Two groups are called isocategorical over a field $k$ if their respective categories of $k$-linear representations are monoidally equivalent. We classify isocategorical groups over arbitrary fields, extending the earlier classification of…

In this paper, we consider an equivalence relation within the class of finitely presented discrete groups attending to their asymptotic topology rather than their asymptotic geometry. More precisely, we say that two finitely presented…

We show that for non-conjugate subgroups $G_1$ and $G_2$ of a finite group $G$ there exists an extension of $G$ (by a finite group) in which the pre-images of $G_1$ and $G_2$ are not isomorphic. This allows us to show that $\mathbb Z$-coset…

We classify the cosemisimple Hopf algebras whose corepresentation semi-ring is isomorphic to that of GL(2). This leads us to define a new family of Hopf algebras which generalize the quantum similitude group of a non-degenerate bilinear…

We prove that two finite-dimensional commutative algebras over an algebraically closed field are isomorphic if and only if they give rise to isomorphic representations of the category of finite sets and surjective maps.

A strict 2-group is a 2-category with one object in which all morphisms and all 2-morphisms have inverses. 2-Groups have been studied in the context of homotopy theory, higher gauge theory and Topological Quantum Field Theory (TQFT). In the…

We show that for any compact connected group G the second cohomology group defined by unitary invariant 2-cocycles on \hat G is canonically isomorphic to H^2(\hat{Z(G)};T). This implies that the group of autoequivalences of the C*-tensor…

Let $R$ be a finite unital commutative ring. We introduce a new class of finite groups, which we call hereditary groups over $R$. Our main result states that if $G$ is a hereditary group over $R$ then a unital algebra isomorphism between…

We classify semisimple rigid monoidal categories with two isomorphism classes of simple objects over the field of complex numbers. In the appendix written by P.Etingof it is proved that the number of semisimple Hopf algebras with a given…

Given an action of a finite group G on a fusion category C we give a criterion for the category of G-equivariant objects in C to be group-theoretical, i.e., to be categorically Morita equivalent to a category of group-graded vector spaces.…

We study the realization problem of finite groups as the group of homotopy classes of self-homotopy equivalences of finite spaces. Let $G$ be a finite group. Using an infinite family of pairwise non weakly homotopic asymmetric spaces we…

Let $G$ be a discrete group and let $\mathcal A$ and $\mathcal B$ be two subgroups of $G$-valued continuous functions defined on two $0$-dimensional compact spaces $X$ and $Y$. A group isomorphism $H$ defined between $\mathcal A$ and…

Working over an arbitrary field, we define compact semisimple 2-categories, and show that every compact semisimple 2-category is equivalent to the 2-category of separable module 1-categories over a finite semisimple tensor 1-category. Then,…

In this paper we define countable-configuration of groups and prove that two Hopfian groups with the same set of countable-configurations are isomorphic and vice versa. We also study the countable paradoxical decomposition of groups. It is…

In this paper we classify, up to equivalence, all semisimple nontrivial Hopf algebras of dimension $2^{2n+1}$ for $n\geq 2$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$ with the group of group-like elements isomorphic to…

We prove that, given a torsion-free relatively hyperbolic group G with non-relatively-hyperbolic peripherals, isomorphic finite index subgroups of G have the same index. This applies for instance to fundamental groups of finite-volume…

If $G$ is a finite group or a torus, it is known that there is an isomorphism between the Grothendieck group of homotopy representations and that of generalized homotopy representations for $G$. We prove that there is such an isomorphism…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $H$ be a subgroup of $G$. In this paper, we prove that if $G$ is a finite nilpotent group and $H$ a subgroup of $G$, then $H$ is normal in $G$ if and only if all normalized right transversals of $H$ in $G$ are…

We give a general framework of equivariant model category theory. Our groups G, called Hopf groups, are suitably defined group objects in any well-behaved symmetric monoidal category V. For any V, a discrete group G gives a Hopf group,…

We prove that if two finite metacyclic groups have isomorphic rational group algebras, then they are isomorphic. This contributes to understand where is the line separating positive and negative solutions to the Isomorphism Problem for…
