To an arbitrary Lie superalgebra $L$ we associate its Jordan double ${\mathcal Jor}(L)$, which is a Jordan superalgebra. This notion was introduced by the second author before. Now we study further applications of this construction. First,…

The Jordan algebra of the symmetric matrices of order two over a field $K$ has two natural gradings by $\mathbb{Z}_2$, the cyclic group of order 2. We describe the graded polynomial identities for these two gradings when the base field is…

The generalized order $e_G(g)$ of an element $g$ of a group $G$ is the smallest positive integer $k$ such that there exist $x_1,\ldots,x_k \in G$ such that $g^{x_1} \ldots g^{x_k}=1$, where $g^x=x^{-1}gx$. Let $e(G) = \max \{e_G(g)\ |\ g…

Let $V$ be a vector space of dimension $d$ over $F_q$, a finite field of $q$ elements, and let $G \le GL(V) \cong GL_d(q)$ be a linear group. A base of $G$ is a set of vectors whose pointwise stabiliser in $G$ is trivial. We prove that if…

In this paper we find a representative of each orbit of the adjoint action of a real affine classical group of its Lie algebra. These orbits are not determined by the usual Jordan invariants of eigenvalues and block sizes, but require a…

For $G$ an algebraic group of type $A_l$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$, we determine all irreducible rational representations of $G$ in defining characteristic with dimensions $\le (l+1)^s$ for $s = 3, 4$,…

For any group $G$, the Gorenstein homological dimension ${\rm Ghd}_RG$ is defined to be the Gorenstein flat dimension of the coefficient ring $R$, which is considered as an $RG$-module with trivial group action. We prove that ${\rm Ghd}_RG…

Let $F$ be a non-archimedean local field and $G$ the $F$-points of a connected simply-connected reductive group over $F$. In this paper, we study the unipotent $\ell$-blocks of $G$, for $\ell \neq p$. To that end, we introduce the notion of…

In this paper we prove the generalized Kaplansky conjecture for the Jordan algebras of the type $J_n$ in particular for self adjoint $2\times 2$ matrices over $\R$, over $\C$, $\HH$ and $\Oct$. In fact, we prove that the image of…

We expand on an idea of Vinberg to take a tensor space and the natural Lie algebra that acts on it and embed their direct sum into an auxiliary algebra. Viewed as endomorphisms of this algebra, we associate adjoint operators to tensors. We…

We show that the necessary conditions for the existence of 4-GDDs of type g^u m^1 are sufficient for g congruent to 0 (mod h), h = 39, 51, 57, 69, 87, 93, and for g = 13, 17, 19, 23, 25, 29, 31 and 35. More generally, we show that for all g…

Affine difference algebraic groups are a generalization of affine algebraic groups obtained by replacing algebraic equations with algebraic difference equations. We show that the isomorphism theorems from abstract group theory have…
