$\operatorname{SL}(2,q)$-unitals are unitals of order $q$ admitting a regular action of $\operatorname{SL}(2,q)$ on the complement of some block. They can be obtained from affine $\operatorname{SL}(2,q)$-unitals via parallelisms. We compute…
Unitals can be obtained as closures of affine unitals via parallelisms. The isomorphism type of the closure depends on the chosen parallelism, which need not be unique. For affine $\operatorname{SL}(2,q)$-unitals, we introduce a class of…
The modular transformation properties of admissible characters of the affine superalgebra sl(2|1;C) at fractional level k=1/u-1, u=2,3,... are presented. All modular invariants for u=2 and u=3 are calculated explicitly and an A-series and…
The quantum group SL_q(2,R) at roots of unity is introduced by means of duality pairings with the quantum algebra U_q(sl(2,R)). Its irreducible representations are constructed through the universal T-matrix. An invariant integral on this…
We provide explicit uniform type (2,3)-generators for the special linear group SL_{12}(q) for all q except for q=2 or 4. Our considerations are easily traceable, self-contained and based only on the known list of maximal subgroups of this…
We classify the parabolic unitals in regular nearfield planes of odd order $q^2$ whose linear collineation group has the maximal size of $q^3-q$. We also establish a number of more general results concerning parabolic unitals in regular…
Let k^[6] denote a polynomial ring in 6 variables over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic zero and consider the action of SL2(k) on k^[6] induced by the irreducible representation of SL2 of degree 5 (the binary quintic…
This paper is devoted to the classification and studying properties of complex unital $3$-dimensional structurable algebras. We provide a complete list of non-isomorphic classes, identifying five algebras for type $(2, 1)$ and two algebras…
We complete the description of automorphism groups of all nonsplit extensions of elementary abelian $2$-groups by $PSL_2(q)$, with $q$ odd, for an irreducible induced action. An application of this result to the theory of $\pi$-submaximal…
In this paper we introduce enumeration of unitals of order $5$, which are also Steiner systems $S(2,6,126)$, where automorphism group acts transitively and effectively on points or fixes one point.
In this paper we study the (2,k)-generation of the finite classical groups SL(4,q), Sp(4,q), SU(4,q^2) and their projective images. Here k is the order of an arbitrary element of SL(2,q), subject to the necessary condition k>= 3. When q is…
In this paper we present the results from a program developed by the author that finds the unitals of the known 193 projective planes of order 25.. There are several planes for which we have not found any unital. One or more than one…
Let $U_q(\hat{\cal G})$ denote the quantized affine Lie algebra and $U_q({\cal G}^{(1)})$ the quantized {\em nontwisted} affine Lie algebra. Let ${\cal O}_{\rm fin}$ be the category defined in section 3. We show that when the deformation…
We discuss a modification of Uq(sl(2,R)) and a class of its irreducible representations when q is a root of unity.
Non-abelian coordinate ring of $U_q(SL(N))$ (quantum deformation of the algebra of functions) for $N=2,3$ is represented in terms of conventional creation and annihilation operators. This allows to construct explicitly representations of…
In this paper, we consider the order m k-automorphisms of SL(2,k). We first characterize the forms that order m k-automorphisms of SL(2,k) take and then we simple conditions on matrices A and B, involving eigenvalues and the field that the…
Unitally nondistributive quantales are unital quantales such that the unit is approximable by the totally below relation and does not meet-distribute over arbitrary joins. It is shown that the underlying nondistributive complete lattice…
We construct a model of the Hermitian unital of order 3 (obtained from the non-degenerate hermitian form in three variables over the field of order 9) inside the octonion algebra over the field of order 2. This construction is invariant…
Let $\mathbb F$ denote a field, and pick a nonzero $q \in \mathbb F$ that is not a root of unity. Let $\mathbb Z_4=\mathbb Z/4 \mathbb Z$ denote the cyclic group of order 4. Define a unital associative ${\mathbb F}$-algebra $\square_q$ by…
In the case of Uq(sl(2,R)) at root of unity q-deformed analogues are proposed for the generator of the maximal compact subalgebra, J, and for the raising and lowering operators. We prove an algebraic identity which implies that J has…
