Products of conjugacy classes and fixed point spaces [PDF]
, 2011 We prove several results on products of conjugacy classes in finite simple groups. The first result is that there always exists a uniform generating triple.

Abelian and non-Abelian branes in WZW models and gerbes
, 2004 We discuss how gerbes may be used to set up a consistent Lagrangian approach to the WZW models with boundary. The approach permits to study in detail possible boundary conditions that restrict the values of the fields on the worldsheet boundary to brane ...

Dual spaces of geodesic currents
Journal of Topology, Volume 18, Issue 4, December 2025.Abstract Every geodesic current on a hyperbolic surface has an associated dual space. If the current is a lamination, this dual embeds isometrically into a real tree. We show that, in general, the dual space is a Gromov hyperbolic metric tree‐graded space, and express its Gromov hyperbolicity constant in terms of the geodesic current.

Derangements in primitive permutation groups, with an application to character theory
, 2014 Let $G$ be a finite primitive permutation group and let $\kappa(G)$ be the number of conjugacy classes of derangements in $G$. By a classical theorem of Jordan, $\kappa(G) \geqslant 1$.

Persistence of unknottedness of clean Lagrangian intersections
Journal of Topology, Volume 18, Issue 4, December 2025.Abstract Let Q0$Q_0$ and Q1$Q_1$ be two Lagrangian spheres in a six‐dimensional symplectic manifold. Assume that Q0$Q_0$ and Q1$Q_1$ intersect cleanly along a circle that is unknotted in both Q0$Q_0$ and Q1$Q_1$. We prove that there is no nearby Hamiltonian isotopy of Q0$Q_0$ and Q1$Q_1$ to a pair of Lagrangian spheres meeting cleanly along a circle ...

Normal covering numbers for Sn$S_n$ and An$A_n$ and additive combinatorics
Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 57, Issue 11, Page 3307-3325, November 2025.Abstract The normal covering number γ(G)$\gamma (G)$ of a noncyclic group G$G$ is the minimum number of proper subgroups whose conjugates cover the group. We give various estimates for γ(Sn)$\gamma (S_n)$ and γ(An)$\gamma (A_n)$ depending on the arithmetic structure of n$n$. In particular we determine the limsups over γ(Sn)/n$\gamma (S_n) / n$ and γ(An)

The number of regular semisimple conjugacy classes in the finite classical groups [PDF]
, 2012 Using generating functions, we enumerate regular semisimple conjugacy classes in the finite classical groups. For the general linear, unitary, and symplectic groups this gives a different approach to known results; for the special orthogonal groups the ...

Twisted Burnside-Frobenius theory for endomorphisms of polycyclic groups
, 2017 Let $R(\phi)$ be the number of $\phi$-conjugacy (or Reidemeister) classes of an endomorphism $\phi$ of a group $G$. We prove for several classes of groups (including polycyclic) that the number $R(\phi)$ is equal to the number of fixed points of the ...

Degrees and prime power order zeros of characters of symmetric and alternating groups
Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 57, Issue 11, Page 3408-3428, November 2025.Abstract We show that the p$p$‐part of the degree of an irreducible character of a symmetric group is completely determined by the set of vanishing elements of p$p$‐power order. As a corollary, we deduce that the set of zeros of prime power order controls the degree of such a character. The same problem is analysed for alternating groups, where we show

Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 57, Issue 11, Page 3441-3453, November 2025.Abstract We prove that (under appropriate orientation assumptions), the action of a Hamiltonian homeomorphism ϕ$\phi$ on the cohomology of a relatively exact Lagrangian fixed by ϕ$\phi$ is the identity. This extends results of Hu–Lalonde–Leclercq [Geom. Topol. 15 (2011), no. 3, 1617–1650] and the author [Selecta Math. (N.S.) 30 (2024), no. 2, Paper No.
