Let $U$ be a Sylow $p$-subgroup in a classical group over a finite field with $q$ elements of characteristic $p$ large enough. The coadjoint orbits of the group $U$ play the key role in the description of irreducible complex characters of $U$. In the paper, we provide a classification of such orbits of pre-maximal dimension for symplectic groups and orbits of maximal dimension for orthogonal groups. As a corollary, we compute the number of all orbits mentioned above. It turned out that each of these numbers is a polynomial in $q - 1$ with integer non-negative coefficients, which agrees with the Isaacs'conjecture.
We obtain a characterization of finite non-$p$-groups with five automorphism orbits. In the solvable case of Fitting height $3$, the groups are precisely $S_4$ and $C_2^4\rtimes D_{10}$. Moreover, the corresponding fixed-point subspaces form a spread in a finite projective space. For Fitting height $2$, we distinguish...
For a finite group $G$, let $\lambda(G)$ denote the minimum number of orbits on the elements of a finite lattice $L$ with $\operatorname{Aut}(L)\cong G$. Babai and Goodman conjectured that $\lambda(G)$ is bounded by an absolute constant. We prove that $\lambda(G)\leq 50$ for every finite group $G$, thereby confirming t...

We consider a double flag variety of the form $L/Q\times G/P$ where $G$ is a connected reductive group and $L$ is a Levi subgroup of $G$. The Levi subgroup $L$ acts diagonally on this double flag variety and a basic problem is to classify pairs of parabolic subgroups $P\subset G$ and $Q\subset L$ such that there are fi...
Let $A$ and $G$ be finite groups such that $A$ acts coprimely on $G$ by automorphisms. For any fixed prime divisor $p$ of $|G|$, we prove that if every non-nilpotent maximal $A$-invariant subgroup of $G$ of order divisible by $p$ is normal then $G$ has a Sylow tower and $G$ is $q$-nilpotent or $q$-closed for each prime...
Given a pair of complementary subgroups $P$ and $N$ of a finite group $G$, we first discuss how the same type of functions $\mathbb E\colon P\times N\to \mathbb T$, which we call bi-$1$-cocycles, appear naturally in the study of projective representations of $G$ of Heisenberg type and second cohomology of $G$ and of it...

We prove that the maximal derived length of a solvable subgroup of the plane Cremona group over $\mathbb C$ is equal to $5$. The main difficulty is the case of subgroups containing loxodromic elements. To treat this case, we prove that the maximal derived length of a finite solvable subgroup is $4$ and establish a cent...
