Let $p$ be a an odd prime and let $G$ be a finite $p$-group with cyclic commutator subgroup $G'$. We prove that the exponent and the abelianization of the centralizer of $G'$ in $G$ are determined by the group algebra of $G$ over any field…

In math.RT/0302174 we developed a framework to study representations of groups of the form $G((t))$, where $G$ is an algebraic group over a local field $K$. The main feature of this theory is that natural representations of groups of this…

If for all $a, b$ in a group $G$, we have that $a^2b^2 = b^2a^2$ and $a^3b^3 = b^3a^3$ then does the group necessarily have to be abelian? This paper shows that the answer is affirmative for finite groups as well as certain classes of…

Let $G$ denote a linear algebraic group over $\mathbf{Q}$ and $K$ and $L$ two number fields. Assume that there is a group isomorphism of points on $G$ over the finite adeles of $K$ and $L$, respectively. We establish conditions on the group…

We present a complete list of groups $G$ and fields $F$ for which: (i) the group of normalized units V(FG) of the group algebra FG is locally nilpotent; (ii) the group algebra FG has a finite number of nilpotent elements and V(FG) is an…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $K$ a finite field of characteristic $2$. Denote by $t$ the $2$-rank of the commutator factor group $G/G'$ and by $s$ the number of self-dual simple $KG$-modules. Then the Witt group of equivariant quadratic…

For any finite group G and integer i, let $\mathcal{H}^i(G)$ be the set of all the isomorphism classes of the Galois cohomology groups $\hat{H}^i(K/k,E_K)$, where K/k runs over all the unramified G-extension of number fields and E_K denotes…

Let $G$ be a group and let $\rho\colon G\to\operatorname{Sym}(V)$ be a permutation representation of $G$ on a set $V$. We prove that there is a faithful $G$-coalgebra $C$ such that $G$ arises as the image of the restriction of…

Let V be a simple vertex operator algebra and G a finite automorphism group of V such that V^G is regular. It is proved that every irreducible V^G-module occurs in an irreducible g-twisted V-module for some g in G. Moreover, the quantum…

This paper contains the more significant part of the article with the same title that will appear in the Volume 12 of Journal of Group Theory (2009). In this paper we determine all algebraic transformation groups $G$, defined over an…

Evolution algebras are non-associative algebras inspired from biological phenomena, with applications to or connections with different mathematical fields. There are two natural ways to define an evolution algebra associated to a given…

We give a generalization of the Hodge operator to spaces $(V,h)$ endowed with a hermitian or symmetric bilinear form $h$ over arbitrary fields, including the characteristic two case. Suitable exterior powers of $V$ become free modules over…

The algebraic formulation of the quantum group covariant noncommutative geometry in the framework of the $R$-matrix approach to the theory of quantum groups is given. We consider structure groups taking values in the quantum groups and…

We study several combinatorial properties of finite groups that are related to the notions of sequenceability, R-sequenceability, and harmonious sequences. In particular, we show that in every abelian group $G$ with a unique involution…

Let $V$ be a simple vertex operator algebra which admits the continuous, faithful action of a compact Lie group $G$ of automorphisms. We establish a Schur-Weyl type duality between the unitary, irreducible modules for $G$ and the…

We consider an evolution algebra which corresponds to a bisexual population with a set of females partitioned into finitely many different types and the males having only one type. We study basic properties of the algebra. This algebra is…

The universal enveloping algebra of any simple Lie algebra g contains a family of commutative subalgebras, called the quantum shift of argument subalgebras math.RT/0606380, math.QA/0612798. We prove that generically their action on…

Let V be a complex vector space with basis {x_1,x_2,...,x_n} and G be a finite subgroup of GL(V). The tensor algebra T(V) over the complex is isomorphic to the polynomials in the non-commutative variables x_1, x_2,..., x_n with complex…
