This paper studies the asymptotic behavior of eigenvalues of random abelian G-circulant matrices, that is, matrices whose structure is related to a finite abelian group G in a way that naturally generalizes the relationship between…

This paper extends and applies algebraic invariants and constructions for mixing finite group extensions of shifts of finite type. For a finite abelian group G, Parry showed how to define a G-extension S_A from a square matrix A over Z_+G,…

We provide a coherent picture of our efforts thus far in extending real algebra and its links to the theory of quadratic forms over ordered fields in the noncommutative direction, using hermitian forms and "ordered" algebras with…

Let $W$ be an $n$-dimensional vector space over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of any characteristic and $mW$ denote the direct sum of $m$ copies of $W$. Let $\mathbb{F}_q[mW]^{{\rm GL}(W)}$ and $\mathbb{F}_q(mW)^{{\rm GL}(W)}$ denote the…

Let $G\cong \mathbb Z/m_1\mathbb Z\times\ldots\times \mathbb Z/m_r\mathbb Z$ be a finite abelian group with $m_1\mid\ldots\mid m_r=\exp(G)$. The Kemperman Structure Theorem characterizes all subsets $A,\,B\subseteq G$ satisfying…

This paper provides a bridge between two active areas of research, the spectrum (set of element orders) and the power graph of a finite group. The order sequence of a finite group $G$ is the list of orders of elements of the group, arranged…

Let $G$ be a finite abelian group and let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. We consider associative unital algebras $A$ over $K$ graded by $G$, that is $A=\oplus_{g\in G} A_g$, where the vector subspaces $A_g$…

Let $G$ be a finite group. A finite unordered sequence $S = g_1 \boldsymbol{\cdot} \ldots \boldsymbol{\cdot} g_{\ell}$ of terms from $G$, where repetition is allowed, is a product-one sequence if its terms can be ordered such that their…

We prove for residually finite groups the following long standing conjecture: the number of twisted conjugacy classes of an automorphism of a finitely generated group is equal (if it is finite) to the number of finite dimensional…

We study properties of the realizations of groups as the combinatorial automorphism group of a convex polytope. We show that for any non-abelian group $G$ with a central involution there is a centrally symmetric polytope with $G$ as its…

We will show that every element of a finitely generated abelian group is automorphically equivalent what we will define to be a {\em representative element} in a {\em repeat-free subgroup}, and for finite abelian groups we can count the…

Let $G=(\mathbb Z/n\mathbb Z) \oplus (\mathbb Z/n\mathbb Z)$. Let $\mathsf {s}_{\leq k}(G)$ be the smallest integer $\ell$ such that every sequence of $\ell$ terms from $G$, with repetition allowed, has a nonempty zero-sum subsequence with…

The purpose of this paper is to study the phenomenon of large intersections in the framework of multiple recurrence for measure-preserving actions of countable abelian groups. Among other things, we show: (1) If $G$ is a countable abelian…

We prove that for any fixed unitary matrix $U$, any abelian self-adjoint algebra of matrices that is invariant under conjugation by $U$ can be embedded into a maximal abelian self-adjoint algebra that is still invariant under conjugation by…

An involution of a real commutative algebra $A$ is a real-linear homomorphism $f : A \rightarrow A$ such that $f^2 = \mathrm{Id}$. We show that there are six involutions of the algebra of bicomplex numbers, contrary to the actual number of…

Let $G={\rm Spec} A$ be a linearly reductive group and let $w_G\in A^*$ be the invariant integral on $G$. We establish the harmonic analysis on $G$ and we compute $w_G$ when $G=Sl_n, Gl_n, O_n, Sp_{2n}$ by geometric arguments and by means…

For $G$ a finite group, one way to construct irreducible quandle representations over $\mathbb{C}$ of the conjugacy quandle $Conj(G)$ is by taking the product of an irreducible linear group representation of $G$ by what we call a quandle…

In this paper we construct inverse bijections between two sequences of finite sets. One sequence is defined by planar diagrams and the other by lattice walks. G. Kuperberg has shown that the number of elements in these two sets are equal.…
