In 1918, Noether published a paper where she studied such a problem, now called Noether's problem on rationality: Let $L=K\left( t_{1},t_{2},\cdots ,t_{n}\right) $ be a purely transcendental extension over a field $K$ and $G$ a finite…

We give a complete and irredundant list of the finite groups $G$ for which Aut$(G)$, acting naturally on $G$, has precisely $3$ orbits. There are 7 infinite families: one abelian, one non-nilpotent, three families of non-abelian $2$-groups…

We introduce a directed graph related to a group $G$, which we call the N-prime graph $\Gamma_{\rm{N}}(G)$ of $G$ and which is a refinement of the classical Gruenberg-Kegel graph. The vertices of $\Gamma_{\rm{N}}(G)$ are the primes $p$ such…

Let $A$ be a rational function of degree $n\geq 2$. Let us denote by $ G(A)$ the group of M\"obius transformations $\sigma$ such that $ A\circ \sigma=\nu_{\sigma} \circ A$ for some M\"obius transformations $\nu_{\sigma}$, and by $\Sigma(A)$…

We determine the structure of the finite non-solvable groups of order divisible by $3$ all whose maximal subgroups of order divisible by $3$ are supersolvable. Precisely, we demonstrate that if $G$ is a finite non-solvable group satisfying…

Let $G$ be a finite 2-group and $K$ be a field satisfying that (i) $\fn{char}K\ne 2$, and (ii) $\sqrt{a}\in K$ for any $a\in K$. If $G$ acts on the rational function field $K(x,y,z)$ by monomial $K$-automorphisms, then the fixed field…

We study the behaviour on some nodal hyperplanes of the isomorphism, described in a paper of 2019 by Boissi\`ere, Camere and Sarti, between the moduli space of smooth cubic threefolds and the moduli space of hyperk\"ahler fourfolds of…

We consider pro-isomorphic zeta functions of the groups $\Gamma(\mathcal{O}_K)$, where $\Gamma$ is a unipotent group scheme defined over $\mathbb{Z}$ and $K$ varies over all number fields. Under certain conditions, we show that these…

Let G=Aut_K (K(x)) be the Galois group of the transcendental degree one pure field extension K(x)/K. In this paper we describe polynomial time algorithms for computing the field Fix(H) fixed by a subgroup H < G and for computing the fixing…

We study infinite groups interpretable in power bounded $T$-convex, $V$-minimal or $p$-adically closed fields. We show that if $G$ is an interpretable definably semisimple group (i.e., has no definable infinite normal abelian subgroups)…

Let $k$ be a commutative Noetherian ring, and $k[S]$ the polynomial ring whose indeterminates are parameterized by elements in a set $S$. We show that $k[S]$ is Noetherian up to highly homogenous actions of groups. In particular, there is a…

Let k be a finite base field. In this note, making use of topological periodic cyclic homology and of the theory of noncommutative motives, we prove that the numerical Grothendieck group of every smooth proper dg k-linear category is a…

Let $A$ be an abelian surface over a finite field $k$. The $k$-isogeny class of $A$ is uniquely determined by a Weil polynomial $f_A$ of degree 4. We give a classification of the groups of $k$-rational points on varieties from this class in…

For a classical group $G$ of type $\mathsf D_n$ over a field $k$ of characteristic different from $2$, we show the existence of a finitely generated regular extension $R$ of $k$ such that $G$ admits outer automorphisms over $R$. Using this…

Denote by $\omega(G)$ the number of orbits of the action of $Aut(G)$ on the finite group $G$. We prove that if $G$ is a finite nonsolvable group in which $\omega(G) \leqslant 5$, then $G$ is isomorphic to one of the groups…

We give several examples of finite groups $G$ for which the rank of the tensor product $\mathbb{Z} \otimes_{\mathbb{Z}\mathrm{Aut}(G)}$ Wh$(G)$ is or is not zero. This is motivated by an earlier theorem of the first author, which implies as…

Let K be a p-adic field (a finite extension of some Q_p) and let K(t) be the field of rational functions over K. We define a kind of quadratic reciprocity symbol for polynomials over K and apply it to prove isotropy for a certain class of…

It is proven that for any representation over a field of characteristic 0 of the non-abelian semidirect product of a cyclic group of prime order p and the group of order 3 the corresponding algebra of polynomial invariants is generated by…

We give a positive solution to Noether's rationality problem for certain index $p$ subgroups of the $p$-Sylow subgoups of symmetric groups.

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group of type $E_n (n=6,7,8)$ defined over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $2$. We present examples of triples of closed reductive groups $H<M<G$ such that $H$ is $G$-completely reducible,…
