We consider the problem of constructing a convex ear decomposition for a poset. The usual technique, introduced by Nyman and Swartz, starts with a $CL$-labeling and uses this to shell the 'ears' of the decomposition. We axiomatize the necessary conditions for this technique as a "$CL$-ced" or "$EL$-ced". We find an $EL$-ced of the $d$-divisible partition lattice, and a closely related convex ear decomposition of the coset lattice of a relatively complemented finite group. Along the way, we construct new $EL$-labelings of both lattices. The convex ear decompositions so constructed are formed by face lattices of hypercubes. We then proceed to show that if two posets $P_{1}$ and $P_{2}$ have convex ear decompositions ($CL$-ceds), then their products $P_{1}\times P_{2}$, $P_{1}\check{\times} P_{2}$, and $P_{1}\hat{\times} P_{2}$ also have convex ear decompositions ($CL$-ceds). An interesting special case is: if $P_{1}$ and $P_{2}$ have polytopal order complexes, then so do their products.

We examine PBW deformations of finite group extensions of quantum symmetric algebras, in particular the quantum Drinfeld orbifold algebras defined by the first author. We give a homological interpretation, in terms of Gerstenhaber brackets, of the necessary and sufficient conditions on parameter functions to define a quantum Drinfeld orbifold algebra, thus clarifying the conditions. In case the acting group is trivial, we determine conditions under which such a PBW deformation is a generalized enveloping algebra of a color Lie algebra; our PBW deformations include these algebras as a special case.

There is a well-known bijection between parking functions of a fixed length and maximal chains of the noncrossing partition lattice which we can use to associate to each set of parking functions a poset whose Hasse diagram is the union of the corresponding maximal chains. We introduce a decomposition of parking functions based on the largest number omitted and prove several theorems about the corresponding posets. In particular, they share properties with the noncrossing partition lattice such as local self-duality, a nice characterization of intervals, a readily computable Möbius function, and a symmetric chain decomposition. We also explore connections with order complexes, labeled Dyck paths, and rooted forests.

Let G be a finite group. A subgroup H of G is called conjugate-permutable in G if HHg = HgH for any g ∈ G. A group G is called an ECP-group if every subgroup of G is conjugate-permutable in G. In this paper, we study the influence of conjugate-permutable subgroups on the structure of a finite group, especially on the nilpotency or supersolvability of the group, and give some sufficient or necessary conditions for a finite group to be an ECP-group.

Let [Formula: see text] be a finite group. A subgroup [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] is called to be [Formula: see text]-permutable in [Formula: see text] if [Formula: see text] permutes with all Sylow subgroups of [Formula: see text]. A subgroup [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] is said to be [Formula: see text]-supplemented in [Formula: see text] if there exists a subgroup [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is [Formula: see text]-permutable in [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we investigate [Formula: see text]-nilpotency of a finite group. As applications, we give some sufficient and necessary conditions for a finite group belongs to a saturated formation.

From the time of Begriffsschrift onwards, Frege treated functions of two or more places on a par with those of one place. This included the treatment of relations (Beziehungen) as a special case of polyadic functions in the way that concepts (Begriffe) were a special case of monadic functions. By the time of Grundgesetze (and unlike in Begriffsschrift), Frege dealt with relations largely through their extensions, which were what he called “double value-ranges” (Doppelwerthverläufe). This is in some ways a misnomer, since double value-ranges are simply a special case of single or ordinary value-ranges, namely value-ranges of functions derived from the value-ranges of monadic functions with additional saturated places. Frege’s treatment of the extensions of relations (which he came to call simply “Relationen”) thus embodies a move analogous to the treatment of polyadic functions as functions of functions, a device invented in 1920 by Moses Schönfinkel and since (unfairly) known in combinatory logic as “currying”. This paper considers the details of Frege’s Grundgesetze treatment of relations via their extensions, exhibits its grammar, and indicates its formal elegance by comparing it with other possible treatments.

In this seminar, Winnicott describes his personal views in relation to meeting the condition of clinical regression in psychoanalysis. Winnicott reminds his students that he accepts the basic principles of psychoanalysis as laid down by Freud but adds that, in some cases, the psychoanalytic setting and the careful maintenance of that setting (reliability and management) are as important as the way the analyst deals verbally with the material. He suggests that in this kind of work with regressed patients it is as if the patient gradually seduces the analyst into collusion with the infant within the patient, the infant who received inadequate attention at the earliest stages. The patient is not there to work in a productive way with the analyst, except when the analyst provides these necessary conditions.

Throughout this paper, S will be a ring (not necessarily commutative) with an identity element ls ≠ 0s. We shall use R to denote a second ring, and ϕ: S→ R will be a fixed ring homomorphism for which ϕ1S = 1R.In (7), Higman generalized the Casimir operator of classical theory and used his generalization to characterize relatively projective and injective modules. As a special case, he obtained a theorem which contains results of Eckmann (3) and of Higman himself (5), and which also includes Gaschütz's generalization (4) of Maschke's theorem. (For a discussion of some of the developments of Maschke's idea of averaging over a finite group, we refer the reader to (2, Chapter IX).) In the present paper, we define the Casimir operator of a family of S-homomorphisms of one R-module into another, and we again use this operator to characterize relatively projective and injective modules.

AbstractWe prove a characteristic free version of Weyl’s theorem on polarization. Our result is an exact analogue ofWeyl’s theorem, the difference being that our statement is about separating invariants rather than generating invariants. For the special case of finite group actions we introduce the concept of cheap polarization, and show that it is enough to take cheap polarizations of invariants of just one copy of a representation to obtain separating vector invariants for any number of copies. This leads to upper bounds on the number and degrees of separating vector invariants of finite groups.

Abstract Let $(\mathcal{K},\mathcal{O},k)$ be a $p$-modular system where $p$ is a prime and $k$ algebraically closed, let $b$ be a $G$-invariant block of the normal subgroup $H$ of a finite group $G$, having defect pointed group $Q_\delta$ in $H$ and $P_\gamma$ in $G$ and consider the block extension $b\mathcal{O}G$. One may attach to $b$ an extended local category $\mathcal{E}_{(b,H,G)}$, a group extension $L$ of $Z(Q)$ by $N_G(Q_\delta )/C_H(Q)$ having $P$ as a Sylow $p$-subgroup, and a cohomology class $[\alpha ]\in H^2(N_G(Q_\delta )/QC_H(Q),k^\times )$. We prove that these objects are invariant under the $G/H$-graded basic Morita equivalences. Along the way, we give alternative proofs of the results of Külshammer and Puig (1990), and Puig and Zhou (2012) on extensions of nilpotent blocks. We also deduce by our methods a result of Zhou (2016) on $p^{\prime}$-extensions of inertial blocks.

AbstractAn equivariant map queer Lie superalgebra is the Lie superalgebra of regular maps from an algebraic variety (or scheme) X to a queer Lie superalgebra q that are equivariant with respect to the action of a finite group Γ acting on X and q. In this paper, we classify all irreducible finite-dimensional representations of the equivariant map queer Lie superalgebras under the assumption that Γ is abelian and acts freely on X. We show that such representations are parameterized by a certain set of Γ-equivariant finitely supported maps from X to the set of isomorphism classes of irreducible finite-dimensional representations of q. In the special case where X is the torus, we obtain a classification of the irreducible finite-dimensional representations of the twisted loop queer superalgebra.
