotent group normal in a group $G$. Suppose that $G$ acts transitively upon the points of a finite non-Desarguesian projective plane $\mathcal{P}$. We prove that, if $\mathcal{P}$ has square order, then $N$ must act…

Let S be a finite generating set of a torsion-free, nilpotent group G. We show that every automorphism of the Cayley graph Cay(G;S) is affine. (That is, every automorphism of the graph is obtained by composing a group automorphism with…

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group and $\mathcal O$ a nilpotent orbit in $\mathfrak g$. Let ${\mathbf{CS}}(\mathcal O)$ denote the affine cone over the secant variety of $\overline{\mathbb P\mathcal O}\subset \mathbb P\mathfrak g$. Using…

First, I construct an isomorphism between the categories of (topological) groups of nilpotency class 2 with 2-divisible center and (topological) Lie rings of nilpotency class 2 with 2-divisible center. That isomorphism allows us to…

We prove that if $G$ and $H$ are finite metacyclic groups with isomorphic rational group algebras and one of them is nilpotent then $G$ and $H$ are isomorphic.

The main result asserts: Let $G$ be a reductive, affine algebraic group and let $(\rho ,V)$ be a regular representation of $G$. Let $X$ be an irreducible $\mathbb{C}^{ \times } G$ invariant Zariski closed subset such that $G$ has a closed…

Let $V$ be a simple vertex operator algebra and $G$ be a finite nilpotent group of automorphisms of $V.$ We prove the following in this paper: (1) There is a Galois correspondence between subgroups of $G$ and the vertex operator subalgebras…

Let $G$ be a finite soluble group and $G^{(k)}$ the $k$th term of the derived series of $G$. We prove that $G^{(k)}$ is nilpotent if and only if $|ab|=|a||b|$ for any $\delta_k$-values $a,b\in G$ of coprime orders. In the course of the…

The results in this paper provide a comparison between the $K$-structure of unipotent representations and regular sections of bundles on nilpotent orbits. Precisely, let $\widetilde{G_0} =\widetilde{Spin}(a,b)$ with $a+b=2n$, the nonlinear…

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group and $\ggg=\Lie(G)$ over $k=\bar\bbf_q$ where $q$ is a power of the prime characteristic of $k$, and $F$ a Frobenius morphism on $G$ which can be defined naturally on $\ggg$. In this paper, we investigate…

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $\mathscr{F}$ be a family of subgroups of $G$. We introduce a class of $G$-equivariant spectra that we call $\mathscr{F}$-nilpotent. This definition fits into the general theory of torsion, complete, and…

We give an elementary criterion on a group G for the map from Aut(G) to Out(G) to split virtually. This criterion applies to many residually finite CAT(0) groups and hyperbolic groups, and in particular to all finitely generated Coxeter…

A finite group $G$ is said to have the nilpotent decomposition property (ND) if for every nilpotent element $\alpha$ of the integral group ring $\mathbb{Z}[G]$ one has that $\alpha e$ also belong to $\mathbb{Z}[G]$, for every primitive…

This is a sequel to \cite{osy} and \cite{sxy}. Associated with $G:=\GL_n$ and its rational representation $(\rho, M)$ over an algebraically closed filed $\bk$, we define an enhanced algebraic group $\uG:=G\ltimes_\rho M$ which is a product…

This paper investigates conditions under which a given automorphism of a residually torsion-free nilpotent group respects some ordering of the group. For free groups and surface groups, this has relevance to ordering the fundamental groups…

In the paper autonilpotent groups were characterized as groups $G$ such that $\mathrm{Aut}G$ stabilizes some chain of subgroups of $G$. It was shown that a $p$-group is autonilpotent if and only if its group of automorphisms is also a…
