Lie groups as permutation groups: Ulam's problem in the nilpotent case

Ulam asked whether every connected Lie group can be represented on a countable structure. This is known in the linear case. We establish it for the first family of non-linear groups, namely in the nilpotent case. Further context is discussed to illustrate ...

Subgroups of elliptic elements of the Cremona group

The Cremona group is the group of birational transformations of the complex projective plane. In this paper we classify its subgroups that consist only of elliptic elements using elementary model theory. This yields in particular a description of the struc ...

A cell fitness selection model for neuronal survival during development

Gioele La Manno

Developmental cell death plays an important role in the construction of functional neural circuits. In vertebrates, the canonical view proposes a selection of the surviving neurons through stochastic competition for target-derived neurotrophic signals, imp ...

Revisiting the nilpotent polynomial Hales–Jewett theorem

Florian Karl Richter

Answering a question posed by Bergelson and Leibman in [6], we establish a nilpotent version of the Polynomial Hales–Jewett Theorem that contains the main theorem in [6] as a special case. Important to the formulation and the proof of our main theorem is t ...

Central Subalgebras Of The Centralizer Of A Nilpotent Element

Donna Testerman

Let G be a connected, semisimple algebraic group over a field k whose characteristic is very good for G. In a canonical manner, one associates to a nilpotent element X is an element of Lie(G) a parabolic subgroup P - in characteristic zero, P may be descri ...

Equivalences between blocks of p-local Mackey algebras

Baptiste Thierry Pierre Rognerud

Let G be a finite group and (K, O, k) be a p-modular system. Let R = O or k. There is a bijection between the blocks of the group algebra and the blocks of the so-called p-local Mackey algebra mu(1)(R)(G). Let b be a block of RG with abelian defect group D ...

Diophantine properties of nilpotent Lie groups

A finitely generated subgroup F of a real Lie group G is said to be Diophantine if there is beta > 0 such that non-trivial elements in the word ball B-Gamma(n) centered at 1 is an element of F never approach the identity of G closer than broken vertical ba ...

The xi-stability on the affine grassmannian

Zongbin Chen

We introduce a notion of xi-stability on the affine grassmannian (SIC) for the classical groups, this is the local version of the xi-stability on the moduli space of Higgs bundles on a curve introduced by Chaudouard and Laumon. We prove that the quotient ( ...

Cellular properties of nilpotent spaces

Jérôme Scherer

We show that cellular approximations of nilpotent Postnikov stages are always nilpotent Postnikov stages, in particular classifying spaces of nilpotent groups are turned into classifying spaces of nilpotent groups. We use a modified Bousfield-Kan homology ...

Phosphorylation of Diaminopyridines: Synthesis of a Compound Containing Both a Diphosphinoamine ( P-N-P) and an Iminobiphosphine ( N=P-P) Fragment

Paul Joseph Dyson, Rosario Scopelliti, Zhaofu Fei, Wee Han Ang, Emilia Paunescu

The phosphorylation of a series of diaminopyridines (2,3-, 3,4-, 2,5- and 2,6-diaminopyridine), with various molecular equivalents of chlorodiphenylphosphine in the presence of TEA has been studied. Notably, phosphorylation of 2,3- and 3,4-diaminopyridine ...
