We describe the groups that have the same holomorph as a finite perfect group. Our results are complete for centerless groups. When the center is non-trivial, some questions remain open. The peculiarities of the general case are illustrated…

Polynomials in this paper are defined starting from a compact semisimple Lie group. A known classification of maximal, semisimple subgroups of simple Lie groups is used to select the cases to be considered here. A general method is…

Orbits of automorphism groups of partially ordered sets are not necessarily congruence classes, i.e. images of an order homomorphism. Based on so-called orbit categories a framework of factorisations and unfoldings is developed that…

Let $f(x)=x^8+ax^4+b \in \mathbb{Q}[x]$ be an irreducible polynomial where $b$ is a square. We give a method that completely describes the factorization patterns of a linear resolvent of $f(x)$ using simple arithmetic conditions on $a$ and…

We describe an equivalent formulation of algebraic weak factorisation systems, not involving monads and comonads, but involving double categories of morphisms equipped with a lifting operation satisfying lifting and factorisation axioms.

We develop a structure theory of connected solvable spherical subgroups in semisimple algebraic groups. Based on this theory, we obtain an explicit classification of all such subgroups up to conjugation.

We give a new characterization of partial groups as a subcategory of symmetric (simplicial) sets. This subcategory has an explicit reflection, which permits one to compute colimits in the category of partial groups. We also introduce the…

We obtain an infinite family of orthogonal hypergeometric groups, which are higher rank arithmetic groups. We also list cases of arithmetic hypergeometric groups whose real Zariski closure is O(2,3).

We announce an atlas of subgroup lattices of almost simple groups and present two algorithms that were used to produce the atlas.

The groups distinguish their von Neumann algebras, in the case when these are factors.

We give a classification of all quasitriangular structures and ribbon elements of $\mathcal{D}(G)$ explicitly in terms of group homomorphisms and central subgroups. This can equivalently be interpreted as an explicit description of all…

Based on the concepts of $\mathbb{R}$-factorizable topological groups and $\mathcal{M}$-factorizable topological groups, we introduce four classes of factorizabilities on topological groups, named $P\mathcal{M}$-factorizabilities,…

We initiate the study of $\lambda$-fold near-factorizations of groups with $\lambda > 1$. While $\lambda$-fold near-factorizations of groups with $\lambda = 1$ have been studied in numerous papers, this is the first detailed treatment for…

A finite group $G$ is called $k$-factorizable if for any factorization $|G|=a_1\cdots a_k$ with $a_i>1$ there exist subsets $A_i$ of $G$ with $|A_i|=a_i$ such that $G=A_1\cdots A_k$. We say that $G$ is \textit{multifold-factorizable} if $G$…

The paper deals with quasigroups having a trivial group of automorphisms and a trivial group of autotopisms. Examples of such quasigroups and methods of their verification are given.

The orthogonal groups are a series of simple Lie groups associated to symmetric bilinear forms. There is no analogous series associated to symmetric trilinear forms. We introduce an infinite dimensional group-like object that can be viewed…

In answer to a question of P. Hall, we supply another construction of a group which is isomorphic to each of its non-trivial normal subgroups.

A topological group is (openly) almost-elliptic if it contains a(n open) dense subset of elements generating relatively-compact cyclic subgroups. We classify the (openly) almost-elliptic connected locally compact groups as precisely those…

Often a localization functor (in the category of groups) sends a finite simple group to another finite simple group. We study when such a localization also induces a localization between the automorphism groups and between the universal…

We provide a list of (mainly unsolved) problems in ordered and orderable groups. These were originally compiled 10 years ago by the last two authors. New problems have been added to the list. Progress on some of these is noted and…
