An element of a group is called bireflectional when it is the product of two involutions of the group (i.e. elements of order 1 or 2). If an element is bireflectional then it is conjugated to its inverse. It is known that all elements of…

We consider birack and switch colorings of braids. We define a switch structure on the set of permutation representations of the braid group and consider when such a representation is a switch automorphism. We define quiver-valued…

Let H be a homology theory for algebraic varieties over a field k. To a complete k-variety X, one naturally attaches an ideal of the coefficient ring H(k). We show that, when X is regular, this ideal depends only on the upper Chow motive of…

Consider a smooth connected algebraic group $G$ acting on a normal projective variety $X$ with an open dense orbit. We show that Aut($X$) is a linear algebraic group if so is $G$; for an arbitrary $G$, the group of components of Aut($X$) is…

The notion of an automaton over a changing alphabet $X=(X_i)_{i\geq 1}$ is used to define and study automorphism groups of the tree $X^*$ of finite words over $X$. The concept of bi-reversibility for Mealy-type automata is extended to…

Let $G$ be a cyclic $p$-group for some prime number $p>0$ and let $R$ be a complete discrete valuation ring in mixed characteristic. In this paper, we present a generalization of two results that characterize $RG$-permutation modules,…

An infinite permutation is a linear order on the set N. We study the properties of infinite permutations generated by fixed points of some uniform binary morphisms, and find the formula for their complexity.

The grouplike elements of a coalgebra over a field are known to be linearly independent over said field. Here we prove three variants of this result. One is a generalization to coalgebras over a commutative ring (in which case the linear…

Over a field of characteristic 0, every ring of invariants of a finite group is Cohen-Macaulay. This is not true for fields of positive characteristic. We consider permutation representations and their invariant rings over fields…

We prove several combinatorial properties of suffix arrays, including a characterization of suffix arrays through a bijection with a certain well-defined class of permutations. Our approach is based on the characterization of…

In this paper we describe graded automorphisms and antiautomorphisms of finite order on matrix algebras endowed with a group gradings by a finite abelian group over an arbitrary algebraically closed field of charcteristic different from 2.

We classify all finite groups $G$ which possesses an element $x\in G$ such that every irreducible character of $G$ takes a root of unity value at $x$.

We study valued fields equipped with an automorphism. We prove that all of them have an extension admitting an equivariant cross-section of the valuation. In residual characteristic zero, and in the presence of such a cross-section, we show…

We call a group $G$ nilpotently Jordan of class at most $c$ $(c\in\mathbb{N})$ if there exists a constant $J\in\mathbb{Z}^+$ such that every finite subgroup $H\leqq G$ contains a nilpotent subgroup $K\leqq H$ of class at most $c$ and index…

Given a root system $\mathsf{R}$, the vector system $\tilde{\mathsf{R}}$ is obtained by taking a representative $v$ in each antipodal pair $\{v, -v\}$. The matroid $M(\mathsf{R})$ is formed by all independent subsets of…

We introduce the notion of induced birational transformations of irreducible holomorphic symplectic sixfolds of the sporadic deformation type discovered by O'Grady. We give a criterion to determine when a manifold of $OG_6$ type is…

We briefly review the use of unitary evolution as a uniqueness criterion in the selection of quantum representations, in the context of scalar fields in non-stationary situations.

In this paper we develop a Morse-like theory in order to decompose birational maps and morphisms of smooth projective varieties defined over a field of characteristic zero into more elementary steps which are locally \'etale isomorphic to…

Let G be a connected reductive algebraic group over a perfect field. We study the representability of the equivariant automorphism group of G-varieties. For a broad class of complexity-one G-varieties, we show that this group is…

We survey recent results on multiple transitivity of automorphism groups of affine algebraic varieties. We consider the property of infinite transitivity of the special automorphism group, which is equivalent to flexibility of the…
