Let $G$ be a connected semisimple Lie group. There are two natural duality constructions that assign to it the Langlands dual group $G^\vee$ and the Poisson-Lie dual group $G^*$. The main result of this paper is the following relation…

If $K$ is a closed subgroup of a compact group $G$, the probability that randomly chosen pair of elements from $K$ and $G$ commute is denoted by $Pr(K,G)$. Say that a subgroup $K\leq G$ is $\epsilon$-central in $G$ if $Pr(\langle g…

It is a well-known result of Eymard that the Fourier-Stieltjes algebra of a locally compact group $G$ can be identified with the dual of the group $\cs$ $C^{*}(G)$. A corresponding result for a locally compact groupoid $G$ has been…

Given a sequence ${\bf g}: g_0,\ldots, g_{m}$, in a finite group $G$ with $g_0=1_G$, let ${\bf \bar g}: \bar g_0,\ldots, \bar g_{m}$, be the sequence defined by $\bar g_0=1_G$ and $\bar g_i=g_{i-1}^{-1}g_i$ for $1\leq i \leq m$. We say that…

Let $G_{2}$ be a group which acts trivially on an abelian group $G_{1}$. As is well known, each perturbed direct product of $G_{1}$ and $G_{2}$ under a 2-cocycle $\varepsilon\in Z^{2}(G_{2},G_{1})$ determines a central extension of $G_{1}$…

We consider group actions of topological groups on C*-algebras of the types which occur in many physics models. These are singular actions in the sense that they need not be strongly continuous, or the group need not be locally compact. We…

Clans are representations of generalized algebraic theories that contain more information than the finite-limit categories associated to the locally finitely presentable categories of models via Gabriel-Ulmer duality. Extending…

The dominant theme of this thesis is the construction of matrix representations of finite solvable groups using a suitable system of generators. For a finite solvable group $G$ of order $N = p_{1}p_{2}\dots p_{n}$, where $p_{i}$'s are…

We show that for a locally compact group G there is a one-to-one correspondence between G-invariant weak*-closed subspaces E of the Fourier-Stieltjes algebra B(G) containing B_r(G) and quotients C*_E(G) of C*(G) which are intermediate…

The paper deals with group dualities. A group duality is simply a pair $(G, H)$ where $G$ is an abstract abelian group and $H$ a subgroup of characters defined on $G$. A group topology $\tau$ defined on $G$ is {\it compatible} with the…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite group acting on a Lie group $G$. We consider a class of group extensions $1 \to G \to \hat{G} \to \Gamma \to 1$ defined by this action and a $2$-cocycle of $\Gamma$ with values in the centre of $G$. We establish and…

If $\rho$ is a binary relation on a set $X$, the structure ${\mathbb X}=\langle X,\rho\rangle$ is connected iff the minimal equivalence relation containing $\rho$ is the full relation on $X$. We show that, for a set $I$ the following…

A group is small if it has countably many complete $n$-types over the empty set for each natural number n. More generally, a group $G$ is weakly small if it has countably many complete 1-types over every finite subset of G. We show here…

We consider local Gorenstein duality for cochain spectra $C^*(BG;R)$ on the classifying spaces of compact Lie groups $G$ over complex orientable ring spectra $R$. We show that it holds systematically for a large array of examples of ring…

A group $G$ is said to be $n$-centralizer if its number of element centralizers $\mid \Cent(G)\mid=n$, an F-group if every non-central element centralizer contains no other element centralizer and a CA-group if all non-central element…

Suppose $G$ is a second countable, locally compact, Hausdorff groupoid with a fixed left Haar system. Let $\go/G$ denote the orbit space of $G$ and $C^*(G)$ denote the groupoid $C^*$-algebra. Suppose that the isotropy groups of $G$ are…

If $G$ and $H$ are finitely generated residually nilpotent groups, then $G$ and $H$ are in the same nilpotent genus if they have the same lower central quotients (up to isomorphism). A stronger condition is that $H$ is para-$G$ if there…

We give a detailed description of infinite locally nilpotent groups G such that the index |C_G (x) : <x>| is finite, for every non-normal cyclic subgroup <x> of G. We are also able to extend our analysis to all non-periodic groups…

We present a new construction of crossed-product duality for maximal coactions that uses Fischer's work on maximalizations. Given a group $G$ and a coaction $(A,\delta)$ we define a generalized fixed-point algebra as a certain subalgebra of…

Let $M$ be a $\rm II_1$ factor and let $\mathcal{F}(M)$ denote the fundamental group of $M$. In this article, we study the following property of $M$: for arbitrary $\rm II_1$ factor $B$, we have $\mathcal{F}(M \overline{\otimes}…
