Here we consider algebraic varieties which are closures of products of conjugacy classes in algebraic groups. Estimates for the dimension of such varieties are obtained. Moreover, these estimates are used in some questions of the Invariant Theory. Also, the structure of the monoid generated by the s

Let G be an abelian p-group, let K be a field of characteristic different from p, and let KG be the group algebra of G over K. In this paper we give a description Ž .

Random walk on the chambers of hyperplane arrangements is used to define a family of card shuffling measures H W x for a finite Coxeter group W and real x = 0. By algebraic group theory, there is a map from the semisimple orbits of the adjoint action of a finite group of Lie type on its Lie algebra
We show that in the group U ކ , a Sylow 2-subgroup of GL ކ , there are elements not conjugate to their inverses if n G 13. It follows that there are irreducible characters of this group that are not real-valued, and that a conjecture of Kirillov is not correct as stated. We give a partial expla
