Extended Abstracts Utm Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia | 23-26 January 2017 PROCEEDINGS OF THE FOURTH BIENNIAL INTERNATIONAL GROUP THEORY CONFERENCE 2017 (4BIGTC2017) EXTENDED ABSTRACTS UTM KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA | 23-26 JANUARY 2017 Organized by Applied Algebra and Analysis Research Group (AAAG) in collaboration with Faculty of Science & UTM International Proceedings of The Fourth Biennial International Group Theory Conference 2017 (4BIGTC2017) 23-26 January 2017 Extended Abstracts Universiti Teknologi Malaysia Malaysia Preface The Biennial International Group Theory Conference (BIGTC) is a series of conference that is organized every two years, and has been hosted by three countries - Malaysia, Turkey and Iran. The aim of this conference is to exchange the research ideas amongst the group theorists and postgraduate students. In addition, specialists in the subject of group theory can present their latest research works and encourage interested students to progress and widen their knowledge in group theory. Certainly this provides great opportunities for the graduate students, junior researchers and specialist in the region, which end up with joint research works internationally. The First, Second and Third BIGTC have already taken place in Malaysia (UTM Johor Bahru), Turkey (Istanbul) and Iran (Mashhad), respectively. Once again, this Fourth Biennial International Group Theory Conference 2017 (4BIGTC2017) is hosting by Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) but this time in UTM Kuala Lumpur. We do hope that others countries besides Malaysia, Turkey and Iran will also join us in organizing BIGTC in the future. This book contains collection of extended abstracts in the broad subject of group theory. All extended abstracts, which will be presented in the plenary, invited or parallel talks in the conference, have been collected in this booklet for the convenience of the participants. We would like to thank all participants and the plenary & invited speakers, who showed interest to attend and give talks in this conference. As the wide range of topics covered by the contributed talks made it necessary to hold different sessions in parallel, so we hope that this collection would in some sense make up the missing talks. This conference is organized by the Applied, Algebra and Analysis Research Group (AAAG) in collaboration with Faculty of Science and UTM International, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. We are grateful to the Malaysian Mathematical Sciences Society and Centre of Excellence in Analysis on Algebraic Structures (CEAAS) of Ferdowsi University Mashhad, Iran for their generous financial support. We are grateful to the members of Scientific Committee, the members of organizing committee and all plenary and invited speakers of contributed talks for maintaining the stimulating atmosphere and above all, to all of our participants for making this event an unforgettable one. Thanks to the staff of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad for collecting all the abstracts and make this booklet available. Finally, we are thankful to all academic and non-academic staff of UTM International in our Kuala Lumpur Campus, who have helped us in organizing this conference. PROF. DR. AHMAD ERFANIAN PROF. DR.

As well said by Hermann Wey1: "Symmetry is a vast subject signi• ficant in art and nature. Whenever you have to do with a structure endowed entity, try to determine the group of those transformations which leave all structural relations undisturbed." This passage underlies that the group concept is one of the most fundamental and most important in modern mathematics and its applications.

It is an autonomous institute fully funded by the Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India. Till October 10, 2000 the Institute was known as Mehta Research Institute of Mathematics and Mathematical Physics (MRI) after which it was renamed as Harish-Chandra Research Institute (HRI) after the internationally acclaimed mathematician, late Prof Harish-Chandra. The Institute started with efforts of Dr. B. N. Prasad, a mathematician at the University of Allahabad with initial support from the B. S. Mehta Trust, Kolkata. Dr. Prasad was succeeded in January 1966 by Dr. S. R. Sinha, also of Allahabad University. He was followed by Prof. P. L. Bhatnagar as the first formal Director. After an interim period in January 1983, Prof. S. S. Shrikhande joined as the next Director of the Institute. During his tenure the dialogue with the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) entered into decisive stage and a review committee was constituted by the DAE to examine the Institutes fu- ture. In 1985 N. D. Tiwari, the then Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, agreed to provide sufficient land for the Institute and the DAE promised financial sup- port for meeting both the recurring and non-recurring expenditure.

  • Fundamental Theorems in Mathematics
    SOME FUNDAMENTAL THEOREMS IN MATHEMATICS OLIVER KNILL Abstract. An expository hitchhikers guide to some theorems in mathematics. Criteria for the current list of 243 theorems are whether the result can be formulated elegantly, whether it is beautiful or useful and whether it could serve as a guide [6] without leading to panic. The order is not a ranking but ordered along a time-line when things were writ- ten down. Since [556] stated “a mathematical theorem only becomes beautiful if presented as a crown jewel within a context" we try sometimes to give some context. Of course, any such list of theorems is a matter of personal preferences, taste and limitations. The num- ber of theorems is arbitrary, the initial obvious goal was 42 but that number got eventually surpassed as it is hard to stop, once started. As a compensation, there are 42 “tweetable" theorems with included proofs. More comments on the choice of the theorems is included in an epilogue. For literature on general mathematics, see [193, 189, 29, 235, 254, 619, 412, 138], for history [217, 625, 376, 73, 46, 208, 379, 365, 690, 113, 618, 79, 259, 341], for popular, beautiful or elegant things [12, 529, 201, 182, 17, 672, 673, 44, 204, 190, 245, 446, 616, 303, 201, 2, 127, 146, 128, 502, 261, 172].

