Let $R$ be a principal ideal local ring of finite length with a finite residue field of odd characteristic. Let $G(R)$ denote either the general linear group or the general unitary group of degree two over $R$. We study the decomposition of…

Let R be a ring, M a left R-module, I an infinite set, N either the direct sum or product of |I| copies of M, and E the endomorphism ring of N as a left R-module. In this note it is shown that E is not the union of a chain of |I| or fewer…

Let $G$ be an abelian group and $\mathbb{K}$ an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. A. Valenti and M. Zaicev described the $G$-gradings on upper block-triangular matrix algebras provided that $G$ is finite. We prove that…

We consider a finite dimensional $\kk G$-module $V$ of a $p$-group $G$ over a field $\kk$ of characteristic $p$. We describe a generating set for the corresponding Hilbert Ideal. In case $G$ is cyclic this yields that the algebra $\kk[V]_G$…

For a locally compact group $G$, we show that it is possible to present the class of continuous unitary representations of $G$ as an elementary class of metric structures, in the sense of continuous logic. More precisely, we show how…

In Grayson's combinatorial description of higher K-groups, the generators are bounded acyclic binary multi-complexes of arbitrary size. Generalising work by Kasprowski, Winges and the author, we show in this paper that multi-complexes of…

The generalized quantum group $\mathcal{U}(\epsilon)$ of type $A$ is an affine analogue of quantum group associated to a general linear Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{gl}_{M|N}$. We prove that there exists a unique $R$ matrix on tensor product…

Modular tensor categories are generalizations of the representation categories of quantum groups at roots of unity axiomatizing the properties necessary to produce 3-dimensional TQFTs. Although other constructions have since been found,…

If G is a finitely generated group, and A an algebraic group, then Hom(G,A) is a possibly reducible algebraic variety denoted by R_A(G). Here we define the profile function, P_d(R_A(G)), of the representation variety of G over A to be…

Let $G$ and $T$ be topological groups, $\alpha : T \to \Aut(G)$ a homomorphism defining a continuous action of $T$ on $G$ and $G^\sharp := G \rtimes_\alpha T$ the corresponding semidirect product group. In this paper we address several…

We prove two approximations of the open problem of whether the adjoint group of a non-nilpotent nil ring can be finitely generated: We show that the adjoint group of a non-nilpotent Jacobson radical cannot be boundedly generated, and on the…

For a finite abelian group $G$, we compute the $G$-equivariant formal group law corresponding to the $G$-equivariant complex cobordism spectrum with its canonical complex orientation.

We find finite, reasonably small, generator sets of the coordinate rings of G-character varieties of finitely generated groups for all classical groups G. This result together with the method of Grobner basis gives an algorithm for…

We state the generating hypothesis in the homotopy category of G-spectra for a compact Lie group G, and prove that if G is finite, then the generating hypothesis implies the strong generating hypothesis, just as in the non-equivariant case.…

In this paper, we combine the concepts of the fibered Burnside ring and the character ring, viewing them as fibered biset functors, into what we call the global representation fibered ring of a finite group. We compute all ring…

In this note we look at presentations of subgroups of finitely presented groups with infinite cyclic quotients. We prove that if $H$ is a finitely generated normal subgroup of a finitely presented group $G$ with $G/H$ cyclic, then $H$ has…

We prove that there exists a finitely generated group that satisfies a group law with probability 1 but does not satisfy any group law. More precisely, we construct a finitely generated group G in which the probability that a random element…

A group $G$ given by a presentation $G = < \mathcal A \| \mathcal R >$ is called weakly finitely presented if every finitely generated subgroup of $G$, generated by (images of) some words in $\mathcal A^{\pm 1}$, is naturally isomorphic to…

We construct new invariants of equivariant birational isomorphisms taking values in equivariant Burnside groups.

This article is devoted to the investigation of semidirect products of groups of loops and groups of diffeomorphisms of finite and infinte dimensional real, complex and quaternion manifolds. Necessary statements about quaternion manifolds…
