Let K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, and let G be a connected reductive algebraic group over K. We address the problem of classifying triples (G, H, V ), where H is a proper connected subgroup of G, and V is a finitedimensional ir ...
In this thesis, we investigate the inverse problem of trees and barcodes from a combinatorial, geometric, probabilistic and statistical point of view.Computing the persistent homology of a merge tree yields a barcode B. Reconstructing a tree from B invol ...
We construct a verifiable delay function (VDF). A VDF is a function whose evaluation requires running a given number of sequential steps, yet the result can be efficiently verified. They have applications in decentralised systems, such as the generation of ...
Let be a simple exceptional algebraic group of adjoint type over an algebraically closed field of characteristic and let be a subgroup of containing a regular unipotent element of . By a theorem of Testerman, is contained in a connected subgroup of of type ...
Let G be a simple linear algebraic group over an algebraically closed field K of characteristic p≥0. In this thesis, we investigate closed connected reductive subgroups X<G that contain a given distinguished unipotent element u of G. Our ...
Let G be a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field K of characteristic p >= 0, let H be a proper closed subgroup of G and let V be a nontrivial irreducible KG-module, which is p-restricted, tensor indecomposable and rational. Assume that ...
Nowadays, one area of research in cryptanalysis is solving the Discrete Logarithm Problem (DLP) in finite groups whose group representation is not yet exploited. For such groups, the best one can do is using a generic method to attack the DLP, the fastest ...
Fix an algebraically closed field K having characteristic p≥0 and let Y be a simple algebraic group of classical type over K. Also let X be maximal among closed connected subgroups of Y and consider a non-trivial p-restricted irreducible ...
Thévenaz [6] made an interesting observation that the number of conjugacy classes of cyclic subgroups in a finite group G is equal to the rank of the matrix of the numbers of double cosets in G. We give another proof of this fact and present a fusion syste ...
The aim of this paper is to construct an equivalent of the Dade group of a p-group for an arbitrary finite group G, whose elements are equivalences classes of endo-p-permutation modules. To achieve this goal we use the theory of relative projectivity with ...
The contragredient transformation A bar right arrow P-1 AP-(inverted perpendicular) , B bar right arrow P-inverted perpendicular BP of two matrices A, B effects simultaneous similarity transformations of the products AB and BA. This work provides structure ...
We produce a rigid triple of classes in the algebraic group G(2) in characteristic 5, and use it to show that the finite groups G(2)(5(n)) are not (2, 5, 5)-generated. ...
Let G be a simple algebraic group defined over an algebraically closed field k whose characteristic is either 0 or a good prime for G, and let u is an element of G be unipotent. We study the centralizer C-G(u), especially its centre Z(C-G(u)). We calculate ...
Let K be a field with char(K) ≠ 2. The Witt-Grothendieck ring (K) and the Witt ring W (K) of K are both quotients of the group ring ℤ[𝓖(K)], where 𝓖(K) := K*/(K*)2 is the square class group of K. Since ℤ[𝓖(K)] is integra ...
Let k be a field of characteristic p, let P be a finite p-group, where p is an odd prime, and let D(P) be the Dade group of endo-permutation kP-modules. It is known that D(P) is detected via deflation-restriction by the family of all sections of P which ar ...
This dissertation is concerned with the study of irreducible embeddings of simple algebraic groups of exceptional type. It is motivated by the role of such embeddings in the study of positive dimensional closed subgroups of classical algebraic groups. The ...
