We develop a novel formal theory of finite structures, based on a view of finite structures as a fundamental artifact of computing and programming, forming a common platform for computing both within particular finite structures, and in the…

We characterize the fixed sets of automorphisms of an arbitrary countable, arithmetically saturated structure.

Structural properties of unitary groups over local, not necessarily commutative, rings are developed, with applications to the computation of the orders of these groups (when finite) and to the degrees of the irreducible constituents of the…

We will explore the nature of when certain finite groups have an equal covering, and when finite groups do not. Not to be confused with the concept of a cover group, a covering of a group is a collection of proper subgroups whose…

We consider invariants of a finite group related to the number of random (independent, uniformly distributed) conjugacy classes which are required to generate it. These invariants are intuitively related to problems of Galois theory. We…

It is known from work by H. Abels and P. Abramenko that for a classical Fq-group G of rank n the arithemetic lattice G(Fq[t]) of Fq[t]-rational points is of type Fn-1 provided that q is large enough. We show that the statement is true…

The principle result of this article is the determination of the possible finite subgroups of arithmetic lattices in U(2,1).

A subgroup $H$ of a finite group $G$ is said to satisfy $\Pi$-property in $G$ if for every chief factor $L/K$ of $G$, $|G/K:N_{G/K}(HK/K\cap L/K)|$ is a $\pi(HK/K\cap L/K)$-number. A subgroup $H$ of $G$ is called to be $\Pi$-supplemented in…

In this paper we characterize finite effect algebras which have a state. We construct two matrices $A$ and $B$ assigned to a finite effect algebra $E$ and show that if $E$ has a state then rank$A=$ rank$B$.

We analyse limits and colimits in the category $Part$ of partial groups, algebraic structures introduced by A. Chermak. We will prove that $Part$ is both complete and cocomplete and, in addition, that the full subcategory of finite partial…

Let $G$ be an affine algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic zero. In this paper, we consider finite $G$-equivariant morphisms $F:X\to Y$ of irreducible affine $G$-varieties. First we determine under which…

Numerical semigroup rings are investigated from the relative viewpoint. It is known that algebraic properties such as singularities of a numerical semigroup ring are properties of a flat numerical semigroup algebra. In this paper, we show…

A countable group is residually finite if every nontrivial element can act nontrivially on a finite set. When a group fails to be residually finite, we might want to measure how drastically it fails - it could be that only finitely many…

Let $G$ and $H$ be quasi-isometric finitely generated groups and let $P\leq G$; is there a subgroup $Q$ (or a collection of subgroups) of $H$ whose left cosets coarsely reflect the geometry of the left cosets of $P$ in $G$? We explore…

For any irreducible character $\chi$ of a finite group $G$, let $\theta(\chi)$ denote the proportion of elements $g\in G$ for which $\chi(g)$ is either zero or a root of unity. Then for any $L\in[1/2,1]$ and any $\epsilon>0$, there exists…

In [P. Niroomand, R. Rezaei, On the exterior degree of finite groups, Comm. Algebra 39 (2011), 335-343] it is introduced a group invariant, related to the number of elements $x$ and $y$ of a finite group $G$, such that $x \wedge y = 1_{G…

We classify finite groups $G$, such that the group algebra, $\mathbb{Q}G$ (over the field of rational numbers $\mathbb{Q}$), is the direct product of the group algebra $\mathbb{Q}[G/N]$ of a proper factor group $G/N$, and some division…

We investigate the geometry of word metrics on fundamental groups of manifolds associated with the generating sets consisting of elements represented by closed geodesics. We ask whether the diameter of such a metric is finite or infinite.…

Let $G$ denote the projective special linear group $\text{PSL}(2,q)$, for a prime power $q$. It is shown that a finite 2-subgroup of the group $V(\mathbb{Z}G)$ of augmentation 1 units in the integral group ring $\mathbb{Z}G$ of $G$ is…

We say that a finitely generated group $G$ has property (QT) if it acts isometrically on a finite product of quasi-trees so that orbit maps are quasi-isometric embeddings. A quasi-tree is a connected graph with path metric quasi-isometric…
