Let $g$ be an element of a finite group $G$ and let $R_{n}(g)$ be the subgroup generated by all the right Engel values $[g,{}_{n}x]$ over $x\in G$. In the case when $G$ is soluble we prove that if, for some $n$, the Fitting height of…

Let G be an additive abelian group whose finite subgroups are all cyclic. Let A_1,...,A_n (n>1) be finite subsets of G with cardinality k>0, and let b_1,...,b_n be pairwise distinct elements of G with odd order. We show that for every…

Let $\mathbb{A} = (A, \cdot)$ be a semigroup. We generalize some recent results by G. A. Freiman, M. Herzog and coauthors on the structure theory of set addition from the context of linearly orderable groups to linearly orderable…

Lately, the following problem has attracted a lot of attention in various contexts: find the shortest factorisation $G=UU^-UU^-...U^{\pm}$ of a Chevalley group $G=G(\Phi,R)$ in terms of the unipotent radical $U=U(\Phi,R)$ of the standard…

Given a semigroup $S$, we introduce relative (with respect to a filter $\tau$ on $S$) versions of large, thick and prethick subsets of $S$, give the ultrafilter characterizations of these subsets and explain how large could be some cell in…

In this paper we analyze the irreducibility of numerical semigroups with multiplicity up to four. Our approach uses the notion of Kunz-coordinates vector of a numerical semigroup recently introduced in (Blanco-Puerto, 2011). With this tool…

Superpermutations are words over a finite alphabet containing every permutation as a factor. Finding the minimal length of a superpermutation is still an open problem. In this article, we introduce superpermutations matrices. We establish a…

In recent work, M. Schneider and the first author studied a curious class of integer partitions called "sequentially congruent" partitions: the $m$th part is congruent to the $(m+1)$th part modulo $m$, with the smallest part congruent to…

Root subgroup factorization is a refinement of triangular (or LDU) factorization. For a complex reductive Lie group, and a choice of reduced factorization of the longest Weyl group element, the forward map from root subgroup coordinates to…

Given an positive integer $k$, let $n:=\binom{k+1}{2}$. In 2012, during a talk at UCLA, Jan Saxl conjectured that all irreducible representations of the symmetric group $S_n$ occur in the decomposition of the tensor square of the…

In this paper we produce a few continuations of our previous work on partitions into fractions. Specifically, we study strictly increasing integer sequences $\{n_j\}$ such that there are partitions for all integers less than the floor of…

In this paper we show that if $I$ is an ideal of a commutative semigroup $C$ such that the separator $SepI$ of $I$ is not empty then the factor semigroup $S=C/P_I$ ($P_I$ is the principal congruence on $C$ defined by $I$) satisfies…

We prove several unique prime factorization results for tensor products of type II_1 factors coming from groups that can be realized either as subgroups of hyperbolic groups or as discrete subgroups of connected Lie groups of real rank 1.…

Let $A$ be an additively cancellative semialgebra over an additively cancellative semifield $K$ as defined in [9]. For a given partial action $\alpha$ of a group $G$ on an algebra, the associativity of partial skew group ring together with…

Given a semigroup $S$ and an $n$-partition $\mathcal{P}$ of $S$, $n\in \mathbb{N}$, do there exist $A\in \mathcal{P}$ and a subset $F$ of $S$ such that $S=F ^{-1} \{x \in S: x A \bigcap A\neq\emptyset\}$ and $|F |\leq n$? We give an…

We prove that for any $\ell \geq 0$, there exists an algorithm which takes as input a description of a semi-algebraic subset $S \subset \mathbb{R}^k$ given by a quantifier-free first order formula $\phi$ in the language of the reals, and…

We carry out the complete group classification of the class of (1+1)-dimensional linear Schr\"odinger equations with complex-valued potentials. After introducing the notion of uniformly semi-normalized classes of differential equations, we…

Given a set $A$ of positive integers $a_1<\cdots<a_k$ and a partition $P: n_1+\cdots+n_k=n$, find the extremal denominators of the regular and semi-regular continued fraction $[0;x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ with partial quotients $x_i\in A$ and where…

A lattice-ordered group (an $\ell$-group) $G(\oplus, \vee, \wedge)$ can be naturally viewed as a semiring $G(\vee,\oplus)$. We give a full classification of (abelian) $\ell$-groups which are finitely generated as semirings, by first showing…

Fix natural numbers $n \geq 1$, $t \geq 2$ and a primitive $t^{\text{th}}$ root of unity $\omega$. In previous work with A. Ayyer (J. Alg., 2022), we studied the factorization of specialized irreducible characters of $\text{GL}_{tn}$,…
