Let $G$ be a finite group, let $x \in G$, and let $p$ be a prime. We prove that the commutator $[x,g]$ is a $p$-element for every $g \in G$ if and only if $x$ is central modulo $\mathbf{O}_p(G)$, where $\mathbf{O}_p(G)$ denotes the largest…

We construct all integral non-group-theoretical modular categories of dimension $p^2q^2$, where $p$ and $q$ are distinct prime numbers, establishing that a necessary and sufficient condition for their existence is that $p \mid q+1$, and…

In this paper we study embeddings of unitriangular groups UT$_n(\mathbb{F}_p)$ arising under adjunction of roots. We construct embeddings of UT$_n(\mathbb{F}_p)$ in UT$_m(\mathbb{F}_p)$, for $n \geq 2$, $m=(n-1)p^s + 1$, $s \in…

We know that $\mathbb{Z}_n$ is a finite field for a prime number $n$. Let $m,n$ be arbitrary natural numbers and let $\mathbb{Z}^m_n= \mathbb{Z}_n \times\mathbb{Z}_n\times...\times\mathbb{Z}_n$ be the Cartesian product of $m$ rings…

Let $\mathbb{C}$ be the field of complex numbers. Let $k$ be natural number with $k \geq 2$ and let $p$ be a rational prime. In this paper we count the number of conjugacy classes of admissible cyclic subgroups of…

A perfect isometry is an important relation between blocks of finite groups as many information about blocks are preserved by it. If we consider the group of all perfect isometries between a block to itself then this gives another…

In this paper we explore the structure and properties of C-groups. We define a C-group as a group $G$ with $rk(G) < rk(Z(G))$ (where $rk(G)$ is the minimal cardinal of a generating set for a group $G$). Using GAP (a group theory program)…

In this paper we study $\prod\limits_{i=1}^{n} \mathbb{Z}_{2^i}$-Additive Cyclic Codes. These codes are identified as $\mathbb{Z}_{2^n}[x]$-submodules of $\prod\limits_{i=1}^{n}\mathbb{Z}_{2^i}[x]/ \langle x^{\alpha_i}-1\rangle$; $\alpha_i$…

Let $G$ be a group and let $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of subgroups of $G$ closed under conjugation. For a positive integer $n$, let $C_n$ denote a cyclic group of order $n$. We show that if there exists an integer $n$ such that every group…

This is an introduction to the group algebras of the symmetric groups, written for a quarter-long graduate course. After recalling the definition of group algebras (and monoid algebras) in general, as well as basic properties of…

It is well known that there exist non-isomorphic compact groups with isomorphic representation rings (fusion rules). Nevertheless, considerable structural information about the group can be reconstructed from its representation ring. We…

We prove that for each multiplicative subgroup $A$ of finite index in $\mathbb{Q}^+$, the set of integers $a$ with $a, a+1 \in A$ is an IP-set. This generalizes a theorem of Hildebrand concerning completely multiplicative functions taking…

For any finite cyclic $p$-group $G$, we will show that every $\mathbb{Z}_p$-torsion free finitely generated $\mathbb{Z}_p[G]$-module appears as $\mathcal{O}_K^\times\otimes_{\mathbb{Z}}\mathbb{Z}_p$ up to $\mathbb{Z}_p[G]$-free direct…

In this note, we compute the order and provide the structure of the unit group $\mathcal{U}(FD_{2p^m})$ of the group algebra $FD_{2p^m}$, where $F$ is a finite field of characteristic 2 and $D_{2p^m}$ is the dihedral group of order $2p^m$…

We will introduce a family $\Gamma_\beta, 1 < \beta \in {\mathbb{R}}$ of infinite non-amenable discrete groups as an interpolation of the Higman-Thompson groups $V_n, 1 < n \in {\mathbb{N}}$ by using the topological full groups of the…

Let $R$ be a ring with identity, $\mathcal{U}(R)$ the group of units of $R$ and $k$ a positive integer. We say that $a\in \mathcal{U}(R)$ is $k$-unit if $a^k=1$. Particularly, if the ring $R$ is $\mathbb{Z}_n$, for a positive integer $n$,…

In this paper, first we obtain an explicit formula for an outer commutator multiplier of nilpotent products of cyclic groups with respect to the variety $[\mathfrak{N}_{c_1},\mathfrak{N}_{c_2}]$, $\mathfrak{N}_{c}M(\mathbb{Z}\st{n}*…

We study order units in the real group ring and the augmentation ideal, as well as in matrix algebras. We identify an infinite family of order units in the powers of the augmentation ideal, that includes the Laplacian, and show that these…

We show that for every finite set of prime numbers S, there are at most finitely many singular moduli that are S-units. The key new ingredient is that for every prime number p, singular moduli are p-adically disperse. We prove analogous…

In this short note we confirm a conjecture of James Wiegold. We prove that if $G$ is a finite $p$-group and $|G'|>p^{n(n-1)/2}$ for some non-negative integer $n$, then the group $G$ can be generated by the elements of breadth at least $n$.…
