We classify finite-dimensional complex Hopf algebras $A$ which are pointed, that is, all of whose irreducible comodules are one-dimensional, and whose group of group-like elements $G(A)$ is abelian such that all prime divisors of the order…

In this short note we prove that any irreducible algebraic monoid whose unit group is an affine algebraic group is affine.

Let $ VG $ be a finite primitive affine permutation group, where $ V $ is a vector space of dimension $ d $ over the prime field $ \mathbb{F}_p $ and $ G $ is an irreducible linear group on $ V $. We prove that if $ p $ divides $ |G| $,…

We generalize the theory of the second invariant cohomology group $H^2_{\rm inv}(G)$ for finite groups $G$, developed in [Da2,Da3,GK], to the case of affine algebraic groups $G$, using the methods of [EG1,EG2,G]. In particular, we show that…

We study orbit-finite systems of linear equations, in the setting of sets with atoms. Our principal contribution is a decision procedure for solvability of such systems. The procedure works for every field (and even commutative ring) under…

Let F be the flag variety of a complex semi-simple group G, let H be an algebraic subgroup of G acting on F with finitely many orbits, and let V be an H-orbit closure in F. Expanding the cohomology class of V in the basis of Schubert…

Let $P$ be a minimal parabolic subgroup of a real reductive Lie group $G$ and $H$ a closed subgroup of $G$. Then it is proved by T. Kobayashi and T. Oshima that the regular representation $C^{\infty}(G/H)$ contains each irreducible…

Let w be an elliptic element of the Weyl group of a connected reductive group G. Let X be the set of pairs (g,B) where g is an element of G, B is a Borel subgroup of G and B,gBg^{-1} are in relative position w. Then G acts naturally on X.…

Let $G$ be a residually finite group and let $A$ be a finite set. We prove that if $X \subset A^G$ is a strongly irreducible subshift of finite type containing a periodic configuration then periodic configurations are dense in $X$. The…

The objects of study in this paper are Hopf algebras $H$ which are finitely generated algebras over an algebraically closed field and are extensions of a commutative Hopf algebra by a finite dimensional Hopf algebra. Basic structural and…

In the finite-dimensional setting, every Hermitian-symmetric space of compact type is a coadjoint orbit of a finite-dimensional Lie group. It is natural to ask whether every infinite-dimensional Hermitian-symmetric space of compact type,…

An abstract group $G$ is called totally $2$-closed if $H=H^{(2),\Omega}$ for any set $\Omega$ with $G\cong H\leq{\rm Sym}(\Omega)$, where $H^{(2),\Omega}$ is the largest subgroup of ${\rm Sym}(\Omega)$ whose orbits on $\Omega\times\Omega$…

Let $G$ be a locally compact Hausdorff group. We study orbit spaces of equivariant absolute neighborhood extensors ($G$-${\rm ANE}$'s) in the class of all proper $G$-spaces that are metrizable by a $G$-invariant metric. We prove that if a…

We call a group $G$ {\it algorithmically finite} if no algorithm can produce an infinite set of pairwise distinct elements of $G$. We construct examples of recursively presented infinite algorithmically finite groups and study their…

Let $G$ be the general linear group of the degree $n\geq 2$ over the field $\mathbb{K}=\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$. In this article, we give a description of orbit decomposition of the multiple projective space $G^m/P^m$ under the diagonal…

Let $ G $ be a connected reductive algebraic group over $ \C $. We denote by $ K = (G^{\theta})_{0} $ the identity component of the fixed points of an involutive automorphism $ \theta $ of $ G $. The pair $ (G, K) $ is called a symmetric…

We construct examples of normal affine varieties X of dimension greater than or equal to 4 such that the group of special automorphisms SAut(X) acts on X with an open orbit O and the complement X\O has codimension one.

Given a Lie group $G$ we study the class $\M$ of proper metrizable $G$-spaces with metrizable orbit spaces, and show that any $G$-space $X \in \M$ admits a closed $G$-embedding into a convex $G$-subset $C$ of some locally convex linear…

Given a finite abelian group $G$ and elements $x, y \in G$, we prove that there exists $\phi \in \text{Aut}(G)$ such that $\phi(x) = y$ if and only if $G/\langle x \rangle \cong G/\langle y \rangle$. This result leads to our development of…
