Totally symmetric sets are a recently introduced tool for studying homomorphisms between groups. In this paper, we give full classifications of totally symmetric sets in certain families of groups and bound their sizes in others. As a…

Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for a prime Noetherian algebra K[S] of a submonoid S of a polycyclic-by-finite group G to be a maximal order. These conditions are entirely in terms of the monoid S. This extends earlier results…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $R$ be a commutative ring. The Mackey algebra $\mu_{R}(G)$ shares a lot of properties with the group algebra $RG$ however, there are some differences. For example, the group algebra is a symmetric algebra and…

We study blocks of the double covers of symmetric and alternating groups. The main result is a `local' description, up to Morita equivalence, of arbitrary defect RoCK blocks of these groups in terms of generalized Schur superalgebras…

A totally symmetric set is a subset of a group such that every permutation of the subset can be realized by conjugation in the group. The (non-)existence of large totally symmetric sets obstruct homomorphisms, so bounds on the sizes of…

For the Schur superalgebra $S=S(m|n,r)$ over a ground field $K$ of characteristic zero, we define symmetrizers $T^{\lambda}[i:j]$ of the ordered pairs of tableaux $T_i, T_j$ of the shape $\lambda$ and show that the $K$-span $A_{\lambda,K}$…

In this paper we study finite monoids M such that the group algebras over a domain R for all Schutzenberger groups of M are cell algebras. We show that for any such M the monoid algebra A over R has a standard cell algebra structure. Using…

Let $S,T$ be two numerical semigroups. We study when $S$ is one half of $T$, with $T$ almost symmetric. If we assume that the type of $T$, $t(T)$, is odd, then for any $S$ there exist infinitely many such $T$ and we prove that $1 \leq t(T)…

In the first part of this paper we study a best approximation of a vector in Euclidean space R^n with respect to a closed semi-algebraic set C and a given semi-algebraic norm. Assuming that the given norm and its dual norm are…

In this paper, we introduce Schur elements for supersymmetrizing superalgebras. We show that the cyclotomic Hecke-Clifford algebra $\mathcal{H}^f_{c}(n)$ is supersymmetric if $f=f^{(\mathtt{0})}_{\underline{Q}}$ and, symmetric if…

This paper concerns the notion of a symmetric algebra and its generalization to a quasi-symmetric algebra. We study the structure of these algebras in respect to their hull-kernel regularity and existence of some ideals, especially the…

Let V be a rank N vector bundle on a d-dimensional complex projective scheme X; assume that V is equipped with a skew-symmetric bilinear form with values in a line bundle L and that \Lambda^2 V^* \otimes L is ample. Suppose that the maximum…

In this paper, we obtain the explicit expression of the supersymmetric algebra associated with the recently proposed massive supermembrane including all surface terms. We formulate the theory as the limit of a supermembrane on a genus-two…

Green and Schroll give an easy criterion for a monomial algebra $A$ to be quasi-hereditary with respect to some partial order $\leq_A$. A natural follow-up question is under which conditions a monomial quasi-hereditary algebra $(A, \leq_A)$…

Let $\mathfrak g$ be a finite-dimensional Lie algebra. The symmetric algebra $\mathcal S(\mathfrak g)$ is equipped with the standard Lie-Poisson bracket. In this paper, we elaborate on a surprising observation that one naturally associates…

We detect topological semigroups that are topological paragroups, i.e., are isomorphic to a Rees product of a topological group over topological spaces with a continuous sandwich function. We prove that a simple topological semigroup $S$ is…

Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and ${P_n=K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]}$ the polynomial ring. Any $K$-derivation $D$ on $P_n$ is of the form ${ D=\sum_{i=1}^n f_i(x_1,\ldots,x_n)\frac{\partial}{\partial x_i} },$ where…

Turner's Conjecture describes all blocks of symmetric groups and Hecke algebras up to derived equivalence in terms of certain double algebras. With a view towards a proof of this conjecture, we develop a general theory of Turner doubles. In…

For $ k \in \mathbb{N}$ we introduce an idempotent subalgebra, the spherical partition algebra ${\mathcal{SP} }_{k}$, of the partition algebra ${\mathcal{P} }_{k}$, that we define using an embedding associated with the trivial…

A totally symmetric set is a finite subset of a group for which any permutation of the elements can be realized by conjugation in the ambient group. Such sets are rigid under homomorphisms, and so exert a great deal of control over the…
