We investigate the notion of a subgroup of a quantum group. We suggest a general definition, which takes into account the work that has been done for quantum homogeneous spaces. We further restrict our attention to reductive subgroups,…

We investigate number-theoretic properties of the collection of nilpotent injectors or nilpotent projectors containing certain subgroups of finite soluble (or ${\mathcal N}$-constrained) groups.

Let $G$ be a finite group, let $N$ be a normal subgroup of $G$ and let $\theta$ be an irreducible character of $N$. We count the real irreducible characters of $G$ lying over $\theta$

The finite groups having an indecomposable polynomial invariant whose degree is at least half of the order of the group are classified. Apart from four sporadic exceptions these are exactly the groups having a cyclic subgroup of index at…

We establish vanishing results for limits of characters in various discrete groups, most notably irreducible lattices in higher rank semisimple Lie groups. As an application, we show that any sequence of finite-dimensional representations…

Let Q be any II_1-factor. It is shown that any standard lattice G can be realized as the standard invariant of a free product of (several) rescalings of Q. In particular, if Q has fundamental group equal to the positive reals and if P is…

A proper subgroup $H$ of a group $G$ is said to be: $\Bbb{P}$-subnormal in $G$ if there exists a chain of subgroups $H=H_0 < H_1< ... < H_{n}=G$ such that $|H_{i}:H_{i-1}|$ is a prime for $i=1,...,n$; $\Bbb{P}$-abnormal in $G$ if for every…

Shephard groups are common generalizations of Coxeter groups, Artin groups, and graph products of cyclic groups. Their definition is similar to that of a Coxeter group, but generators may have arbitrary order rather than strictly order 2.…

We determine the irreducible constituents of the Steinberg character of an orthogonal group over a finite field restricted to the orthogonal group of one less dimension

Let $T(X)$ (resp. L(V)) be the semigroup of all transformations (resp. linear transformations) of a set $X$ (resp. vector space $V$). For a subset $Y$ of $X$ and a subsemigroup $\mathbb{S}(Y)$ of $T(Y)$, consider the subsemigroup…

We find new "reasons" for a class of models for not having a universal model in a cardinal $\lambda$. This work, though it has consequences in model theory, is really in combinatorial set theory. We concentrate on a prototypical class which…

We present a new proof for the main claim made in the author's paper "On the identity bases of Brandt semigroups" (Ural. Gos. Univ. Mat. Zap. 14, no.1 (1985), 38--42); this claim provides an identity basis for an arbitrary Brandt semigroup…

Radical subgroups play an important role in both finite group theory and representation theory. This is the first of a series of papers of ours in classifying radical $p$-subgroups of finite reductive groups and in verifying the inductive…

We introduce a necessary and sufficient criterion for determining the existence and the values of ratio limits of complex sequences generated by arbitrary linear recurrences.

For a curve $X$ of genus $>1$ defined over a finite field, we present a criterion which allows us to state the non existence of automorphisms of order a power of a rational prime. We show how this criterion can be used to determine the…

A cardinal is weakly Reinhardt if it is the critical point of an elementary embedding from the universe of sets into a model that contains the double powerset of every ordinal. This note establishes the equiconsistency of a proper class of…

The paper offers versions of Hilbert's Irreducibility Theorem for the lifting of points in a cyclic subgroup of an algebraic group to a ramified cover. A version of Bertini Theorem in this context is also obtained.

An $integral$ of a group $G$ is a group $H$ whose commutator subgroup is isomorphic to $G$. This paper continues the investigation on integrals of groups started in the work arXiv:1803.10179. We study: (1) A sufficient condition for a bound…

We classify finite groups in which the centralisers of certain non-central elements are soluble. This includes a full structural description of groups whose non-central element centralisers are all soluble, and a reduction theorem for the…

Let $[n]=\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ be a finite chain and let $\mathcal{T}_{n}$ be the semigroup of full transformations on $[n]$. Let $\mathcal{CT}_{n}=\{\alpha\in \mathcal{T}_{n}: (for ~all~x,y\in…
