Group contraction is an algebraic map that relates two classes of Lie groups by a limiting process. We utilize this notion for the compactification of the class of Cartan motion groups. The compactification process is then applied to reduce…

We give a constructive treatment of some basic concepts and results in semigroup theory. Focusing on semigroups equipped with an apartness relation, we give analogues, from the point of view of apartness, of several classical constructions…

We present some results from classical homological algebra using the language of cotorsion theories in abelian categories. The results are a couple of foundational facts about homological dimension, the Kunneth formula and the universal…

We perform a general study of the structure of locally compact modules over compactly generated abelian groups. We obtain a devissage result for such modules of the form "compact-by-sheer-by-discrete", and then study more specifically the…

We consider abelain subgroups of small index in finite groups. More generally, we consider subgroups such that the product of their index by the index of their centralizer is small.

In this article we aim to develop from first principles a theory of sum sets and partial sum sets, which are defined analogously to difference sets and partial difference sets. We obtain non-existence results and characterisations. In…

The celebrated Fefferman's theorems on the general form of linear functionals on the Hardy space $H^1$ over the circle group is generalized to the case of an arbitrary compact Abelian group with totally ordered dual. Several corollaries…

A locally compact contraction group is a pair (G,f) where G is a locally compact group and f an automorphism of G which is contractive in the sense that the forward orbit under f of each g in G converges to the neutral element e, as n tends…

We continue in this paper the study of locally minimal groups started in \cite{LocMin}. The minimality criterion for dense subgroups of compact groups is extended to local minimality. Using this criterion we characterize the compact abelian…

We propose various problems about Borel complexity of characterized subgroups of compact abelian groups, inspired by our forthcoming paper \cite{DI3}.

In this paper we consider the existence of dense embeddings of Limit groups in locally compact groups generalizing earlier work of Breuillard, Gelander, Souto and Storm [GBSS] where surface groups were considered. Our main results are…

This exposition begins with a systematic account of the theory of group schemes, ultimately specializing to algebraic tori.

We compare finiteness properties of locally compact groups that generalize the properties of being compactly generated and of being compactly presented. Three such families of properties have been proposed: Abels--Tiemeyer's type $C_n$,…

We generalize the results from "P. Lipparini, Productive $[\lambda,\mu]$-compactness and regular ultrafilters, Topology Proceedings, 21 (1996), 161--171"; in particular the present results apply to singular cardinals, too.

We investigate some effects of the lack of compactness in the critical Sobolev embedding in the Heisenberg group.

We prove a compactness result with respect to $\Gamma$-convergence for a class of integral functionals which are expressed as a sum of a local and a non-local term. The main feature is that, under our hypotheses, the local part of the…

We study group extensions of Finite Abelian Groups using matrices. We also prove a Theorem for equivalence of extensions using matrices.

In this paper we obtain the Wedderburn-Artin decomposition of a semisimple group algebra associated to a direct product of finite groups. We also provide formulae for the number of all possible group codes, and their dimensions, that can be…

We consider a class K of structures e.g. trees with omega +1 levels, metric spaces and mainly, classes of Abelian groups like the one mentioned in the title and the class of reduced separable (Abelian) p-groups. We say M in K is universal…

The main results of this paper are generalizations some classical theorems about transversals for families of finite sets to some cases of families of infinite sets.