  • Varieties of Groups and Isologisms
    J. Austral. Math. Soc. (Series A) 46 (1989), 22-60 VARIETIES OF GROUPS AND ISOLOGISMS N. S. HEKSTER (Received 2 February 1987) Communicated by H. Lausch Abstract In order to classify solvable groups Philip Hall introduced in 1939 the concept of isoclinism. Subsequently he defined a more general notion called isologism. This is so to speak isoclinism with respect to a certain variety of groups. The equivalence relation isologism partitions the class of all groups into families. The present paper is concerned with the internal structure of these families. 1980 Mathematics subject classification (Amer. Math. Soc.) (1985 Revision): 20 E 10, 20 E 99, 20 F 14. Keywords and phrases: variety of groups, isologism. 1. Introduction, preliminaries and notational conventions It is a well-known fact that solvable groups are difficult to classify because of the abundance of normal subgroups. In a certain sense the class of groups of prime- power order is the simplest case to handle. But already here the classification is far from being complete. Up to now there are only a few classes of such prime- power order groups which have been adequately analysed. The first to create some order in the plethora of groups of prime-power order was Philip Hall. He observed that the notion of isomorphism of groups is really too strong to give rise to a satisfactory classification and that it had to be replaced by a weaker equivalence relation. Subsequently he discovered a suitable equivalence relation and called it isoclinism of groups (see [6]). It is this classification principle that 1989 Australian Mathematical Society 0263-6115/89 SA2.00 + 0.00 22 Downloaded from https://www.cambridge.org/core.

  • A Sketch of the History and State of Automated Deduction
    A Sketch of the History and State of Automated Deduction David A. Plaisted October 19, 2015 Introduction • Ed Reingold influenced me to do algorithms research early in my career, and this led to some good work. However, my main research area now is automatic theorem proving, so I will discuss this instead. • This talk will be a survey touching on some aspects of the state of the field of automated deduction at present. The content of the talk will be somewhat more general than the original title indicated; thus the change in title. This talk should be about 20 minutes long. I’m planning to put these notes on the internet soon. There is a lot to cover in 20 minutes, so it is best to leave most questions until the end. Proofs in Computer Science • There is a need for formal proofs in computer science, for example, to prove the correctness of software, or to prove theorems in a theoretical paper. • There is also a need for proofs in other areas such as mathematics. • It can be helpful to have programs that check proofs or even help to find the proofs. 1 Automated Deduction • This talk emphasizes systems that do a lot of proof search on their own, either to find the whole proof automatically or large parts of it, without the user specifying each application of each rule of inference. • There are also systems that permit the user to construct a proof and check that the rules of inference are properly applied. History of Automated Deduction Our current state of knowledge in automated deduction came to us by a long and complicated process of intellectual development.

  • Isoclinism in Probability of Commuting N-Tuples 1 Introduction
    Isoclinism in Probability of Commuting n-tuples A. Erfanian and F. Russo Department of Mathematics, Centre of Excellency in Analysis on Algebraic Structures, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Mashhad, Iran. [email protected] Department of Mathematics, University of Naples, Naples, Italy. [email protected] Abstract Strong restrictions on the structure of a group G can be given, once that it is known the probability that a randomly chosen pair of elements of a finite group G commutes. Introducing the notion of mutually commuting n-tuples for compact groups (not necessary finite), the present paper generalizes the probability that a randomly chosen pair of elements of G commutes. We shall state some results concerning this new concept of probability which has been recently treated in [3]. Furthermore a relation has been found between the notion of mutually commuting n-tuples and that of isoclinism between two arbitrary groups. Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary: 20D60, 20P05; Sec- ondary: 20D08. Keywords: Mutually commuting pairs,commuting n-tuples, commutativ- ity degree, isoclinic groups. 1 Introduction Let G be a finite group, then the probability that a randomly chosen pair of elements of G commutes is defined to be #com(G)=jGj2, where #com(G) is 2 A. Erfanian and F. Russo the number of pairs (x; y) 2 G × G = G2 with xy = yx and will be briefly denoted by cp(G). From [6], one may easily find that cp(G) = k(G)=jGj, where k(G) is the number of conjugacy classes of G. So, there is no ambiguity to use one or the other ratio in the universe of finite groups.
