Letbe a connected reductive algebraic group defined over an algebraically closed field. Letbe a maximal torus ofand letbe a Borel subgroup ofcontaining. LetWdenote the Weyl group ofand letẇdenote an element in the preimage of the natural map fromtoW. We investigate what conditions are necessary and sufficient for the double cosets(called Bruhat cells) to contain only regular elements. An application is provided on how this information about Bruhat cells can be used to determine character values for certain Hecke algebras. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

We show that if |Aut(G)| is odd, then without loss of generality we may assume the only primes dividing |G| are those dividing |Aut(G)|. We also classify finite abelian groups A such that |Aut(A)| = |A| and finite abelian groups A such that |Aut(A)| p = |A| p , where p is a prime dividing |A|. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Let G be a finite group and ℱ a formation. A subgroup H is called ℱ-quasinormal in G if there exists a quasinormal subgroup T of G such that HT is quasinormal in G and (H ∩ T)H G /H G is contained in the ℱ-hypercenter of G/H G . In this article, we study the structure of finite groups by using ℱ-quasinormal subgroups and prove that: Let ℱ be a saturated formation containing 𝒰 and G be a group with a normal subgroup H such that G/H ∈ ℱ. If every maximal subgroup of every noncyclic Sylow subgroup of F*(H) having no supersolvable supplement in G is 𝒰-quasinormal in G, then G ∈ ℱ. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

A smooth algebraic surface S is said to be isogenous to a product of unmixed type if there exist two smooth curves C, F and a finite group G, acting faithfully on both C and F and freely on their product, so that S = (C × F)/G. In this article, we classify the surfaces of general type with pg = q = 1 which are isogenous to an unmixed product, assuming that the group G is abelian. It turns out that they belong to four families, that we call surfaces of type I, II, III, IV. The moduli spaces I, II, IV are irreducible, whereas III is the disjoint union of two irreducible components. In the last section we start the analysis of the case where G is not abelian, by constructing several examples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Let G be a finite group and let cd(G) be the set of irreducible character degrees of G. The degree graph Δ(G) of G is the graph whose set of vertices is the set of primes that divide degrees in cd(G), with an edge between p and q if pq divides a for some degree a ϵ cd(G). In this paper, we determine the graph Δ(G) when G is a finite simple group of exceptional Lie type. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
