Unimodal (i.e. single-humped) permutations may be decomposed into a product of disjoint cycles. Some enumerative results concerning their cyclic structure -- e.g. 2/3 of them contain fixed points -- are given. We also obtain in effect a…

A pure excedance in a permutation $\pi=\pi_1\pi_2\ldots \pi_n$ is a position $i<\pi_i$ such that there is no $j<i$ with $i\leq \pi_j<\pi_i$. We present a one-to-one correspondence on the symmetric group that transports pure excedances to…

Over a field of characteristic 0, every ring of invariants of a finite group is Cohen-Macaulay. This is not true for fields of positive characteristic. We consider permutation representations and their invariant rings over fields…

A permutation on an alphabet $ \Sigma $, is a sequence where every element in $ \Sigma $ occurs precisely once. Given a permutation $ \pi $= ($\pi_{1} $, $ \pi_{2} $, $ \pi_{3} $,....., $ \pi_{n} $) over the alphabet $ \Sigma $ =$\{ $0, 1,…

We show that all permutations in $S_n$ can be generated by affine unicritical polynomials. We use the $\operatorname{PGL}$ group structure to compute the cycle structure of permutations with low Carlitz rank. The tree structure of the group…

We introduce a notion of permutation presentations of modules over finite groups, and completely determine finite groups over which every module has a permutation presentation. To get this result, we prove that every coflasque module over a…

We classify the finite primitive groups containing a permutation with at most four cycles (including fixed points) in its disjoint cycle representation.

Let $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ be the finite field of characteristic $p$ containing $q = p^{r}$ elements and $f(x)=ax^{n} + x^{m}$ a binomial with coefficients in this field. If some conditions on the gcd of $n-m$ an $q-1$ are satisfied then this…

We consider the cycle structure of a random permutation $\sigma$ chosen uniformly from the symmetric group, subject to the constraint that $\sigma$ does not contain cycles of length exceeding $r.$ We prove that under suitable conditions the…

Let $\pi$ be a cycle permutation that can be expressed as one-line $\pi = \pi_1\pi_2 \cdot\cdot\cdot \pi_n$ and a cycle form $\pi = (c_1,c_2, ..., c_n)$. Archer et al. introduced the notion of pattern avoidance of one-line and all cycle…

In this paper we prove a finiteness result concerning the Chow group of zero-cycles for varieties over $p$-adic local fields. In this final version, there are several corrections concerning mathematical symbols and reference to related…

We prove that if x^m + c*x^n permutes the prime field GF(p), where m>n>0 and c is in GF(p)^*, then gcd(m-n,p-1) > sqrt{p} - 1. Conversely, we prove that if q>=4 and m>n>0 are fixed and satisfy gcd(m-n,q-1) > 2q*(log log q)/(log q), then…

On a cyclic group of prime order, the non-trivial Dirichlet characters together with their Fourier transforms have constant modulus outside 0 and vanish at 0. Answering a question of H. Cohn, we construct new functions with these…

In this paper we study different restrictions imposed over the set of permutations of size $n$, $S_n$, and for specific classes of restrictions study the cycle structure of corresponding permutations. More specifically, we prove that for…

We prove that the automorphism groups of simple polarized abelian varieties of odd prime dimension over finite fields are cyclic, and give a complete list of finite groups that can be realized as such automorphism groups.

The multiplicative group of a finite field is well known to be cyclic; in this note, we determine the finite fields whose multiplicative groups are direct sum indecomposable. We obtain our classification using a direct argument and also as…

In this paper, we present three classes of complete permutation monomials over finite fields of odd characteristic. Meanwhile, the compositional inverses of these complete permutation polynomials are also proposed.

We show that if a permutation $\pi$ contains two intervals of length 2, where one interval is an ascent and the other a descent, then the M\"{o}bius function $\mu[\pi]$ of the interval $[1,\pi]$ is zero. As a consequence, we show that the…

A cyclic complementary extension of a finite group $A$ is a finite group $G$ which contains $A$ and a cyclic subgroup $C$ such that $A\cap C=\{1_G\}$ and $G=AC$. For any fixed generator $c$ of the cyclic factor $C=\langle c\rangle$ of order…

Given a cyclic group $G$ of order $p^r$, where $p$ is a prime and $r\in\mathbb{N}$. It is well-known that the order of its greatest proper subgroup $\psi(G)$ and the number of its generators $\phi(G)$ satisfy $\psi(G)+\phi(G)=p^r$. In this…
