We study lowest-weight irreducible representations of rational Cherednik algebras attached to the complex reflection groups G(m,r,n) in characteristic p. Our approach is mostly from the perspective of commutative algebra. By studying the…

Let $G$ be a finite almost simple group. It is well known that $G$ can be generated by 3 elements, and in previous work we showed that 6 generators suffice for all maximal subgroups of $G$. In this paper we consider subgroups at the next…

In the present paper we find generators of the mixed commutator subgroups of relative elementary groups and obtain unrelativised versions of commutator formulas in the setting of Bak's unitary groups. It is a direct sequel of our similar…

Let $G$ be a simply connected simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$. The category of rational $G$-modules is not semisimple. We consider the question of when the tensor product of two simple…

We provide an expression for the conductor $c(\Delta)$ of a semimodule $\Delta$ of a numerical semigroup $\Gamma$ with two generators in terms of the syzygy module of $\Delta$ and the generators of the semigroup. In particular, we deduce…

In this article, first we give two formulae for the delta invariant of a complex curve singularity that can be embedded as a ${\mathbb Q}$-Cartier divisor in a normal surface singularity with rational homology sphere link. Next, we consider…

A smallest generating set of a semigroup is a generating set of the smallest cardinality. Similarly, an irredundant generating set $X$ is a generating set such that no proper subset of $X$ is also a generating set. A semigroup $S$ is…

We define the dual of a set of generators of the fundamental group of an oriented two-surface $S_{g,n}$ of genus $g$ with $n$ punctures and the associated surface $S_{g,n}\setminus D$ with a disc $D$ removed. This dual is another set of…

The rank of a finite semigroup is the smallest number of elements required to generate the semigroup. A formula is given for the rank of an arbitrary (non necessarily regular) Rees matrix semigroup over a group. The formula is expressed in…

Let $d(G)$ be the smallest cardinality of a generating set of a finite group $G.$ We give a complete classification of the finite groups with the property that, whenever $ \langle x_1, \dots, x_{d(G)} \rangle = \langle y_1, \dots, y_{d(G)}…

The power graph $\Gamma_G$ of a finite group $G$ is the graph with the vertex set $G$, where two distinct elements are adjacent if one is a power of the other. An $L(2, 1)$-labeling of a graph $\Gamma$ is an assignment of labels from…

An algorithm for calculating two-loop propagator type Feynman diagrams with arbitrary masses and external momentum is proposed. Recurrence relations allowing to express any scalar integral in terms of basic integrals are given. A minimal…

We introduce the semiring of values $\Gamma$ with respect to the tropical operations associated to an algebroid curve. As a set, $\Gamma$ determines and is determined by the well known semigroup of values $S$ and we prove that $\Gamma$ is…

It is proved in [21] that there is a constant $c$ such that each transitive permutation group of degree $d\ge 2$ can be generated by $\lfloor cd/\sqrt{\log{d}}\rfloor$ elements. In this paper, we explicitly estimate $c$.

We construct $2$-generator non-Hopfian groups $G_m, m=3, 4, 5, \dots$, where each $G_m$ has a specific presentation $G_m=\langle a, b \, | \, u_{r_{m,0}}=u_{r_{m,1}}=u_{r_{m,2}}= \cdots =1 \rangle$ which satisfies small cancellation…

We collect various known results (about plane curves and the moduli space of stable maps) to derive new recursive formulas enumerating low genus plane curves of any degree with various behaviors. Recursive formulas are given for the…

Let $G$ be a finite group. In order to determine the smallest cardinality $d(G)$ of a generating set of $G$ and a generating set with this cardinality, one should repeat many times the test whether a subset of $G$ of small cardinality…

Let G be a group of the form G_1* ... *G_n, the free product of n subgroups, and let M be a ZG-module of the form $\bigoplus_{i=1}^n M_i \otimes_{\mathbb{Z}G_i} \mathbb{Z}G$. We shall give formulae in various situations for $d_{ZG}(M)$, the…

We describe the K-ring of the classifying space of the generalized quaternion group in terms of generators and the minimal set of relations. We also compute the order of the main generator in the truncated rings.
