Our area of research is in pure and applied algebra. In pure mathematics our focus is on group theory and theory of Lie rings. In applied mathematics our focus in on the mathematical modelling of complex systems, including machine learning techniques applied to finance.

Unsolved Problems in Group Theory. The Kourovka Notebook,

 20th edition, V. D. Mazurov (ed.), E. I. Khukhro (ed.), Novosibirsk, 2022.

This collection of open problems in group theory has been published every three–four years at Novosibirsk Institute of Mathematics since 1965. Problems have been proposed by hundreds of mathematicians from all over the world, the difficulty of problems ranges from PhD level to well-known problems that remain open for decades.

The current 20th edition contains 126 new problems and a number of comments on problems from the previous issues. The section “Archive of Solved Problems” includes all the solved problems from the previous issues that have already been commented on in previous issues (but new solutions are found among unsolved problems in the corresponding sections!).

More than fifty years “Kourovka Notebook” serves as a unique means of communication for researchers in Group Theory and nearby fields of mathematics. Probably the most striking illustration of its success is the fact that more than three-quarters of the problems from the 1st edition of 1965 have now been solved.

    I read the synposis of the thesis about inherent action on a kth power permutation group by one of your researchers and this seems very appropriate to the question above.
    I would love to talk to you about this, and the areas you are trying to solve in this area.
    Of course the latest areas are in solid state batteries that James Dyson has put in 20,000,000 into near Salisbury.

    Thanks
