We consider the simply connected Chevalley group $G(E_7,R)$ of type $E_7$ in the 56-dimensional representation. The main objective of the paper is to prove that the following four groups coincide: the normalizer of the elementary Chevalley…

We construct elementary subgroups of all reductive groups of the local isotropic rank $\geq 2$ over rings and prove their basic properties. In particular, our results may be applied to the automorphism groups of any finitely generated…

The current paper is an addition to the previous paper by author, where the overgroup lattice of the elementary subsystem subgroup $E(\Delta,R)$ of the Chevalley group $G(\Phi,R)$ for a large enough root subsystem $\Delta$ was studied. Now…

An estimate on the commutator width is given for Chevalley groups over rings of stable rank 1, and the general method suitable for other rings of small dimension.

Automorphic loops are loops in which all inner mappings are automorphisms. This variety of loops includes groups and commutative Moufang loops. A half-isomorphism $f : G \longrightarrow K$ between multiplicative systems $G$ and $K$ is a…

We continue study of subgroups of a Chevalley group $G_P(\Phi,R)$ over a ring $R$ with a root system $\Phi$ and a weight lattice $P$, containing the elementary subgroup $E_P(\Phi,K)$ over a subring $K$ of $R$. Recently A. Bak and A.…

We completely determine the autotopism group of the (as of now) largest family of commutative semifields found by G\"olo\u{g}lu and K\"olsch. Since this family of semifields generally does not have large nuclei, this process is considerably…

We prove the following generalization of the classical Shephard-Todd-Chevalley Theorem. Let $G$ be a finite group of graded algebra automorphisms of a skew polynomial ring $A:=k_{p_{ij}}[x_1,...,x_n]$. Then the fixed subring $A^G$ has…

We show that almost all circulant graphs have automorphism groups as small as possible. Of the circulant graphs that do not have automorphism group as small as possible, we give some families of integers such that it is not true that almost…

For $n \in \mathbb{N}$, let $[n] = \{1, 2, \ldots, n\}$ be an $n$ - element set. As usual, we denote by $I_n$ the symmetric inverse semigroup on $[n]$, i.e. the partial one-to-one transformation semigroup on $[n]$ under composition of…

We define and study root graded groups, that is, groups graded by finite root systems. This notion generalises several existing concepts in the literature, including in particular Jacques Tits' notion of RGD-systems. The most prominent…

In the present paper, we practicaly complete the solution of the problem on the description of overgroups of the subsystem subgroup $E(\Delta,R)$ in the Chevalley group $G(\Phi,R)$ over the ring $R$, where $\Phi$ is a simply laced root…

Let $I(X,R)$ be the incidence algebra of the preordered set $X$ over the ring $R$. In the case of a finite connected partially ordered set $X$, we prove that the subgroup of inner multiplicative automorphisms is a direct factor of the group…

We classify the regular maps $\mathcal M$ which have automorphism groups $G$ acting faithfully and primitively on their vertices. As a permutation group $G$ must be of almost simple or affine type, with dihedral point stabilisers. We show…

We show how the theory of canonical bases in modified universal enveloping algebras can be used to develop the theory of Chevalley groups over any commutative ring with 1.

A rank 3 graph is an orbital graph of a rank 3 permutation group of even order. Despite the classification of rank 3 graphs being complete, see, e.g., Chapter 11 of the recent monograph 'Strongly regular graphs' by Brouwer and Van…

For a finite subgroup $G$ of $SU(2)$ and one of its ground forms $P\in\mathbb{C}[X,Y]$, we show that the space of invariants $\mathbb{C}[X,Y,P^{-1}]^{G}_k$ of degree $k\in2\mathbb{Z}$ is a cyclic module over the algebra of invariants of…

Isotropic odd unitary groups generalize Chevalley groups of classical types over commutative rings and their twisted forms. Such groups have root subgroups parameterized by a root system $\mathsf{BC}_\ell$ and may be constructed by…

In this paper we establish a definitive result which almost completely closes the problem of bounded elementary generation for Chevalley groups of rank $\ge 2$ over arbitrary Dedekind rings $R$ of arithmetic type, with uniform bounds.…

A graph $\G$ with a group $H$ of automorphisms acting semiregularly on the vertices with two orbits is called a {\em bi-Cayley graph} over $H$. When $H$ is a normal subgroup of $\Aut(\G)$, we say that $\G$ is {\em normal} with respect to…
