Let $G$ denote the projective special linear group $\text{PSL}(2,q)$, for a prime power $q$. It is shown that a finite 2-subgroup of the group $V(\mathbb{Z}G)$ of augmentation 1 units in the integral group ring $\mathbb{Z}G$ of $G$ is…

Let $G$ be the simple group ${\rm PSL}(3,2^p)$, where $p$ is a prime number. For any subgroup $H$ of $G$, we compute the M\"obius function of $H$ in the subgroup lattice of $G$. To this aim, we describe the intersections of maximal…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $N\unlhd G$ with $|G: N|=p$ for some prime $p$. In this note, to compute $m_{G,N}$ directly, we construct a class poset $\mathfrak{T}_{C}(G)$ of $G$ for some cyclic subgroup $C$. And we find a relation between…

We establish a general identity between the Mahler measures $m(Q_k(x,y))$ and $m(P_k(x,y))$ of two polynomial families, where $Q_k(x,y)=0$ and $P_k(x,y)=0$ are generically hyperelliptic and elliptic curves, respectively.

Lie symmetries of K(m,n) equations with time-dependent coefficients are classified. Group classification is presented up to widest possible equivalence groups, the usual equivalence group of the whole class for the general case and…

Generating functions for the number of commuting m-tuples in the symmetric groups are obtained. We define a natural sequence of ``orbifold Euler characteristics'' for a finite group G acting on a manifold X. Our definition generalizes the…

Via counting over finite fields, we derive explicit formulas for the E-polynomials and Euler characteristics of GL(d)- and PGL(d)-character varieties of free groups. We prove a positivity property for these polynomials and relate them to…

Let $m$ be a positive integer such that $p$ does not divide $m$ where $p$ is prime. In this paper we find the number of conjugacy classes of completely reducible cyclic subgroups in GL$(2, q)$ of order $m$, where $q$ is a power of $p$.

The principal character of a representation of the free group of rank two into PSL(2, C) is a triple of complex numbers that determines an irreducible representation uniquely up to conjugacy. It is a central problem in the geometry of…

Let $\ell$ be a prime number, $k$ a positive integer and consider the group $\Gamma_{\ell^k} :=\langle a,b\ \vert\ a^{\ell^k(\ell^k-1)}ba^{-\ell^k}b^{-2}\rangle$. We prove that $\Gamma_{\ell^k}$ is not $\mathrm{SL}_2$-weakly integral with…

Regular maps on linear fractional groups $PSL(2,q)$ and $PGL(2,q$) have been studied for many years and the theory is well-developed, including generating sets for the asscoiated groups. This paper studies the properties of self-duality,…

A common fixed point property for semigroups is applied to show that the group algebra $L^1(G)$ of a locally compact group $G$ is $2m$-weakly amenable for each integer $m\geq 1$.

We discuss Euler characteristics for finitely generated modules over Iwasawa algebras. We show that the Euler characteristic of a module is well-defined whenever the 0th homology group is finite if and only if the relevant compact p-adic…

The aim of this paper is to classify the finite nonsolvable groups in which every irreducible character of even degree vanishes on at most two conjugacy classes. As a corollary, it is shown that $L_2(2^f)$ are the only nonsolvable groups in…

For $\mathrm{O}(\mathrm{q},k)$, the orthogonal group over a field $k$ of characteristic 2 with respect to a quadratic form $\mathrm{q}$, we discuss the isomorphism classes of fixed points of involutions. When the quadratic space is either…

All results concern characteristic 2. Two procedures that to every simple Lie algebra assign simple Lie superalgebras, most of the latter new, are offered. We prove that every simple finite-dimensional Lie superalgebra is obtained as the…

The prime graph of a finite group $G$ is denoted by $\ga(G)$. Also $G$ is called recognizable by prime graph if and only if each finite group $H$ with $\ga(H)=\ga(G)$, is isomorphic to $G$. In this paper, we classify all finite groups with…

This is the second one in a series of papers classifying the factorizations of almost simple groups with nonsolvable factors. In this paper we deal with almost simple unitary groups.

We define a family {$\gamma(P)$} of generalized Euler constants indexed by finite sets of primes $P$ and study their distribution. These arise from partial sums of reciprocals of integers not divisible by any prime in $P$. An apparent…
