Let $\cal{A}$ be the algebra of quaternions $\mathbb{H}$ or octonions $\mathbb{O}$. In this manuscript a new proof is given, based on ideas of Cauchy and D' Alembert, of the fact that an ordinary polynomial $f(t) \in {\cal{A}}\, [t]$ has a…

This paper studies when a pair of elements in F are the images of the standard generators of F under a self monomorphism.

Suppose that $x$, $y$ are elements of a finite group $G$ lying in conjugacy classes of coprime sizes. We prove that $\langle x^G \rangle \cap \langle y^G \rangle$ is an abelian normal subgroup of $G$ and, as a consequence, that if $x$ and…

Given an integer $k\ge3$ and a group $G$ of odd order, if there exists a $2$-$(v,k,1)$-design and if $v$ is sufficiently large, then there is such a design whose automorphism group has a subgroup isomorphic to $G$. A weaker result is proved…

Let K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. We say that a polynomial automorphism f : K^n -> K^n is special if the Jacobian of f is equal to 1. We show that every (n - 1)-dimensional component H of the set Fix(f) of fixed…

An element $\alpha \in \mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ is a normal element over $\mathbb{F}_q$ if the conjugates $\alpha^{q^i}$, $0 \leq i \leq n-1$, are linearly independent over $\mathbb{F}_q$. Hence a normal basis for $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ over…

Let alpha be an automorphism of a hyperelliptic curve C of genus g, and let alpha' be the automorphism of P^1 induced by alpha. Let n be the order of alpha and let n' be the order of alpha'. We show that the triple (g,n,n') completely…

Let F be a finite field with q elements, let A be a finite dimensional F-algebra and let J=J(A) be the Jacobson radical of A. Then G=1+J is a p-group, where p is the characteristic of F. We refer to G as an F-algebra group. A subgroup H of…

As defined by Guralnick and Saxl, given a nonabelian simple group $S$ and its nonidentity automorphism $x$, a natural number $\alpha_S(x)$ is the minimum number of conjugates of $x$ in $\langle x,S\rangle$ that generate a subgroup…

In this paper we construct a generating polynomial over the rationals for the generic Newton polygon for the L function of exponential sums of the family of f = x^d+ a x^s parameterized by a, and prove some of its key properties. The…

Let $H$ be a subgroup of a group $G$. A normal subgroup $N_H$ of $H$ is said to be inheritably normal if there is a normal subgroup $N_G$ of $G$ such that $N_H=N_G\cap H$. It is proved in the paper that a subgroup $N_{G_i}$ of a factor…

Let $G$ be a group. We denote by $\nu(G)$ a certain extension of the non-abelian tensor square $G \otimes G$ by $G \times G$. In this paper we prove that the derived subgroup $\nu(G)'$ is a central product of three normal subgroups of…

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…
