We define the scattered subsets of a group as asymptotic counterparts of scattered subspaces of a topological space, and prove that a subset $A$ of a group $G$ is scattered if and only if $A$ contains no piecewise shifted $IP$-subsets. For…

The paper presents a new algorithmic construction of a finite generating set of rational invariants for the rational action of an algebraic group on the affine space. The construction provides an algebraic counterpart of the moving frame…

We prove that if $L=\mbox{}^2F_4(2^{2n+1})'$ and $x$ is a nonidentity automorphism of $L$ then $G=\langle L,x\rangle$ has four elements conjugate to $x$ that generate $G$. This result is used to study the following conjecture about the…

A covering of a group is a finite set of proper subgroups whose union is the whole group. A covering is minimal if there is no covering of smaller cardinality, and it is nilpotent if all its members are nilpotent subgroups. We complete a…

Let $U(G)$ be a maximal unipotent subgroup of one of classical groups $G=GL(V),O(V),Sp(V)$. Let $W$ be a direct sum of copies of $V$ and its dual $V*$. For the natural action $U(G):W$, we describe a minimal system of homogeneous generators…

If $G$ is a group and $S$ a generating set, $G$ canonically embeds into the automorphism group of its Cayley graph and it is natural to try to minimize, over all generating sets, the index of this inclusion. This infimum is called the…

A surface in a three-dimensional metric Lie group $G$ is said invariant if it is invariant with respect to a one-dimensional subgroup $\Gamma$ of the isometry group of $G$. Is this work we focus on unimodular metric Lie groups $G$ that can…

Suppose $G$ is a simple group. For any nontrivial elements $g$ and $h$, $g$ can be written as a finite product of conjugates of $h$ or the inverse of $h$. G is called uniformly simple if the length of such an expression is uniformly…

A finitely generated group $G$ is said to be condensed if its isomorphism class in the space of finitely generated marked groups has no isolated points. We prove that every product variety $\mathcal{UV}$, where $\mathcal{U}$ (respectively,…

We introduce the depth parameters of a finite semigroup, which measure how hard it is to produce an element in the minimum ideal when we consider generating sets satisfying some minimality conditions. We estimate such parameters for some…

We obtain a minimal generating set of involutions for the level 2 subgroup of the mapping class group of a closed nonorientable surface.

A discrete subset $S$ of a topological group $G$ is called a {\it suitable set} for $G$ if $S\cup \{e\}$ is closed in $G$ and the subgroup generated by $S$ is dense in $G$, where $e$ is the identity element of $G$. In this paper, the…

A finite subgroup of $GL(n,\mathbb C)$ is involutory if the sum of the dimensions of its irreducible complex representations is given by the number of absolute involutions in the group. A uniform combinatorial model is constructed for all…

Let $w = w(x_1,..., x_n)$ be a word, i.e. an element of the free group $F =<x_1,...,x_n>$ on $n$ generators $x_1,..., x_n$. The verbal subgroup $w(G)$ of a group $G$ is the subgroup generated by the set $\{w (g_1,...,g_n)^{\pm 1} | g_i \in…

For a continuous action of a countable discrete group $G$ on a Polish space $X$, a countable Borel partition $P$ of $X$ is called a generator if $G \cdot P := \{ gC : g \in G, C \in P \}$ generates the Borel $\sigma$-algebra of $X$. For $G…

It is well known that if G is a finite group then the group of endotrivial modules is finitely generated. In this paper we prove that for an arbitrary finite group scheme G, and for any fixed integer n > 0, there are only finitely many…

A discrete subset $S$ of a topologically gyrogroup $G$ is called a {\it suitable set} for $G$ if $S\cup \{1\}$ is closed and the subgyrogroup generated by $S$ is dense in $G$, where $1$ is the identity element of $G$. In this paper, we…

Let G be an affine algebraic group acting on an affine variety X. We present an algorithm for computing generators of the invariant ring K[X]^G in the case where G is reductive. Furthermore, we address the case where G is connected and…

We characterise the elements of the (maximum) idempotent generated subsemigroup of the Kauffman monoid in terms of combinatorial data associated to certain normal forms. We also calculate the smallest size of a generating set and idempotent…
