We consider a family of 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras associated to uniform complete graphs on odd number of vertices. We prove that the symmetry group of such a graph is the holomorph of the additive cyclic group $\Z_n$. Moreover, we prove…
Let $\alpha$ and $\beta$ be real numbers such that $1$, $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are linearly independent over $\mathbb{Q}$. A classical result of Dirichlet asserts that there are infinitely many triples of integers $(x_0,x_1,x_2)$ such that…
Let $G$ be an arbitrary group. We show that if the Fitting subgroup of $G$ is nilpotent then it is definable. We show also that the class of groups whose Fitting subgroup is nilpotent of class at most $n$ is elementary. We give an example…
Let $n$ be a non-zero integer. A set $S$ of positive integers is a Diophantine tuple with the property $D(n)$ if $ab+n$ is a perfect square for each $a,b \in S$ with $a \neq b$. It is of special interest to estimate the quantity $M_n$, the…
For $G$ a finite group, let $d_2(G)$ denote the proportion of triples $(x, y, z) \in G^3$ such that $[x, y, z] = 1$. We determine the structure of finite groups $G$ such that $d_2(G)$ is bounded away from zero: if $d_2(G) \geq \epsilon >…
We call a finite, spanning set of a semi-simple real Lie algebra a distinguished set if it satisfies the following property: The Lie bracket of any two elements out of the set is, up to some constant, another element in the set; conversely,…
A set of m distinct positive integers {a_{1},...a_{m}} is called a Diophantine m-tuple if a_{i}a_{j}+n is a square for each 1\leqi<j\leqm . The aim of this study is to show that some P_{k} sets can not be extendible to a Diophantine…
Let K >= 1 be a parameter. A K-approximate group is a finite set A in a (local) group which contains the identity, is symmetric, and such that A^2 is covered by K left translates of A. The main result of this paper is a qualitative…
We study symplectic structures on nilpotent Lie algebras. Since the classification of nilpotent Lie algebras in any dimension seems to be a crazy dream, we approach this study in case of 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras (in this sub-case also,…
Let $n>0$ be an integer and $\mathcal{X}$ be a class of groups. We say that a group $G$ satisfies the condition $(\mathcal{X},n)$ whenever in every subset with $n+1$ elements of $G$ there exist distinct elements $x,y$ such that $<x,y>$ is…
We study the minimal dimension of solvable and nilpotent Lie algebras over a field of characteristic zero with given derived length $k$. This is motivated by questions on nildecomposable Lie algebras $\Lg=\La+\Lb$, arising in the context of…
We describe the structure of ``K-approximate subgroups'' of torsion-free nilpotent groups, paying particular attention to Lie groups. Three other works, by Fisher-Katz-Peng, Sanders and Tao, have appeared which independently address related…
We study nilpotent groups acting faithfully on complex algebraic varieties. We use a method of base change. For finite p-groups, we go from $k$, a number field, to a finite field in order to use counting lemmas. We show that a finite…
Let K be a field of positive characteristic p and KG the group algebra of a group G. It is known that if KG is Lie nilpotent then its upper (or lower) Lie nilpotency index is at most |G'|+1, where |G'| is the order of the commutator…
The semigroup of the homotopy classes of the self-homotopy maps of a finite complex which induce the trivial homomorphism on homotopy groups is nilpotent. We determine the nilpotency of these semigroups of compact Lie groups and finite Hopf…
For each complex 8-dimensional filiform Lie algebra we find another non isomorphic Lie algebra that degenerates to it. Since this is already known for nilpotent Lie algebras of rank $\ge 1$, only the caracteristically nilpotent ones should…
Let $G$ be a unitriangular matrix group of nilpotency class at most ten. We show that the Identity Problem (does a semigroup contain the identity matrix?) and the Group Problem (is a semigroup a group?) are decidable in polynomial time for…
For a prime p, a Diophantine m-tuple in $\mathbb{F}_p$ is a set of m nonzero elements of $\mathbb{F}_p$ with the property that the product of any two of its distinct elements is one less than a square. In this paper, we present formulas for…
A Riemannian manifold is called \emph{weakly Einstein} if the tensor $R_{iabc}R_{j}^{~~abc}$ is a scalar multiple of the metric tensor $g_{ij}$. We consider weakly Einstein Lie groups with a left-invariant metric which are weakly Einstein.…
A group law is said to be detectable in power subgroups if, for all coprime $m$ and $n$, a group $G$ satisfies the law if and only if the power subgroups $G^m$ and $G^n$ both satisfy the law. We prove that for all positive integers $c$,…
