We show how, by making use of a new basis of the IIB supergravity axion-dilaton coset, SL(2,R)/SO(2), 7-branes that belong to different conjugacy classes of the duality group SL(2,R) naturally couple to IIB supergravity with appropriate source terms characterized by an SL(2,R) charge matrix Q. The conjugacy classes are determined by the value of the determinant of Q. The (p, q) 7-branes are the...

1.1. Matching regular semisimple conjugacy classes. Let X(F ) = F × F×, viewed as the space of semisimple conjugacy classes in GL2(F ) via GL2(F ) → X(F ) sending γ 7→ (Tr(γ),det(γ)). Similarly we have D× → X(F ) sending γ′ 7→ (TrD/F (γ),NmD/F (γ′)), where TrD/F and NmD/F mean reduced trace and norm. For regular semisimple γ ∈ GL2(F ) and γ′ ∈ D×, we write γ ∼ γ′ if they have the same image in ...

‎Let G be a finite group and Z(G) be the center of G‎. ‎For a subset A of G‎, ‎we define kG(A)‎, ‎the number of conjugacy classes of G that intersect A non-trivially‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎we verify the structure of all finite groups G which satisfy the property kG(G-Z(G))=5, and classify them‎.

‎Let $G$ be a finite group‎. ‎We say that the derived covering number of $G$ is finite if and only if there exists a positive integer $n$ such that $C^n=G'$ for all non-central conjugacy classes $C$ of $G$‎. ‎In this paper we characterize solvable groups $G$ in which the derived covering number is finite‎.‎ 

We describe a set of subgroups isomorphic to S4 in PΓO(5, q), q ≡ 5(6), and prove that they belong to exactly two different conjugacy classes. As an application we use a representative group in each of the conjugacy classes to construct a number of BLT-sets of Q(4, q), some of which were previously found by computer in [5] (see also [4]), others of which are new.

Let G be an affine algebraic group over an algebraically closed field whose identity component G0 is reductive. Let W be the Weyl group of G and let D be a connected component of G whose image in G/G0 is unipotent. In this paper we define a map from the set of “twisted conjugacy classes” in W to the set of unipotent G0-conjugacy classes in D generalizing an earlier construction which applied wh...

We use theorems of N. Karpenko about the incompressibility of Severi Brauer varieties and quadratic Weil transfers of Severi Brauer varieties to compute the minimal number of parameters needed to define conjugacy classes of involutions of given type on division algebras of 2-primary index. Similarly we compute the minimal number of parameters needed to define conjugacy classes of étale subalgeb...

Besides being of independent interest in understanding the structure of (partial) MUB collections and their conjugacy classes, satisfactory answers to these questions will help the following investigations: – the search for lower bounds on the number of MUBs and specifically for efficient constructions; – the search for upper bounds on the number of MUBs even for small non-prime-power dimension...

We show that untwisted respectively twisted conjugacy classes of a compact and simply connected Lie group which satisfy a certain integrality condition correspond naturally to irreducible highest weight representations of the corresponding affine Lie algebra. Along the way, we review the classification of twisted conjugacy classes of a simply connected compact Lie group G and give a description...

A special type of conjugacy classes in symmetric groups is studied and used to answer a question about odd-degree irreducible characters.
