In this paper, we introduce several notions of "dimension" of a finite group, involving sizes of generating sets and certain configurations of maximal subgroups. We focus on the inequality $m(G) \leq \mathrm{MaxDim}(G)$, giving a family of…

A partial group with $n+1$ elements is, when regarded as a symmetric simplicial set, of dimension at most $n$. This dimension is $n$ if and only if the partial group is a group. As a consequence of the first statement, finite partial groups…

Using the description of the Frobenius limit of modules over the ring of invariants under an action of a finite group on a polynomial ring over a field of characteristic $p>0$ developed by Symonds and the author, we give a characterization…

The Weil representation of the symplectic group associated to a finite abelian group of odd order is shown to have a multiplicity-free decomposition. When the abelian group is p-primary, the irreducible representations occurring in the Weil…

We give new upper bounds for the diameters of finite groups which do not depend on a choice of generating set. Our method exploits the commutator structure of certain profinite groups, in a fashion analogous to the Solovay-Kitaev procedure…

We describe all closed permutation groups which act on the set of vectors of a countable vector space $V$ over a prime field of odd order and which contain all automorphisms of $V$. In particular, we prove that their number is finite. These…

A general theory of permutation orbifolds is developed for arbitrary twist groups. Explicit expressions for the number of primaries, the partition function, the genus one characters, the matrix elements of modular transformations and for…

We prove that, up to adding a complement, every modular representation of a finite group admits a finite resolution by permutation modules.

We define and study a new numerical invariant of an algebraic group action which we call the canonical dimension. We then apply the resulting theory to the problem of computing the minimal number of parameters required to define a generic…

The covering radius of permutation group codes are studied in this paper with $l_{\infty}$-metric. We determine the covering radius of the $(p,q)$-type group, which is a direct product of two cyclic transitive groups. We also deduce the…

We give, in Sections 2 and 3, an english translation of: {\it Classes g\'en\'eralis\'ees invariantes}, J. Math. Soc. Japan, 46, 3 (1994), with some improvements and with notations and definitions in accordance with our book: {\it Class…

We obtain an asymptotic upper bound for the product of the $p$-parts of the orders of certain composition factors of a finite group acting completely reducibly and faithfully on a finite vector space of order divisible by a prime $p$. An…

We propose a notion of Frobenius-Perron dimension for certain free $\mathbb{Z}$-modules of infinite rank and compute it for the $\mathbb{Z}$-modules of finite dimensional complex representations of unitary groups with nonnegative dominant…

In a previous paper we investigated the centraliser dimension of groups. In the current paper we study properties of centraliser dimension for the class of free partially commutative groups and, as a corollary, we obtain an efficient…

Let $B$ be a block algebra of a group algebra $FG$ of a finite group $G$ over a field $F$ of characteristic $p>0$. This paper studies ring theoretic properties of the representation ring $T^\Delta(B,B)$ of perfect $p$-permutation…

In this article it is determined which integral reflection representations of the symmetric groups and the primitive complex reflection groups of degree $2$ have rings of invariants which are isomorphic to polynomial rings.

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…

We prove an upper bound for the number of cyclic transitive subgroups in a finite permutation group and clarify the structure of the groups for which this bound becomes sharp. We also give an application in the theory of number fields.

Bounded-cohomological dimension of groups is a relative of classical cohomological dimension, defined in terms of bounded cohomology with trivial coefficients instead of ordinary group cohomology. We will discuss constructions that lead to…

Generalizing a result in the theory of finite fields we prove that, apart from a couple of exceptions that can be classified, for any elements $a_1,...,a_m$ of the cyclic group of order $m$, there is a permutation $\pi$ such that…
