The study examines the relationship between Ball's magic numbers and reverses divisors. These numbers are the source of beautiful and curious properties. Activities related to numbers can be a fun way to motivate mathematics students, while…

We show how Coxeter's work implies a bijection between complex reflection groups of rank two and real reflection groups in $O(3)$. We also consider this magic square of reflections and rotations in the framework of Clifford algebras: we…

A dimension group is a partially ordered countable group such that (1) every finite subset is contained in an ordered subgroup which is a finite direct power of Z and (2) the group has an order unit i.e. a positive element u such that every…

Let $p$ be an odd prime. In the paper we collect the author's various conjectures on congruences modulo $p$ or $p^2$, which are concerned with sums of binomial coefficients, Lucas sequences, power residues and special binary quadratic…

A bijective proof is given for the following theorem: the number of compositions of n into odd parts equals the number of compositions of n + 1 into parts greater than one. Some commentary about the history of partitions and compositions is…

In this paper, we will study modular Abelian varieties with odd congruence numbers by examining the cuspidal subgroup of $J_0(N)$. We will show that the conductor of such Abelian varieties must be of a special type. For example, if $N$ is…

In 2007, Andrews studied the odd Durfee symbols and their odd ranks. Let $N^0(m,k,n)$ denote the number of odd Durfee symbols of $n$ with odd rank congruent to $m$ modulo $k$. Motivated by Andrews' work, many authors obtained generating…

For every odd integer $n \geq 3$, we prove that there exist infinitely many number fields of degree $n$ and associated Galois group $S_n$ whose class number is odd. To do so, we study the class groups of families of number fields of degree…

In the first paper we proved that on the cyclic groups of odd order d, there exist non zero functions whose convolution square f*f(2t) is proportional to their square f(t)^2 when the proportionality constant is an odd algebraic integer of…

Let $$\sum_{\substack{d|n\\ d\equiv 1 (2)}}\frac{1}{d}$$ denote the sum of inverses of odd divisors of a positive integer $n$, and let $c_{r}(n)$ be the number of representations of $n$ as a sum of $r$ squares where representations with…

For any odd integer $n\geq3$ a board (of size $n$) is a square array of $n\times n$ positions with a simple rule of how to move between positions. The goal of the game we introduce is to find a path from the upper left corner of a board to…

The theorem presented in this paper allows the creation of large prime numbers (of order up to o(n^2)) given a table of all primes up to n.

We present a new proof of a theorem of Schur's determining the least common multiple of the orders of all finite groups of complex $n \times n$-matrices whose elements have traces in the field of rational numbers. The basic method of proof…

We give a detailed analysis of the proportion of elements in the symmetric group on $n$ points whose order divides $m$, for $n$ sufficiently large and $m \ge n$ with $m = O(n)$.

This article determines the structure of the group ring $\mathbb{Z}_nG$, where $G$ is a finite group and $\mathbb{Z}_n$ is the ring of integers modulo $n$, such that $n$ is relatively prime to the order of $G$. The decomposition of…

The mathematical aspects of the popular logic game Sudoku incorporate a significant number of the group theory concepts. In this note, we describe all symmetric transformations of the Sudoku grid. We do not intend to obtain a new strategy…

We investigate the order of the Tate--Shafarevich group of abelian varieties modulo rational squares. Our main result shows that every square-free natural number appears as the non square-free part of the Tate--Shafarevich group of some…

The multiplicative structure of an odd perfect number $n$, if any, is $n=\pi^\alpha M^2$, where $\pi$ is prime, $\gcd(\pi,M)=1$ and $\pi\equiv \alpha\equiv1\pmod{4}$. An additive structure of $n$, established by Touchard, is that…

We proved recently (see \cite{lhgarasu}) the result on the title for odd prime divisors of such an $n.$ The result implies for many $n's$, more precisely, for an infinity of $n$'s with an arbitrary fixed number of prime divisors, the…

Common meadows are commutative and associative algebraic structures with two operations (addition and multiplication) with additive and multiplicative identities and for which inverses are total. The inverse of zero is an error term…
