ACCC Chief Operating Officer Rayne de Gruchy to depart

23 April 2020

The ACCC today announced that Scott Gregson would assume the role of acting Chief Operating Officer effective from Monday 27 April 2020 following the retirement of Chief Operating Officer Rayne de Gruchy.

Ms de Gruchy joined the ACCC in 2010 and commenced in her current role in 2014, driving and shaping the ACCC’s culture to enhance its capabilities, performance and impact. She had announced her departure earlier this year and assisted Mr Gregson in the transition.

Ms de Gruchy was awarded the Public Service Medal in 2003 and was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia in 2008 for her contribution to public administration.

Before joining the ACCC, she led the Australian Government Solicitor as its inaugural Chief Executive Officer from 1999 to 2010, creating a successful government business enterprise in Australian Government ownership.

A lawyer by profession, Ms de Gruchy also held other senior executive positions in the public sector, been a non-executive director of a public company and practised law as a banking and finance partner of the law firm now known as Herbert Smith Freehills.

“We will miss Rayne’s calm and measured guidance and advice, and wish her and her family well in her much deserved retirement,” Mr Sims said.

“We thank Rayne for her outstanding career of public service and the pivotal role she has played in her time at the ACCC. Indeed, the ACCC owes much of its governance, culture, flexible working practices and success to her,” ACCC Chair Rod Sims said.

Mr Gregson spent most of his career in enforcement roles at the ACCC. His most recent role was as executive general manager of its Merger and Authorisation Review Division.

Recruitment for the permanent appointment for the COO position is expected to go ahead later in the year.

Groups up to congruence relation and from categorical groups to c-crossed modules. (arXiv:2005.03601v1 [math.CT])

We introduce a notion of c-group, which is a group up to congruence relation and consider the corresponding category. Extensions, actions and crossed modules (c-crossed modules) are defined in this category and the semi-direct product is constructed. We prove that each categorical group gives rise to c-groups and to a c-crossed module, which is a connected, special and strict c-crossed module in the sense defined by us. The results obtained here will be applied in the proof of an equivalence of the categories of categorical groups and connected, special and strict c-crossed modules.

The Congruence Subgroup Problem for finitely generated Nilpotent Groups. (arXiv:2005.03263v1 [math.GR])

The congruence subgroup problem for a finitely generated group $Gamma$ and $Gleq Aut(Gamma)$ asks whether the map $hat{G} o Aut(hat{Gamma})$ is injective, or more generally, what is its kernel $Cleft(G,Gamma ight)$? Here $hat{X}$ denotes the profinite completion of $X$. In the case $G=Aut(Gamma)$ we denote $Cleft(Gamma ight)=Cleft(Aut(Gamma),Gamma ight)$.

Let $Gamma$ be a finitely generated group, $ar{Gamma}=Gamma/[Gamma,Gamma]$, and $Gamma^{*}=ar{Gamma}/tor(ar{Gamma})congmathbb{Z}^{(d)}$. Denote $Aut^{*}(Gamma)= extrm{Im}(Aut(Gamma) o Aut(Gamma^{*}))leq GL_{d}(mathbb{Z})$. In this paper we show that when $Gamma$ is nilpotent, there is a canonical isomorphism $Cleft(Gamma ight)simeq C(Aut^{*}(Gamma),Gamma^{*})$. In other words, $Cleft(Gamma ight)$ is completely determined by the solution to the classical congruence subgroup problem for the arithmetic group $Aut^{*}(Gamma)$.

In particular, in the case where $Gamma=Psi_{n,c}$ is a finitely generated free nilpotent group of class $c$ on $n$ elements, we get that $C(Psi_{n,c})=C(mathbb{Z}^{(n)})={e}$ whenever $ngeq3$, and $C(Psi_{2,c})=C(mathbb{Z}^{(2)})=hat{F}_{omega}$ = the free profinite group on countable number of generators.

On solving quadratic congruences. (arXiv:2005.03129v1 [math.NT])

The paper proposes a polynomial formula for solution quadratic congruences in $mathbb{Z}_p$. This formula gives the correct answer for quadratic residue and zeroes for quadratic nonresidue. The general form of the formula for $p=3 ; m{mod},4$, $p=5 ; m{mod},8$ and for $p=9 ; m{mod},16$ are suggested.

203: Alan Grunblatt

Alan is the head of rock and urban at Entertainment One Music, a record label you may know better by the name it had until 2009, Koch Records. Koch is a label that had hits with veteran artists like Fat Joe’s Terror Squad, KRS-One, The Game, and Snoop Dogg; while also breaking new artists like Unk, Rich Boy, and even a then-new DJ Khaled. Hip-hop fans will remember the period in the mid-2000s where they had huge hits with Jim Jones, the Ying Yang Twins, Unk, Khaled, and more.

But Entertainment One is only a part of Alan’s story. He started out at Sony getting the Fresh Prince his first millions, and then worked at Relativity Records in the early 1990s just as the label was first getting into hip-hop, with artists like Fat Joe, the Beatnuts, and a young guy out of Chicago who called himself Common Sense. Alan was also responsible for helping to make then-regional acts like Three 6 Mafia and 8Ball & MJB rise to national prominence. He even played a key role in Eazy-E’s Ruthless Records during the period of its greatest success.
