Let SL(n,Z) be the special linear group over integers and $M =S^r_1 \times S^r_2,T^r_1 \times S^r_2$ , or $T^r_0 \times S^r_1 \times S^r_2$, products of spheres and tori. We prove that any group action of SL(n,Z) on $M^r$ by diffeomorphims…
We study the classifying space of a twisted loop group $L_{\sigma}G$ where $G$ is a compact Lie group and $\sigma$ is an automorphism of $G$ of finite order modulo inner automorphisms. Equivalently, we study the $\sigma$-twisted adjoint…
For different classes of measure preserving transformations, we investigate collections of sets that exhibit the property of lightly mixing. Lightly mixing is a stronger property than topological mixing, and requires that a lim inf is…
Consider the pair $(G,P)$ consisting of an abelian lattice-ordered discrete group $G$ and its positive cone $P$. Let $\alpha$ be an action of $P$ by extendible endomorphisms of a $C^*$-algebra $A$. We show that the Nica-Toeplitz algebra…
The paper presents a new algorithmic construction of a finite generating set of rational invariants for the rational action of an algebraic group on the affine space. The construction provides an algebraic counterpart of the moving frame…
A near permutation of a set is a bijection between two cofinite subsets, modulo coincidence on smaller cofinite subsets. Near permutations of a set form its near symmetric group. In this monograph, we define near actions as homomorphisms…
Given a group G, a (unital) ring A and a group homomorphism $\sigma : G \to \Aut(A)$, one can construct the skew group ring $A \rtimes_{\sigma} G$. We show that a skew group ring $A \rtimes_{\sigma} G$, of an abelian group G, is simple if…
We present an easily defined countable family of permutations of the natural numbers for which explicit rearrangements (i.e., the sums induced by the permutations) can be computed. The digamma function proves to be the key tool for the…
We prove that the 2-hermitean matrix model and the complex-matrix model obey the same loop equations, and as a byproduct, we find a formula for Itzykzon-Zuber's type integrals over the unitary group. Integrals over U(n) are rewritten as…
We show that certain factor rings of the group algebra of a symmetric group have natural bases of group elements. We also give generators for the annihilator of certain permutation modules for symmetric groups.
It has been proposed that the Poincare and some other symmetries of noncommutative field theories should be twisted. Here we extend this idea to gauge transformations and find that twisted gauge symmetries close for arbitrary gauge group.…
The main goal of this paper is to introduce the notion of twisted partial action of groupoids. We generalize the theorem about the existence of an enveloping action, also known as the globalization theorem, and show that the crossed…
We construct twisting functors for quantum group modules. First over the field $\mathbb{Q}(v)$ but later over any $\mathbb{Z} [v,v^{-1}]$-algebra. The main results in this paper are a rigerous definition of these functors, a proof that they…
It was shown that in the small Wigner group there is a one-parameter subgroup of the Lorentz transformations, which leave unchanged not only the momentum of the fermion with spin h/2, but also its spin characteristics. This is the group of…
We construct the field theory which describes the universal properties of the quasi-static isotropic depinning transition for interfaces and elastic periodic systems at zero temperature, taking properly into account the non-analytic form of…
Main theorems of the article concern the problem of M. Atiyah on possible values of l^2-Betti numbers. It is shown that all non-negative real numbers are l^2-Betti numbers, and that "many" (for example all non-negative algebraic) real…
We construct an algorithm that, given a pair of homomorphisms between polycyclic-by-finite groups, determines whether their Reidemeister number is finite, and if so returns a set of representatives of the twisted conjugacy classes.…
A non-zero element of the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{se}(3)$ of the special Euclidean spatial isometry group $SE(3)$ is known as a {\em twist} and the corresponding element of the projective Lie algebra is termed a {\em screw}. Either can be…
We introduce a new approach to the study of finite binary permutation groups and, as an application of our method, we prove Cherlin's binary groups conjecture for groups with socle a finite alternating group, and for the…
This survey article explores the notion of z-classes in groups. The concept introduced here is related to the notion of orbit types in transformation groups, and types or genus in the representation theory of finite groups of Lie type. Two…
