We study loop near-rings, a generalization of near-rings, where the additive structure is not necessarily associative. We introduce local loop near-rings and prove a useful detection principle for localness.

In this paper we provide an overview of the class of inverse semigroups $S$ such that every congruence on $S$ relates at least one idempotent to a non-idempotent; such inverse semigroups are called $E$-disjunctive. This overview includes…

In this paper we study some algebraic properties of the rack structure as well as the representation theory of it, following the ideas given by M. Elhamdadi and E. M. Moutuou in \cite{Elhamdadi}. We establish a correspondence between the…

We show some basic facts about dp-minimal ordered structures. The main results are : dp-minimal groups are abelian-by-finite-exponent, in a divisible ordered dp-minimal group, any infinite set has non-empty interior, and any theory of pure…

This paper generalizes sofic entropy theory, in both the topological and measure-theory settings, to actions of locally compact groups. We prove invariance under topological and measure conjugacy of these entropies and establish the…

We give a survey of recent developments in the investigation of the various local-global conjectures for representations of finite groups.

That announcement gives the structure of totally reducible linear Lie algebras which are the Lie algebra of the holonomy group of (at least) one torsion-free connection. The result uses the (already known) classi cation of the irreducible…

We give simple characterizations of contact 1-forms in terms of Dirac structures. We also relate normal almost contact structures to the theory of Dirac structures.

During the past three decades fundamental progress has been made on constructing large torsion-free subgroups (i.e. subgroups of finite index) of the unit group $\U (\Z G)$ of the integral group ring $\Z G$ of a finite group $G$. These…

This is part I of a three-part series of papers, whose aim is to develop a theory of discrete localities. These generalize the p-local compact groups of Broto, Levi, and Oliver.

We will review the main results concerning the automorphism groups of saturated structures which were obtained during the two last decades. The main themes are: the small index property in the countable and uncountable cases; the…

We give a sufficient condition on totally disconnected topological graphs such that their associated topological graph algebras are purely infinite.

We show how a recent result of Hrushovsky implies that if an asymptotic cone of a finitely generated group is locally compact, then the group is virtually nilpotent.

Let $G$ be a totally disconnected, locally compact group and let $H$ be a virtually flat (for example, polycyclic) group of automorphisms of $G$. We study the structure of, and relationships between, various subgroups of $G$ defined by the…

The semidirect product $\mathbb{G}=\mathbb{L}\rtimes \mathbb{K}$ attached to a compact-group action on a connected, simply-connected solvable Lie group has a dense set of compact elements precisely when the $s\in \mathbb{K}$ operating on…

We study locally compact group topologies on semisimple Lie groups. We show that the Lie group topology on such a group $S$ is very rigid: every 'abstract' isomorphism between $S$ and a locally compact and $\sigma$-compact group $\Gamma$ is…

We use convex decomposition theory to (1) reprove the existence of a universally tight contact structure on every irreducible 3-manifold with nonempty boundary, and (2) prove that every toroidal 3-manifold carries infinitely many…

The left multiplicative continuous compactification of a semitopological semigroup is the universal semigroup compactification. In this paper an internal construction of a semigroup compactification of a semitopological semigroup is…

Different group structures which underline the integrable systems are considered. In some cases, the quantization of the integrable system can be provided with substituting groups by their quantum counterparts. However, some other group…

Recently Raum has given the first examples of locally compact non-discrete groups with the simple reduced group C*-algebra, answering a question of de la Harpe. Here we construct such groups whose proof relies only on results in the…
