We find a sharp bound for the order of the automorphism group of a stable curve of genus $g$ with $3g-3$ nodes, and a sharp bound for the order of the automorphism group of such a curve with all smooth components. Combined with the results…

This note gives an elementary proof that the symmetric groups possess only one exceptional symmetry. I am referring to the fact that the outer automorphism group of the symmetric group $S_n$ is trivial unless $n=6$ and the outer…

Given an automorphism $x$ of order bigger than $2$ of a sporadic simple group $S$, we show that there are at most $3$ conjugates of $x$ required to generate a subgroup of order divisible by a fixed prime divisor $r$ of $|S|$. The only…

Let $FG$ be the group algebra of a finite $p$-group $G$ over a finite field $F$ of positive characteristic $p$. Let $\cd$ be an involution of the algebra $FG$ which is a linear extension of an anti-automorphism of the group $G$ to $FG$. If…

The results of computer computations determining the automorphism groups of the groups of order 32$p$ for $p \geq 3$ are given in several tables. Presentations for the automorphism groups of the groups of order 32, which in many cases…

Let $G$ be a group and $g$ a non-trivial element in $G$. If some non-empty finite product of conjugates of $g$ equals to the identity, then $g$ is called a generalized torsion element. The minimum number of conjugates in such a product is…

We describe the ring of invariants for the finite orthogonal groups in odd dimension and even characteristic acting on the defining representation. We construct a minimal algebra generating set and describe the relations among the…

We classify finite groups with a small average number of zeros in the character table.

A number of properties of spherical Artin groups extend to Garside groups, defined as the groups of fractions of monoids where least common multiples exist, there is no nontrivial unit, and some additional finiteness conditions are…

Extending the notion of sunflowers, we call a family of at least two sets an odd-sunflower if every element of the underlying set is contained in an odd number of sets or in none of them. It follows from the Erd\H os--Szemer\'edi…

In 2017, Qiao and Koolen showed that for any fixed integer $D\geq 3$, there are only finitely many such graphs with $\theta_{\min}\leq -\alpha k$, where $0<\alpha<1$ is any fixed number. In this paper, we will study non-bipartite…

We prove that any odd-dimensional modular category of rank at most 23 is pointed. We also show that an odd-dimensional modular category of rank 25 is either pointed, perfect, or equivalent to $\operatorname{Rep}(D^\omega(\mathbb Z_7\rtimes…

We show that the automorphism group of the disk complex is isomorphic to the handlebody group. Using this, we prove that the outer automorphism group of the handlebody group is trivial.

Generalising a previous result, we determine all non-abelian finite simple groups whose order has largest prime divisor not exceeding $10^4$. The computer code for this and similar calculations is made available.

In this article, we prove that every finite abelian group $G$ of odd order occurs as a subgroup of the class group of infinitely many real cyclotomic fields.

In this paper we give a partial answer to a 1980 question of Lazslo Babai: "Which [finite] groups admit an oriented graph as a DRR?" That is, which finite groups admit an oriented regular representation (ORR)? We show that every finite…

Finite groups that are embeddable in the multiplicative groups of division rings $K$ were completely determined by S. A. Amitsur in 1955. In case $K$ has characteristic $p>0$, the only possible finite subgroups of $K^*$ are cyclic groups,…

We show that the 20 graph Heawood family, obtained by a combination of triangle-Y and Y-triangle moves on $K_7$, is precisely the set of graphs of at most 21 edges that are minor minimal for the property not $2$--apex. As a corollary, this…

We study class preserving automorphisms of groups of order thirty two and prove that only two groups have non-inner class preserving automorphisms.

This chapter provides a comprehensive survey of foundational results and recent advances concerning minimal generating sets for the mapping class group of a nonorientable surface, $\mathrm{Mod}(N_{g})$, and its index-two twist subgroup,…
