As announced in [arXiv:0908.2596], we show that the non-passive finite simple groups are among the $PSL_2(q)$ with $q-1 \ge 4$ a 2-power. [arXiv:0908.2596]: Baumeister,Stein,Stroth: On Bruck Loops of 2-power Exponent

In this paper, we give a characterization of the normal subgroups of index $2^{s}(2n+1),\ s\in\{1,2\},\ n\in \mathbb{N}$ and of the subgroups of index three of the group representation of the Cayley tree.

In the integral cohomology ring of the classifying space of the projective linear group $PGL_n$ (over $\mathbb{C}$), we find a collection of $p$-torsions $y_{p,k}$ of degree $2(p^{k+1}+1)$ for any odd prime divisor $p$ of $n$, and $k\geq…

We compute the characters of real irreducible representations of SL(2,q), the special linear group on q letters, for an odd prime $q$. Moreover, we give the dimensions of these irreducible representations under the actions of cyclic…

We consider Lie groups ${\rm SU}(n,1)$ and ${\rm Sp}(n,1)$ that act as the isometries of the complex and quaternionic hyperbolic spaces respectively. We classify pairs of semisimple elements in ${\rm Sp}(n,1)$ and ${\rm SU}(n,1)$ up to…

Let $p$ be an odd prime with $p\equiv1\bmod 4$. Then for any odd power $q$ of $p$ and a positive integer $j$ we show that the groups $\text{Sp}_{p^j+1}(q),\text{PSp}_{p^j+1}(q)$, and their Sylow $p$-subgroups are non-$FSZ_{p^j}$.

Let $G$ be an almost simple group with socle $A_n$, the alternating group of degree $n$. We prove that there is a unit of order $pq$ in the integral group ring of $G$ if and only if there is an element of that order in $G$ provided $p$ and…

Let $G$ be a transitive permutation group on a finite set of size at least $2$. By a well known theorem of Fein, Kantor and Schacher, $G$ contains a derangement of prime power order. In this paper, we study the finite primitive permutation…

We establish a correspondence between certain Lie superalgebras with 16 fermionic generators, and half-BPS solutions to supergravities with 32 supersymmetries. Three cases are discussed. For Type IIB supergravity, we relate semi-simple Lie…

Recently, Zhu classified all the SIC-POVMs whose symmetry groups act doubly transitively. Lattices of integers in the complex numbers, the quaternions and the octonions yield the key parts of these symmetry groups.

Let $[n]$ be a finite $n-$chain $\{1, 2, \dots, n\}$, and let $\mathcal{LS}_{n}$ be the Schr\"{o}der monoid, consisting of all isotone and order-decreasing partial transformations on $[n]$. Furthermore, let $\mathcal{SS}^{\prime}_{n} =…

In this paper we describe some properties of groups $G$ that contain a solvable subgroup of finite prime-power index (Theorem 1 and Corollaries 2--3). We prove that if $G$ is a non-solvable group that contains a solvable subgroup of index…

Sums over inverse s-th powers of semiprimes and k-almost primes are transformed into sums over products of powers of ordinary prime zeta functions. Multinomial coefficients known from the cycle decomposition of permutation groups play the…

Let G be a finite solvable permutation group. Then modulo a possibly trivial normal elementary abelian 3-subgroup, some set-stabilizer in G is a 2-group.

In this article, we study $2$-designs with prime replication number admitting a flag-transitive automorphism group. The automorphism groups of these designs are point-primitive of almost simple or affine type. We determine $2$-designs with…

A group G is called special p-group of rank k if the commutator subgroup [G,G] and centre Z(G) are equal, which is elementary abelian p-group of rank k and G/[G,G] is also elementary abelian p-group. In this article we determine the Schur…

Pairwise non-isomorphic semigroups obtained from the finite inverse symmetric semigroup $\mathcal{IS}_n ,$ finite symmetric semigroup $\mathcal{T}_n$ and bicyclic semigroup by the deformed multiplication proposed by Ljapin are classified.

This paper almost classifies the maximal subgroups of $E_7(q)$ for general $q$ a power of a prime $p$. Only four potential maximal subgroups are missing: $PSL_2(7)$ (unknown for $p\neq 2,3,7$), $PSL_2(8)$ ($p=2$) and $PSL_2(9)=A_6$ ($p\neq…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $n_p(G)$ the number of Sylow $p$-subgroups of $G$. In this paper, we prove if $n_p(G)<p^2$ then almost all numbers $n_p(G)$ are a power of a prime.

Let $D$ be a non-commutative division ring, $G$ a subnormal subgroup of ${\mathrm GL}_n(D)$. In this note we show that if $G$ contains a non-abelian solvable maximal subgroup, then $n=1$ and $D$ is a cyclic algebra of prime degree over $F$.
