We give a proof of Gabber's presentation lemma for finite fields. We use ideas from Poonen's proof of Bertini's theorem to prove this lemma in the special case of open subsets of the affine plane. We then reduce the case of general smooth…
We study actions of discrete groups on 2-categories. The motivating examples are actions on the 2-category of representations of finite tensor categories and their relation with the extension theory of tensor categories by groups.…
Following Schmidt and Strunk, we give a proof of Gabber presentation lemma over a noetherian domain with infinite residue fields.
The problem of classifying equivalence classes of presentations up to isomorphism of Cayley graphs is considered in this article in the case of dicyclic groups. The number of equivalence classes of presentations is uniformly bounded - it is…
We develop a theory of equivariant group presentations and relate them to the second homology group of a group. Our main application says that the second homology group of the Torelli subgroup of the mapping class group is finitely…
Previous formulations of group theory in ACL2 and Nqthm, based on either "encapsulate" or "defn-sk", have been limited by their failure to provide a path to proof by induction on the order of a group, which is required for most interesting…
We consider an arbitrary representation of the additive group over a field of characteristic zero and give an explicit description of a finite separating set in the corresponding ring of invariants.
We develop the theory of 2-quivers and quiver 2-categories to run in parallel with the classical theory of quiver algebras. A quiver 2-category is always finitary, and, conversely, every finitary 2-category will be bi-equivalent with a…
Consider a group $G$ acting nicely on a simply-connected simplicial complex $X$. Numerous classical methods exist for using this group action to produce a presentation for $G$. For the case that $X/G$ is 2-connected, we give a new method…
We present a classification of finite $p$-groups $G$ with $\gamma_2(G)$, the commutator subgroup of $G$, of order $p^4$ and exponent $p$ such that not all elements of $\gamma_2(G)$ are commutators.
This is the second installment of an exposition of an ACL2 formalization of finite group theory. The first, which was presented at the 2022 ACL2 workshop, covered groups and subgroups, cosets, normal subgroups, and quotient groups,…
We construct a birational invariant for certain algebraic group actions. We use this invariant to classify linear representations of finite abelian groups up to birational equivalence, thus answering, in a special case, a question of E. B.…
We consider the capability of $p$-groups of class two and odd prime exponent. The question of capability is shown to be equivalent to a statement about vector spaces and linear transformations, and using the equivalence we give proofs of…
In this paper we describe all group gradings by a finite abelian group $\Gamma$ of a simple Lie algebra of type $G_2$ over an algebraically closed field $F$ of characteristic 0.
Let $G$ be a finite group acting transitively on a set $\Omega$. We study what it means for this action to be {\it quasirandom}, thereby generalizing Gowers' study of quasirandomness in groups. We connect this notion of quasirandomness to…
Given a group G, we construct, in a canonical way, an inverse semigroup S(G) associated to G. The actions of S(G) are shown to be in one-to-one correspondence with the partial actions of G, both in the case of actions on a set, and that of…
We extend the 2-representation theory of finitary 2-categories to certain 2-categories with infinitely many objects, denoted locally finitary 2-categories, and extend the classical classification results of simple transitive…
We generalize the Plesken-Fabia\'nska $\mathrm{L}_2$-quotient algorithm for finitely presented groups on two or three generators to allow an arbitrary number of generators. The main difficulty lies in a constructive description of the…
This paper continues math.GR/0608302's study of amenability of affine algebras (based on the notion of almost-invariant finite-dimensional subspace), and applies it to graded algebras associated with finitely generated groups. Due to a…
Starting from any proper action of any locally compact quantum group on any discrete quantum space, we show that its equivariant representation theory yields a concrete unitary 2-category of finite type Hilbert bimodules over the discrete…
