Let $G$ be a finite $p$-group. We prove that whenever the commuting probability of $G$ is greater than $(2p^2 + p - 2)/p^5$, the unramified Brauer group of the field of $G$-invariant functions is trivial. Equivalently, all relations between…

We study strongly outer actions of discrete groups on C*-algebras in relation to (non)amenability. In contrast to related results for amenable groups, where uniqueness of strongly outer actions on the Jiang-Su algebra is expected, we show…

We determine the action of the automorphism group Aut$(G)$ on the set of irreducible characters Irr$(G)$ for all finite quasi-simple groups $G$. For groups of Lie type, this includes the construction of an Aut$(G)$-equivariant Jordan…

We characterize the irreducible polynomials that occur as a characteristic polynomial of an automorphism of an even unimodular lattice of given signature, generalizing a theorem of Gross and McMullen. As part of the proof, we give a general…

Let $k$ be a finitely generated field of characteristic $p>0$ and $X$ a smooth and proper scheme over $k$. Recent works of Cadoret, Hui and Tamagawa show that, if $X$ satisfies the $\ell$-adic Tate conjecture for divisors for every prime…

We exhibit central simple algebras over the function field of a diagonal quartic surface over the complex numbers that represent the 2-torsion part of its Brauer group. We investigate whether the 2-primary part of the Brauer group of a…

Given a reductive group $G$, we give a description of the abelian category of $G$-equivariant $D$-modules on $\mathfrak{g}=\mathrm{Lie}(G)$, which specializes to Lusztig's generalized Springer correspondence upon restriction to the…

We give a linear algebraic classification of Auslander regular acyclic monomial algebras via the Bruhat factorisation of the Coxeter matrix. Namely, we show under mild assumptions that a monomial acyclic quiver algebra is Auslander regular…

In this note, we give a group-theoretic condition which is equivalent to the fact that the trivial character is the only complex irreducible character of a finite group G which is contained in the principal p-block for each prime p in a…

We analyze existence of crossed product constructions of Lie group actions on C^*-algebras which are singular. These are actions where the group need not be locally compact, or the action need not be strongly continuous. In particular, we…

Let $G$ be a finite symmetric, general linear, or general unitary group defined over a field of characteristic coprime to $3$. We construct a canonical correspondence between irreducible characters of degree coprime to $3$ of $G$ and those…

Let G be a group acting geometrically on a CAT(0) cube complex X. We prove first that G is hyperbolic relative to the collection P of subgroups if and only if the simplicial boundary of X is the disjoint union of a nonempty discrete set,…

The Glauberman correspondence and its generalisation, the Dade--Glauberman--Nagao (DGN) correspondence, play an important role in studying local-global counting conjectures and their reductions to (quasi-)simple groups. These reduction…

We study solutions to the Brauer embedding problem with restricted ramification. Suppose $G$ and $A$ are a abelian groups, $E$ is a central extension of $G$ by $A$, and $f:\text{Gal}(\overline{\mathbf{Q}}/\mathbf{Q})\rightarrow G$ a…

Let $q$ be a prime power, $G=GL_n(q)$ and let $U\leqslant G$ be the subgroup of (lower) unitriangular matrices in $G$. For a partition $\lambda$ of $n$ denote the corresponding unipotent Specht module over the complex field $\C$ for $G$ by…

For any compact and connected Lie group $G$ and any free abelian or free nilpotent group $\Gamma$ , we determine the cohomology of the path component of the trivial representation of the representation space (character variety)…

We prove that a discrete group $G$ is amenable iff it is strongly unitarizable in the following sense: every unitarizable representation $\pi$ on $G$ can be unitarized by an invertible chosen in the von Neumann algebra generated by the…

Given a magnetic finite group, we consider the similarity classes of magnetic equivariant central simple graded algebras over the complex numbers. We call this set the magnetic equivariant graded Brauer group and its structure as an abelian…

A theorem of Cantat and Urech says that an analog of the classical Tits alternative holds for the group of birational automorphisms of a compact complex Kaehler surface. We established in our previous paper the following Tits-type…

For a homogeneous space X of a connected algebraic group G (with connected stabilizers) over a field k of characteristic zero, we construct a canonical complex of Galois modules of length 3 and a canonical isomorphism between an…
