a group g is said to be a (pf)c-group or to have polycyclic-by-finite conjugacy classes, if g/c_{g}(x^{g}) is a polycyclic-by-finite group for all xin g. this is a generalization of the familiar property of being an fc-group. de falco et al. (respectively, de giovanni and trombetti) studied groups whose proper subgroups of infinite rank have finite (respectively, polycyclic) conjugacy classes. ...

We propose a low-rank transformation-learning framework to robustify subspace clustering. Many high-dimensional data, such as face images and motion sequences, lie in a union of low-dimensional subspaces. The subspace clustering problem has been extensively studied in the literature to partition such highdimensional data into clusters corresponding to their underlying low-dimensional subspaces....

In this paper we construct infinite families of non-linear maximum rank distance codes by using the setting of bilinear forms of a finite vector space. We also give a geometric description of such codes by using the cyclic model for the field reduction of finite geometries and we show that these families contain the non-linear maximum rank distance codes recently provided by Cossidente, Marino ...

a result of dixon‎, ‎evans and smith shows that if $g$ is a locally (soluble-by-finite) group whose proper subgroups are (finite rank)-by-abelian‎, ‎then $g$ itself has this property‎, ‎i.e‎. ‎the commutator subgroup of $g$ has finite rank‎. ‎it is proved here that if $g$ is a locally (soluble-by-finite) group whose proper subgroups have minimax commutator subgroup‎, ‎then also the commutator s...

the triple factorization of a group $g$ has been studied recently showing that $g=aba$ for some proper subgroups $a$ and $b$ of $g$, the definition of rank-two geometry and rank-two coset geometry which is closely related to the triple factorization was defined and calculated for abelian groups. in this paper we study two infinite classes of non-abelian finite groups $d_{2n}$ and $psl(2,2^{n})$...

For each rank metric code C ⊆ K, we associate a translation structure, the kernel of which is showed to be invariant with respect to the equivalence on rank metric codes. When C is K-linear, we also propose and investigate other two invariants called its middle nucleus and right nucleus. When K is a finite field Fq and C is a maximum rank distance code with minimum distance d < min{m,n} or gcd(...

this paper gives a short survey of some of the known results generalizing the theorem, credited to i. schur, that if the central factor group is finite then the derived subgroup is also finite.

We determine for all simple simply connected reductive linear algebraic groups defined over a finite field all irreducible representations in their defining characteristic of degree below some bound. These also give the small degree projective representations in defining characteristic for the corresponding finite simple groups. For large rank l our bound is proportional to l3 and for rank 11 m...
