Let $ \Bbb V = \coprod_{h = 0}^{\infty} \Bbb V_h$ be the graded monster module of the monster simple group $\Bbb M$ and let $\chi_k$ be an irreducible representation of $\Bbb M$. The generating function of $c_{hk}$ (the multiplicity of…
This is a biased survey for the Johnson homomorphisms of the automorphism groups of free groups. We just exposit some well known facts and recent developments for the Johnson homomorphisms and its related topics.
In this article we prove that Thompson's group does not belong to any algebraic variety.
The Tits core G^+ of a totally disconnected locally compact group G is defined as the abstract subgroup generated by the closures of the contraction groups of all its elements. We show that a dense subgroup is normalised by the Tits core if…
In this note, we construct torsion-free countable, amenable, weakly mixing groups, which answer a question of V. Bergelson. Some results related to verbal subgroups and crystallographic groups are also presented.
We prove an elementary lemma concerning primitive amalgams and use it to greatly simplify the proof of the Sims conjecture in the case of almost simple groups.
A semigroup is completely simple if it has no proper ideals and contains a primitive idempotent. We say that a completely simple semigroup $S$ is a homogeneous completely simple semigroup if any isomorphism between finitely generated…
We prove that the Lie Algebra of the McCool group $M_3$ is torsion free. As a result we are able to give a presentation for the Lie Algebra of $M_3$. Furthermore, $M_3$ is a Magnus group.
This article attempts to discuss some key aspects of the Brane World scenario in a popular fashion, without using any formulas.
We construct examples of non-bi-orderable one-relator groups without generalized torsion. This answers a question asked in [2].
We study finite groups $G$ with elements $g$ such that $\lvert \mathbf{C}_G(g)\rvert = \lvert G:G' \rvert$. (Such elements generalize fixed-point-free automorphisms of finite groups.) We show that these groups have a unique conjugacy class…
It is shown that the automorphism group of the shorter Moonshine module constructed in my Ph.D. thesis (also called Baby Monster vertex operator superalgebra) is the direct product of the finite simple group known as the Baby Monster and…
Axial algebras of Monster type are a class of commutative algebras generated by special idempotents called axes. Some motivating examples of these algebras are the Griess algebra and the Norton-Sakuma algebras, relating to the Monster…
We determine the space of 1-point correlation functions associated with the Moonshine module: they are precisely those modular forms of non-negative integral weight which are holomorphic in the upper half plane, have a pole of order at most…
We study sets of solutions to equations over a free group, projections of such sets, and the structure of elementary sets defined over a free group. The structre theory we obtain enable us to answer some questions of A. Tarski's, and…
It is proved that every disconnected surface-link with meridian-based free fundamental group is a trivial (i.e., an unknotted-unlinked) surface-link. This result is a surface-link version of the author's recent announcement result on smooth…
This is a book on Group.
We introduce the notion of torsion-simple objects in an abelian category: these are the objects which are always either torsion or torsion-free with respect to any torsion pair. We present some general results concerning their properties,…
Black hole entropy remains a deep puzzle: where does such enormous amount of entropy come from? Curiously, there exist gravitational configurations that possess even larger entropy than a black hole of the same mass, in fact, arbitrarily…
The fundamental group of every surface that is not the projective plane or Klein bottle has a representation to a torsion-free group of upper-triangular matrices in SL(2,R) with no simple loop (i.e. a nontrivial element representing a…
