Let $O(p,q)$ be the orthogonal groups of signature $(p,q)$ over the reals. It is shown that an element of the commutator subgroup $O(p,q)'$ of $O(p,q)$ is bireflectional (product of 2 involutions in $O(p,q)'$) if and only if it is…

We describe new $q$-deformations of the 3-dimensional Heisenberg algebra, the simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{sl}_2$ and the Witt algebra. They are constructed through a realization as differential operators. These operators are related to…

Describing the conjugacy classes of the unipotent upper triangular groups $\mathrm{UT}_{n}(\mathbb{F}_{q})$ uniformly (for all or many values of $n$ and $q$) is a nearly impossible task. This paper takes on the related problem of describing…

The paper investigates a significant part of the automorphic, in fact of the so-called Eisenstein cohomology of split odd orthogonal groups over Q. The main result provides a description of residual and regular Eisenstein cohomology classes…

For an algebraic group $Q$ with $\mathsf{Lie\,} Q=\mathfrak q$, we develop a method for estimating the index of a subalgebra $\mathfrak h$ in $\mathfrak q$ via the use of coadjoint $Q$-orbits in $\mathfrak q^*$. Let $\mathfrak q^\xi$ denote…

In this note, we prove that for any finite dimensional vector space $V$ over an algebraically closed field $k$, and for any finite subgroup $G$ of $GL(V)$ which is either solvable or is generated by pseudo reflections such that the $|G|$ is…

We prove that if $G$ is a finite irreducible solvable subgroup of an orthogonal group $O(V,Q)$ with $\dim V$ odd, then $G$ preserves an orthogonal decomposition of $V$ into $1$-spaces. In particular $G$ is monomial. This generalizes a…

Let $(\FormR)$ be a form ring such that $A$ is quasi-finite $R$-algebra (i.e., a direct limit of module finite algebras) with identity. We consider the hyperbolic Bak's unitary groups $\GU(2n,\FormR)$, $n\ge 3$. For a form ideal…

We study the integrals of type $I(a)=\int_{O_n}\prod u_{ij}^{a_{ij}}\,du$, depending on a matrix $a\in M_{p\times q}(\mathbb N)$, whose exact computation is an open problem. Our results are as follows: (1) an extension of the "elementary…

A subgroup $H$ of a group $G$ is said to be {pronormal} in $G$ if $H$ and $H^g$ are conjugate in $\langle H, H^g \rangle$ for every $g \in G$. Some problems in finite group theory, combinatorics, and permutation group theory were solved in…
