We consider linear groups which do not contain unipotent elements of infinite order, which includes all linear groups in positive characteristic, and show that this class of groups has good properties which resemble those held by groups of…

Let $q$ be an odd prime power, $n > 1$, and let $P$ denote a maximal parabolic subgroup of $GL_n(q)$ with Levi subgroup $GL_{n-1}(q) \times GL_1(q)$. We restrict the odd-degree irreducible characters of $GL_n(q)$ to $P$ to discover a…

We characterise acylindrical hyperbolicity of a group in terms of properties of an action of the group on a set (without any extra structure). In particular, this applies to the action of the group on itself by left multiplication, as well…

We study three related homological properties of modules in the BGG category O for basic classical Lie superalgebras, with specific focus on the general linear superalgebra. These are the projective dimension, associated variety and…

Fix $n\geq 5$ general points $p_1, \dots, p_n\in\mathbb{P}^1$, and a weight vector $\mathcal{A} = (a_{1}, \dots, a_{n})$ of real numbers $0 \leq a_{i} \leq 1$. Consider the moduli space $\mathcal{M}_{\mathcal{A}}$ parametrizing rank two…

We give a classification of maximal elements of the set of finite groups that can be realized as the full automorphism groups of simple polarized abelian fourfolds over finite fields. As an application, we compute the Jordan constants of…

Except for blocks with a cyclic or Klein four defect group, it is not known in general whether the Morita equivalence class of a block algebra over a field of prime characteristic determines that of the corresponding block algebra over a…

We investigate PBW deformations H of k[x,y]#G where G is the cyclic group of order p and k also has characteristic p; in these deformations, [x,y] takes a value in kG. These algebras are versions of symplectic reflection algebras that only…

We show that properties $F_n$ and $FP_n$ hold for a relatively hyperbolic group if and only if they hold for all the peripheral subgroups. As an application we show that there are at least countably many distinct quasi-isometry classes of…

Let $H$ be a permutation group on a set $\Lambda$, which is permutationally isomorphic to a finite alternating or symmetric group $A_n$ or $S_n$ acting on the $k$-element subsets of points from $\{1,\ldots,n\}$, for some arbitrary but fixed…

We give a combinatorial formula for the character of a finite-dimensional irreducible representation of the periplectic Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{p}(n)$. The character of irreducible module $L(\mu)$ is given by a cancellation-free…

We show that superreflexivity can be characterized in terms of bilipschitz embeddability of word hyperbolic groups. We compare characterizations of superreflexivity in terms of diamond graphs and binary trees. We show that there exist…

Let $R$ be an affine algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$ with dim$(R)=n$. Let $P$ be a projective $A=R[T_1,\cdots,T_k]$-module of rank $n$ with determinant $L$. Suppose $I$ is an ideal of $A$ of height $n$ such…

Many examples of rank two bundles on ${\bf P}^4$ are constructed in positive characteristic. Construction depends on constructing certain special bundles on ${\bf P}^3$ which is shown to be equivalent to constructing bundles on ${\bf P}^4$…

Let $p$ be a prime number. We consider diagonal $p$-permutation functors over a (commutative, unital) ring $\mathsf{R}$ in which all prime numbers different from $p$ are invertible. We first determine the finite groups $G$ for which the…

Let K be a field of characteristic zero, n>4 an integer, f(x) an irreducible polynomial over K of degree n, whose Galois group is doubly transitive simple non-abelian group. Let p be an odd prime, Z[\zeta_p] the ring of integers in the p-th…

Even with the introduction of supercharacter theories, the representation theory of many unipotent groups remains mysterious. This paper constructs a family of supercharacter theories for normal pattern groups in a way that exhibit many of…

This paper has two main parts. Firstly, we give a classification of the $\ell$-blocks of finite special linear and unitary groups $SL_n(\epsilon q)$ in the non-defining characteristic $\ell\ge 3$. Secondly, we describe how the…

Let $\lambda$ be a symplectic partition, denote Jord^{bp}($\lambda$) the set of even positive integers i which appear in $\lambda$, and let a map $\epsilon:Jord^{bp}(\lambda) \to {\pm 1}$. The generalized Springer's correspondence…

Let $p$ be a prime. A $p$-group $G$ is defined to be semi-extraspecial if for every maximal subgroup $N$ in $Z(G)$ the quotient $G/N$ is a an extraspecial group. In addition, we say that $G$ is ultraspecial if $G$ is semi-extraspecial and…
