We study the essential dimension of the set of isometry classes of $m$-tuples $(\varphi_1,...,\varphi_m)$ of quadratic $n$-fold Pfister forms over a field $F$ such that the Witt class of $\varphi_1 \perp \ldots \perp \varphi_m$ lies in…

To a finite group $G$, one can associate several notions of dimensions (or degrees). In this survey, we attempt to bring together some of the notions of dimensions or degrees defined using representations of the group in General Linear…

In this paper, we study the proportion of vanishing elements of finite groups. We show that the proportion of vanishing elements of every finite non-abelian group is bounded below by $1/2$ and classify all finite groups whose proportions of…

The representation dimension of a finite group $G$ is the minimal dimension of a faithful complex linear representation of $G$. We prove that the representation dimension of any finite group $G$ is at most $\sqrt{|G|}$ except if $G$ is a…

The Cremona dimension of a group $G$ is the minimal $n$ such that $G$ is isomorphic to a subgroup of the Cremona group of birational transformations of an $n$-dimensional rational variety. In this survey article, we give many examples that…

Let k be a base field, K be a field containing k and L/K be a field extension of degree n. The essential dimension ed(L/K) over k is a numerical invariant measuring "the complexity" of L/K. Of particular interest is $\tau$(n) = max {…

We determine the essential dimension of an arbitrary semisimple group of type $B$ of the form \[G=\big(\operatorname{\mathbf{Spin}}(2n_{1}+1)\times\cdots \times \operatorname{\mathbf{Spin}}(2n_{m}+1)\big)/\boldsymbol{\mu}\] over a field of…

We give an efficient algorithm for the enumeration up to isomorphism of the inverse semigroups of order n, and we count the number S(n) of inverse semigroups of order n<=15. This improves considerably on the previous highest-known value…

The commutativity degree of a finite group is the probability that two randomly chosen group elements commute. The main object of this paper is to obtain a characterization for all finite groups of odd order with commutativity degree…

A recurring theme in finite group theory is understanding how the structure of a finite group is determined by the arithmetic properties of group invariants. There are results in the literature determining the structure of finite groups…

In this paper, we study the essential dimension of classes of central simple algebras with involutions of index less or equal to 4. Using structural theorems for simple algebras with involutions, we obtain the essential dimension of…

We consider the dimensions of finite type of representations of a partially ordered set, i.e. such that there is only finitely many isomorphism classes of representations of this dimension. We give a criterion for a dimension to be of…

The representation dimension of a finite group G is the smallest positive integer m for which there exists an embedding of G in GL_m(C). In this paper we find the largest value of representation dimensions, as Granges over all groups of…

For every natural number $n$, there exist finitely presented groups with residual finiteness depths $\omega\cdot n$ and $\omega\cdot n + 1$. The ordinals that arise as the residual finiteness depth of a finitely generated group…

We introduce a discrete deformation of Rieffel type for finite (quantum) groups. Using this, we give a non-trivial example of a finite quantum group of order 18. We also give a deformation of finite groups of Lie type by using their maximal…

Given a finite group $G$, we denote by $L(G)$ the subgroup lattice of $G$ and by ${\cal CD}(G)$ the Chermak-Delgado lattice of $G$. In this note, we determine the finite groups $G$ such that $|{\cal CD}(G)|=|L(G)|-k$, $k=1,2$.

It is proven that if a finitely presented group is one ended it has asymptotic dimension bigger than one. It follows that finitely presented groups with asdim 1 are virtually free. A counterexample is given for the finitely generated case.

We give examples of finite quantum permutation groups which arise from the twisting construction or as bicrossed products associated to exact factorizations in finite groups. We also give examples of finite quantum groups which are not…

An unrefinable chain of a finite group $G$ is a chain of subgroups $G = G_0 > G_1 > \cdots > G_t = 1$, where each $G_i$ is a maximal subgroup of $G_{i-1}$. The length (respectively, depth) of $G$ is the maximal (respectively, minimal)…

We prove that any finitely generated one ended group has linear end depth. Moreover, we give alternative proofs to theorems relating the growth of a finitely generated group to the number of its ends.
