Let $K$ be a field of characteristic different from 2 and let $G$ be a group. If the algebra $UT_n$ of $n\times n$ upper triangular matrices over $K$ is endowed with a $G$-grading $\Gamma: UT_n=\oplus_{g\in G}A_g$ we give necessary and…

We show that the special unitary group associated to an involution of the second kind on a central division algebra of degree three does not contain hermitian or skew-hermitian elements. Especially, there are no reflections. For Albert's…

A permutation group is {\it binary} if its orbits on $k$-tuples, for any integer $k\geq 2$, can be deduced from its orbits on $2$-tuples. Cherlin conjectured that a finite primitive binary permutation group $G$ must lie in one of three…

We define an action of the symmetric group on the set of domino tableaux, and prove that the number of domino tableaux of a given weight does not depend on the permutation of components of the last. A bijective proof of the well-known…

The minimal degree of a permutation group $G$ is the minimum number of points not fixed by non-identity elements of $G$. Lower bounds on the minimal degree have strong structural consequences on $G$. In 2014 Babai proved that the…

The Delaunay triangulation (DT) is one of the most common and useful triangulations of point sets $P$ in the plane. DT is not unique when $P$ is degenerate, specifically when it contains quadruples of co-circular points. One way to achieve…

Let $\Omega$ be a set of cardinality $n$, $G$ a permutation group on $\Omega$, and $f:\Omega\to\Omega$ a map which is not a permutation. We say that $G$ \emph{synchronizes} $f$ if the transformation semigroup $\langle G,f\rangle$ contains a…

Let $G,D_{0},D_{1}$ be finite groups such that $D_{0}\trianglelefteq D_{1}$ are groups of automorphisms of $G$ that contain the inner automorphisms of $G$. Assume that $D_{1}/D_{0}$ has a normal $2$-complement and that $D_{1}$ acts…

In 2008, Schneider and Van Maldeghem proved that if a group acts flag-transitively, point-primitively, and line-primitively on a generalised hexagon or generalised octagon, then it is an almost simple group of Lie type. We show that…

An action of a group $G$ is highly transitive if $G$ acts transitively on $k$-tuples of distinct points for all $k \geq 1$. Many examples of groups with a rich geometric or dynamical action admit highly transitive actions. We prove that if…

Let $X$ be a real-analytic manifold and $g\colon X\to{\mathbf R}^n$ a proper triangulable subanalytic map. Given a subanalytic $r$-form $\omega$ on $X$ whose pull-back to every non singular fiber of $g$ is exact, we show tha $\omega$ has a…

Given a permutation group $G$, the derangement graph of $G$ is defined with vertex set $G$, where two elements $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if $xy^{-1}$ is a derangement. We establish that, if $G$ is transitive with degree exceeding…

We show that any group $G$ is contained in some sharply 2-transitive group $\mathcal{G}$ without a non-trivial abelian normal subgroup. This answers a long-standing open question. The involutions in the groups $\mathcal{G}$ that we…

Let G be a permutation group, acting on a set \Omega of size n. A subset B of \Omega is a base for G if the pointwise stabilizer G_(B) is trivial. Let b(G) be the minimal size of a base for G. A subgroup G of Sym(n) is large base if there…

We give a simple construction for hyperelliptic varieties defined as the quotient of a complex torus by the action of a dihedral group that contains no translations and fixes no points. This generalizes a construction given by Catanese and…

Recent work has proposed a method for imposing T-duality on the metric, $B$-field, and dilaton of the classical effective action of string theory without using Kaluza-Klein reduction. Specifically, the $D$-dimensional effective action…

Trialitarian triples are triples of central simple algebras of degree 8 with orthogonal involution that provide a convenient structure for the representation of trialitarian algebraic groups as automorphism groups. This paper explicitly…

A derangement is a permutation with no fixed point, and a nonderangement is a permutation with at least one fixed point. There is a one-term recurrence for the number of derangements of $n$ elements, and we describe a bijective proof of…

We study endomorphisms of a free group of finite rank by means of their action on specific sets of elements. In particular, we prove that every endomorphism of the free group of rank 2 which preserves an automorphic orbit (i.e., acts ``like…

Let $\Gamma_{g,1}^m$ be the mapping class group of the orientable surface $\Sigma_{g,1}^m$ of genus $g$ with one parametrised boundary curve and $m$ permutable punctures; when $m=0$ we omit it from the notation. Let…
