For each subgroup of GL_2(F_p) or order divisible by p, generated by (pseudo-)reflections, we compute the ideals of stable and generalized invariants. These groups and these ideals are related to the cohomology of compact Lie groups,…

The feasibility of a classification-by-rank program for modular categories follows from the Rank-Finiteness Theorem. We develop arithmetic, representation theoretic and algebraic methods for classifying modular categories by rank. As an…

We determine the number of elements of order two in the group of normalized units V(F_2G) of the group algebra F_2G of a 2-group of maximal class over the field F_2 of two elements. As a consequence for the 2-groups G and H of maximal class…

We show that each level of the quantifier alternation hierarchy within FO^2[<] -- the 2-variable fragment of the first order logic of order on words -- is a variety of languages. We then use the notion of condensed rankers, a refinement of…

For $n \geq 2$ let $\Delta$ be a Dynkin diagram of rank $n$ and let $I = {1, >..., n}$ be the set of labels of $\Delta$. A group $G$ admits a weak Phan system of type $\Delta$ over $\mathbb{C}$ if $G$ is generated by subgroups $U_i$, $i \in…

The Benson-Solomon systems comprise a one-parameter family of simple exotic fusion systems at the prime $2$. The results we prove give significant additional evidence that these are the only simple exotic $2$-fusion systems, as conjectured…

A family of exotic fusion systems generalizing the group fusion systems on Sylow $p$-subgroups of $\mathrm{G}_2(p^a)$ and $\mathrm{Sp}_4(p^a)$ is constructed.

In this paper we introduce principal 2-bundles and show how they are classified by non-abelian Cech cohomology. Moreover, we show that their gauge 2-groups can be described by 2-group-valued functors, much like in classical bundle theory.…

We introduce affine structures on groups and show they form a category equivalent to that of semi-braces. In particular, such a new description of semi-braces includes that presented by Rump for braces. By specific affine structures, we…

Let $F$ be a field and let $F \langle X \rangle$ be the free unital associative $F$-algebra on the free generating set $X = \{ x_1, x_2, \dots \}$. A subalgebra (a vector subspace) $V$ in $F \langle X \rangle$ is called a $T$-subalgebra (a…

Let $p$ be a prime, $S$ be a $p$-group and $\mathcal{F}$ be a saturated fusion system over $S$. Then $\mathcal{F}$ is said to be supersolvable, if there exists a series of $S$, namely $1 = S_0 \leq S_1 \leq \cdots \leq S_n = S$, such that…

A p-local finite group is an algebraic structure with a classifying space which has many of the properties of p-completed classifying spaces of finite groups. In this paper, we construct a family of 2-local finite groups, which are exotic…

The groups whose orders factorise into at most four primes have been described (up to isomorphism) in various papers. Given such an order n, this paper exhibits a new explicit and compact determination of the isomorphism types of the groups…

This paper is the second in a series devoted to the development of a rigorous renormalisation group method for lattice field theories involving boson fields, fermion fields, or both. The method is set within a normed algebra $\mathcal{N}$…

We establish the structure of finite groups with $\mathfrak{F}$-subnormal or self-normalizing primary cyclic subgroups in case $\mathfrak{F}$ is a subgroup-closed saturated superradical formation containing all nilpotent groups.

We define a subgroup of the universal sofic group, obtained as the normaliser of a separable abelian subalgebra. This subgroup can be obtained as an extension by the group of automorphisms on a standard probability space. We show that each…

The nature of an atom in a bonded structure -- such as in molecules, in nanoparticles or solids, at surfaces or interfaces -- depends on its local atomic environment. In atomic-scale modeling and simulation, identifying groups of atoms with…

We study the entanglement entropy of random partitions in one- and two-dimensional critical fermionic systems. In an infinite system we consider a finite, connected (hypercubic) domain of linear extent $L$, the points of which with…

Let $K$ be a field and $f:\mathbb{P}^N \to \mathbb{P}^N$ a morphism. There is a natural conjugation action on the space of such morphisms by elements of the projective linear group $\text{PGL}_{N+1}$. The group of automorphisms, or…

We show that every saturated fusion system $\mathcal{F}$ has a unique minimal $\mathcal{F}$-characteristic biset $\Lambda_\mathcal{F}$. We examine the relationship of $\Lambda_\mathcal{F}$ with other concepts in $p$-local finite group…
