A {\em cyclic graph} is a graph with at each vertex a cyclic order of the edges incident with it specified. We characterize which real-valued functions on the collection of cubic cyclic graphs are partition functions of a real vertex model…

For a smooth finite cyclic covering over a projective space of dimension greater than one, we show that the group of automorphisms acts faithfully on the cohomology except for a few cases. In characteristic zero, we study the equivariant…

Given a partial action $\pi$ of an inverse semigroup $S$ on a ring $\mathcal{A}$ one may construct its associated skew inverse semigroup ring $\mathcal{A} \rtimes_\pi S$. Our main result asserts that, when $\mathcal{A}$ is commutative, the…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p > 0$. Let $X$ be an irreducible smooth projective curve of genus $g$ over $k$. Fix an integer $n \geq 2$, and let $S^n(X)$ be the $n$-fold symmetric product of $X$. In this…

Using Frobenius normal forms of matrices over finite fields as well as the Burnside Basis Theorem, we give a direct proof of Horo\v{s}evski\u{i}'s result that every automorphism $\alpha$ of a finite nilpotent group has a cycle whose length…

Let $f:R^m \to R$ be a smooth function such that $f(0)=0$. We give a condition on $f$ when for arbitrary preserving orientation diffeomorphism $\phi:\mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ such that $\phi(0)=0$ the function $\phi\circ f$ is right…

We prove that for a suitably nice class of random substitutions, their corresponding subshifts have automorphism groups that contain an infinite simple subgroup and a copy of the automorphism group of a full shift. Hence, they are…

For a fixed prime $p$, we consider a filtration of the commuting complex of elements of order $p$ in the symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_n$. The filtration is obtained by imposing successively relaxed bounds on the number of disjoint…

For a real valued periodic smooth function u on R, $n\ge 0$, one defines the osculating polynomial $\phi_s$ (of order 2n+1) at a point $s\in R$ to be the unique trigonometric polynomial of degree n, whose value and first 2n derivatives at s…

Given a smooth and separated K(pi,1) variety X over a field k, we associate a "cycle class" in etale cohomology with compact supports to any continuous section of the natural map from the arithmetic fundamental group of X to the absolute…

Let $\mathcal{C}$ be the moduli space of smooth complex cubic surfaces and let $\pi_1(\mathcal{C})$ be its (orbifold) fundamental group. We prove that the ``divisor subgroup'' of $\pi_1(\mathcal{C})$ is characteristic. This can be…

In this paper we give an effective criterion as to when a prime number p is the order of an automorphism of a smooth cubic hypersurface of P^{n+1}, for a fixed n > 1. We also provide a computational method to classify all such hypersurfaces…

A word $\sigma=\sigma_1...\sigma_n$ over the alphabet $[k]=\{1,2,...,k\}$ is said to be {\em smooth} if there are no two adjacent letters with difference greater than 1. A word $\sigma$ is said to be {\em smooth cyclic} if it is a smooth…

Let $X$ be a surface with geometric genus and irregularity zero which is defined over a number field $K$. Let $\mathscr{X}$ denote a smooth spread of $X$ over the spectrum of a Zariski open subset in the spectrum of the ring of integers and…

It is proved that a Stein manifold acted on by a connected compact Lie group is spherical if and only if there exists an antiholomorphic involution preserving each orbit of the action. This involution can be chosen equivariant with respect…

We examine the different ways of writing a cover of curves $\phi\colon C\to D$ over a field $K$ as a composition $\phi=\phi_n\circ\phi_{n-1}\circ\dots\circ\phi_1$, where each $\phi_i$ is a cover of curves over $K$ of degree at least $2$…

A skew brace is a triplet $(A,\cdot,\circ)$, where $(A,\cdot)$ and $(A,\circ)$ are groups such that the brace relation $x\circ (y\cdot z) = (x\circ y)\cdot x^{-1}\cdot (x\circ z)$ holds for all $x,y,z\in A$. In this paper, we study the…

Suppose that a finite $p$-group $P$ admits a Frobenius group of automorphisms $FH$ with kernel $F$ that is a cyclic $p$-group and with complement $H$. It is proved that if the fixed-point subgroup $C_P(H)$ of the complement is nilpotent of…
