      [OWP-2020-21] Chapman, Adam (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2020-10-22)
      In this paper, we prove that given an octonion algebra $A$ over a field $F$, a subring $E \subseteq F$ and an octonion $E$-algebra $R$ inside $A$, the set $S$ of polynomials $f(x) \in A[x]$ satisfying $f(R) \subseteq R$ ...

      Let $G$ be a finite group. It was remarked by Breuillard-Green-Guralnick-Tao that if the Cayley graph $C(G,S)$ is an expander graph and is non-bipartite then the spectrum of the adjacency operator $T$ is bounded away from ...

      A pair of non-empty subsets $(W,W')$ in an abelian group $G$ is a complement pair if $W+W'=G$. $W'$ is said to be minimal to $W$ if $W+(W'\setminus \{w'\}) \neq G, \forall \,w'\in W'$. In general, given an arbitrary subset ...

      [OWP-2010-06] Blok, Rieuwert J.; Hoffman, Corneliu (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2010-03-10)
      In [7] we define a Curtis-Tits group as a certain generalization of a Kac-Moody group. We distinguish between orientable and non-orientable Curtis-Tits groups and identify all orientable Curtis-Tits groups as Kac-Moody ...
