The Galois Alperin weight (GAW) conjecture has been reduced to the inductive GAW condition for simple groups. We proceed in two steps to refine this reduction. First, we propose the blockwise Galois Alperin weight (BGAW) conjecture and…

The purpose of this paper is to explore possible definitions of $n$-isoclinism for skew braces. We also introduce the notions of verbal sub-skew braces and marginal left ideals.

By previous work of Ced\'{o}, Smoktunowicz, and Vendramin, one already knows that the analog of Gr\"{u}n's lemma fails to hold for perfect skew left braces when the socle is used as an analog of the center of a group. In this paper, we use…

Let $G$ be a reductive algebraic group scheme defined over ${\mathbb F}_{p}$ and $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$. There are two associated families of finite group schemes, the $r$-th Frobenius kernels, denoted by…

The representation zeta function of a profinite group $G$ encodes the distribution of continuous irreducible complex representations of $G$ as a function of the dimension. Its abscissa of convergence $\alpha(G)$ describes the polynomial…

We develop tools which use common fusion systems building techniques in order to compute higher limits over the centric orbit category. We apply these tools in order to study both the Diaz-Park sharpness conjecture as well as the weaker…

In our previous work: Adv. Math. 455 (2024), no. 109880, solubility of solutions was introduced as an extension of solubility of skew braces in the classification context of non-degenerate solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation. One of our…

Rosenmann and Ventura asked "What is the right definition of dependence of subgroups for general groups?". Here we aim to answer this question. We consider a definition of subgroup independence which is a special case of a…

We show that a topologically generating set $S$ of a connected compact Lie group $G$ of size larger than a fixed polynomial in the rank of $G$ must be redundant (i.e., some proper subset of $S$ still topologically generates $G$). Similar…

A group $G$ is said to have restricted centralizers if for every $x\in G$ the centralizer $C_G(x)$ either is finite or has finite index in $G$. Shalev showed that a profinite group with restricted centralizers is virtually abelian. Here we…

Given an almost simple group $A$, we algorithmically show that the character table of $A$ determines whether or not the Sylow 3-subgroups of $A$ are 2-generated. We show this property is equivalent to a condition involving the Galois action…

We give a complete classification to when a finite group of outer automorphisms preserves a bi-order on a non-abelian free group and bi-orderable surface groups. We also give another new criterion for an outer automorphism of $F_n$ induced…

We provide examples of groups with transcendental spectral radius: We first construct finitely presented examples, using links between decidability of the Word Problem and semi-computability of the spectral radius. This argument extends to…

A skew morphism of a finite group $B$ is a permutation of $B$ fixing the identity and satisfying $\varphi(xy) = \varphi(x)\varphi^{i_x}(y)$ for some integers $i_x$ indexed by $x \in B$. The enumeration of skew morphisms of finite cyclic…

We show that generic automorphisms of stable groups are supertight in a strong sense. In particular, we obtain the existence of supertight automorphisms. We also answer a question concerning the relationship between supertight automorphisms…

We consider saturated fusion systems $\mathcal F$ on a Sylow $2$-subgroup of $\Omega^+_8(2)$ with $O_2(\mathcal F) = 1$. Examples for this are the $2$-fusion systems of $\Omega^+_8(2)$, $\Omega^+_8(2):3$, $P\Omega^+_8(3)$ and…

In this paper, with suitable assumptions, we generalize the work of K\"ulshammer and Puig on extensions of nilpotent blocks to inertial blocks.

The number of connected components can be remembered by the von Neumann algebra among Artin groups, the only possible exception being the case that corresponds to the free group factor problem. In the case of Coxeter groups, this result is…

We refine Feighn--Handel's results on subgroups of mapping tori of free groups to the special case of free-by-cyclic groups. We use these refinements to show that any finitely generated free-by-cyclic group embeds in a {finitely generated…

Let $\mathcal{L}$ be a centric linking system associated to a saturated fusion system on a finite $p$-group $S$. An automorphism of $\mathcal{L}$ is said to be rigid if it restricts to the identity on the fusion system. An inner rigid…
