A standard tool for classifying the complexity of equivalence relations on $\omega$ is provided by computable reducibility. This reducibility gives rise to a rich degree structure. The paper studies equivalence relations, which induce…

Let $\bold G$ be a reductive algebraic group defined over $\Q$, and let $\Gamma$ be an arithmetic subgroup of $\bold G(\Q)$. Let $X$ be the symmetric space for $\bold G(\R)$, and assume $X$ is contractible. Then the cohomology (mod torsion)…

Four $\ZZ_+$-bigraded complexes with the action of the exceptional infinite-dimensional Lie superalgebra E(3,6) are constructed. We show that all the images and cokernels and all but three kernels of the differentials are irreducible…

The Sylow graph $\Gamma(G)$ of a finite group $G$ originated from recent investigations on the so--called $\mathbf{N}$--closed classes of groups. The connectivity of $\Gamma(G)$ was proved only few years ago, involving the classification of…

Let $A$ be a unital simple separable exact C$^*$-algebra which is approximately divisible and of real rank zero. We prove that the set of positive elements in $A$ with a fixed non-compact Cuntz class has vanishing homotopy groups. Combined…

It is proved that the assembly map in algebraic K- and L-theory with respect to the family of finite subgroups is injective for groups $\Gamma$ with finite quotient finite decomposition complexity (a strengthening of finite decomposition…

Let $X$ be a set and let $S$ be an inverse semigroup of partial bijections of $X$. Thus, an element of $S$ is a bijection between two subsets of $X$, and the set $S$ is required to be closed under the operations of taking inverses and…

We consider sequences of finitely generated discrete subgroups Gamma_i=rho_i(Gamma) of a rank 1 Lie group G, where the representations rho_i are not necessarily faithful. We show that, for algebraically convergent sequences (Gamma_i),…

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group of exceptional type over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p > 0$. This paper continues a long-standing effort to classify the connected reductive subgroups of $G$. Having previously…

Let $M$ be an irreducible projective variety over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic zero equipped with an action of a group $\Gamma$. Let $E_G$ be a principal $G$--bundle over $M$, where $G$ is a connected reductive…

In this paper we expand on previous results, studying the extent to which one can detect fusion in certain finite groups $\Gamma$, from information about the universal deformation rings of absolutely irreducible…

A relational structure is called reversible iff every bijective endomorphism of that structure is an automorphism. We give several equivalents of that property in the class of disconnected binary structures and some its subclasses. For…

We describe the diagonal reduction algebra D(gl(n)) of the Lie algebra gl(n) in the R-matrix formalism. As a byproduct we present two families of central elements and the braided bialgebra structure of D(gl(n)).

Consider a finite-dimensional algebra $A$ and any of its moduli spaces $\mathcal{M}(A,\mathbf{d})^{ss}_{\theta}$ of representations. We prove a decomposition theorem which relates any irreducible component of…

Let $Q_m$ be the HNN extension of $\Z/m \times \Z/m$ where the stable letter conjugates the first factor to the second. We explore small presentations of the groups $\Gamma_{m,n}=Q_m \ast Q_n$. We show that for certain choices of (m,n), for…

In this short note we show that every connected reductive simply-connected algebraic group of rank $>1$ over the complex numbers has infinitely many pairs of irreducible representations which are not related by an automorphism of the…

Let G be a complex reductive linear algebraic group and let K be a maximal compact subgroup of G. Given a nilpotent group \Gamma generated by r elements, we consider the representation spaces Hom(\Gamma,G) and Hom(\Gamma,K) with the natural…

A closed subgroup of a semisimple algebraic group is called irreducible if it lies in no proper parabolic subgroup. In this paper we classify all irreducible $A_1$ subgroups of exceptional algebraic groups $G$. Consequences are given…

For a finite $\mathbb{Z}$-algebra $R$, i.e., for a ring which is not necessarily associative or unitary, but whose additive group is finitely generated, we construct a decomposition of $R/{\rm Ann}(R)$ into directly indecomposable factors…

We present a selection of results contributing to a structure theory of totally disconnected locally compact groups.
