We prove a conjecture of Dekimpe, De Rock and Penninckx concerning the existence of eigenvalues one in certain elements of finite groups acting irreducibly on a real vector space of odd dimension. This yields a sufficient condition for a closed flat manifold to be an -manifold.

When W is cyclic, its generators and relations can be described. Moreover, by extending it, we define a class of highest weight modules, all of which belong to the category . Additionally, we determine the simplicity of these modules and offer a cyclicity criterion for their tensor products.

The Hopf envelope of a bialgebra is the free Hopf algebra generated by the given bialgebra. Its existence, as well as that of the cofree Hopf algebra, is a well-known fact in Hopf algebra theory, but their construction is not particularly handy or friendly. In this note, we offer a novel realisation of the Hopf envelope and of the cofree Hopf algebra of a finite-dimensional bialgebra as a particular quotient and sub-bialgebra, respectively, of the bialgebra itself. Our construction can also be extended to the infinite-dimensional case, provided that the bialgebra satisfies additional conditions, such as being right perfect as an algebra or admitting a n-antipode, the latter being a notion hereby introduced. Remarkably, the machinery we develop also allows us to give a new description of the Hopf envelope of a commutative bialgebra and of the cofree cocommutative Hopf algebra of a cocommutative bialgebra.

For a group A acting by automorphisms on a group G, let denote the set of commutators , where and , so that is the subgroup generated by . We prove that if A is a π-group of automorphisms of a π-soluble finite group G such that any subset of generates a subgroup that can be generated by r elements, then the rank of is bounded in terms of r. Examples show that such a result does not hold without the assumption of π-solubility. Earlier we obtained this type of results for groups of coprime automorphisms and for Sylow p-subgroups of p-soluble groups.

Using techniques from the theory of marked bases, we develop new effective methods for detecting and constructing Cohen-Macaulay, Gorenstein and complete intersection homogeneous polynomial ideals over a field . Due to the functorial properties of marked bases, an elementary proof follows for the openness of the arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay, arithmetically Gorenstein and strict complete intersection -rational points loci in a Hilbert scheme with a non-constant Hilbert polynomial.

A theorem by Stellmacher and van Bon (2015) states that if Γ is a connected finite locally s-arc-transitive graph in which every vertex has valency at least 3, then . This theorem complements Tutte's famous theorem for s-arc-transitive finite graphs of valency 3 (showing that ) and its extension by Weiss to s-arc-transitive finite graphs of higher valency (for which ). In the current paper, the author gives a positive answer to a question by Michael Giudici, by showing that locally 9-arc-transitive graphs are not as rare as might have been expected. Specifically, it is proved that for all but finitely many n, there exists a finite graph upon which the alternating group acts as a locally 9-arc-transitive group of automorphisms. The proof involves the construction and combination of finite quotients of an amalgamated product where A and B are vertex-stabilisers of orders 12288 and 20480 intersecting in an edge-stabiliser of order 4096.

The action of the symmetric group on set partitions of a set of size 2m into m sets each of size 2 generates the Foulkes module . In this paper, we study both the ordinary and the modular structure of the twisted Foulkes module of the symmetric group , where , defined over a field. Over characteristic zero, we construct a polynomial whose coefficients are the ordinary characters of the various twisted Foulkes modules of as m and k vary. Further, when the underlying field has odd characteristic, we study the asymptotics of the non-projective part of the tensor powers of these modules by computing the gamma invariant as defined by Dave Benson and Peter Symonds.

A regular bipartite graph Γ is called semisymmetric if its full automorphism group acts transitively on the edge set but not on the vertex set. For a subgroup G of that stabilizes the biparts of Γ, we say that Γ is G-biprimitive if G acts primitively on each part. In this paper, we first provide a method to construct infinite families of biprimitive semisymmetric graphs admitting almost simple groups. With the aid of this result, a classification of G-biprimitive semisymmetric graphs is obtained for or . In pursuit of this goal, we determine all pairs of almost simple groups of the same order and all pairs of maximal subgroups of or with the same order.

We show that the following conditions are equivalent: is contact; a generic Q-orbit on is not conical; there is a generic stabiliser for the coadjoint action of . In addition, if is contact, then the subalgebra generated by symmetric semi-invariants of is a polynomial ring. We study also affine seaweed Lie algebras of type A and find some contact as well as non-contact examples among them.

We prove that under some mild conditions, each faithful Frobenius functor preserves and reflects right -Gorenstein objects and further preserves the right -Gorenstein dimension of unbounded complexes, where is the left part of a right periodic cotorsion pair. Consequently, such functors preserve and reflect Gorenstein flat-cotorsion modules. As an application, we show that the Gorenstein flat-cotorsion property of module factorizations and -shaped diagrams has a “local-global” principle. Finally, we study the behavior of relative stable categories, singularity categories and Gorenstein defect categories under Frobenius functors.

Consequently, such functors preserve and reflect Gorenstein flat-cotorsion modules. As an application, we show that the Gorenstein flat-cotorsion property of module factorizations and <span><math><mi>Q</mi></math></span>-shaped diagrams has a “local-global” principle. Finally, we study the behavior of relative stable categories, singularity categories and Gorenstein defect categories under Frobenius functors.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14888,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Algebra","volume":"692 ","pages":"Pages 463-483"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145939127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
