Let $G$ be a reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field and let $V$ be a quasi-projective $G$-variety. We prove that the set of points $v\in V$ such that ${\rm dim}(G_v)$ is minimal and $G_v$ is reductive is open. We also…

Let $G$ be a permutation group on a set $\Omega$. A base for $G$ is a subset of $\Omega$ whose pointwise stabiliser is trivial, and the base size of $G$ is the minimal cardinality of a base. If $G$ has base size $2$, then the corresponding…

Let X be a coherent configuration associated with a transitive group G. In terms of the intersection numbers of X, a necessary condition for the point stabilizer of G to be a TI-subgroup, is established. Furthermore, under this condition, X…

Let G be a linear group acting on the finite vector space V and assume that (|G|,|V|)=1. In this paper we prove that G has a base size at most two and this estimate is sharp. This generalizes and strengthens several former results…

A $k$-tuple $(H_1, \ldots, H_k)$ of core-free subgroups of a finite group $G$ is said to be regular if $G$ has a regular orbit on the Cartesian product $G/H_1 \times \cdots \times G/H_k$. The regularity number of $G$, denoted $R(G)$, is the…

Let G be a finite solvable permutation group. Then modulo a possibly trivial normal elementary abelian 3-subgroup, some set-stabilizer in G is a 2-group.

This article began as a study of the structure of infinite permutation groups G in which point stabilisers are finite and all infinite normal subgroups are transitive. That led to two variations. One is the generalisation in which point…

Let $G$ be a finite permutation group acting on $\Omega$. A base for $G$ is a subset $B \subseteq \Omega$ such that the pointwise stabilizer $G_{(B)}$ is the identity. The base size of $G$, denoted by $b(G)$, is the cardinality of the…

Let $G$ be a permutation group on the finite set $\Omega$. We prove various results about partitions of $\Omega$ whose stabilizers have good properties. In particular, in every solvable permutation group there is a set-stabilizer whose…

Let G be an automorphism group of a nontrivial t-(k^2,k,\lambda) design. In this paper, we prove that if G is block-transitive, then the socle of G cannot be a finite simple exceptional group of Lie type.

In this note, we prove that if $(G,V)$ is a prehomogeneous vector space over any field $k$ such that the stabilizer of a generic point is reductive, the set of semi-stable points is a single orbit over the separable closure of $k$.

Let $X$ be a compact Riemann surface of genus $g\geq 2$. Let $Aut(X)$ be its group of automorphisms and $G\subseteq Aut(X)$ a subgroup. Sharp upper bounds for $|G|$ in terms of $g$ are known if $G$ belongs to certain classes of groups, e.g.…

It is proved that if a finite $p$-soluble group $G$ admits an automorphism $\varphi$ of order $p^n$ having at most $m$ fixed points on every $\varphi$-invariant elementary abelian $p'$-section of $G$, then the $p$-length of $G$ is bounded…

Let $G$ be a finite group, and assume that $G$ has an automorphism of order at least $\rho|G|$, with $\rho\in\left(0,1\right)$. Generalizing recent analogous results of the author on finite groups with a large automorphism cycle length, we…

We study finite transitive permutation groups $G\leqslant\operatorname{Sym}(\Omega)$ such that all orbits of the conjugation action on $G$ of the normaliser of $G$ in $\operatorname{Sym}(\Omega)$ have size bounded by some constant. Our…

We show that the dual of the cone of divisors on a complete Q-factorial toric variety X whose stable base loci have dimension less than k is generated by curves on small modifications that move in families sweeping out the birational…

For a fixed finite solvable group $G$ and number field $K$, we prove an upper bound for the number of $G$-extensions $L/K$ with restricted local behavior (at infinitely many places) and ${\rm inv}(L/K)<X$ for a general invariant $"{\rm…

With every nontrivial connected algebraic group $G$ we associate a positive integer ${\rm gtd}(G)$ called the generic transitivity degree of $G$ and equal to the maximal $n$ such that there is a nontrivial action of $G$ on an irreducible…

It is a classical result of Kaimanovich and Vershik and independently of Rosenblatt that a non-amenable group admits a non-degenerate symmetric measure such that the Poisson boundary is trivial. Most if not all examples to date of non-free…

Let $G$ be a permutation group on a finite set $\Omega$. The base size of $G$ is the minimal size of a subset of $\Omega$ with trivial pointwise stabiliser in $G$. In this paper, we extend earlier work of Fawcett by determining the precise…
