We study the word length entropy of automorphisms of residually nilpotent groups, and how the entropy of such group automorphisms relates to the entropy of induced automorphisms on various nilpotent quotients. We show that much like the structure of a nilpotent group is dictated to a large degree by its abelianization, the entropy of an automorphism of a nilpotent group is dictated by its entro...

Fix a field F. A zero-nonzero pattern A is said to be potentially nilpotent over F if there exists a matrix with entries in F with zero-nonzero pattern A that allows nilpotence. In this paper an investigation is initiated into which zero-nonzero patterns are potentially nilpotent over F with a special emphasis on the case that F = Zp is a finite field. A necessary condition on F is observed for...

We prove that every ω-categorical, generically stable group is nilpotent-byfinite and that every ω-categorical, generically stable ring is nilpotent-by-finite.

We prove that irreducible representations of the elliptic affine Hecke algebras Ginzburg, Kapranov, and Vasserot are in one-to-one correspondence with certain nilpotent Higgs bundles on curve. The main tool we use is equivariant cohomology Steinberg variety Springer resolution. As a by-product, study at roots unity type- A . another define version Demazure-Lusztig operators dynamical parameters...

‎Let $L$ be a Lie algebra‎, ‎$mathrm{Der}(L)$ be the set of all derivations of $L$ and $mathrm{Der}_c(L)$ denote the set of all derivations $alphainmathrm{Der}(L)$ for which $alpha(x)in [x,L]:={[x,y]vert yin L}$ for all $xin L$‎. ‎We obtain an upper bound for dimension of $mathrm{Der}_c(L)$ of the finite dimensional nilpotent Lie algebra $L$ over algebraically closed fields‎. ‎Also‎, ‎we classi...

There are some new developments on Plancherel formula and growth of matrix coefficients for unitary representations of nilpotent Lie groups. These have several consequences for the geometry of weakly symmetric spaces and analysis on parabolic subgroups of real semisimple Lie groups, and to (infinite dimensional) locally nilpotent Lie groups. Many of these consequences are still under developmen...

An ideal I of a ring A is essentially nilpotent if I contains a nilpotent ideal N of A such that J 91N # 0 whenever J is a nonzero ideal of A contained in I. We show that each ring A has a unique largest essentially nilpotent ideal EN(A). We study the properties of EN(A) and, in particular, we investigate how this ideal behaves with respect to related rings.

We associate to each nilpotent orbit of a real semisimple Lie algebra go a weighted Vogan diagram, that is a Dynkin diagram with an involution of the diagram, a subset of painted nodes and a weight for each node. Every nilpotent element of go is noticed in some subalgebra of go. In this paper we characterize the weighted Vogan diagrams associated to orbits of noticed nilpotent elements.
