We count by height the number of elliptic curves over the rationals, both up to isomorphism over the rationals and over an algebraic closure thereof, that admit a cyclic isogeny of degree $7$.

In this short paper we prove that the following two 1-dimensional families of Artin-Schreier curves are supersingular: y^7 - y = x^5 + c.x^2 over F_7 y^5 - y = x^7 + c.x over F_5 (for some parameter c). Our method is developed upon the…

The exceptional holonomy groups are G2 in 7 dimensions, and Spin(7) in 8 dimensions. Riemannian manifolds with these holonomy groups are Ricci-flat. This is a survey paper on exceptional holonomy, in two parts. Part I introduces the…

We show that if $G$ is any $p$-group of class at most two and exponent $p$, then there exist groups $G_1$ and $G_2$ of class two and exponent $p$ that contain $G$, neither of which can be expressed as a central product, and with $G_1$…

We study the maximal subgroups (also known as group $\mathcal{H}$-classes) of finitely presented special inverse monoids. We show that the maximal subgroups which can arise in such monoids are exactly the recursively presented groups, and…

We show that for all integers $m\geq 2$, and all integers $k\geq 2$, the orthogonal groups $\Orth^{\pm}(2m,\Fk)$ act on abstract regular polytopes of rank $2m$, and the symplectic groups $\Sp(2m,\Fk)$ act on abstract regular polytopes of…

The following multi-determinantal algebraic variety plays a central role in algebra, algebraic geometry and computational complexity theory: ${\rm SING}_{n,m}$, consisting of all $m$-tuples of $n\times n$ complex matrices which span only…

Maximal connected grading classes of a finite-dimensional algebra $A$ are in one-to-one correspondence with Galois covering classes of $A$ which admit no proper Galois covering and therefore are key in computing the intrinsic fundamental…

We introduce the notion of extended admissible dissections of a marked surface, building upon the notion of an admissible dissection of a marked surface by Amiot--Plamondon--Schroll. For each extended admissible dissection we construct a…

Infinitely many large Schur sigma-groups G with non-elementary bicyclic commutator quotient G/G' = C(3^e) x C(3), e >= 2, are constructed as periodic sequences of vertices in descendant trees of finite 3-groups. A single root gives rise to…

An alternating sign matrix is a square matrix satisfying (i) all entries are equal to 1, -1 or 0; (ii) every row and column has sum 1; (iii) in every row and column the non-zero entries alternate in sign. The 8-element group of symmetries…

We prove the existence of curves of genus $7$ and $12$ over the field with $11^5$ elements, reaching the Hasse-Weil-Serre upper bound. These curves are quotients of modular curves and we give explicit equations. We compute the number of…

The genus spectrum of a finite group $G$ is a set of integers $g \geq 2$ such that $G$ acts on a closed orientable compact surface $\Sigma_g$ of genus $g$ preserving the orientation. In this paper we complete the study of spectrum sets of…

Some time ago, Sezgin, Bars and Nishino have proposed super Yang-Mills theories (SYM's) in $D=11+3$ and beyond. Using the "Magic Star" projection of $\mathfrak{e}_{8(-24)}$, we show that the geometric structure of SYM's in $11+3$ and $12+4$…

This paper provides an algorithmic generalization of Dickson's method of classifying permutation polynomials (PPs) of a given degree $d$ over finite fields. Dickson's idea is to formulate from Hermite's criterion several polynomial…

In this article, the clarification to Note 4 (arXiv:1202.0941) for n=8 is considered. In this connection, answers to the following questions are given. 1. How to classify the metric hypercomplex orthogonal group alternative-elastic algebras…

In this paper, we study the $p$-Selmer groups in the family of $p$-twists of an elliptic curve $E$ over a number field $K$. We prove that if $E/K$ is an elliptic curve over a number field $K$, and if $d$ is congruent to the dimension of the…

We study possible values of the global dimension of endomorphism algebras of 2-term silting complexes. We show that for any algebra $A$ whose global dimension $\mathop{\rm gl. dim}\nolimits A\leq 2$ and any 2-term silting complex…

In this paper we extend the construction of Giudici, Morgan and Zhou [arXiv:2110.07896] to give the first known examples of nonregular, $2$-closed permutation groups of rank greater than $4$ that are not the automorphism group of any…

We show how the exceptional isogenies of classical groups to orthogonal groups of quadratic spaces of dimensions up to 8 over fields of characteristic different from 2 may be obtained by explicit algebraic constructions using the…
