Call a compact, connected, simple Lie group $G$ {\emph{adjoint simple}} if it has trivial center. Let $C\subset G$ be a nontrivial conjugacy class, $e\in G$ the identity element of $G$. We prove the existence of an $N\in\mathbb{N}$,…
We explore finitely generated groups by studying the nilpotent towers and the various Lie algebras attached to such groups. Our main goal is to relate an isomorphism extension problem in the Postnikov tower to the existence of certain…
A nilpotent quandle is a quandle whose inner automorphism group is nilpotent. Such quandles have been called reductive in previous works, but it turns out that their behaviour is in fact very close to nilpotency for groups. In particular,…
In 1999 V. Ivanov and S. Kerov observed that structure constants of algebras of conjugacy classes of symmetric groups $S_n$ admit a stabilization (in a non-obvious sense) as $n\to \infty$. We extend their construction to a class of pairs of…
In this paper and its sequel we continue our study of nilpotent symplectic alternating algebras. In particular we give a full classification of such algebras of dimension $10$ over any field. It is known that symplectic alternating algebras…
Many results have been established that show how the number of conjugacy classes appearing in the product of classes affect the structure of a finite group. The aim of this paper is to show several results about solvability concerning the…
We classify finite-dimensional Nichols algebras over finite nilpotent groups of odd order in group-theoretical terms. The main step is to show that the conjugacy classes of such finite groups are either abelian or of type C; this property…
We prove various properties on the structure of groups whose power graph is chordal. Nilpotent groups with this property have been classified by Manna, Cameron and Mehatari [The Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 2021]. Here we classify…
It is known that that the centralizer of a matrix over a finite field depends, up to conjugacy, only on the type of the matrix, in the sense defined by J. A. Green. In this paper an analogue of the type invariant is defined that in general…
A celebrated result of J. Thompson says that if a finite group $G$ has a fixed-point-free automorphism of prime order, then $G$ is nilpotent. The main purpose of this note is to extend this result to finite inverse semigroups. An earlier…
In this paper, we determine the structure of the nilpotent multipliers of all pairs $(G,N)$ of finitely generated abelian groups where $N$ admits a complement in $G$. Moreover, some inequalities for the nilpotent multipliers of pairs of…
We offer in this note a self-contained proof of the fact that a finitely generated group is not virtually nilpotent if and only if it has a quotient with the infinite conjugacy class (ICC) propoerty. This proof is a modern presentation of…
A nilmanifold is a quotient of a nilpotent group $G$ by a co-compact discrete subgroup. A complex nilmanifold is one which is equipped with a $G$-invariant complex structure. We prove that a complex nilmanifold has trivial canonical bundle.…
Let G be a unipotent algebraic group over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p > 0 and let l be a prime different from p. Let e be a minimal idempotent in D_G(G), the braided monoidal category of G-equivariant (under…
We describe the primitive central idempotents of the group algebra over a number field of finite monomial groups. We give also a description of the Wedderburn decomposition of the group algebra over a number field for finite strongly…
Let $G$ be a finite group and $N$ a proper, nontrivial, normal subgroup of $G$. If, for every element $x$ of $G$ not lying in $N$, the elements in the coset $xN$ all have the same order as $x$, then we say that $(G,N)$ is an {\it{equal…
Around 1980 commutator theory was generalized from groups to arbitrary algebras using the socalled term condition commutator. The semigroups that are abelian with respect to this commutator were classified by Warne (1994). We study what…
We prove simplicity for incomplete rank 2 Kac-Moody groups over algebraic closures of finite fields with trivial commutation relations between root groups corresponding to prenilpotent pairs. We don't use the (yet unknown) simplicity of the…
We construct a model structure on the category of ordered simplicial complexes, Quillen equivalent to the standard model structure on simplicial sets. This shows that simplicial complexes, which are fully combinatorial in nature, provide a…
The object of this paper is to examine finite solvable groups whose integral group rings have only trivial central units.
