Algebraic hyperstructures represent a natural extension of classical algebraic structures. In a classical algebraic structure, the composition of two elements is an element, while in an algebraic hyperstructure, the composition of two…

We define the notion of a partial action on a generalized Boolean algebra and associate to every such system and commutative unital ring $R$ an $R$-algebra. We prove that every strongly $E^{\ast}$-unitary inverse semigroup has an associated…

Computational Group Theory is applied to indexed objects (tensors, spinors, and so on) with dummy indices. There are two groups to consider: one describes the intrinsic symmetries of the object and the other describes the interchange of…

This paper is a survey, with few proofs, of ideas and notions related to self-similarity of groups, semi-groups and their actions. It attempts to relate these concepts to more familiar ones, such as fractals, self-similar sets, and…

Within the framework of unitary easy quantum groups, we study an analogue of Brauer's Schur-Weyl approach to the representation theory of the orthogonal group. We consider concrete combinatorial categories whose morphisms are formed by…

We construct a finitely presented (two-sided) totally orderable group with insoluble word problem.

We introduce partial duality of hypermaps, which include the classical Euler-Poincar\'e duality as a particular case. Combinatorially, hypermaps may be described in one of three ways: as three involutions on the set of flags (bi-rotation…

We identify those elements of the homeomorphism group of the circle that can be expressed as a composite of two involutions.

We define, for an arbitrary partially ordered set, a multi-variable polynomial generalizing the hook polynomial.

We investigate the class of quasitrivial semigroups and provide various characterizations of the subclass of quasitrivial and commutative semigroups as well as the subclass of quasitrivial and order-preserving semigroups. We also determine…

If every point of a unital is fixed by a non-trivial translation and at least one translation has order two then the unital is classical (i.e., hermitian).

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.

A packing of partial difference sets is a collection of disjoint partial difference sets in a finite group $G$. This configuration has received considerable attention in design theory, finite geometry, coding theory, and graph theory over…

Let G be a finite group. An element x in G is a real element if x is conjugate to its inverse in G. For x in G, the conjugacy class x^G is said to be a real conjugacy class if every element of x^G is real. We show that if 4 divides no real…

We define a notion of roundness for finite groups. Roughly speaking, a group is round if one can order its elements in a cycle in such a way that some natural summation operators map this cycle into new cycles containing all the elements of…

Let $A$ be a set and $f:A\rightarrow A$ a bijective function. Necessary and sufficient conditions on $f$ are determined which makes it possible to endow $A$ with a binary operation $*$ such that $(A,*)$ is a cyclic group and $f\in…

We give many examples of algebraic actions which are factors of Bernoulli shifts. These include certain harmonic models over left orderable groups of large enough growth, as well as algebraic actions associated to certain lopsided elements…

To an inverse semigroup, we associate an \'etale groupoid such that its actions on topological spaces are equivalent to actions of the inverse semigroup. Both the object and the arrow space of this groupoid are non-Hausdorff. We show that…

We classify finite groups $G$, such that the group algebra, $\mathbb{Q}G$ (over the field of rational numbers $\mathbb{Q}$), is the direct product of the group algebra $\mathbb{Q}[G/N]$ of a proper factor group $G/N$, and some division…

We describe the additive subgroups of fields which are closed with respect to taking inverses. In particular, in characteristic different from two any such subgroup is either a subfield or the kernel of the trace map of a quadratic…
