Let $\pi$ be a set of primes. By H.Wielandt definition, {\it Sylow $\pi$-theorem} holds for a finite group $G$ if all maximal $\pi$-subgroups of $G$ are conjugate. In the paper, the following statement is proven. Assume that $\pi$ is a…

In the representation theory of finite groups, there is a well-known and important conjecture due to M. Brou\'e. He conjectures that, for any prime p, if a p-block A of a finite group G has an abelian defect group P, then A and its Brauer…

Probabilistic algorithms are applied to prove theorems about the finite general linear and unitary groups which are typically proved by techniques such as character theory and Moebius inversion. Among the theorems studied are Steinberg's…

We prove the strong Atiyah conjecture for right-angled Artin groups and right-angled Coxeter groups. More generally, we prove it for groups which are certain finite extensions or elementary amenable extensions of such groups.

Recently, Moret\'o and Rizo proposed a conjecture, known as the Picky Conjecture, proposing new character correspondences extending the McKay Conjecture. We prove the Picky Conjecture for all quasi-simple groups of Lie type for non-defining…

A group $G$ is said to be $\frac{3}{2}$-generated if every nontrivial element belongs to a generating pair. It is easy to see that if $G$ has this property then every proper quotient of $G$ is cyclic. In this paper we prove that the…

Let k be an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic p. We consider which finite groups G have the property that every faithful action of G on a connected smooth projective curve over k lifts to characteristic zero. Oort…

Since techniques used to address the Nivat's conjecture usually relies on Morse-Hedlund Theorem, an improved version of this classical result may mean a new step towards a proof for the conjecture. In this paper, considering an alphabetical…

In this article, we study word equations in free semigroups and the conjecture that the existence of infinitely many solutions entails the existence of solutions with arbitrarily large exponent of periodicity. We examine this question in…

In this paper we are concerned with the classification of the finite groups admitting a bipartite DRR and a bipartite GRR. First, we find a natural obstruction in a finite group for not admitting a bipartite GRR. Then we give a complete…

In this document we achieve exact and asymptotic enumeration of words, compositions over a finite group, and/or integer compositions characterized by local restrictions and, separately, subsequence pattern avoidance. We also count…

We prove the Alperin-McKay Conjecture for all $p$-blocks of finite groups with metacyclic, minimal non-abelian defect groups. These are precisely the metacyclic groups whose derived subgroup have order $p$. In the special case $p=3$, we…

Let K >= 1 be a parameter. A K-approximate group is a finite set A in a (local) group which contains the identity, is symmetric, and such that A^2 is covered by K left translates of A. The main result of this paper is a qualitative…

If w is a word in d>1 letters and G is a finite group, evaluation of w on a uniformly randomly chosen d-tuple in G gives a random variable with values in G, which may or may not be uniform. It is known that if G ranges over finite simple…

We prove that the conjecture made by Peter Frankl in the late 1970s is true. In other words for every finite union-closed family which contains a non?empty set, there is an element that belongs to at least half of its m

Given two subsets $X,Y$ of a finite group $G$, we write $\Pr(X,Y)$ for the probability that random elements $x \in X$ and $y \in Y$ commute. If $X,Y$ are subgroups, we denote by $\Pr^*(X,Y)$ the maximum real number $\epsilon$ with the…

We discuss measures, invariant measures on definable groups, and genericity, often in an NIP (failure of the independence property) environment. We complete the proof of the third author's conjectures relating definably compact groups $G$…

We consider word maps and word maps with constants on a simple algebraic group. We present results on the images of such maps, in particular, we prove a theorem on the dominance of general word maps with constants, which can be viewed as an…

Anisimov and Seifert show that a group has a regular word problem ifand only if it is finite. Muller and Schupp (together with Dunwoody's accessibility result) show that a group has context free word problem if and only if it is virtually…

A famous conjecture of Graham asserts that every set $A \subseteq \mathbb{Z}_p \setminus \{0\}$ can be ordered so that all partial sums are distinct. Although this conjecture was recently proved for sufficiently large primes by Pham and…
