For a group $G$, N-series $\cal G$ of $G$ and commutative ring $R$ let $I^n_{R,\cal G}(G)$, $n\ge 0$, denote the filtration of the group algebra $R(G)$ induced by $\cal G$, and $I_R(G)$ its augmentation ideal. For subgroups $H$ of $G$, left…

Let $D$ be an integrally closed domain with quotient field $K$. Let $A$ be a torsion-free $D$-algebra that is finitely generated as a $D$-module. For every $a$ in $A$ we consider its minimal polynomial $\mu_a(X)\in D[X]$, i.e. the monic…

In recent times, there has been a lot of active research on monomial groups in two different directions. While group theorists are interested in the study of their normal subgroups and Hall subgroups, the interest of group ring theorists…

Our approach to structural matrix rings defines them over preordered directed graphs. A grading of a structural matrix ring is called a good grading if its standard unit matrices are homogeneous. For a group $G$, a $G$ -grading set is a set…

Let R be a unital commutative ring and let $M$ be an $R$-module that is generated by $k$ elements but not less. Let $E_n(R)$ be the subgroup of $GL_n(R)$ generated by the elementary matrices. In this paper we study the action of $E_n(R)$ by…

Let $\la$ be a preprojective algebra of simply laced Dynkin type $\Delta$. We study maximal rigid $\la$-modules, their endomorphism algebras and a mutation operation on these modules. This leads to a representation-theoretic construction of…

Let $\mathcal{J}^1$ be the real form of complex simple Jordan algebra with the automorphism group $G$ of type $F_{4(-20)}$. Explicitly, we give the orbit decomposition of $\mathcal{J}^1$ under the action of $G$ and determine the Lie group…

The cycle polynomial of a finite permutation group $G$ is the generating function for the number of elements of $G$ with a given number of cycles: \[F_G(x) = \sum_{g\in G}x^{c(g)},\] where $c(g)$ is the number of cycles of $g$ on $\Omega$.…

Let G be a group of permutations of a denumerable set E. The profile of G is the function phi which counts, for each n, the number phi(n) of orbits of G acting on the n-subsets of E. Counting functions arising this way, and their associated…

This paper introduces two new Burnside rings for a finite group $G$, called the slice Burnside ring and the section Burnside ring. They are built as Grothendieck rings of the category of morphisms of $G$-sets, and of Galois morphisms of…

A new highly symmetrical model of the compact Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}^c_2$ is provided as a twisted ring group for the group $\mathbb{Z}_2^3$ and the ring $\mathbb{R}\oplus\mathbb{R}$. The model is self-contained and can be used without…

A cover of a unital, associative (not necessarily commutative) ring $R$ is a collection of proper subrings of $R$ whose set-theoretic union equals $R$. If such a cover exists, then the covering number $\sigma(R)$ of $R$ is the cardinality…

This paper introduces and systematically develops the theory of polyadic group rings, a higher arity generalization of classical group rings $\mathcal{R}[\mathsf{G}]$. We construct the fundamental operations of these structures, defining…

Properties of a given symmetry group G are very important in investigation of a physical system invariant under its action. In the case of finite spin systems (magnetic rings, some planar macromolecules) the symmetry group is isomorphic…

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…

Let f_1,...,f_r be homogeneous polynomials in K[x_1,...,x_n], K a field. Put F=y_1f_1+...+y_rf_r in K[x,y] and let I be the ideal of K[x,y] generated by the partials of F relative to the x_i and y_j. The Jacobian ring of F is the quotient…

A matroid is a combinatorial structure that captures and generalizes the algebraic concept of linear independence under a broader and more abstract framework. Matroids are closely related with many other topics in discrete mathematics, such…

We introduce fusion algebras with not necessarily positive structure constants and without identity element. We prove that they are semisimple when tensored with $\mathbb{C}$ and that their characters satisfy orthogonality relations. Then…

Let F be a finite field with q elements, let A be a finite dimensional F-algebra and let J=J(A) be the Jacobson radical of A. Then G=1+J is a p-group, where p is the characteristic of F. We refer to G as an F-algebra group. A subgroup H of…

Let $G$ be a connected semisimple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $k$. In 1965 Steinberg proved that if $G$ is simply connected, then in $G$ there exists a closed irreducible cross-section of the set of closures of…
