We prove that if $G$ is a finite simple group of Lie type and $S$ a subset of $G$ of size at least two then $G$ is a product of at most $c\log|G|/\log|S|$ conjugates of $S$, where $c$ depends only on the Lie rank of $G$. This confirms a…

Two elements in a group $G$ are said to $z$-equivalent or to be in the same $z$-class if their centralizers are conjugate in $G$. In \cite{kkj}, it was proved that a non-abelian $p$-group $G$ can have at most $\frac{p^k-1}{p-1} +1$ number…

In this article, we study connections between representation theory and efficient solutions to the conjugacy problem on finitely generated groups. The main focus is on the conjugacy problem in conjugacy separable groups, where we measure…

In this paper we compute powers in the wreath product $G\wr S_n$, for any finite group $G$. For $r\geq 2$, a prime, consider $\omega_r: G\wr S_n\to G\wr S_n$ defined by $g \mapsto g^r$. Let $P_{r}(G\wr S_n)=\frac{|\omega_r(G\wr S_n)|}{|G|^n…

The group $GL(2,Z)$ acts in a natural way on the set of pairs of $n\times n$-matrices determined up to a simultaneous conjugation. For $n=3$ we write explicit formulas for action of generators of $GL(2,Z)$ in the terms of spectral data of…

We classify bireflectional elements (products of 2 involutions) in symplectic groups Sp$(2n, K)$ over a field $K$. We also classify rev ersible elements (elements conjugate to their inverses) and bireflectional elements in finite projective…

Let $G$ be a nilpotent group and $a\in G$. Let $a^G=\{g^{-1}ag\mid g\in G\}$ be the conjugacy class of $a$ in $G$. Assume that $a^G$ and $b^G$ are conjugacy classes of $G$ with the property that $|a^G|=|b^G|=p$, where $p$ is an odd prime…

Let $q$ be a power of a prime $p$. Let $P$ be a parabolic subgroup of the general linear group $\GL_n(q)$ that is the stabilizer of a flag in $\FF_q^n$ of length at most 5, and let $U = O_p(P)$. In this note we prove that, as a function of…

It is well known that $G=\langle x,y:x^2=y^3=1\rangle$ represents the modular group $PSL(2,Z)$, where $x:z\rightarrow\frac{-1}{z}, y:z\rightarrow\frac{z-1}{z}$ are linear fractional transformations. Let $n=k^2m$, where $k$ is any non zero…

We describe algorithms and heuristics that allow us to express arbitrary elements of SLn (Z) and Sp2n (Z) as products of generators in particular "standard" generating sets. For elements obtained experimentally as random products, it…

We present a new algorithm that, given two matrices in $GL(n,Q)$, decides if they are conjugate in $GL(n,Z)$ and, if so, determines a conjugating matrix. We also give an algorithm to construct a generating set for the centraliser in…

Let $G\in\{p,q\}^*$ be a finite group with trivial center, where $p,q\in\pi(G)$ and $p>q>5$. In the present paper it is proved that $|G|_{\{p,q\}}=|G||_{\{p,q\}}$; in particular $C_G(g)\cap C_G(h)=1$ for every $p$-element $g$ and every…

For a simple algebraic group $G$ over an algebraically closed field, we study products of normal subsets. For this we mark the nodes of the Dynkin diagram of $G$. We use two types of labels, a binary marking and a labeling with non-negative…

Let G(q) be a finite Chevalley group, where q is a power of a good prime p, and let U(q) be a Sylow p-subgroup of G(q). Then a generalized version of a conjecture of Higman asserts that the number k(U(q)) of conjugacy classes in U(q) is…

Let G a be subgroup of SL(2,C), the group of 2x2 matrices of determinant 1 with complex entries. Let h map onto h(G) be a homomorphism. We call h a trace preserving homomorphism if tr(h(g))=tr(g) for all g in G,where tr(g) is the trace of…

We obtain a complete description of collections of n conjugacy classes in SU(2) with the property that the multiplication map from the product of these n conjugacy classes to SU(2) is surjective. The basic instrument is a characterization…

Let $G=PGL(2,Q_q)$. In this paper we shall investigate the group of measurable currents taking values in $G$. The key observation is that $G$ is acting by automorphisms on a homogeneous tree, which will play the role of the upper half plane…

Order three elements in the exceptional groups of type G2 are classified up to conjugation over arbitrary fields. Their centralizers are computed, and the associated classification of idempotents in symmetric composition algebras is…

We give a complete description of conjugacy classes of finite subgroups of the mapping class group of the sphere with r marked points. As a corollary we obtain a description of conjugacy classes of maximal finite subgroups of the…

For $G$ a finite group, one way to construct irreducible quandle representations over $\mathbb{C}$ of the conjugacy quandle $Conj(G)$ is by taking the product of an irreducible linear group representation of $G$ by what we call a quandle…
