The commuting graph ${\Gamma(G)}$ of a group $G$ is the simple undirected graph with group elements as a vertex set and two elements $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if $xy=yx$ in $G$. By eliminating the identity element of $G$ and all…
Braided tensor products have been introduced by the author as a systematic way of making two quantum-group-covariant systems interact in a covariant way, and used in the theory of braided groups. Here we study infinite braided tensor…
We present a classification of finite $p$-groups $G$ with $\gamma_2(G)$, the commutator subgroup of $G$, of order $p^4$ and exponent $p$ such that not all elements of $\gamma_2(G)$ are commutators.
A permutation group is innately transitive if it has a transitive minimal normal subgroup, which is referred to as a plinth. We study the class of finite, innately transitive permutation groups that can be embedded into wreath products in…
The d-invariant of an integral, positive definite lattice L records the minimal norm of a characteristic covector in each equivalence class mod 2L. We prove that the 2-isomorphism type of a connected graph is determined by the d-invariant…
Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a finite braided multitensor category. Let $B$ be Majid's automorphism braided group of $\mathcal{C}$, then $B$ is a cocommutative Hopf algebra in $\mathcal{C}$. We show that the center of $\mathcal{C}$ is isomorphic to…
We study a class of $\Z^{d}$-substitutive subshifts, including a large family of constant-length substitutions, and homomorphisms between them, i.e., factors modulo isomorphisms of $\Z^{d}$. We prove that any measurable factor map and even…
We study multidimensional minimal and quasiperiodic shifts of finite type. We prove for these classes several results that were previously known for the shifts of finite type in general, without restriction. We show that some quasiperiodic…
We describe a pair of invariants for actions of finite groups on shifts of finite type, the left-reduced and right-reduced shifts. The left-reduced shift was first constructed by U. Fiebig, who showed that its zeta function is an invariant,…
In this paper, a G-shift of finite type (G-SFT) is a shift of finite type together with a free continuous shift-commuting action by a finite group G. We reduce the classification of G-SFTs up to equivariant flow equivalence to an algebraic…
Always dealing with an arbitrary field we consider the variety $(k^{n\times n})^{p}$ under the action of $GL_{n}$ by simultaneous similarity. We define discrete and continuous invariants which completely determine the orbits. The discrete…
The purpose of this survey paper is to bring to a large mathematical audience (containing also non-algebraists) some topics of invariant theory both in the classical commutative and the recent noncommutative case. We have included only…
The Brauer group of a commutative ring is an important invariant of a commutative ring, a common journeyman to the group of units and the Picard group. Burnside rings of finite groups play an important role in representation theory, and…
In this paper we present a categorical version of the first and second fundamental theorems of the invariant theory for the quantized symplectic groups. Our methods depend on the theory of braided strict monoidal categories which are…
We associate a cohomological invariant to each outer action of a group on a factor, and classify them by the invariant in the case that the group is a countable discrete amenable group and the factor is appoximately finite dimensional. The…
Construction of a universal finite-type invariant can be reduced, under suitable assumptions, to the solution of certain equations (the hexagon and pentagon equations) in a particular graded associative algebra of chord diagrams. An…
A transitive permutation group is semiprimitive if each of its normal subgroups is transitive or semiregular. Interest in this class of groups is motivated by two sources: problems arising in universal algebra related to collapsing monoids…
We investigate the rational cohomology of the quotient of (generalized) braid groups by the commutator subgroup of the pure braid groups. We provide a combinatorial description of it using isomorphism classes of certain families of graphs.…
We study petal diagrams of knots, which provide a method of describing knots in terms of permutations in a symmetric group $S_{2n+1}$. We define two classes of moves on such permutations, called trivial petal additions and crossing…
The first part of the paper centers in the study of embeddability between partially commutative groups. In [KK], for a finite simplicial graph $\Gamma$, the authors introduce an infinite, locally infinite graph $\Gamma^e$, called the…
