An $S$-ring (a Schur ring) is said to be separable with respect to a class of groups $\mathcal{K}$ if every its algebraic isomorphism to an $S$-ring over a group from $\mathcal{K}$ is induced by a combinatorial isomorphism. We prove that…
In this paper, we continue the enumeration of Schur rings over cyclic groups. Cyclic groups of semiprime order $pq$, where $p$ and $q$ are distinct primes, are considered. Additionally, cyclic groups of order $4p$ are considered.
In this paper, we explore the nature of central idempotents of Schur rings over finite groups. We introduce the concept of a lattice Schur ring and explore properties of these kinds of Schur rings. In particular, the primitive, central…
This paper gives an explicit argument to show strong boundedness for ${\rm Sp}_{2n}(R)$ for $R$ a ring of S-algebraic integers or a semi-local ring. This gives a quantitative version of a related abstract result in a previous paper of the…
We classify the connected Lie subgroups of the symplectic group $Sp(2,\mathbb{R})$ whose elements are matrices in block lower triangular form. The classification is up to conjugation within $Sp(2,\mathbb{R})$. Their study is motivated by…
In this paper, we shall show that the only primitive Schur ring over a semi dihedral group is the trivial one and every semi dihedral subgroup is Burnside group, that is a primitive group containing a regular subgroup isomorphic to the semi…
Let $G$ be a finite group. If $\Gamma$ is a permutation group with $G_{right}\leq\Gamma\leq Sym(G)$ and $\mathcal{S}$ is the set of orbits of the stabilizer of the identity $e=e_{G}$ in $\Gamma$, then the $\mathbb{Z}$-submodule…
In this article we describe the 2-cocycles, Schur multiplier and representation group of discrete Heisenberg groups over the unital rings of order $p^2$. We describe all projective representations of Heisenberg groups with entries from the…
Recently, it was proved that every commutative $p$-Schur ring over a group of order $p^3$ is Schurian. In this article, we consider the Schurity problem of non-commutative $p$-Schur rings over groups of order $p^3$. In particular, it is…
In this article, we investigate the Schur multiplier of the special linear group $\mathrm{SL}_2(A)$ over finite commutative local rings $A$. We prove that the Schur multiplier of these groups is isomorphic to the $K$-group $K_2(A)$ whenever…
We examine the orbits of the (complex) symplectic group, $Sp_n$, on the flag manifold, $\mathscr{F}\ell(\mathbb{C}^{2n})$, in a very concrete way. We use two approaches: we Gr\"obner degenerate the orbits to unions of Schubert varieties…
For any odd prime $p$ we consider representations of a group of order $p$ in the symplectic group $Sp(p-1,Z[1/n])$ of $(p-1)\times(p-1)$-matrices over the ring $Z[1/n]$, $0\neq n\in N$. We construct a relation between the conjugacy classes…
The recently developed theory of Schur rings over a finite cyclic group is generalized to Schur rings over a ring R being a product of Galois rings of coprime characteristics. It is proved that if the characteristic of R is odd, then as in…
The elementary action of symplectic and orthogonal groups on unimodular rows of length $2n$ is transitive for $2n \geq \max(4, d+2)$ in the symplectic case, and $2n \geq \max(6, 2d+4)$ in the orthogonal case, over monoid rings $R[M]$, where…
For a positive integer $g$, let $\mathrm{Sp}_{2g}(R)$ denote the group of $2g \times 2g$ symplectic matrices over a ring $R$. Assume $g \ge 2$. For a prime number $\ell$, we give a self-contained proof that any closed subgroup of…
We solve a classical problem of centrality of symplectic $\mathrm K_2$, namely we show that for an arbitrary commutative ring $R$, $l\geq3$ the symplectic Steinberg group $\mathrm{StSp}(2l,\,R)$ as an extension of the elementary symplectic…
We determine the conjugacy classes of semisimple elements in the symplectic groups ${\rm Sp}(2m,F)$, where $F$ is an arbitrary field of characteristic not $2$. This note was originally a letter dated 23 March, 2006, from G.E. Wall to Cheryl…
In this paper we prove a sandwich classification theorem for subgroups of the classical symplectic group over an arbitrary commutative ring $R$ that contain the elementary block-diagonal (or subsystem) subgroup $\operatorname{Ep}(\nu, R)$…
Let $A$ be a ring with $1\neq 0$, not necessarily finite, endowed with an involution~$*$, that is, an anti-automorphism of order $\leq 2$. Let $H_n(A)$ be the additive group of all $n\times n$ hermitian matrices over $A$ relative to $*$.…
We show that for n>=3 the symplectic group Sp(n) is as a 2-compact group determined up to isomorphism by the isomorphism type of its maximal torus normalizer. This allows us to determine the integral homotopy type of Sp(n) among connected…
