The strong symmetric genus of a finite group is the minimum genus of a compact Riemann surface on which the group acts as a group of automorphisms preserving orientation. A characterization of the infinite number of groups with strong…

We classify up to isomorphism the gradings by arbitrary groups on the exceptional classical simple Lie superalgebras $G(3)$, $F(4)$ and $D(2,1;\alpha)$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$. To achieve this, we apply the…

We give explicit formulas on total Springer representations for classical types. We also describe the characters of restrictions of such representations to a maximal parabolic subgroup isomorphic to a symmetric group. As a result, we give…

A character of a group is said to be super-monomial if every primitive character inducing it is linear. It is conjectured by Isaacs that every irreducible character of an odd $M$-group is super-monomial. We show that all non linear…

The aim of this article is to obtain variations on the classical theorems of Schur and Baer on finiteness of commutator subgroups, valid in the contexts of Lie algebras and Leibniz algebras over a field. Using non-abelian tensor products…

In the long paper "Family Blowup formula, Admissible Graphs and the Enumeration of Singular Curves (I)" (appearing in JDG), the author solved the enumeration problem of nodal (or general singular) curve counting on algebraic surfaces by…

The principal character of a representation of the free group of rank two into PSL(2, C) is a triple of complex numbers that determines an irreducible representation uniquely up to conjugacy. It is a central problem in the geometry of…

This is an introduction to the group algebras of the symmetric groups, written for a quarter-long graduate course. After recalling the definition of group algebras (and monoid algebras) in general, as well as basic properties of…

In this paper we give a generalization of a linear algebra estimate that occurs in the paper \cite{RS}, by Michael Rosen and Joseph H. Silverman. In \cite{RS} authors give a bound for the size of a submodule of $(\mathbb{Z}/n \mathbb{Z})^2$…

We study the modular representation theory of the symmetric and alternating groups. One of the most natural ways to label the irreducible representations of a given group or algebra in the modular case is to show the unitriangularity of the…

Let $G$ be a finite $p$-group of order $p^n$. YA. G. Berkovich (Journal of Algebra {\bf 144}, 269-272 (1991)) proved that $G$ is elementary abelian $p$-group if and only if the order of its Schur multiplier, $M(G)$, is at the maximum case.…

Enhancing and essentially generalizing previous results on a class of (1+1)-dimensional nonlinear wave and elliptic equations, we apply several new techniques to classify admissible point transformations within this class up to the…

We classify all finite 2-groups that have a cyclic or dihedral maximal subgroup and determine their automorphism groups. Based on this result, we classify all pairs $ (G,\mathcal{M}) $, such that $ G $ is a finite 2-group and $ \mathcal{M}…

We use a theorem of Chow (1949) on line-preserving bijections of Grassmannians to determine the automorphism group of Grassmann codes. Further, we analyze the automorphisms of the big cell of a Grassmannian and then use it to settle an open…

Let $G$ be a complex, linear algebraic group acting on an algebraic space $X$. The purpose of this paper is to prove a Riemann-Roch theorem (Theorem 5.3) which gives a description of the completion of the equivariant Grothendieck group…

A finite group $G$ is called a Schur group if every Schur ring over $G$ is schurian, i.e. associated in a natural way with a subgroup of the symmetric group $Sym(G)$ that contains all right translations of $G$. The list of all possible…

We study criteria for deciding when the normal subgroup generated by a single polynomial automorphism of $\mathbb{A}^n$ is as large as possible, namely equal to the normal closure of the special linear group in the special automorphism…

Recall that a $p$-group of order $p^ {n} >p^ {3} $ is of maximal class, if its nilpotency class is $n-1$. In this paper, we study the $p$-groups of maximal class. Furthermore, we introduce a subgroup of a $p$-group of maximal class called…

This the first of a series of articles dealing with abstract classification theory. The apparatus to assign systems of cardinal invariants to models of a first order theory (or determine its impossibility) is developed in [Sh:a]. It is…

For a non-cyclic finite group $G$, let $\gamma(G)$ denote the smallest number of conjugacy classes of proper subgroups of $G$ needed to cover $G$. Bubboloni, Praeger and Spiga, motivated by questions in number theory, have recently…
