Here we present a working framework to establish finite abelian groups in python. The primary aim is to allow new A-level students to work with examples of finite abelian groups using open source software. We include the code used in the…

Using an idea going back to Scholz, we construct unramified abelian extensions of cyclotomic extensions of number fields.

We introduce a category of dual pairs of finite locally free algebras over a ring. This gives an efficient way to represent finite locally free commutative group schemes. We give a number of algorithms to compute with dual pairs of…

In this paper we produce unconditionally new instances of Galois number field extensions exhibiting strong discrepancies in the distribution of Frobenius elements among conjugacy classes of the Galois group. We first prove an inverse Galois…

Recently, two new constructions of $(v,k,k-1)$ disjoint difference families in Galois rings were presented by Davis, Huczynska, and Mullen and Momihara. Both were motivated by a well-known construction of difference families from cyclotomy…

In this expository article intended to be accessible to undergraduate students we introduce a finite abelian group that can be associated to any finite connected graph. This group can be defined in an elementary combinatorial way in terms…

We give a construction of algebraic differential characters, receiving classes of algebraic bundles with connection, lifitng the Chern-Simons invariants defined with S. Bloch, the classes in the Chow group and the analytic secondary…

We study finite groups arising from configurations of pairwise skew lines in $\mathbb{P}^3_K$. To such a configuration ${L}$ one associates a group $G_{L}\subset \mathrm{PGL}_2(K)$ acting on each line, and we investigate which finite…

We construct a new family of homomorphisms from Specht modules into Foulkes modules for the symmetric group. These homomorphisms are used to give a combinatorial description of the minimal partitions (in the dominance order) which label…

The main goal of this paper is to apply the arithmetic method developed in our previous paper \cite{13} to determine the number of some types of subgroups of finite abelian groups.

A first order expansion of $(\mathbb{R},+,<)$ is dp-minimal if and only if it is o-minimal. We prove analogous results for algebraic closures of finite fields, $p$-adic fields, ordered abelian groups with only finitely many convex subgroups…

A generalised Paley map is a Cayley map for the additive group of a finite field F, with a subgroup S=-S of the multiplicative group as generating set, cyclically ordered by powers of a generator of S. We characterise these as the…

We consider a large class of so-called dynamical Belyi maps and study the Galois groups of iterates of such maps. From the combinatorial invariants of the maps, we construct a useful presentation of their Galois groups as subgroups of…

We expound a concise construction of finite groups and groupoids whose Cayley graphs satisfy graded acyclicity requirements. Our acyclicity criteria concern cyclic patterns formed by coset-like configurations w.r.t. subsets of the generator…

We describe the set of characteristic polynomials of abelian varieties of dimension 3 over finite fields.

Let G be a finite group with Sylow p-subgroup P. We show that the character table of G determines whether P has maximal nilpotency class and whether P is a minimal non-abelian group. The latter result is obtained from a precise…

For an abelian number field of odd degree, we study the structure of its 2-Selmer group as a bilinear space and as a Galois module. We prove structural results and make predictions for the distribution of unit signature ranks and narrow…

We prove that finite groups have the same complex character tables iff the group algebras are twisted forms of each other as Drinfel'd quasi-bialgebras or iff there is non-associative bi-Galois algebra over these groups. The interpretations…

We produce new short laws in two variables valid in finite groups of Lie type. Our result improves upon results of Kozma and the second named author, and is sharp up to logarithmic factors, for all families except possibly the Suzuki…

In this paper we develop a theory of class invariants associated to $p$-adic representations of absolute Galois groups of number fields. Our main tool for doing this involves a new way of describing certain Selmer groups attached to…
