Let $p$ be a prime number. We consider diagonal $p$-permutation functors over a (commutative, unital) ring $\mathsf{R}$ in which all prime numbers different from $p$ are invertible. We first determine the finite groups $G$ for which the…

We give a simple matrix-based proof of congruence equations modulo a prime $p$ involving sums of binomial coefficients appearing in Pascal's triangle. These equations can be used to construct some groups of exponent $p^n$. These groups, as…

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…

Siegel proved that every totally positive element of a number field K is the sum of four squares, so in particular the Pythagoras number is uniformly bounded across number fields. The p-adic Kochen operator provides a p-adic analogue of…

Let $p$ be a prime and $G$ a subgroup of $GL_d(p)$. We define $G$ to be $p$-exceptional if it has order divisible by $p$, but all its orbits on vectors have size coprime to $p$. We obtain a classification of $p$-exceptional linear groups.…

Let L/F be a dihedral extension of degree 2p, where p is an odd prime. Let K/F and k/F be subextensions of L/F with degrees p and 2, respectively. Then we will study relations between the p-ranks of the class groups Cl(K) and Cl(k).

In this article we explain how to construct cyclic octic unramfied extensions of the real quadratic number field $k = {\mathbb Q}(\sqrt{2p}\,)$, where $p \equiv 1 \bmod 8$ is a prime number such that $h_2(k) \equiv 0 \bmod 8$. The…

We give a new characterization of the set $\mathcal{C}$ of Carmichael numbers in the context of $p$-adic theory, independently of the classical results of Korselt and Carmichael. The characterization originates from a surprising link to the…

We determine the mod-p cohomology rings of an infinite family of p-groups, for odd primes p, with cyclic derived subgroups. Our method involves embedding the groups in a compact Lie group of dimension one, and was suggested by P. H.…
