We study the codegree isomorphism problem for finite simple groups. In particular, we show that such a group is determined by the codegrees (counting multiplicity) of its irreducible characters. The proof is uniform for all simple groups…

Let $KG$ denote the group algebra of the group $G$ over the field $K$ and let $U(KG)$ denote its group of units. Here without the use of a computer we give presentations for the unit groups of all group algebras $KG$, where the size of $KG$…

The automorphism groups of certain factorial complex affine threefolds admitting locally trivial actions of the additive group are determined. As a consequence new counterexamples to a generalized cancellation problem are obtained.

Let $p$ be a prime and $G$ a subgroup of $GL_d(p)$. We define $G$ to be $p$-exceptional if it has order divisible by $p$, but all its orbits on vectors have size coprime to $p$. We obtain a classification of $p$-exceptional linear groups.…

An algebraic description of basic discrete symmetries (space inversion P, time reversal T, charge conjugation C and their combinations PT, CP, CT, CPT) is studied. Discrete subgroups {1,P,T,PT} of orthogonal groups of multidimensional…

The families of right (left) translation finite subsets of a discrete infinite group $\Gamma$ are defined and shown to be ideals. Their kernels $Z_R$ and $Z_L$ are identified as the closure of the set of products $pq$ ($p\cdot q$) in the…

We continue our investigation of a variation of the group ring isomorphism problem for twisted group algebras. Contrary to previous work, we include cohomology classes which do not contain any cocycle of finite order. This allows us to…

In this paper the authors consider four questions of primary interest for the representation theory of reductive algebraic groups: (i) Donkin's Tilting Module Conjecture, (ii) the Humphreys-Verma Question, (iii) whether $\operatorname{St}_r…

A countable group is C*-simple if its reduced C*-algebra is a simple algebra. Since Powers recognised in 1975 that non-abelian free groups are C*-simple, large classes of groups which appear naturally in geometry have been identified,…

We prove a decomposition of definable groups in o-minimal structures generalizing the Jordan-Chevalley decomposition of linear algebraic groups. It follows that any definable linear group G is a semidirect product of its maximal normal…

In the framework of McKay correspondence we determine, for every finite subgroup $\Gamma$ of $\mathbf{SL}_4\mathbb{C}$, how the finite dimensional irreducible representations of $\mathbf{SL}_4\mathbb{C}$ decompose under the action of…

Let $\N_n$ be the set of nilpotent $n$ by $n$ matrices over an algebraically closed field $k$. For each $r\ge 2$, let $C_r(\N_n)$ be the variety consisting of all pairwise commuting $r$-tuples of nilpotent matrices. It is well-kown that…

Starting from SO(n,m) groups, we are in search of groups that: (1.) in a simple way, include N supersymmetric generators(see \cite{Nahm}) (2.) contain as subgroup: the de Sitter group SO(4,1) or the Anti-de Sitter group SO(3,2) (3.) permit…

Sets of signed permutation matrices satisfying the GR(4,4) algebra are shown to be, up to sign, left cosets of Klein's famous Vierergruppe. In this way we verify the count done by computer in 2012, and set it in a more significant…

A finite order element $g$ of a group $G$ is called rational if $g$ is conjugate to $g^i$ for every integer $i$ coprime to the order $g$. We determine all triples $(G,g,\phi)$, where $G$ is a simple algebraic group of type $A_n,B_n$ or…

We classify all pairs (G,V) with G a closed subgroup in a classical group with natural module V over the complex numbers such that G has the same composition factors on the kth tensor power of V, for a fixed (small) k. In particular, we…

We construct reduced and full semigroup C*-algebras for left cancellative semigroups. Our new construction covers particular cases already considered by A. Nica and also Toeplitz algebras attached to rings of integers in number fields due…

This paper and its sequel describe the irreducible representations of the rational Cherednik algebra $H_c(W)$ for a finite Coxeter group $W$ of type $H_4$, $F_4$ with equal parameters, $E_6$, $E_7$, and $E_8$, when $c$ is not a…

The decomposition of representations of compact classical Lie groups into representations of finite subgroups is discussed. A Mathematica package is presented that can be used to compute these branching rules using the Weyl character…

We prove that the double covers of the alternating and symmetric groups are determined by their complex group algebras. To be more precise, let $n\geq 5$ be an integer, $G$ a finite group, and let $\AAA$ and $\SSS^\pm$ denote the double…
