We evaluate combinatorially certain connection coefficients of the symmetric group that count the number of factorizations of a long cycle as a product of three permutations. Such factorizations admit an important topological interpretation…

Let (S, B) be the log pair associated with a projective completion of a smooth quasi-projective surface V . Under the assumption that the boundary B is irreducible, we obtain an algorithm to factorize any automorphism of V into a sequence…

We prove that the automorphism group of a topological parallelism on real projective 3-space is compact. In a preceding article it was proved that at least the connected component of the identity is compact. The present proof does not…

A finite group $G$ is \emph{coprimely-invariably generated} if there exists a set of generators $\{g_1, ..., g_u\}$ of $G$ with the property that the orders $|g_1|, ..., |g_u|$ are pairwise coprime and that for all $x_1, ..., x_u \in G$ the…

In this article we give self-contained existence proofs for the sporadic simple groups Co_2 and Fi_{22} using the second author's algorithm [10] constructing finite simple groups from irreducible subgroups of GL_n(2). These two sporadic…

This paper describes the homology of various simplicial complexes associated to set families from combinatorial number theory, including primitive sets, pairwise coprime sets, product-free sets, and coprime-free sets. We present a condition…

Let $(S,*)$ be an involutive local ring and let $U(2m,S)$ be the unitary group associated to a nondegenerate skew hermitian form defined on a free $S$-module of rank $2m$. A presentation of $U(2m,S)$ is given in terms of Bruhat generators…

We show that the left regular representation of Neretin groups is factorial, providing the first example of a non-discrete simple group with this property. This is based on a new criterion of factoriality for totally disconnected groups.…

A representation theorem is proved for De Morgan monoids that are (i) semilinear, i.e., subdirect products of totally ordered algebras, and (ii) negatively generated, i.e., generated by lower bounds of the neutral element. Using this…

We study the combinatorial, algebraic and geometric properties of the free product operation on matroids. After giving cryptomorphic definitions of free product in terms of independent sets, bases, circuits, closure, flats and rank…

We define a semidirect product groupoid of a system of partially defined local homeomorphisms $T=(T_{1},..., T_{r})$. We prove that this construction gives rise to amenable groupoids. The associated algebra is a Cuntz-like algebra. We use…

Let $F_n$ be the free group on $n\ge 2$ elements and $\A(F_n)$ its group of automorphisms. In this paper we present a rich collection of linear representations of $\A(F_n)$ arising through the action of finite index subgroups of it on…

In this paper, we prove that if G is a finite simple group with the same-size conjugacy class set U(G) = U(PSL(2, 11)), then G is isomorphic to PSL(2, 11).

A homomorphism from a completely metrizable topological group into a free product of groups whose image is not contained in a factor of the free product is shown to be continuous with respect to the discrete topology on the range. In…

We first develop a general theory of Johnson filtrations and Johnson homomorphisms for a group $G$ acting on another group $K$ equipped with a filtration indexed by a "good" ordered commutative monoid. Then, specializing it to the case…

We prove that three automorphisms of the rooted binary tree defined by a certain 3-state automaton generate a free non-Abelian group of rank 3.

The observed replication of fermions in three families is undoubtedly a reflection of a deeper symmetry underlying the standard model. In this paper we investigate one very elementary possibility, that physics above the grand unification…

We construct and describe the basic properties of a family of semifields in characteristic $2.$ The construction relies on the properties of projective polynomials over finite fields. We start by associating non-associative products to each…

Symmetric cohomology of groups, defined by M. Staic in [2], is similar to the way one defines the cyclic cohomology for algebras. We show that there is a well-defined restriction, conjugation and transfer map in symmetric cohomology, which…

The Dold$-$Thom theorem states that for a sufficiently nice topological space, M, there is an isomorphism between the homotopy groups of the infinite symmetric product of M and the homology groups of M itself. The crux of most known proofs…
