We propose a simple criterion to know if an abelian variety $A$ defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ is cyclic, i.e., it has a cyclic group of rational points; this criterion is based on the endomorphism ring End$_{\mathbb{F}_q}(A)$.…

We prove that if every Schmidt subgroup of a group $G$ is subnormal or modular, then $G/F(G)$ is cyclic

We prove that a finite group is rational if and only if it has a set of permutation characters which separate conjugacy classes. It follows from this that a finite group is rational if and only if it has a representation as a permutation…

Let $G$ be a group. A subset $D$ of $G$ is a determining set of $G$, if every automorphism of $G$ is uniquely determined by its action on $D$. The determining number of $G$, denoted by $\alpha(G)$, is the cardinality of a smallest…

Consider a graph $\Gamma$. A set $ S $ of vertices in $\Gamma$ is called a {cyclic vertex cutset} of $\Gamma$ if $\Gamma - S$ is disconnected and has at least two components containing cycles. If $\Gamma$ has a cyclic vertex cutset, then it…

Let $\psi(G) = \sum_{g \in G} o(g)$ denote the sum of element orders of a finite group $G$. It is known that among groups of order $n$, the cyclic group $C_n$ maximizes $\psi$. T\u{a}rn\u{a}uceanu proved that two finite abelian $p$-groups…

We obtain the formula computing the number of isomorphic classes of element systems with characters over finite commutative group $G$.

Let $G$ be a finite group. Let $X_1(G)$ be the first column of the ordinary character table of $G.$ In this paper, we will show that if $X_1(G)=X_1(S_n),$ then $G\cong S_n.$ As a consequence, we show that $S_n$ is uniquely determined by the…

We make a list of finite simple groups whose group rings over a given field are serial.

Let $S$ be a semigroup. The elements $a,b\in S$ are called primarily conjugate if $a=xy$ and $b=yx$ for certain $x,y\in S$. The relation of conjugacy is defined as the transitive closure of the relation of primary conjugacy. In the case…

We define an algebraic group over a group $G$ to be a variety - that is, a subset of $G^d$ defined by equations over $G$ - endowed with a group law whose coordinates can be expressed as word maps. In the case where $G$ is a torsion-free…

T\u{a}rn\u{a}uceanu described the finite groups $G$ having exactly $|G|-1$ cyclic subgroups. In "Finite Groups with a Prescribed Number of Cyclic Subgroups,", we used elementary methods to completely characterize those finite groups $G$…

It is shown that a necessary condition for an abstract group G to be the full automorphism group of a Hamiltonian cycle system is that G has odd order or it is either binary, or the affine linear group AGL(1; p) with p prime. We show that…

We develop a practical algorithm to decide whether a finitely generated subgroup of a solvable algebraic group $G$ is arithmetic. This incorporates a procedure to compute a generating set of an arithmetic subgroup of $G$. We also provide a…

Cyclic sieving is a well-known phenomenon where certain interesting polynomials, especially $q$-analogues, have useful interpretations related to actions and representations of the cyclic group. We propose a definition of sieving for an…

We explicitly determine all CI-groups with respect to ternary relational structures that have the form $C \times D$, where $C$ is cyclic and $D$ is either a dicyclic group whose order is not divisible by $3$ or a dihedral group. Such groups…

In this article, we introduce the study of a class of finite groups $G$ which admits a subgroup which intersects all non-trivial subgroups of $G$. We also explore a subclass of it consisting of all groups $G$ in which the prime order…

Let PL+(S1) be the group of order preserving piecewise linear homeomorphisms of the circle. An element in PL+(S1) is called reversible in PL+(S1) if it is conjugate to its inverse in PL+(S1). We characterize the reversible elements in…

Let $G$ be a free product of two groups with amalgamated subgroup, $\pi$ be either the set of all prime numbers or the one-element set \{$p$\} for some prime number $p$. Denote by $\Sigma$ the family of all cyclic subgroups of group $G$,…

Linear second order recursive sequences with arbitrary initial conditions are studied. For sequences with the same parameters a ring and a group is attached, and isomorphisms and homomorphisms are established for related parameters. In the…
