Let $\chi$ be an irreducible character of a group $G.$ We denote the sum of the codegrees of the irreducible characters of $G$ by $S_c(G)=\sum_{\chi\in {\rm Irr}(G)}{\rm cod}(\chi).$ We consider the question if $S_c(G)\leq S_c(C_n)$ is true…

Let $T$ be a finite simple group of Lie type in characteristic $p$, and let $S$ be a Sylow subgroup of $T$ with maximal order. It is well known that $S$ is a Sylow $p$-subgroup except in an explicit list of exceptions, and that $S$ is…

Let $G$ be a finite abeilian group. A sequence $S$ with terms from $G$ is zero-sum if the sum of terms in $S$ equals zero. It is a minimal zero-sum sequence if no proper, nontrivial subsequence is zero-sum. The maximal length of a minimal…

Let $G\cong C_{n_1}\oplus ... \oplus C_{n_r}$ be a finite and nontrivial abelian group with $n_1|n_2|...|n_r$. A conjecture of Hamidoune says that if $W=w_1... w_n$ is a sequence of integers, all but at most one relatively prime to $|G|$,…

Let $MIS(G)$ be the set of all maximal independent sets in a graph $G$, and let $mis(G)=|MIS(G)|$. In this paper, we show that for any tree $T$ with $n$ vertices and independence number $\alpha$, \[mis(T)\geq f(n-\alpha),\] and for any…

An L- sequence of a graph $G $ is a sequence of distinct vertices $S = \{v_1, ... , v_k\}$ such that $N[v_i] \setminus \cup_{j=1}^{i-1} N(v_j) \neq \emptyset$. The length of the longest L-sequence is called the L-Grundy domination number,…

It is shown that $A:=H_{1,\eta}(G)$, the Sympectic Reflection Algebra, has $T_G$ independent traces, where $T_G$ is the number of conjugacy classes of elements without eigenvalue 1 belonging to the finite group $G$ generated by the system…

Let $G$ be a finite $p$-group and $\delta(G)$ denote the number of all non-cyclic subgroups of $G$. In this paper, an upper bound for $\delta(G)$ is obtained. Furthermore, we prove that $\delta(G)\leq \delta(M_p(1, 1, 1) \times…

Marius T\u{a}rn\u{a}uceanu described the finite groups $G$ having $|G|-1$ cyclic subgroups. We describe the finite groups $G$ having $|G|-\Delta$ cyclic subgroups for $\Delta=2, 3, 4$ and $5$.

We say that a first order sentence A defines a graph G if A is true on G but false on any graph non-isomorphic to G. Let L(G) (resp. D(G)) denote the minimum length (resp. quantifier rank) of a such sentence. We define the succinctness…

The circumference denoted by $c(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the length of its longest cycle. Let $\delta(G)$ and $\omega(G)$ denote the minimum degree and the clique number of a graph $G$, respectively. In [\emph{Electron. J. Combin.} 31(4)(2024)…

We study the cyclotomic exponent sequence of a numerical semigroup $S,$ and we compute its values at the gaps of $S,$ the elements of $S$ with unique representations in terms of minimal generators, and the Betti elements $b\in S$ for which…

Let R be a Noetherian ring, I an ideal of R and M a ZD-module. Let S be a Melkersson subcategory with respect to I such that M/IM doesn't belong to S. We show that all maximal S-sequences on M in I, have equal length. If this common length…

Let $G$ be a finite group, $L_1(G)$ be its poset of cyclic subgroups and consider the quantity $\alpha(G)=\frac{|L_1(G)|}{|G|}$. The aim of this paper is to study the class $\cal{C}$ of finite nilpotent groups having…

Let $S_1, \cdots, S_N$ simple finite-dimensional modules of a quantum affine algebra. We prove that if $S_i\otimes S_j$ is cyclic for any $i < j$ (i.e. generated by the tensor product of the highest weight vectors), then $S_1\otimes \cdots…
