We prove that a finite coprime linear group G in characteristic p>=(|G|-1)/2 has a regular orbit. This bound on p is best possible. We also give an application to blocks with abelian defect groups.

We show that the cyclically ordered-abelian groups expanding $(\mathbb{Z};+)$ contain a continuum-size family of dp-minimal structures such that no two members define the same subsets of $\mathbb{Z}$.

Let $A$ be an abelian variety over $\mathbb{F}_q$. Let $h_A(t)$ be the characteristic polynomial of $A$. Rybakov showed that if $h_A(t)$ is squarefree and $G$ is any finite group with $|G| = h_A(1)$, then $G = A'(\mathbb{F}_q)$ for some…

In this article, we study the cuts of a totally ordered abelian group $\Gamma$. We begin by recalling some results on ordered sets I and on the associated sets IS(I) and FS(I) of initial and final segments of I. For a totally ordered set I…

In this paper, we deal with locally graded groups whose subgroups are either subnormal or soluble of bounded derived length, say d. In particular, we prove that every locally (soluble-by-finite) group with this property is either soluble or…

We prove that the automorphism groups of simple polarized abelian varieties of odd prime dimension over finite fields are cyclic, and give a complete list of finite groups that can be realized as such automorphism groups.

A subset $A$ of an abelian group $G$ is sequenceable if there is an ordering $(a_1, \ldots, a_k)$ of its elements such that the partial sums $(s_0, s_1, \ldots, s_k)$, given by $s_0 = 0$ and $s_i = \sum_{j=1}^i a_i$ for $1 \leq i \leq k$,…

We introduce a relaxation of stability, called almost sure stability, which is insensitive to perturbations by subsets of Loeb measure $0$ in a non-standard finite group. We show that almost sure stability satisfies a stationarity principle…

We consider the question of when a random walk on a finite abelian group with a given step distribution can be used to reconstruct a binary labeling of the elements of the group, up to a shift. Matzinger and Lember (2006) give a sufficient…

For a mixing shift of finite type, the associated automorphism group has a rich algebraic structure, and yet we have few criteria to distinguish when two such groups are isomorphic. We introduce a stabilization of the automorphism group,…

Suppose that $G$ is a finite $p$-group. If all subgroups of index $p^t$ of $G$ are abelian and at least one subgroup of index $p^{t-1}$ of $G$ is not abelian, then $G$ is called an $\mathcal{A}_t$-group. In this paper, some information…

We demonstrate that the open core of a definably complete expansion of a densely linearly ordered abelian group is locally o-minimal if and only if any definable closed subset of $R$ is either discrete or contains a nonempty open interval.…

Let $T$ be a (first order complete) dependent theory, ${\mathfrak{C}}$ a $\bar\kappa$-saturated model of $T$ and $G$ a definable subgroup which is abelian. Among subgroups of bounded index which are the union of $<\bar\kappa$ type definable…

This paper discusses sufficient conditions for a definably complete densely linearly ordered expansion of an abelian group having the uniformly locally o-minimal open cores of the first/second kind and strongly locally o-minimal open core,…

We show that if $G$ is a discrete Abelian group and $A \subset G$ has $\|1_A\|_{B(G)} \leq M$ then $A$ is $O(\exp(\pi M))$-stable in the sense of Terry and Wolf.

We study definable ranks of ordered fields, ordered abelian groups, and linear orders. For an arbitrary linear order $\Gamma$, we construct an ordered abelian group $G$ with archimedian spine $\Gamma$ and an ordered field $K$ with natural…

We introduce and study the class of spherically ordered groups. The notions of spherically ordered groups and their spectra of spherical orderability are introduced. Values of these spectra are found for a series of natural groups.

We consider the families of finite Abelian groups $\ZZ/p\ZZ\times \ZZ/p\ZZ$, $\ZZ/p^2\ZZ$ and $\ZZ/p\ZZ\times \ZZ/q\ZZ$ for $p,q$ two distinct prime numbers. For the two first families we give a simple characterization of all functions…

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a representation of the fundamental group of a closed surface of genus at least 2 to $\mathbb C$ to be the holonomy of a translation surface with a prescribed list of conical singularities.…

We discuss properties of orbits of (semi)group actions on locally compact groups G. In particular, we show that if a compactly generated locally compact abelian group acts distally on G then the closure of each of its orbits is a minimal…
