We investigate the classification of topological quandles on some simple manifolds. Precisely we classify all Alexander quandle structures, up to isomorphism, on the real line and the unit circle. For the closed unit interval $[0, 1]$, we…

We consider the determination of the number $c_k(\alpha)$ of ordered factorisations of an arbitrary permutation on n symbols, with cycle distribution $\alpha$, into k-cycles such that the factorisations have minimal length and such that the…

We show that if G is a nontrivial, finite group of odd order, whose commutator subgroup [G,G] is cyclic of order p^m q^n, where p and q are prime, then every connected Cayley graph on G has a hamiltonian cycle.

We study the (variable-length) codes of the form X u {a^n}, where X c a*wa* and |X| = n. We extend various notions and results from factorizations of cyclic groups theory to this type of codes. In particular, when n is the product of at…

We give a first example of 2-knots with the same knot group but different knot quandles by analyzing the knot quandles of twist spins. As a byproduct of the analysis, we also give a classification of all twist spins with finite knot…

We establish two consequences of the Kawamata--Morrison--Totaro cone conjecture, and prove them unconditionally in all dimensions. First, for a K-trivial variety, the natural action of its automorphism group on the set of ample divisor…

We prove a conjecture that classifies exceptional numbers. This conjecture arises in two different ways, from cryptography and from coding theory. An odd integer $t\geq 3$ is said to be exceptional if $f(x)=x^t$ is APN (Almost Perfect…

In this article we answer a question raised by N. Feldman in \cite{Feldman} concerning the dynamics of tuples of operators on $\mathbb{R}^n$. In particular, we prove that for every positive integer $n\geq 2$ there exist $n$ tuples $(A_1,…

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…

The canonical double cover $B(X)$ of a graph $X$ is the direct product of $X$ and $K_2$. If $Aut(B(X)) \cong Aut(X) \times \mathbb{Z}_2$ then $X$ is called stable; otherwise $X$ is called unstable. An unstable graph is nontrivially unstable…

We prove a few simple cases of a random graph statement that would imply the "second" Kahn--Kalai Conjecture. Even these cases turn out to be reasonably challenging, and it is hoped that the ideas introduced here may lead to further…

Simple necessary and sufficient conditions for a $n$-tuple of noncommutative polynomials to be a cyclic gradient are given and similarly for a noncommutative polynomial to have a vanishing cyclic gradient. Connections with free probability…

Let $\mathcal{P}$ be a chiral polytope with type $\{k_1, k_2\}$ and $G=Aut(\mathcal{P})$. Suppose $|G|=2p^m$, where $k_1, k_2\geq 3$ and $p$ is an odd prime. Let $P$ be a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G$. We prove that $G \cong P \rtimes…

We give a complete description of the associated group of any quandle as a central extension of the inner-automorphism group. As an application, we compute the second quandle homology groups of quandles of some families, including those of…

We give a construction of quandle cocycles from group cocycles, especially, for any integer p \geq 3, quandle cocycles of the dihedral quandle R_p from group cocycles of the cyclic group Z/p. We will show that a group 3-cocycle of Z/p gives…

A family of groups is called (maximal) cyclic bounded ((M)CB) if, for every natural number $n$, there are only finitely many groups in the family with at most $n$ (maximal) cyclic subgroups. We prove that the family of groups of prime power…

It was conjectured that the augmentation ideal of a dihedral quandle of even order $n>2$ satisfies $|\Delta^k(\text{R}_n)/\Delta^{k+1}(\text{R}_{n})|=n$ for all $k\geq 2$. In this article we provide a counterexample against this conjecture.

We prove that if G is an abelian group of odd order then there is an isomorphism from the second quandle homology of the Takasaki quandle of G to the exterior square of G. In particular, for G=Z_k^n, k odd, we obtain Z_k^{n(n-1)/2}.…

We investigate the structure of finite groups whose non-central real class sizes have the same $2$-part. In particular, we prove that such groups are solvable and have $2$-length one. As a consequence, we show that a finite group is…

Some PARI programs have bringed out a property for the non-genus part of the class number of the imaginary quadratic fields, with respect to $(\sqrt D\,)^{\varepsilon}$, where $D$ is the absolute value of the discriminant and $\varepsilon…
