Let G < SL(V) be a finite group, V is finite dimensional over a field F, p=char F and S(V) is the symmetric algebra of V. We determine when the subring of G-invariants S(V)^G is a polynomial ring. As a consequence, we classify, if F is…

For an endomorphism $s:V\rightarrow V$ of a finite dimensional complex vector space and an action of a torus $T$ on the full flag variety $\text{GL}_n({\mathbb C})/B$, we give a description of its fixed point set when $s$ is semisimple or…

Let $G = GL_N$ over an algebraically closed field of odd characteristic, and $\theta$ an involutive automorphism on $G$ such that $H = (G^{\theta})^0$ is isomorphic to $SO_N$. Then $G^{\iota\theta} = \{ g \in G \mid \theta(g) = g^{-1} \}$…

Holographic tensor networks model AdS/CFT, but so far they have been limited by involving only systems that are very different from gravity. Unfortunately, we cannot straightforwardly discretize gravity to incorporate it, because that would…

A unit-vector field n on a convex three-dimensional polyhedron P is tangent if, on the faces of P, n is tangent to the faces. A homotopy classification of tangent unit-vector fields continuous away from the vertices of P is given. The…

Given a general finite group $G$, we consider several categories built on it, their Grothendieck topologies and resulting sheaf categories. For a certain class of transporter categories and their quotients, equipped with atomic topology, we…

We study topological group theoretic properties of algebraic groups over local fields. In particular, we find conditions under which such groups have closed images under arbitrary continuous homomorphisms into arbitrary topological groups.

Let $M$ be a non-compact connected manifold with a cocompact and properly discontinuous action of a discrete group $G$. We establish a Poincar\'{e}-Hopf theorem for a bounded vector field on $M$ satisfying a mild condition on zeros. As an…

Let M be a manifold, and G a Lie group which satisfies the unique extension property. An (M,G) manifold N is a manifold endowed with an atlas (U_i,f_i) where f_i is a diffeomorphism between U_i and an open set of M such that the coordinates…

The singular value decomposition of a complex matrix is a fundamental concept in linear algebra and has proved extremely useful in many subjects. It is less clear what the situation is over a finite field. In this paper, we classify the…

We construct algorithms and topological invariants that allow us to distinguish the topological type of a surface, as well as functions and vector fields for their topological equivalence. In the first part we discus the main structures…

A new technique for proving fixed point theorems for families of holomorphic transformations of operator balls is developed. One of these theorems is used to show that a bounded representation in a real or complex Hilbert space is…

Let K be the kernel of an epimorphism G -> Z, where G is a finitely presented group. If K has infinitely many subgroups of index 2, 3, or 4, then it has uncountably many. Moreover, if K is the commutator subgroup of a classical knot group…

The group of continuous binary operations on a topological space is studied; its relationship with the group of homeomorphisms is established. The category of binary $G$-spaces and bi-equivariant maps is constructed, which is a natural…
