Let $G$ be a finite group, $N(G)$ be the set of conjugacy classes of the group $G$. In the present paper it is proved $G\simeq L$ if $N(G)=N(L)$, where $G$ is a finite group with trivial center and $L$ is a finite simple group of…

Let $X=G/\Gamma$ be the quotient of a semisimple Lie group $G$ by its non-cocompact arithmetic lattice. Let $H$ be a reductive algebraic subgroup of $G$ acting on $X$. We give several equivalent algebraic conditions on $H$ for the existence…

In this paper we study ideas which have proved useful in topological network theory in the context of lattices of numbers. A number lattice $L_S$ is a collection of row vectors, over $\mathbb{Q}$ on a finite column set $S,$ generated by…

Let $G$ be a finite $\pi$-separable group, where $\pi$ is a set of primes, and let $\chi$ be an irreducible complex character that is a $\pi$-lift of some $\pi$-partial character of $G$.It was proved by Cossey and Lewis that all of the…

A left almost semigroup (LA-semigroup) or an Abel-Grassmann's groupoid (AG-groupoid) is investigated in several papers. In this paper we have discussed ideals in LA-semigroups. Specifically, we have shown that every ideal in an LA-semigroup…

We produce an example of an irreducible discrete subgroup in the product $SL(2,\R)\times SL(2,\R)$ which is not a lattice. This answers a question asked in [15].

For a partially ordered set P, we denote by Co(P) the lattice of order-convex subsets of P. We find three new lattice identities, (S), (U), and (B), such that the following result holds. Theorem. Let L be a lattice. Then L embeds into some…

For a finitely generated group $G$ and collection of subgroups $\mathcal{P}$ we prove that the relative Dehn function of a pair $(G,\mathcal{P})$ is invariant under quasi-isometry of pairs. Along the way we show quasi-isometries of pairs…

We study smooth actions by lattices in higher-rank simple Lie groups. Assuming one element of the action acts with positive topological entropy, we prove a number of new rigidity results. For lattices in $\mathrm{SL}(n,\mathbb{R})$ acting…

An even unimodular 72-dimensional lattice $\Gamma $ having minimum 8 is constructed as a tensor product of the Barnes lattice and the Leech lattice over the ring of integers in the imaginary quadratic number field with discriminant $-7$.…

If Gamma is a nonuniform, irreducible lattice in a semisimple Lie group whose real rank is greater than 1, we show Gamma contains a subgroup that is isomorphic to a nonuniform, irreducible lattice in either SL(3,R), SL(3,C), or a direct…

In this article we prove a conjecture of A. Lubotzky: let G = G_0(K), where K is a local field of characteristic p>5, G_0 is a simply connected, absolutely almost simple K-group of K-rank at least 2. We give the rate of growth of r_x(G)…

In this note we study in a finite dimensional Lie algebra ${\mathfrak g}$ the set of all those elements x for which the closed convex hull of the adjoint orbit contains no affine lines; this contains in particular elements whose adjoint…

If $G$ is a semisimple Lie group of real rank at least 2 and $\Gamma$ is an irreducible lattice in $G$, then every homomorphism from $\Gamma$ to the outer automorphism group of a finitely generated free group has finite image.

A pair $(A,B)$ of square $(0,1)$-matrices is called a \emph{Lehman pair} if $AB^T=J+kI$ for some integer $k\in\{-1,1,2,3,\ldots\}$. In this case $A$ and $B$ are called \emph{Lehman matrices}. This terminology arises because Lehman showed…

This is an unpublished manuscript written in 1983-4. It contains several results about lattices (=integral quadratic forms) including the classification of the unimodular lattices in dimensions up to 25 and the construction of unimodular…

We study the existence of cocompact lattices in Lie groups with bi-invariant metric of signature $(2,n-2)$. We assume in addition that the Lie groups under consideration are simply-connected, indecomposable and solvable. Then their centre…

We show that S-arithmetic lattices in semisimple Lie groups with no rank one factors are quasi-isometrically rigid.

For a Lie group $G=\R^{n}\ltimes_{\phi}\R^{m}$ with the semi-simple action $\phi:\R^{n}\to {\rm Aut}(\R^{m})$, we show that if $\Gamma$ is a finite extension of a lattice of $G$ then $K(\Gamma, 1)$ is formal. Moreover we show that a compact…

Given two nonempty subsets $A, B$ of a group $G$, they are said to form a co-minimal pair if $A \cdot B = G$, and $A' \cdot B \subsetneq G$ for any $\emptyset \neq A' \subsetneq A$ and $A\cdot B' \subsetneq G$ for any $\emptyset \neq B'…
