If G and H are finitely generated, residually nilpotent metabelian groups, H is termed para-G if there is a homomorphism of G into H which induces an isomorphism between the corresponding terms of their lower central quotient groups. We…

Let $F$ be the function field of a projective smooth geometrically connected curve $X$ defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. Let $G$ be a split semisimple algebraic group over $\mathbb{F}_q$. Let $S$ be a non-empty finite set of…

It is known that the number of homomorphisms from a group $F$ to a group $G$ is divisible by the greatest common divisor of the order of $G$ and the exponent of $F/[F,F]$. We investigate the number of homomorphisms satisfying some natural…

In this paper, considering the geometric equivalence for algebras of a variety $_{S}A$ of S-acts over a monoid S, we obtain representation theorems describing all types of the equivalence classes of geometrically equivalent S-acts of…

If G is a finitely generated group, and A an algebraic group, then Hom(G,A) is a possibly reducible algebraic variety denoted by R_A(G). Here we define the profile function, P_d(R_A(G)), of the representation variety of G over A to be…

Partial representations of Hopf algebras were motivated by the theory of partial representations of groups. Alves, Batista e Vercruysse introduced partial representations of a Hopf algebra and showed that, as in the case of partial groups…

We define the notion of a hierarchically cocompact classifying space for a family of subgroups of a group. Our main application is to show that the mapping class group $\mbox{Mod}(S)$ of any connected oriented compact surface $S$, possibly…

We say that a space X admits a homology exponent if there exists an exponent for the torsion subgroup of the integral homology. Our main result states if an H-space of finite type admits a homology exponent, then either it is, up to…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite subgroup of $\SL_2(\C)$. We consider $\Gamma$-fixed point sets in Hilbert schemes of points on the affine plane $\C^2$. The direct sum of homology groups of components has a structure of a representation of the…

The Modular Isomorphism Problem asks if an isomorphism of group algebras of two finite p-groups G and H over a field of characteristic p, implies an isomorhism of the groups G and H. We survey the history of the problem, explain strategies…

The equaliser of a set of homomorphisms $S: F(a, b)\rightarrow F(\Delta)$ has rank at most two if $S$ contains an injective map, and is not finitely generated otherwise. This proves a strong form of Stallings' Equaliser Conjecture for the…

Let $G$ be a group and let $\rho\colon G\to\operatorname{Sym}(V)$ be a permutation representation of $G$ on a set $V$. We prove that there is a faithful $G$-coalgebra $C$ such that $G$ arises as the image of the restriction of…

A homomorphism from a graph G to a graph H is a function from the vertices of G to the vertices of H that preserves edges. A homomorphism is surjective if it uses all of the vertices of H and it is a compaction if it uses all of the…

We prove that in genus bigger than $2$, the mapping class group action on $\mathrm{Aff}(\mathbb{C})$-characters is ergodic. This implies that almost every representation $\pi_1 S \longrightarrow \mathrm{Aff}(\mathbb{C})$ is the holonomy of…

We show that for every representation $ \rho : \pi_{1} (S_{g}) \to \text{Isom}(X) $ of the fundamental group of a genus $ g \ge 2 $ surface to the isometry group of a complete $ \text{CAT}(-1) $ metric space $ X $ there exists a Fuchsian…

In this paper we extend the notion of digraphical regular representations in the context of Haar digraphs. Given a group $G$, a {\em Haar digraph} $\Gamma$ over $G$ is a bipartite digraph having a bipartition $\{X,Y\}$ such that $G$ is a…

Under the natural action of the pure mapping class group of a surface of genus at least three, we show that any global fixed point in the low-dimensional deformation space of the surface group corresponds to the trivial representation. A…

We examine the cohomology and representation theory of a family of finite supergroup schemes of the form $(\mathbb G_a^-\times \mathbb G_a^-)\rtimes (\mathbb G_{a(r)}\times (\mathbb Z/p)^s)$. In particular, we show that a certain relation…

Given any group $G$, the multiple holomorph $\mathrm{NHol}(G)$ is the normalizer of the holomorph $\mathrm{Hol}(G) = \rho(G)\rtimes \mathrm{Aut}(G)$ in the group of all permutations of $G$, where $\rho$ denotes the right regular…

In this paper we use the quantization of fields based on Geometric Langlands Correspondence \cite{diep1} to realize the automorphic representations of some concrete series of groups: for the affine Heisenberg (loop) groups it is reduced to…
