As defined by Guralnick and Saxl, given a nonabelian simple group $S$ and its nonidentity automorphism $x$, a natural number $\alpha_S(x)$ is the minimum number of conjugates of $x$ in $\langle x,S\rangle$ that generate a subgroup…
The main result of this paper is an explicit construction of the free commutative skew brace -- that is, a skew brace whose circle group is commutative -- on an arbitrary generating set $X$. We embed this object into a set of rational…
Let $X$ be a smooth affine algebraic variety over the field of complex numbers which is contractible. Then every algebraic $G$-torsor on $X$ is algebraically trivial if $G$ is a semi-simple algebraic group. We also show that if $X$ is a…
We introduce the concept of a pants decomposition for a finitely generated free group and construct the corresponding pants graph. A pants decomposition of a free group leads to the formation of a simplicial graph, referred to as the pants…
In this paper, we mainly discuss some generalized metric properties and the character of the free paratopological groups, and extend several results valid for free topological groups to free paratopological groups.
This abstract presents (without proofs) some new results on commutativity degree of finite groups.
We present a geometric approach to the Baum-Connes conjecture with coefficients for Gromov monster groups via a theorem of Khoskham and Skandalis. Secondly, we use recent results concerning the a-T-menability at infinity of large girth…
In a previous paper, we defined a higher dimensional analog of Thompson's group V, and proved that it is simple, infinite, finitely generated, and not isomorphic to any of the known Thompson groups. There are other Thompson groups that are…
The spectra of a finite group is the set of its element orders. We obtain an arithmetic description of finite symplectic and orthogonal groups. In particular, a description of spectra of all finite simple simplectic and orthogonal groups is…
We give a summary of R. Borcherds' solution (with some modifications) to the following part of the Conway-Norton conjectures: Given the Monster simple group and Frenkel-Lepowsky-Meurman's moonshine module for the group, prove the equality…
We describe a number of relationships between properties of the vacuum Verma module of a Virasoro algebra and the automorphism group of certain vertex operator algebras. These groups include the Deligne exceptional series of simple Lie…
We define a notion of cofibration among n-categories and show that the cofibrant objects are exactly the free ones, that is those generated by polygraphs.
We exhibit an example of a finitely presented monoid that is congruence-free and simple but not bisimple.
Herein we study conformal vectors of a Z-graded vertex algebra of (strong) CFT type. We prove that the full vertex algebra automorphism group transitively acts on the set of the conformal vectors of strong CFT type if the vertex algebra is…
Monsters and modifiers are two concepts recently developed in the state complexity theory. A monster is an automaton in which every function from states to states is represented by at least one letter. A modifier is a set of functions…
It is known that every finite group can be represented as the full group of automorphisms of a suitable compact origami. In this paper, we provide a short argument to note that the same holds for any countable group by considering origamis…
This is an expository paper aimed to outline the current situation with problems related with the occurrence of eigenvalue $1$ of elements in linear groups and group representations.
I present a simple, elementary proof of Morley's theorem, highlighting the naturalness of this theorem.
We associate to each finite presentation of a group G a compact CW-complex that is a 3-manifold in the complement of a point, and whose fundamental group is isomorphic to G. We use this complex to define a notion of genus for G and give…
A hierarchy of a group is a rooted tree of groups obtained by iteratively passing to vertex groups of graphs of groups decompositions. We define a (relative) slender JSJ hierarchy for (almost) finitely presented groups and show that it is…
