We adapt the generalization of root systems of the second author and H. Yamane to the terminology of category theory. We introduce Cartan schemes, associated root systems and Weyl groupoids. After some preliminary general results, we…
In this paper, a nilpotency criterion is given for finite dimensional alternative superalgebras in the spirit of Engel's Theorem for Jordan superalgebras over infinite fields provided by Shestakov and Okunev. For alternative superalgebras,…
These notes concern aspects of various graphs whose vertex set is a group $G$ and whose edges reflect group structure in some way (so that they are invariant under the action of the automorphism group of $G$). The graphs I will discuss are…
For a finite group $G,$ we investigate the direct graph $\Gamma(G),$ whose vertices are the non-hypercentral elements of $G$ and where there is an edge $x\mapsto y$ if and only if $[x,_ny]=1$ for some $n \in \mathbb N.$ We prove that…
This is a survey of some problems in geometric group theory which I find interesting. The problems are from different areas of group theory. Each section is devoted to problems in one area. It contains an introduction where I give some…
The notion of almost centralizer and almost commutator are introduced and basic properties are established. They are used to study $\widetilde{\mathfrak M}\_c$-groups, i. e.groups for which every descending chain of centralizers each having…
The present note shows that $\mathcal{Q}$-groups in [H. Heineken and F.G. Russo, Groups described by element numbers, Forum Math. 27 (2015), 1961--1977] are solvable groups (not necessarily nilpotent) for which the equation $T_G(r,s)=0$ is…
The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the zero-divisors of semigroups with zero and semirings and in particular, to discuss eversible and reversible semigroups and semirings. We also introduce a new ring-like algebraic structure…
These notes contain an introduction to the theory of complex semisimple quantum groups. Our main aim is to discuss the classification of irreducible Harish-Chandra modules for these quantum groups, following Joseph and Letzter. Along the…
We present short elementary proofs of the well-known Ruffini-Abel-Galois theorems on insolvability of algebraic equations in radicals. These proofs are obtained from existing expositions by stripping away material not required for the…
We start the general structure theory of not necessarily semisimple finite tensor categories, generalizing the results in the semisimple case (i.e. for fusion categories), obtained recently in our joint work with D.Nikshych. In particular,…
Kamke \cite{Kamke1921} solved an analog of Waring's problem with $n$th powers replaced by integer-valued polynomials. Larsen and Nguyen \cite{LN2019} explored the view of algebraic groups as a natural setting for Waring's problem. This…
We introduce a model for random groups in varieties of $n$-periodic groups as $n$-periodic quotients of triangular random groups. We show that for an explicit $d_{\mathrm{crit}}\in(1/3,1/2)$, for densities $d\in(1/3,d_{\mathrm{crit}})$ and…
This paper compares two generalizations of Heisenberg groups and studies their connection to one of the major open problems in the field of locally compact abelian groups, namely the description of the self-dual locally compact abelian…
In this short note we study the entropy for algebraic actions of certain amenable groups. The possible values for this entropy are studied. Various fundamental results about certain classes of amenable groups are reproved using elementary…
This is a long overdue write up of the following: If the fundamental group of a normal complex algebraic variety (respectively Zariski open subset of a compact K\"ahler manifold) is a solvable group of matrices over Q (respectively…
The classical approach of solvability using group theory is well known and one original motivation is to solve polynomials by radicals. Radicals are square, cube, square root, cube root etc of the original coefficients for the polynomial. A…
These lecture notes cover classical undecidability results in number theory, Hilbert's 10th problem and recent developments around it, also for rings other than the integers. It also contains a sketch of the authors result that the integers…
The present survey aims at being a list of Conjectures and Problems in an area of model-theoretic algebra wide open for research, not a list of known results. To keep the text compact, it focuses on structures of finite Morley rank,…
In this paper we find a characterization for groups elementarily equivalent to a free nilpotent group $G$ of class 2 and arbitrary finite rank.
