Inspired by the Erd\"os-Turan conjecture we consider subsets of the natural numbers that contains infinitely many aritmetic progressions (APs) of any given length - such sets will be called AP-sets and we know due to the Green-Tao Theorem…

Let $G$ be a multiplicative subgroup of the prime field $\mathbb F_p$ of size $|G|> p^{1-\kappa}$ and $r$ an arbitrarily fixed positive integer. Assuming $\kappa=\kappa(r)>0$ and $p$ large enough, it is shown that any proportional subset…

Geometric grid classes and the substitution decomposition have both been shown to be fundamental in the understanding of the structure of permutation classes. In particular, these are the two main tools in the recent classification of…

In this paper we expand on previous results, studying the extent to which one can detect fusion in certain finite groups $\Gamma$, from information about the universal deformation rings of absolutely irreducible…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. Let $c,d\in \mathbb{N}$ be such that $h=c+d>0$. Let $H$ be a $p$-divisible group of codimension $c$ and dimension $d$ over $k$. For $m\in\mathbb{N}^\ast$ let…

Let $p$ be a prime. If an integer $g$ generates a subgroup of index $t$ in $(\mathbb Z/p\mathbb Z)^*,$ then we say that $g$ is a $t$-near primitive root modulo $p$. We point out the easy result that each primitive residue class contains a…

It is well known that for any prime $p\equiv 3$ (mod $4$), the class numbers of the quadratic fields $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{p})$ and $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-p})$, $h(p)$ and $h(-p)$ respectively, are odd. It is natural to ask whether there is a…

An element $x$ in a finite group $G$ is said to be \textit{vanishing} if some (complex) irreducible character of $G$ takes value $0$ at $x$. In this article, we prove that every non-abelian finite simple group, except $\mathrm{SL}_2(4)$ and…

Let $G$ be a nontrivial transitive permutation group on a finite set $\Omega$. An element of $G$ is said to be a derangement if it has no fixed points on $\Omega$. From the orbit counting lemma, it follows that $G$ contains a derangement,…

We prove an arithmetic removal result for all compact abelian groups, generalizing a finitary removal result of Kr\'al', Serra and the third author. To this end, we consider infinite measurable hypergraphs that are invariant under certain…

A permutation $\pi$ contains a pattern $\sigma$ if and only if there is a subsequence in $\pi$ with its letters are in the same relative order as those in $\sigma$. Partially ordered patterns (POPs) provide a convenient way to denote…

Fix a prime $p \ge 5$ and define $g(2n,p)=\#\{(h,k)\in\mathbb{Z}_{>0}^2 : h+k=2n,\; h\le k,\; \gcd(h,6p)=\gcd(k,6p)=1\}$. We derive explicit closed-form expressions for $g(2n,p)$ in terms of the canonical remainder operator…

In this paper, I show that if $p$ is an odd prime, and if $P$ is a finite $p$-group, then there exists an exact sequence of abelian groups $$0\to T(P)\to D(P)\to\lproj{P}\to H^1\big(\apdeux(P),\Z\big)^{(P)},$$ where $D(P)$ is the Dade group…

We present the first fixed-length elementary closed-form expressions for the prime-counting function, $\pi(n)$, and the $n$-th prime number, $p(n)$. These expressions are arithmetic terms, requiring only a finite and fixed number of…

The endomorphism algebras of the permutation modules for transitive permutation groups, known as Hecke algebras, are fundamental objects in representation theory. While group algebras are known to be symmetric over any field, it is natural…

Let $\sigma =\{\sigma_{i} | i\in I\}$ be some partition of the set of all primes $\Bbb{P}$ and $\Pi$ a non-empty subset of the set $\sigma$. A set ${\cal H}$ of subgroups of a finite group $G$ is said to be a \emph{ complete Hall $\Pi…

Let $G$ be a group. We denote by $\nu(G)$ a certain extension of the non-abelian tensor square $[G,G^{\varphi}]$ by $G \times G$. We prove that if $G$ is a finite potent $p$-group, then $[G,G^{\varphi}]$ and the $k$-th term of the lower…

We consider the integer group determinants for groups that are semidirect products of $\mathbb Z_p$ and $\mathbb Z_n$ with $p$ prime and $n\mid p-1$. We give a complete description of the integer group determinants for the general affine…

Let G be a reductive p-adic group and let Rep(G)^s be a Bernstein block in the category of smooth complex G-representations. We investigate the structure of Rep(G)^s, by analysing the algebra of G-endomorphisms of a progenerator \Pi of that…

We show that if $A$ is a subset of a group of prime order $p$ such that $|2A|<2.7652|A|$ and $|A|<1.25\cdot10^{-6}p$, then $A$ is contained in an arithmetic progression with at most $|2A|-|A|+1$ terms, and $2A$ contains an arithmetic…
