Using the theory developed by Olga Kharlampovich, Alexei Miasnikov, and, independently, by Zlil Sela to describe the set of homomorphisms of a f.g. group G into a free group F, we describe the solutions to equations with coefficients from F…

We show that the isomorphism problem is solvable in the class of central extensions of word-hyperbolic groups, and that the isomorphism problem for biautomatic groups reduces to that for biautomatic groups with finite centre. We describe an…

We give several resolutions of the Steinberg representation St_n for the general linear group over a principal ideal domain, in particular over Z. We compare them, and use these results to prove that the computations in [AGM4] are…

The matrix semigroup membership problem asks, given square matrices $M,M_1,\ldots,M_k$ of the same dimension, whether $M$ lies in the semigroup generated by $M_1,\ldots,M_k$. It is classical that this problem is undecidable in general but…

Let F_m be a free group of a finite rank m > 1 and X_i, Y_j be elements in F_m. A non-empty word w(x_1,..., x_n) is called a C-test word in n letters for F_m if, whenever w(X_1,..., X_n)=w(Y_1,..., Y_n) not equal to 1, the two n-tuples…

We construct $2$-generator non-Hopfian groups $G_m, m=3, 4, 5, \dots$, where each $G_m$ has a specific presentation $G_m=\langle a, b \, | \, u_{r_{m,0}}=u_{r_{m,1}}=u_{r_{m,2}}= \cdots =1 \rangle$ which satisfies small cancellation…

The group isomorphism problem asks whether two given groups are isomorphic or not. Whereas the case where both groups are abelian is well understood and can be solved efficiently, very little is known about the complexity of isomorphism…

We extend results of Brewster and Graves for switching $m$-edge coloured graphs with respect to a cyclic group to switching $(m, n)$-mixed graphs with respect to an Abelian group. In particular, we establish the existence of a $(m,…

Let $M_{n,k}$ denote the even orthogonal Grassmanian, $SO(2n) / (U(k) \times SO(2n-2k) )$. We study endomorphisms of the rational cohomology algebra of $M_{n,k}$. We prove that an endomorphism of the rational cohomology algebra of…

Let $G$ be the classical group, and let Hom$(\mathbb{Z}^m,G)$ denote the space of commuting $m$-tuples in $G$. First, we refine the formula for the Poincar\'e series of Hom$(\mathbb{Z}^m,G)$ due to Ramras and Stafa by assigning (signed)…

Let $H$ be a group, $m$ be a positive integer, $Ext_m H$ be the set of all isomorphic in $G$ classes of group monomorphisms $\varphi: H \rightarrow G$ such that index of $\varphi(H)$ in $G$ is $m$. The main goal of this paper is to describe…

Let $G$ be the classical group, and let Hom$(\mathbb{Z}^m,G)$ denote the space of commuting $m$-tuples in $G$. Baird proved that the cohomology of Hom$(\mathbb{Z}^m,G)$ is identified with a certain ring of invariants of the Weyl group of…

Let $\{U_n\}_{n \geqslant 0}$ and $\{G_m\}_{m \geqslant 0}$ be two linear recurrence sequences defined over the integers. We establish an asymptotic formula for the number of integers $c$ in the range $[-x, x]$ which can be represented as…

We give another proof of a theorem of D. Prasad (Theorem 2, \textit{Israel J. Math.} 2016), which is also a classical result of Littlewood--Richardson (Theorem VI, \textit{Q. J. Math.} 1934). For integers $m,n \ge 2$, this result calculates…

Let $M_{1,2}(F)$ be the algebra of $3 \times 3$ matrices with orthosymplectic superinvolution $*$ over a field $F$ of characteristic zero. We study the $*$-identities of this algebra through the representation theory of the group…

Let $m$ and $n$ be two positive integers such that $m < n$. Denote by $P_{n,k}$ the principal $Sp(n)$-bundle over $S^{4m}$ and $\mathcal{G}_{k,m}(Sp(n))$ be the gauge group of $P_{n,k}$ classified by $k\varepsilon'$, where $\varepsilon'$ is…

A ${\mathbb Z}_{p}^{m}$-action of type $(d;p,n)$, where $2 \leq d \leq m \leq n$ are integers, is a pair $(S,N)$ where $S$ is a $d$-dimensional compact complex manifold, $N \cong {\mathbb Z}_{p}^{m}$ is a group of holomorphic automorphisms…

Let $N_{g,n}$ denote the nonorientable surface of genus $g$ with $n$ boundary components and $M(N_{g,n})$ its mapping class group. We obtain an explicit finite presentation of $M(N_{g,n})$ for $n=0,1$ and all $g$ such that $g+n>3$.

An infinite family of graphs ${\cal F}$ is called feasible if for any pair of integers $(n,m)$, $n \geq 1$, $0 \leq m \leq \binom{n}{2}$, there is a member $G \in {\cal F}$ such that $G$ has $n$ vertices and $m$ edges. We prove that given a…
