We explore connected affine algebraic groups $G$, which enjoy the following finiteness property $\rm (F)$: for every algebraic action of $G$, the closure of every $G$-orbit contains only finitely many $G$-orbits. We obtain two main results.…

The main aim of this paper is to classify the distinct multiplicative Lie algebra structures (up to isomorphism) on a given group. We also see that for a given group $G$, every homomorphism from the non-abelian exterior square $G \wedge G$…

We consider algebras with basis numerated by elements of a group $G.$ We fix a function $f$ from $G\times G$ to a ground field and give a multiplication of the algebra which depends on $f$. We study the basic properties of such algebras. In…

Computer based techniques for recognizing finitely presented groups are quite powerful. Tools available for this purpose are outlined. They are available both in stand-alone programs and in more comprehensive systems. A general…

A group is $\textit{finitely axiomatizable}$ (FA) in a class $\mathcal{C}$ if it can be determined up to isomorphism within $\mathcal{C}$ by a sentence in the first-order language of group theory. We show that profinite groups of various…

Let G be a reductive algebraic group over a field of prime characteristic. One can associate to G (or subgroups thereof) its Lie algebra, its Frobenius kernels, and the finite Chevalley group of points over a finite field. The…

This paper introduces a notion of fundamental group appropriate for laminations.

This paper investigates the critical group of a faithful representation of a finite group. It computes the order of the critical group in terms of the character values, and gives some restrictions on its subgroup structure. It also computes…

Let X(F,G) be the G-character variety of F where G is a rank 1 complex affine algebraic group and F is a finitely presentable discrete group. We describe an algorithm, which we implement in Mathematica, SageMath, and in Python, that takes a…

We introduce a monoidal category whose morphisms are finite partial orders, with chosen minimal and maximal elements as source and target respectively. After recalling the notion of presentation of a monoidal category by the means of…

We classify essential algebras whose irredundant non-refinable covers consist of primal algebras. The proof is obtained by constructing one to one correspondence between such algebras and partial orders on finite sets. Further, we prove…

In this note we discuss Morita equivalence classes of arbitrary finitely presented algebras

We study possibilities for algebraic closures, differences between definable and algebraic closures in first-order structures, and variations of these closures with respect to the bounds of cardinalities of definable sets and given sets of…

Constructions are given of Noetherian maximal orders that are finitely presented algebras over a field K, defined by monomial relations. In order to do this, it is shown that the underlying homogeneous information determines the algebraic…

We construct the first explicit finite presentations for a family of K\"ahler groups with arbitrary finiteness properties, answering a question of Suciu.

We determine all finite subgroups of simple algebraic groups that have irreducible centralizers - that is, centralizers whose connected component does not lie in a parabolic subgroup.

We define a fundamental group for digital images. Namely, we construct a functor from digital images to groups, which closely resembles the ordinary fundamental group from algebraic topology. Our construction differs in several basic ways…

Let $G$ be a group. A subset $D$ of $G$ is a determining set of $G$, if every automorphism of $G$ is uniquely determined by its action on $D$. The determining number of $G$, denoted by $\alpha(G)$, is the cardinality of a smallest…

This note provides a formula for the character of the Lie algebra of the fundamental group of a surface, viewed as a module over the symplectic group.

In the first part of this note, we introduce Tietze transformations for $L$-presentations. These transformations enable us to generalize Tietze's theorem for finitely presented groups to invariantly finitely $L$-presented groups. Moreover,…
