This paper is the first part of a study devoted to description of modular elements in the lattices of semigroup and epigroup varieties. We provide strengthened necessary and sufficient conditions under which a semigroup or epigroup variety…

In this paper, we investigate nilpotent Lie algebras $ L $ of nilpotency class $3 $ and provide a complete classification of those satisfying $ \dim L^2 = 3 $ and $Z(L) = L^3 \cong A(2). $ Furthermore, we explicitly characterize the…

Biggs gave an explicit construction, using finite colored trees, of finite permutation groups whose Cayley graphs have valence \(C\) and girth tending to infinity as the radius \(R\) of the tree tends to infinity. We show that when the…

A representation $\Phi: G \to \mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{F})$ of a finite group $G$ is called unisingular if the matrix $\Phi(g)$ admits $1$ as an eigenvalue for any $g\in G$. In this paper, we determine all the complex irreducible unisingular…

We expand the dictionary between the action of a torus homeomorphism on the fine curve graph and its rotation set. More precisely, we show that the fixed points at infinity of a loxodromic element determine the rotation set up to scale. A…

Let $G$ be a nontrivial transitive permutation group on a finite set $\Omega$. By a classical theorem of Jordan, $G$ contains a derangement, which is an element with no fixed points on $\Omega$. Given a prime divisor $r$ of $|\Omega|$, we…

Let $X$ be a Riemann surface, and let $f:X\to\mathbb{P}^1_\mathbb{C}$ be an indecomposable (branched) covering of genus $g$ and degree $n$ whose monodromy group has more than one minimal normal subgroup. Closing a gap in the literature, we…

Horocyclic products are a well-studied class of metric spaces that provide models for various solvable Lie groups, Baumslag-Solitar groups, and Lamplighter groups. Let $G$ act geometrically on a horocyclic product $X \bowtie Y$ of…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $m \geq 2$ a positive integer. We say that $G$ admits an \emph{oriented $m$-semiregular representation} (abbreviated as OmSR) if there exists a $m$-Cayley digraph $\Gamma$ over $G$ such that $\Gamma$ is…

Let $T$ be a finite non-abelian simple group. Giudici, Morgan and Praeger have shown that the order of $T$ is bounded above by a function depending on the maximum number of $\mathrm{Aut}(T)$-classes of elements of $T$ of prime-power order.…

We prove that every sofic approximation of a property (T) group is approximately isomorphic to one having geometric property (T), and more generally, a box space of graphs which has boundary geometric property (T) is approximately…

We survey the known group properties that a sequence of finite groups or group actions needs to satisfy to admit subsets of bounded cardinality producing expander Cayley or Schreier graphs. We prove that an infinite amenable group and…

Given a finite group $G$, its prime graph $\Gamma(G)$ (also known as its Gruenberg-Kegel graph) is the graph whose vertices are the prime divisors of $|G|$ and where edges $\{p, q\}$ exist whenever $G$ contains an element of order $pq$. We…

In 1991, Z\'emor proposed a hash function which provides data security using the difficulty of writing a given matrix as a product of generator matrices. Tillich and Z\'emor subsequently provided an algorithm finding short collisions for…

In this paper, we investigate the relationship between matched pairs of Lie algebras and Rota-Baxter Lie algebras. First, we show that every Rota-Baxter Lie algebra $(\mathfrak{g},B)$ of weight $-1$ gives rise to a matched pair of Lie…

We present a generalization of Weinstein's morphism defined on $\pi_{2k-1} ( \textup{Ham} (M,\omega)) $. We use this morphism to show that for $n\geq 2$ the Lie group $SU(2)$ induces an element in $\pi_3(\textup{Ham}…

Let $G$ be a group. The directed endomorphism graph, $\dend(G)$ of $G$ is a directed graph with vertex set $G$ and there is a directed edge from the vertex $a$ to the vertex $b$ if $a \neq b$ and there exists an endomorphism on $G$ mapping…

We describe the subracks of the conjugacy classes of $\mathrm{PSL}(2,q)$ based on Dickson's theorem on subgroups of $\mathrm{PSL}(2,q)$. All minimal non-abelian subracks of $\mathrm{PSL}(2,q)$ are determined. Further, we provide a general…

For a weakly branch group $G$ acting on a regular enough rooted tree, we provide two constructions of continuous families of distinct subgroups that are not closed in the profinite topology on $G$. On the one hand, we construct a continuous…

We develop a representation theory of categories as a means to explore characteristic structures in algebra. Characteristic structures play a critical role in isomorphism testing of groups and algebras, and their construction and…
