The behavior of the images of a fixed element of order p in irreducible representations of a classical algebraic group in odd characteristic p with highest weights large enough with respect to p and this element is investigated. Lower…

Let $G$ be a finite almost simple group of Lie type acting faithfully and primitively on a set $\Omega$. We prove an analogue of the Boston--Shalev conjecture for conjugacy classes: the proportion of conjugacy classes of $G$ consisting of…

We study a commutation pattern in which two affine families commute completely across the two families while each family retains internal noncommutativity. For one-dimensional affine groups over finite commutative rings, we prove a…

Let $\mathcal C$ be a set of finite groups which is closed under taking subgroups and let $d$ and $M$ be positive integers. Suppose that for any $G\in\mathcal C$ whose order is divisible by at most two distinct primes there exists an…

The $2$-closure $\overline{G}$ of a permutation group $G$ on $\Omega$ is defined to be the largest permutation group on $\Omega$, having the same orbits on $\Omega\times\Omega$ as $G$. It is proved that if $G$ is supersolvable, then…

For a group $G$, a subgroup $U \leq G$ and a group $\mathrm{Inn}(G) \leq A \leq \mathrm{Aut}(G)$, we say that $U$ is an $A$-covering group of $G$ if $G = \bigcup_{a\in A}U^a$. A theorem of Jordan (1872) implies that if $G$ is a finite…

Given a set $S$ consisting of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and one or two vantage points, we study the number of orderings of $S$ induced by measuring the distance (for one vantage point) or the average distance (for two vantage points)…

We show that a compact group $G$ has finite conjugacy classes, i.e., is an FC-group if and only if its center $Z(G)$ is open if and only if its commutator subgroup $G'$ is finite. Let $d(G)$ denote the Haar measure of the set of all pairs…

Conjugation coactions of the quantum general linear group on the algebra of quantum matrices have been introduced in an earlier paper and the coinvariants have been determined. In this paper the notion of orbit is considered via co-orbit…

Let $f: \{1, ..., n\} \rightarrow \{1, ..., n\}$ be a function (not necessarily one-to-one). An $f-derangement$ is a permutation $ g:\{1,...,n\} \rightarrow \{1,...,n\}$ such that $g(i) \neq f(i)$ for each $ i = 1, ..., n$. When $f$ is…

We investigate the singularly perturbed monotone systems with respect to cones of rank $2$ and obtain the so called Generic Poincar\'{e}-Bendixson theorem for such perturbed systems, that is, for a bounded positively invariant set, there…

The bipartite independence number of a graph $G$, denoted as $\tilde\alpha(G)$, is the minimal number $k$ such that there exist positive integers $a$ and $b$ with $a+b=k+1$ with the property that for any two sets $A,B\subseteq V(G)$ with…

For a permutation group $G$ acting on a set $V$, a subset $I$ of $G$ is said to be an intersecting set if for every pair of elements $g,h\in I$ there exists $v \in V$ such that $g(v) = h(v)$. The intersection density $\rho(G)$ of a…

We refer to $d(G)$ as the minimal cardinality of a generating set of a finite group $G$, and say that $G$ is $d$-generated if $d(G)\leq d$. A transitive permutation group $G$ is called $\frac{3}{2}$-transitive if a point stabilizer…

Let $G$ be a finite group, written multiplicatively. The Davenport constant of $G$ is the smallest positive integer $D(G)$ such that every sequence of $G$ with $D(G)$ elements has a non-empty subsequence with product $1$. Let $D_{2n}$ be…

An interchange ring,(R,+,*)is an abelian group with a second binary operation defined so that the interchange law (x+y)*(u+v)=(x*u)+(y*v)holds. An interchange near ring is the same structure based on a group which may not be abelian. It is…

The purpose of this paper is to prove that if $G$ is a transitive permutation group of degree $n\geq 2$, then $G$ can be generated by $\lfloor cn/\sqrt{\log{n}}\rfloor$ elements, where $c:=\sqrt{3}/2$. Owing to the transitive group…

For some $g \geq 3$, let $\Gamma$ be a finite index subgroup of the mapping class group of a genus $g$ surface (possibly with boundary components and punctures). An old conjecture of Ivanov says that the abelianization of $\Gamma$ should be…

We show that the groupoids of two directed graphs are isomorphic if and only if the two graphs are orbit equivalent by an orbit equivalence that preserves isolated eventually periodic points. We also give a complete description of the…

Let G be a quasisimple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>0. We suppose that p is very good for G; since p is good, there is a bijection between the nilpotent orbits in the Lie algebra and the unipotent…
