For a group G and an element a in G let |a|_k denote the cardinality of the set of commutators [a,x_1,...,x_k], where x_1,...,x_k range over G. The main result of the paper states that a group G is finite-by-nilpotent if and only if there…

A skew corner is a triple of points in $\mathbb{Z} \times \mathbb{Z}$ of the form $(x,y), (x, y + a)$ and $(x + a, y')$. Pratt posed the following question: how large can a set $A \subseteq [n] \times [n]$ be, provided it contains no…

For a sequence $S$ over a finite abelian group, let $MZ(S)$ denote the length of the shortest nonempty zero-sum subsequence of $S$. We prove that if $G$ is finite abelian of order $n$ and $S$ has length $n$, then $MZ(S)\le n-|\supp(S)|+1$.…

Let K be a global field, let S be a finite set of primes of K containing the archimedean primes and let A be an abelian variety over K. We generalize the duality theorem established in our paper "On Neron class groups of abelian varieties"…

We give a simple proof for the rigidity of a complex in the bounded derived category of sheaves with constructible cohomology on an abelian variety.

In this paper we find a necessary and sufficient condition for a finite nilpotent group to have an abelian central automorphism group.

In this short note, we construct some nontrivial examples of topological biquandle. The key ingredient of the construction is the notion of skew brace.

This work investigates the existence of complex structures on 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras arising from finite graphs. We introduce the notion of adapted complex structure, namely a complex structure that maps vertices and edges of the…

In this note, I propose the following conjecture: a finite group G is nilpotent if and only if its largest quotient B-group \beta(G) is nilpotent. I give a proof of this conjecture under the additional assumption that G be solvable. I also…

It is known that the pure braid groups are residually torsion-free nilpotent. This property is however widely open for the most obvious generalizations of these groups, like pure Artin groups and like fundamental groups of hyperplane…

We show that the answer to the question in the title is: ``Yes, for finite algebras.''

Let $G$ be a finite $p$-group of order $p^n$. YA. G. Berkovich (Journal of Algebra {\bf 144}, 269-272 (1991)) proved that $G$ is elementary abelian $p$-group if and only if the order of its Schur multiplier, $M(G)$, is at the maximum case.…

We show that homologically trivial algebraic cycles on a 3-dimensional abelian variety are smash-nilpotent.

We consider associative algebras over a field. An algebra variety is said to be {\em Lie nilpotent} if it satisfies a polynomial identity of the kind $[x_1, x_2, ..., x_n] = 0$ where $[x_1,x_2] = x_1x_2 - x_2x_1$ and $[x_1, x_2, ..., x_n]$…

The non-abelian flat directions in the tachyon potential of stable non-BPS branes recently found are shown to persist to all orders in alpha' at tree level in the string coupling. We also obtain the non-abelian Born-Infeld action including…

The main goal of the paper is to present a general model theoretic framework to understand a result of Shalev on probabilistically finite nilpotent groups. We prove that a suitable group where the equation $[x_1,\ldots,x_k]=1$ holds on a…

In this note, we prove a lower bound for the positive kinkiness of a closed braid which we then use to derive an estimate for the positive kinkiness of a link in terms of its Seifert system. As an application, we show that certain pretzel…

This paper deals with singularities of closures of $2$-nilpotent Borel conjugacy classes in either a $\text{GL}_n$-conjugacy class or in the nilpotent cone of $\text{GL}_n$. In the latter case we construct a resolution of singularities, in…

In this paper, we first study properties of the lower central chains for Novikov algebras. Then we show that for every Lie nilpotent Novikov algebra~$\mathcal{N}$, the ideal of~$\mathcal{N}$ generated by the set~$\{ab - ba\mid a, b\in…

Let $A$ be a brace of cardinality $p^{n}$ where $p>n+1$ is prime, and let $ann (p^{2})$ be the set of elements of additive order at most $p^{2}$ in this brace. We construct a pre-Lie ring related to the brace $A/ann(p^{2})$. In the case of…
