Let $G$ be a finite $p$-group and $N$ be a normal subgroup of $G$, with $|N|=p^n$ and $|G/N|=p^m$. A result of Ellis (1998) shows that the order of the Schur multiplier of such a pair $(G,N)$ of finite $p$-groups is bounded by $…

Let G be a connected algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p (possibly 0), and X a variety on which G acts transitively with connected stabilizers. We show that any \'etale Galois cover of X of degree prime to…

We obtain lower bounds for the maximum dimension of a simple FG-module, where G is a finite group and F is an algebraically closed field of characteristic p. The bounds are described in terms of properties of p-subgroups of G. When p is 2…

This note presents an upper bound for the least prime primitive roots $g^*(p)$ modulo $p$, a large prime. The current literature has several estimates of the least prime primitive root $g^*(p)$ modulo a prime $p\geq 2$ such as $g^*(p)\ll…

We prove that if the signed binomial coefficient $(-1)^i\binom{k}{i}$ viewed modulo p is a periodic function of i with period h prime to p in the range $0\le i\le k$, then k+1 is a power of p, provided h is not too large compared to k. (In…

Let $g$ be a fixed holomorphic cusp form of arbitrary level and nebentypus. Let $\chi$ be a primitive character of prime-power modulus $q = p^{\gamma}$. In this paper, we prove the following hybrid Weyl-type subconvexity bound…

R. Baer has proved that if the factor-group G/{\zeta}_{n}(G) of a group G by the member {\zeta}_{n}(G) of its upper central series is finite (here n is a positive integer) then the member {\gamma}_{n+1}(G) of the lower central series of G…

In this paper, we show that a locally graded group with a finite number m of non-(nilpotent of class at most n) subgroups is (soluble of class at most [log2(n)] + m + 3)-by-(finite of order $\le$ m!). Also we show that the derived length of…

In this paper, we prove the twin prime conjecture showing that \begin{align} \sum \limits_{\substack{p\leq x\\p,p+2\in \mathbb{P}}}1\geq (1+o(1))\frac{x}{2\mathcal{C}\log^2 x}\nonumber \end{align} where $\mathcal{C}:=\mathcal{C}(2)>0$ fixed…

Let $p$ be a prime number, $F$ a field containing a root of unity of order $p$, and $G_F$ the absolute Galois group. Extending results of Hopkins, Wickelgren, Minac and Tan, we prove that the triple Massey product $H^1(G_F)^3\to H^2(G_F)$…

For a finite abelian group $G$, the Erd\H{o}s-Ginzburg-Ziv constant $\mathfrak{s}(G)$ is the smallest $s$ such that every sequence of $s$ (not necessarily distinct) elements of $G$ has a zero-sum subsequence of length…

The $2$-closure $\overline{G}$ of a permutation group $G$ on $\Omega$ is defined to be the largest permutation group on $\Omega$, having the same orbits on $\Omega\times\Omega$ as $G$. It is proved that if $G$ is supersolvable, then…

Let $m,n$ be positive integers and $p$ a prime. We denote by $\nu(G)$ an extension of the non-abelian tensor square $G \otimes G$ by $G \times G$. We prove that if $G$ is a residually finite group satisfying some non-trivial identity $f…

Let $q$ be a fixed odd prime. We show that a finite subset $B$ of integers, not containing any perfect $q^{th}$ power, contains a $q^{th}$ power modulo almost every prime if and only if $B$ corresponds to a blocking set (with respect to…

For any odd prime $p$, we give an example of a locally finite $p$-group $G$ containing a left 3-Engel element $x$ where $\langle x \rangle^G$ is not nilpotent.

As early as the 1930s, P\'al Erd\H{o}s conjectured that: {\em for any multiplicative function $f:\mathbb{N}\to\{-1,1\}$, the partial sums $\sum_{n\leq x}f(n)$ are unbounded.} Considering this conjecture, in this paper we consider…

It has been proved in \cite{ge} for every $p$-group of order $p^n$, $|\mathcal{M}(G)|=p^{\f{1}{2}n(n-1)-t(G)}$, where $t(G)\geq 0$. In \cite{be, el, zh}, the structure of $G$ has been characterized for $t(G)=0,1,2,3$ by several authors.…

The minimal degree of a permutation group $G$ is defined as the minimal number of non-fixed points of a non-trivial element of $G$. In this paper we show that if $G$ is a transitive permutation group of degree $n$ having no non-trivial…
