Given a group $G$ and a subset $X \subset G$, an element $g \in G$ is called quasi-positive if it is equal to a product of conjugates of elements in the semigroup generated by $X$. This notion is important in the context of braid groups,…

The diffraction pattern of a quasicrystal admits as symmetry group a finite group G, and there exists a G-cluster C (a union of orbits of G) such that the quasicrystal can be regarded as a quasiperiodic packing of copies of C, generally,…

We give a classification of all quasitriangular structures and ribbon elements of $\mathcal{D}(G)$ explicitly in terms of group homomorphisms and central subgroups. This can equivalently be interpreted as an explicit description of all…

Among connected linear algebraic groups, quasi-reductive groups generalize pseudo-reductive groups, which in turn form a useful relaxation of the notion of reductivity. We study quasi-reductive groups over non-archimedean local fields,…

We propose an analogue of Solomon's descent theory for the case of a wreath product G ~ S_n, where G is a finite abelian group. Our construction mixes a number of ingredients: Mantaci-Reutenauer algebras, Specht's theory for the…

The leaves in singular holomorphic foliation theory are examples of quasi-analytic layers. In the first part of our publication we are concerned with a theory of these subjects. A quasi-analytic decomposition of a complex manifold is a…

This paper gives a systematic construction of certain covers of finite semigroups. These covers will be used in future work on the complexity of finite semigroups.

We study the noncommutative minimal model program for blowups of surfaces. The program, as defined by Halpern-Leistner, is designed to construct a quasiconvergent path in the space of Bridgeland stability conditions. In this paper, we…

A quasi-tree is a geodesic metric space quasi-isometric to a tree. We give a general construction of many actions of groups on quasi-trees. The groups we can handle include non-elementary (relatively) hyperbolic groups, rank 1 CAT(0)…

We show that the \s{\phi}-labeled Thompson groups and the twisted Brin--Thompson groups are boundedly acyclic. This allows us to prove several new embedding results for groups. First, every group of type $F_n$ embeds quasi-isometrically…

A transitive smooth action of a connected Lie group G on a manifold M is called almost primitive (resp. primitive) if G doesn't contain any proper subgroup (resp. any proper normal subgroup) whose induced action on M is transitive as well.…

In the 1980's K.S. Brown proved that the Houghton group $H_n$ is of type $\operatorname{F}_{n-1}$ but not $\operatorname{FP}_n$. We show that, provided $n\ge3$, the same conclusion holds for all subgroups $G$ of $H_n$ that are 'large' in…

We study finite quasi-quantum groups in their quiver setting developed recently by the first author in arXiv:0902.1620 and arXiv:0903.1472. We obtain a classification of finite-dimensional pointed Majid algebras of finite corepresentation…

In this paper, we shall prove that an ultraproduct of non-abelian finite simple groups is either finite simple, or has no finite dimensional unitary representation other than the trivial one. Then we shall generalize this result for other…

We introduce a generalization of the product expansion of a finite semigroup. As an application, we provide an alternative proof of the decidability of pointlike sets for pseudovarieties consisting of semigroups whose subgroups all belong…

It is shown how traditional development of theories of fluids based upon the concept of physical clustering can be adapted to an alternative local clustering definition. The alternative definition can preserve a detailed valence description…

The aim of this paper is to contribute more examples and classification results of finite pointed quasi-quantum groups within the quiver framework initiated in \cite{qha1, qha2}. The focus is put on finite dimensional graded Majid algebras…

The classic Magnus embedding is a very effective tool in the study of abelian extensions of a finitely generated group $G$, allowing us to see the extension as a subgroup of a wreath product of a free abelian group with $G$. In particular,…

Using a variety of methods developed in the theory of finite-dimensional quasi-Hopf algebras, we classify all finite-dimensional coradically graded pointed coquasi-Hopf algebras over abelian groups. As a consequence, we partially confirm…

By a 2-group we mean a groupoid equipped with a weakened group structure. It is called split when it is equivalent to the semidirect product of a discrete 2-group and a one-object 2-group. By a permutation 2-group we mean the 2-group…
