We show that for every prime $r$ all $r$-subgroups in the normalized units of the integral group ring of $\operatorname{PSL}(2,p^3)$ are isomorphic to subgroups of $\operatorname{PSL}(2,p^3)$. This answers a question of M. Hertweck, C.R.…

We explicitly determine all of the transitive groups of degree p-squared, p a prime, whose Sylow p-subgroup is not the wreath product of two cyclic groups of order p. Furthermore, we provide a general description of the transitive groups of…

Let $[n]=\{1,\ldots,n\}$ be the $n$-chain. We give presentations for the following transformation semigroups: the semigroup of full order-decreasing mappings of $[n]$, the semigroup of partial one-to-one order-decreasing mappings of $[n]$,…

This paper classifies quasiprimitive permutation groups with a transitive subgroup which is isomorphic to $\A_n$ for some $n\geqslant5$.

Let $G$ be a transitive permutation group of degree $n$. We say that $G$ is $2'$-elusive if $n$ is divisible by an odd prime, but $G$ does not contain a derangement of odd prime order. In this paper we study the structure of quasiprimitive…

We prove that the minimal cardinality of the semitransitive subsemigroup in the singular part $\IS_n\setminus \S_n$ of the symmetric inverse semigroup $\IS_n$ is $2n-p+1$, where $p$ is the greatest proper divisor of $n$, and classify all…

In this paper we study finite semiprimitive permutation groups, that is, groups in which each normal subgroup is transitive or semiregular. We give bounds on the order, base size, minimal degree, fixity, and chief length of an arbitrary…

Let $[n]=\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ be a finite chain and let $\mathcal{P}_{n}$ be the semigroup of partial transformations on $[n]$. Let $\mathcal{CP}_{n}=\{\alpha\in \mathcal{P}_{n}: (for~all ~x,y\in Dom~\alpha)~|x\alpha-y\alpha|\leq|x-y|\}$, then…

A transitive permutation group is semiprimitive if each of its normal subgroups is transitive or semiregular. Interest in this class of groups is motivated by two sources: problems arising in universal algebra related to collapsing monoids…

We construct here the first known examples of non-split sharply 2-transitive groups of bounded exponent in odd positive characteristic for every large enough prime $p \equiv 3 \pmod{4}$. In fact, we show that there are countably many…

We study the orbits under the natural action of a permutation group $G \subseteq S_n$ on the powerset $\mathscr{P}(\{1, \dots , n\})$. The permutation groups having exactly $n+1$ orbits on the powerset can be characterized as set-transitive…

Let $p$ be a prime. A $p$-group $G$ is defined to be semi-extraspecial if for every maximal subgroup $N$ in $Z(G)$ the quotient $G/N$ is a an extraspecial group. In addition, we say that $G$ is ultraspecial if $G$ is semi-extraspecial and…

Given a prime power $p^d$ with $p$ a prime and $d$ a positive integer, we classify the finite groups $G$ with $p^{2d}$ dividing $|G|$ in which all subgroups of order $p^d$ are complemented and the finite groups $G$ having a normal…

We describe all supergroups with the largest even supersubgroups being isomorphic to $\mathrm{GL}_2, \mathrm{SL}_2$ or $\mathrm{PSL}_2$. These results are applied to the description of centralizers of certain tori in the quasi-reductive…

In this paper, we completely classify the non-trivial 2-(v,k,3) designs admitting an almost simple, flag-transitive automorphism group with socle PSL(2,q).

In this paper, we study almost subnormal subgroups of the general linear group $\GL_n(D)$ of degree $n\ge 1$ over a division ring $D$ that satisfy a generalized power central group identity.

We reduce a case of the hidden subgroup problem (HSP) in SL(2; q), PSL(2; q), and PGL(2; q), three related families of finite groups of Lie type, to efficiently solvable HSPs in the affine group AGL(1; q). These groups act on projective…

Recent classification of $\frac{3}{2}$-transitive permutation groups leaves us with six families of groups which are $2$-transitive, or Frobenius, or one-dimensional affine, or the affine solvable subgroups of $ \mathrm{AGL}(2, q)$, or…

We determine a supercharacter theory for Sylow $p$-subgroups ${^2{G}_2^{syl}(3^{2m+1})}$ of the Ree groups $^2{G}_2(3^{2m+1})$, calculate the conjugacy classes of ${^2{G}_2^{syl}(3^{2m+1})}$, and establish the character table of…

Let $p$ be an odd prime and let $n$ be a natural number. In this article we determine the irreducible constituents of the permutation module induced by the action of the symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_n$ on the cosets of a Sylow $p$-subgroup…
