We introduce a new product for permutation groups. It takes as input two permutation groups, M and N, and produces an infinite group M [X] N which carries many of the permutational properties of M. Under mild conditions on M and N the group…

Suppose $\mathcal{G}$ is a second-countable locally compact Hausdorff \'{e}tale groupoid, $G$ is a discrete group containing a unital subsemigroup $P$, and $c:\mathcal{G}\rightarrow G$ is a continuous cocycle. We derive conditions on the…

We give an easy diagrammatical description of the parabolic Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials for the Weyl group $W_n$ of type $D_n$ with parabolic subgroup of type $A_n$ and consequently an explicit counting formula for the dimension of the…

Waring's classical problem deals with expressing every natural number as a sum of g(k) k-th powers. Recently there has been considerable interest in similar questions for nonabelian groups, and simple groups in particular. Here the k-th…

In this paper we construct consistent examples of subgroups of $2^\omega$ with Menger remainders which fail to have other stronger combinatorial covering properties. This answers several open questions asked by Bella, Tokgoz and Zdomskyy…

We construct in ZFC a countably compact group without non-trivial convergent sequences of size $2^{\mathfrak{c}}$, answering a question of Bellini, Rodrigues and Tomita. We also construct in ZFC a selectively pseudocompact group which is…

A positive integer $n$ is said to be a Zumkeller number if the positive divisors of $n$ can be partitioned into two disjoint subsets of equal sum \cite{zumkeller}. In this paper, in the first section, we investigate differences between…

R. Baer has proved that if the factor-group G/{\zeta}_{n}(G) of a group G by the member {\zeta}_{n}(G) of its upper central series is finite (here n is a positive integer) then the member {\gamma}_{n+1}(G) of the lower central series of G…

Given a group $G$, we write $g^G$ for the conjugacy class of $G$ containing the element $g$. A theorem of B. H. Neumann states that if $G$ is a group in which all conjugacy classes are finite with bounded size, then the commutator subgroup…

We study the remarkable Saxl conjecture which states that tensor squares of certain irreducible representations of the symmetric groups S_n contain all irreducibles as their constituents. Our main result is that they contain representations…

We begin by introducing schemes of binoids, invertible $\mathcal{O}_M$-sets and cohomology of sheaves of abelian groups defined on schemes of binoids. We define the so-called punctured combinatorial \v{C}ech-Picard complex, whose first…

We prove that any countable discrete and torsion free subgroup of a general linear group over an arbitrary field or a similar subgroup of an almost connected Lie group satisfies the integral algebraic K-theoretic (split) Novikov conjecture…

We introduce a notion of noncommutative Choquet simplex, or briefly an nc simplex, that generalizes the classical notion of a simplex. While every simplex is an nc simplex, there are many more nc simplices. They arise naturally from…

We compute the irreducible constitutents of the product of the Weil character and the Steinberg character in those finite classical groups for which a Weil character is defined, namely the symplectic, unitary and general linear groups. It…

We prove that one-relator groups with negative immersions are hyperbolic and virtually special; this resolves a recent conjecture of Louder and Wilton. As a consequence, one-relator groups with negative immersions are residually finite,…

This paper concerns the study of regular Fourier hypergroups through multipliers of their associated Fourier algebras. We establish hypergroup analogues of well-known characterizations of group amenability, introduce a notion of weak…

Kronecker coefficients encode the tensor products of complex irreducible representations of symmetric groups. Their stability properties have been considered recently by several authors (Vallejo, Pak and Panova, Stembridge). In previous…

Let $A$ be a unital, simple and Z-stable C$^*$-algebra. We show that the set of positive elements in $A$ (resp. $A \otimes K$) belonging to a fixed non-compact Cuntz class is contractible as a topological subspace of $A$ (resp. $A \otimes…

We construct new examples of non-nil algebras with any number of generators, which are direct sums of two locally nilpotent subalgebras. As all previously known examples, our examples are contracted semigroup algebras and the underlying…

In this paper we present a combinatorial proof of the Kronecker--Weber Theorem for global fields of positive characteristic. The main tools are the use of Witt vectors and their arithmetic developed by H. L. Schmid. The key result is to…
