Let G be an exceptional Lie group with a maximal torus T ⊂ G. We express the integral cohomology ring H(G/T ) by a minimal set of Schubert classes on G/T . This completes the program of determining the integral cohomology of all complete flag manifolds G/T in the context of Schubert calculus. The results are used in [DZ3] to construct the integral cohomology of a simple Lie group G in terms of ...

In a previous work of the authors, a middle convolution operation on the category of Fuchsian differential systems was introduced. In this note we show that the middle convolution of Fuchsian systems preserves the property of global nilpotence. This leads to a globally nilpotent Fuchsian system of rank two which does not belong to the known classes of globally nilpotent rank two systems. Moreov...

Let $G$ be a finite group. We construct the prime graph of $ G $,which is denoted by $ Gamma(G) $ as follows: the vertex set of thisgraph is the prime divisors of $ |G| $ and two distinct vertices $ p$ and $ q $ are joined by an edge if and only if $ G $ contains anelement of order $ pq $.In this paper, we determine finite groups $ G $ with $ Gamma(G) =Gamma(L_3(q)) $, $2 leq q < 100 $ and prov...

Understanding the exceptional Lie groups as the symmetry groups of simpler objects is a longstanding program in mathematics. Here, we explore one famous realization of the smallest exceptional Lie group, G2. Its Lie algebra g2 acts locally as the symmetries of a ball rolling on a larger ball, but only when the ratio of radii is 1:3. Using the split octonions, we devise a similar, but more globa...

Let G be a simple primitive subgroup of Sn, speciied in terms of a set of generating permutations. If jGj n 5 , eecient algorithms are presented that nd \the most natural permutation representation" of G. For example, if G is a classical group then we nd a suitable projective space underlying G. A number of related questions are considered. Our notion of \eeciency" takes into account many exist...

Let G be a finite group , in this paper using the order and largest element order of G we show that every finite group with the same order and largest element order as G 2 (q), where q 11 is necessarily isomorphic to the group G 2 (q)

Proposition 1. (Grunewald [5, Proposition B]) Let F be a free group of rank k ≥ 2, generated by {s1, . . . , sk}. Let r1, . . . , rm be words over {s1, . . . , sk} ±1 and R their normal closure 〈〈r1, . . . , rm〉〉F in F . Let H be the group with presentation 〈s1, . . . , sk | r1, . . . , rm〉 and φ the canonical epimorphism φ : F → H ∼= F/R. Let F be a free group of rank k generated by {t1, . . ....

Let G be a finite group and let $GK(G)$ be the prime graph of G. We assume that $n$ is an odd number. In this paper, we show that if $GK(G)=GK(B_n(p))$, where $ngeq 9$ and $pin {3,5,7}$, then G has a unique nonabelian composition factor isomorphic to $B_n(p)$ or $C_n(p)$ . As consequences of our result, $B_n(p)$ is quasirecognizable by its spectrum and also by a new proof, the ...
