We establish a combination theorem for parafree groups. These groups were introduced by Baumslag in the sixties. One of the current motivations for a better understanding of their structure is that they show up naturally in connection with…
We generalise works of Kobayashi to give a formulation of the Iwasawa main conjecture for modular forms at supersingular primes. In particular, we give analogous definitions of even and odd Coleman maps for normalised new forms of arbitrary…
We use the Bateman--Horn Conjecture from number theory to give strong evidence of a positive answer to Peter Neumann's question, whether there are infinitely many simple groups of order a product of six primes. (Those with fewer than six…
In this paper we construct structures from Mathieu group $M_{11}$. We classify transitive $t$-designs with 11, 12 and 22 points admitting a transitive action of Mathieu group $M_{11}$. Thereby we proved the existence of designs with…
Let R be a commutative ring with unity, M be an unitary R-module and {\Gamma} be a simple graph. This research article is an interplay of combinatorial and algebraic properties of M . We show a combinatorial object completely determines an…
The first author conjectured certain relations for Morita-Mumford classes and Newton classes in the integral cohomology of mapping class groups (integral Riemann-Roch formulae). In this paper, the conjecture is verified for cyclic subgroups…
In view of a potential interpretation of the role of the Mathieu group M_24 in the context of strings compactified on K3 surfaces, we develop techniques to combine groups of symmetries from different K3 surfaces to larger 'overarching'…
We identify an interesting special class of prime ideals in the finitary infinite symmetric group algebra. We show that the set of such ideals carries a semiring structure. Over the complex numbers, we establish a connection with spherical…
We formulate a "correct" version of the Quillen conjecture on linear group homology for certain arithmetic rings and provide evidence for the new conjecture. In this way we predict that the linear group homology has a direct summand looking…
We define the Frobenius limit of a module over a ring of prime characteristic to be the limit of the normalized Frobenius direct images in a certain Grothendieck group. When a finite group acts on a polynomial ring, we calculate this limit…
The Amit conjecture about word maps on finite nilpotent groups has been shown to hold for certain classes of groups. The generalised Amit conjecture says that the probability of an element occurring in the image of a word map on a finite…
Extending the discovery by Giles Gardam of a concrete counterexample to Kaplansky's unit conjecture in characteristic 2, a family of counterexamples for every prime characteristic is presented.
This paper, together with a forthcoming paper by the author and Seitz, proves the Margulis-Platonov conjecture concerning the normal subgroup structure of algebraic groups over number fields, in the case of inner forms of anisotropic groups…
We identify all small groups of order up to 288 in the GAP Library for which the Zassenhaus conjecture on rational conjugacy of units of finite order in the integral group ring cannot be established by an existing method. The groups must…
We describe the lower algebraic $K$-theory of the integral group ring of both the pure and full braid groups of the real projective plane $\mathbb{R}P^2$ with $3$ strings, as well as that of the integral group ring of the mapping class…
The Schinzel hypothesis is a famous conjectural statement about primes in value sets of polynomials, which generalizes the Dirichlet theorem about primes in an arithmetic progression. We consider the situation that the ring of integers is…
We resolve Stillman's conjecture for families of polynomial rings that are graded by any semigroup under mild conditions. Conversely, we show that these conditions are necessary for the existence of a Stillman bound. This has applications…
We prove the validity of the freeness conjecture of Brou\'e, Malle and Rouquier for the generic Hecke algebras associated to the exceptional complex reflection groups of rank 2 belonging to the tetrahedral and octahedral families, and we…
A new type of conjectures on characters of finite groups, related to the McKay conjecture, have recently been proposed. In this paper, we study these conjectures for symmetric groups.
We show that for every prime $r$ all $r$-subgroups in the normalized units of the integral group ring of $\operatorname{PSL}(2,p^3)$ are isomorphic to subgroups of $\operatorname{PSL}(2,p^3)$. This answers a question of M. Hertweck, C.R.…
