We give a rank augmentation technique for rank 3 string C-group representations of the symmetric group $S_n$ and list the hypotheses under which it yields a valid string C-group representation of rank 4 thereof.

If $G$ is a transitive group of degree $n$ having a string C-group of rank $r\geq (n+3)/2$, then $G$ is necessarily the symmetric group $S_n$. We prove that if $n$ is large enough, up to isomorphism and duality, the number of string…

If $\Gamma$ is a string C-group which is isomorphic to a transitive subgroup of the symmetric group Sym(n) (other than Sym(n) and the alternating group Alt(n)), then the rank of $\Gamma$ is at most $n/2+1$, with finitely many exceptions…

String C-groups are precisely the automorphism groups of abstract regular polytopes. A certain regular d-polytope C_d with an automorphism group of order 2^{2d-1}, discovered by Conder and shown to have the smallest number of flags among…

Regular incidence complexes are combinatorial incidence structures generalizing regular convex polytopes, regular complex polytopes, various types of incidence geometries, and many other highly symmetric objects. The special case of…

Building on recent work of Robertson and Steger, we associate a C*-algebra to a combinatorial object which may be thought of as a higher rank graph. This C*-algebra is shown to be isomorphic to that of the associated path groupoid.…

We show that a rank reduction technique for string C-group representations first used for the symmetric groups generalizes to arbitrary settings. The technique permits us, among other things, to prove that orthogonal groups defined on…

We determine the ranks of string C-group representations of the groups ${\rm PSp}(4,\mathbb{F}_q)\cong\Omega(5,\mathbb{F}_q)$, and comment on those of higher-dimensional symplectic and orthogonal groups.

The study of string C-group representations of rank at least $n/2$ for the symmetric group $S_n$ has gained a lot of attention in the last fifteen years. In a recent paper, Cameron et al. gave a list of permutation representation graphs of…

We obtain explicit formulas for the rational homotopy groups of generalised symmetric spaces, i.e., the homogeneous spaces for which the isotropy subgroup appears as the fixed point group of some finite order automorphism of the group. In…

We study the general and connected stable ranks for $C^{\ast}$-algebras. We estimate these ranks for certain $C(X)$-algebras, and use that to do the same for certain group $C^{\ast}$-algebras. Furthermore, we also give estimates for the…

For classical groups SL(n), SO(n) and Sp(2n), we define uniformly geometric valuations on the corresponding complete flag varieties. The valuation in every type comes from a natural coordinate system on the open Schubert cell and is…

In this paper, string C-groups of all ranks $3 \leq r \leq \frac{n}{2}$ are provided for each alternating group $A_n$, $n \geq 12$. As the string C-group representations of $A_n$ have also been classified for $n \leq 11$, and it is known…

We construct a family of groups from suitable higher rank graphs which are analogues of the finite symmetric groups. We introduce homological invariants showing that many of our groups are, for example, not isomorphic to $nV$, when $n \geq…

New continuous group transforms, together with their discretization over a lattice of any density and admissible symmetry, are defined for a general compact simple Lie groups of rank $2\leq n<\infty$. Rank 1 transforms are known. Rank 2…

We describe proper correspondences from graph C*-algebras to arbitrary C*-algebras by K-theoretic data. If the target C*-algebra is a graph C*-algebra as well, we may lift an isomorphism on a certain invariant to correspondences back and…

In this paper, we investigate some applications of commutator subgroups to homotopy groups and geometric groups. In particular, we show that the intersection subgroups of some canonical subgroups in certain link groups modulo their…

We introduce the notion of a topological higher-rank graph, a unified generalization of the higher-rank graph and the topological graph. Using groupoid techniques, we define the Toeplitz and Cuntz-Krieger algebras of topological higher-rank…

We study the general and connected stable ranks for C*-algebras. We estimate these ranks for pullbacks of C*-algebras, and for tensor products by commutative C*-algebras. Finally, we apply these results to determine these ranks for certain…

We study incidence geometries that are thin and residually connected. These geometries generalise abstract polytopes. In this generalised setting, guided by the ideas from the polytopes theory, we introduce the concept of chirality, a…
