Abstract

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $F$ be a finite field of characteristic $2$. We introduce \emph{$F$-special subgroups} and \emph{$F$-special elements} of $G$. In the case where $F$ contains a $p$th primitive root of unity for each odd prime $p$ dividing the order of $G$ (e.g. it is the case once $F$ is a splitting field for all subgroups of $G$), the $F$-special elements of $G$ coincide with real elements of odd order. We prove that a symmetric $FG$-module $V$ is hyperbolic if and only if the restriction $V_D$ of $V$ to every $F$-special subgroup $D$ of $G$ is hyperbolic, and also, if and only if the characteristic polynomial on $V$ defined by every $F$-special element of $G$ is a square of a polynomial over $F$. Some immediate applications to characters, self-dual codes and Witt groups are given.

Hyperfiniteness of boundary actions via tree decompositions

We study conditions for a countable group acting on a connected locally finite hyperbolic graph to induce a hyperfinite orbit equivalence relation on the Gromov boundary of the graph in terms of tree-decompositions of the graph. We prove that for a connected locally finite hyperbolic graph $X$ equipped with an action of a countable group $G$, if $(T, β)$ is a $G$-invariant tree-decomposition of $X$ such that each bag induces a connected subgraph $X_t$ of $X$ for each $t \in V(T)$, each adhesion set is finite and such that there are only finitely many $G$-orbits of edges of $T$, then the orbit equivalence relation of $G$ acting on the Gromov boundary $\partial X$ is hyperfinite provided the orbit equivalence relation of $G$ acting on $\partial T$ is hyperfinite and the orbit equivalence relations of the bag stabilizers acting on $\partial X_t$ are all hyperfinite. We show that the converse also holds if $(T, β)$ satisfies the additional property that each adhesion set distinguishes at least two ends of $X$.

Compatible additions on a six-element commutative semigroup: equational bases and subvariety lattices

Let $M$ be the six-element commutative semigroup occurring as the common multiplicative reduct of the semirings $SR_6$ and $TR_6$. The closing paragraph of Shao, Ren, and Gao~\cite{ShaoRenGao2026} asks for the finite-basis and subvariety questions for the four remaining compatible additions on $M$. We answer these questions for the four isomorphism types $R_{01},R_{02},R_{11},R_{12}$. First, we classify all compatible additions on $M$: there are nine labelled additions and six isomorphism types, parametrized by $R_{ij}$ with $0\leq i\leq j\leq 2$. For each of the four new types we give a graph-theoretic criterion for every identity, an explicit infinite basis, and a proof of nonfinite basability. The generated varieties $\V(R_{01})$ and $\V(R_{02})$ have eleven subvarieties each, while $\V(R_{11})$ has sixty-six. The lattice $\Sub(\V(R_{12}))$ is countably infinite. Every identity in this variety reduces to a subset of twenty-five fixed identities together with two monotone path families $γ_n$ and $\gammaD_n$. This yields a canonical signature $(H,p,q)$, complete normal forms, explicit meet and join operations, and a formula for all covers. There are 153 fixed nodes, 43 one-parameter families, and 9 two-parameter families; exactly eighteen subvarieties are finitely based, and the unique limit subvariety is $\V(SR_6)$. The strong nonfinite-basis status of the four finite semirings remains open.
