The Kneser graph ${\rm KG}_{n,k}$ is a graph whose vertex set is the family of all $k$-subsets of $[n]$ and two vertices are adjacent if their corresponding subsets are disjoint. The classical Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado theorem determines the…

The paper contains a proof of the conjecture of M. Klin and D. Maru$\breve{\rm s}$i$\breve{\rm c}$ that an automorphism group of a transitive graph contains a permutation, decomposed in cycles of the same length. The proof is based on the…

A family $\mathcal{F}$ of spanning trees of the complete graph on $n$ vertices $K_n$ is \emph{$t$-intersecting} if any two members have a forest on $t$ edges in common. We prove an Erd\H{o}s--Ko--Rado result for $t$-intersecting families of…

We establish a "diagonal" ergodic theorem involving the additive and multiplicative groups of a countable field $K$ and, with the help of a new variant of Furstenberg's correspondence principle, prove that any "large" set in $K$ contains…

For non-amenable finitely generated virtually free groups, we show that the combinatorial Euler characteristic introduced by Emerson and Meyer is the preimage of the K-theory class of higher Kazhdan projections under the Baum-Connes…

For a fixed finite solvable group $G$ and number field $K$, we prove an upper bound for the number of $G$-extensions $L/K$ with restricted local behavior (at infinitely many places) and ${\rm inv}(L/K)<X$ for a general invariant $"{\rm…

We continue our investigation of Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado (EKR) sets of flags in spherical buildings. In previous work, we used the theory of buildings and Iwahori-Hecke algebras to obtain upper bounds on their size. As the next step towards the…

We introduce a notion of {\em cyclic Schur-positivity} for sets of permutations, which naturally extends the classical notion of Schur-positivity, and it involves the existence of a bijection from permutations to standard Young tableaux…

Let O_K be a discrete valuation ring of mixed characteristics (0,p), with residue field k. Using work of Sekiguchi and Suwa, we construct some finite flat O_K-models of the group scheme \mu_{p^n,K} of p^n-th roots of unity, which we call…

Let $G$ be a transitive permutation group on a finite set of size at least $2$. By a well known theorem of Fein, Kantor and Schacher, $G$ contains a derangement of prime power order. In this paper, we study the finite primitive permutation…

Let $R$ be a regular domain of dimension $d\geq 2$ which is essentially of finite type over an infinite perfect field $k$. We compare the Euler class group $E^d(R)$ with the van der Kallen group $Um_{d+1}(R)/E_{d+1}(R)$. In the case $2R=R$,…

A family of sets is intersecting if every pair of its members has an element in common. Such a family of sets is called a star if some element is in every set of the family. Given a graph $G$, let $\mu(G)$ denote the size of the smallest…

Symmetric $k$-varieties generalize Riemannian sym\-me\-tric spaces to reductive groups defined over arbitrary fields. For most perfect fields, it is known that symmetric $k$-varieties are in one-to-one correspondence with isomorphy classes…

The well-posedness of a generalized Coleman--Gurtin equation equipped with dynamic boundary conditions with memory was recently established by the author with C.G. Gal. In this article we report advances concerning the asymptotic behavior…

In the paper the foundation of the $k$-orbit theory is developed. The theory opens a new simple way to the investigation of groups and multidimensional symmetries. The relations between combinatorial symmetry properties of a $k$-orbit and…

The well-known theorem of Shalom--Vaserstein and Ershov--Jaikin-Zapirain states that the group $\mathrm{EL}_n(\mathcal{R})$, generated by elementary matrices over a finitely generated commutative ring $\mathcal{R}$, has Kazhdan's property…

Let $H$ be a commutative semigroup with unit element such that every non-unit can be written as a finite product of irreducible elements (atoms). For every $k \in \mathbb N$, let $\mathscr U_k (H)$ denote the set of all $\ell \in \mathbb N$…

A family of independent $r$-sets of a graph $G$ is an $r$-star if every set in the family contains some fixed vertex $v$. A graph is $r$-EKR if the maximum size of an intersecting family of independent $r$-sets is the size of an $r$-star.…

We investigate the asymptotic version of the Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado theorem for the random $k$-uniform hypergraph $\mathcal{H}^k(n,p)$. For $2 \leq k(n) \leq n/2$, let $N=\binom{n}k$ and $D=\binom{n-k}k$. We show that with probability tending to…

Let $G\leqslant\mathrm{Sym}(\Omega)$ be a finite transitive permutation group with point stabiliser $H$. We say that a subgroup $K$ of $G$ is a fixer if every element of $K$ has fixed points, and we say that $K$ is large if $|K| \geqslant…
