Recall that a $p$-group of order $p^ {n} >p^ {3} $ is of maximal class, if its nilpotency class is $n-1$. In this paper, we study the $p$-groups of maximal class. Furthermore, we introduce a subgroup of a $p$-group of maximal class called…

We consider groups of the nilpotency class $3$ of order $p^4$ which are the additive groups of local nearrings. It was shown that, for $p>3$, there exist a local nearring on one of such 4 groups.

We characterize finite $p$-groups $G$ of order up to $p^7$ for which the group of central automorphisms fixing the center element-wise is of minimum possibe order.

The `upper rank' of a group is the supremum of the (Pr\"{u}fer) ranks of its finite quotients, and for a prime $p$, the `upper $p$-rank' is the supremum of the sectional $p$-ranks of those quotients. The former is finite if and only if the…

We use heuristic algorithms to find terraces for small groups. We show that Bailey's Conjecture (that all groups other than the non-cyclic elementary abelian 2-groups are terraced) holds up to order 511, except possibly at orders 256 and…

We give a sharp lower bound on the size of nonabelian quotients of the surface braid group $B_n(\Sigma_g)$ and classify all quotients that attain the lower bound: Depending on $n$ and $g$, a quotient of minimum order is either a symmetric…

In this paper we measure how efficiently a finite simple group $G$ is generated by its elements of order $p$, where $p$ is a fixed prime. This measure, known as the $p$-width of $G$, is the minimal $k\in \mathbb{N}$ such that any $g\in G$…

There are several results in the literature concerning $p$-groups $G$ with a maximal elementary abelian normal subgroup of rank $k$ due to Thompson, Mann and others. Following an idea of Sambale we obtain bounds for the number of generators…

Recently, we have found a non-finitely based involution semigroup of order five. It is natural to question what is the smallest order of non-finitely based involution semigroups. It is known that every involution semigroup of order up to…

Let R be a unitary ring of finite cardinality P^k, where p is a prime number and $p\nmid k$. We show that if the group of units of $R$ has at most one subgroup of order $p$, then $R\cong A\bigoplus B,$ where $B$ is a finite ring of order…

We parametrize the set of irreducible characters of the Sylow $p$-subgroups of the Chevalley groups $\mathrm{D}_6(q)$ and $\mathrm{E}_6(q)$, for an arbitrary power $q$ of any prime $p$. In particular, we establish that the parametrization…

We find an upper bound for the number of groups of order $n$ up to isomorphism in the variety $G = A_pA_qA_r$, where $p$, $q$ and $r$ are distinct primes. We also find a bound on the orders and on the number of conjugacy classes of…

Consider the Bianchi groups, namely the SL_2 groups over rings of imaginary quadratic integers. In the literature, there has been so far no example of p-torsion in the integral homology of the full Bianchi groups, for p a prime greater than…

In this short note we give a formula for the number of chains of subgroups of a finite elementary abelian $p$-group. This completes our previous work [5].

This note discusses our formalisation in Lean of the classification of the groups of order $p q$ for (not necessarily distinct) prime numbers $p$ and $q$, together with various intermediate results such as the characterisation of internal…

In this paper, we shall prove Beauville's conjecture: if $f:S \to P^1$ is a non-trivial semistable fibration of genus g>1, then $f$ admits at least 5 singular fibers. We have also constructed an example of genus 2 with 5 singular fibers.…

In this paper, we describe the automorphism group of semidirect product of two groups that fixes the non-normal subgroup of it. We have computed these automorphisms for the non-abelian metacyclic $p$-group and non-abelian $p$-groups $(p\ge…

This paper presents a classification of all p-groups of order p^5 up to isomorphism. It contains a full list of their polycyclic presentations, a short introduction to the basic ideas of the methodes used to classify the groups, and a…

For each prime $p$, we show that there exist geometrically simple abelian varieties $A/\mathbb Q$ with non-trivial $p$-torsion in their Tate-Shafarevich groups. Specifically, for any prime $N\equiv 1 \pmod{p}$, let $A_f$ be an optimal…

Let $o(G)$ be the average order of a finite group $G$. We show that if $o(G)<c$, where $c\in \lbrace \frac{13}{6}, \frac{11}{4}\rbrace$, then $G$ is an elementary abelian 2-group or a solvable group, respectively. Also, we prove that the…
