For a congruence subgroup $\Gamma$, we define the notion of $\Gamma$-equivalence on binary quadratic forms which is the same as proper equivalence if $\Gamma = \mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb Z)$. We develop a theory on $\Gamma$-equivalence such as…

This is an expository work presenting in detail the proof of the structure theorem for divisible abelian groups. A divisible abelian group is an abelian group that satisfies nD=D for all natural n. The theorem states that any divisible…

Let G be a reductive connected linear algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic and let g be its Lie algebra. First we extend a well-known result about the Picard group of a semisimple group to reductive…

Connectivity is a homotopy invariant property of separable C*-algebras which has three notable consequences: absence of nontrivial projections, quasidiagonality and a more geometric realization of KK-theory for nuclear C*-algebras using…

Let G be an affine algebraic group over an algebraically closed field such that the identity component G^0 of G is reductive. Let W be the Weyl group of G and let D be a connected component of G whose image in G/G^0 is a unipotent element.…

Aiming for a revival of the theory of crystallographic complex reflection groups, we compute (minimal) Coxeter-like reflection presentations for the infinite families of those non-genuine groups which satisfy Steinberg's fixed point…

Let $W$ be a Coxeter group whose proper parabolic subgroups are finite. According to Theorem~1.12 of [1], if the module of a finite $W$-digraph $\Gamma$ is isomorphic to the module of a $W$-graph over $Q$, then $\Gamma$ is acyclic. We…

Any finite-dimensional commutative (associative) graded algebra with all nonzero homogeneous subspaces one-dimensional is defined by a symmetric coefficient matrix. This algebraic structure gives a basic kind of $A$-graded algebras…

Let Gamma\D be an arithmetic quotient of a symmetric space of non-compact type. A spine D_0 is a Gamma-equivariant deformation retraction of D with dimension equal to the virtual cohomological dimension of Gamma. We explicitly construct a…

The {\it prime graph} $\Gamma(G)$ of a finite group $G$ is the graph whose vertex set is the set of prime divisors of $|G|$ and in which two distinct vertices $r$ and $s$ are adjacent if and only if there exists an element of $G$ of order…

We describe the connected components of the space $\text{Hom}(\Gamma,SU(2))$ of homomorphisms for a discrete nilpotent group $\Gamma$. The connected components arising from homomorphisms with non-abelian image turn out to be homeomorphic to…

In this paper we show how a theorem of Jantzen relating the character of a finite dimensional irreducible representation of a disconnected semisimple algebraic group on elements outside the connected component of identity to character of an…

Let p be an odd prime. When n>2, we show that each tensor factor of form E \otimes \Gamma in H(Z,n;Z_p) is an A-infinity bialgebra with non-trivial structure. We give explicit formulas for the structure maps and the quadratic relations…

For a commutative ring $A$ we consider a related graph, $\Gamma(A)$, whose vertices are the unimodular rows of length $2$ up to multiplication by units. We prove that $\Gamma(A)$ is path-connected if and only if $A$ is a…

We extend the geometric side of Arthur's non-invariant trace formula for a reductive group $G$ defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ continuously to a natural space $\mathcal{C}(G(\mathbb{A}^1))$ of test functions which are not necessarily compactly…

Given an evolution algebra associated to a connected finite graph $\Gamma$, we exhibit a free action of the group of symmetries of $\Gamma$ on the set of automorphisms of the algebra. This allows us to explicitly describe this set and we…

We show that a large class of divisible abelian $\ell$-groups (lattice ordered groups) of continuous functions is interpretable (in a certain sense) in the lattice of the zero sets of these functions. This has various applications to the…

Let $k$ be a nonperfect separably closed field. Let $G$ be a connected reductive algebraic group defined over $k$. We study rationality problems for Serre's notion of complete reducibility of subgroups of $G$. In particular, we present a…

We study identities of finite dimensional algebras over a field of characteristic zero, graded by an arbitrary groupoid $\Gamma$. First we prove that its graded colength has a polynomially bounded growth. For any graded simple algebra $A$…

A finite group G is said to be a cut group if all central units in the integral group ring ZG are trivial. In this article, we extend the notion of cut groups, by introducing extended cut groups. We study the properties of extended cut…
