We study the class of groups having the property that every non-nilpotent subgroup is equal to its normalizer. These groups are either soluble or perfect. We completely describe the structure of soluble groups and finite perfect groups with…

We study operators of the form X+Y where Y has a finite p-th Schatten norm (p<2), and X is self-adjoint and of Hilbert-Schmidt class. Our study is based on new theorems on zero distribution of entire functions of finite order.

We compare different algebraic structures in twisted equivariant K-Theory for proper actions of discrete groups. After the construction of a module structure over untwisted equivariant K-Theory, we prove a completion Theorem of Atiyah-Segal…

Freed-Hopkins-Teleman expressed the Verlinde algebra as twisted equivariant K-theory. We study how to recover the full system (fusion algebra of defect lines), nimrep (cylindrical partition function), etc of modular invariant partition…

This is the first of a series of papers where we develop a theory of total positivity for loop groups. In this paper, we completely describe the totally nonnegative part of the polynomial loop group GL_n(\R[t,t^{-1}]), and for the formal…

This paper describes a new link between combinatorial number theory and geometry. The main result states that A is a finite set of relatively prime positive integers if and only if A = (K-K) \cap N, where K is a compact set of real numbers…

Let $K$ be a mixed characteristic complete discrete valuation field with residue field admitting a finite $p$-basis, and let $G_K$ be the Galois group. We first classify semi-stable representations of $G_K$ by weakly admissible filtered…

Let $A$ and $G$ be finite groups such that $A$ acts coprimely on $G$ by automorphisms. For any fixed prime divisor $p$ of $|G|$, we provide a complete characterization of the structure of a group $G$ in which every maximal $A$-invariant…

We study H^*(P), the mod p cohomology of a finite p--group P, viewed as an Out(P)--module. In particular, we study the conjecture, first considered by Martino and Priddy, that, if e_S in Z/p[Out(P)] is a primitive idempotent associated to…

This paper studies "pro-excision" for the K-theory of one-dimensional (usually semi-local) rings and its various applications. In particular, we prove Geller's conjecture for equal characteristic rings over a perfect field of finite…

A number is perfect if it is the sum of its proper divisors; here we call a finite group `perfect' if its order is the sum of the orders of its proper normal subgroups. (This conflicts with standard terminology but confusion should not…

Extending earlier work of Guralnick and of Cai and Zhang, we classify the almost simple groups which have transitive permutation representations of prime power degree $p^k$, and those which have $p$-complements (stabilisers of order coprime…

Endowed with the binary operation of set addition carried over from the integers, the family $\mathcal P_{\mathrm{fin}}(\mathbb Z) $ of all non-empty finite subsets of $\mathbb Z$ forms a monoid whose neutral element is the singleton…

We study conformal actions of connected nilpotent Lie groups on compact pseudo-Riemannian manifolds. We prove that if a type-(p,q) compact manifold M supports a conformal action of a connected nilpotent group H, then the degree of…

Let $K$ be a finite unramified extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$, and $E$ a finite extension of $K$ with ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_E$. We define the overconvergence of multivariable $(\varphi_q,\mathcal{O}_K^{\times})$-modules over…

We introduce {\em admissible collections} for a finite group $G$ and use them to prove that most of the finite classical groups in non-defining characteristic satisfy the {\em Quillen dimension at $p$ property}, a strong version of…

For a positive integer $k$, a group $G$ is said to be totally $k$-closed if in each of its faithful permutation representations, say on a set $\Omega$, $G$ is the largest subgroup of $\operatorname{Sym}(\Omega)$ which leaves invariant each…

Let $G$ be a group and $H \le K \le G$. We say that $H$ is $c$-embedded in $G$ with respect to $K$ if there is a subgroup $B$ of $G$ such that $G = HB$ and $H \cap B \le Z(K)$. Given a finite group $G$, a prime number $p$ and a Sylow…

A perfect isometry is an important relation between blocks of finite groups as many information about blocks are preserved by it. If we consider the group of all perfect isometries between a block to itself then this gives another…

In this paper we interpret the solutions to a particular Galois embedding problem over an extension K/F whose Galois group is a finite, cyclic p group in terms of certain Galois submodules within the parameterizing space of elementary…
