We determine the $3$-class groups of $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[3]{p})$ and $K=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[3]{p},\sqrt{-3})$ when $p\equiv 4,7\bmod 9$ is a prime and $3$ is a cubic modulo $p$. This confirms a conjecture made by Barrucand-Cohn, and proves the…
Let $p$ be an odd prime number, $D_p$ be the dihedral group of order $2p$, $h_p$ and $h^+_p$ be the class numbers of $\bm{Q}(\zeta_p)$ and $\bm{Q}(\zeta_p+ \zeta_p^{-1})$ respectively. Theorem. $h_p^+=1$ if and only if, for any field $k$…
Let G be a finite group of order n and V an irreducible representation over the complex numbers of dimension d. For some nonnegative number e, we have n=d(d+e). If e is small, then the character of V has unusually large degree. We fix e and…
Let $G$ be an odd order nilpotent group with class 2 and $e$ denotes the exponent of its commutator subgroup. Let $e=p_1^{r_1}p_2^{r_2}... p_s^{r_s}$, where $p_i$'s are odd primes and $r_i$'s are non-negative integers. Then there are at…
We classify the upper ramification breaks of totally ramified nonabelian extensions of degree $p^3$ over a local field of characteristic $p>0$. We find that nonintegral upper ramification breaks can occur for each nonabelian Galois group of…
For a rational prime $p\neq 2$, we compute the sequence of ramification groups of a Galois, radical and finite extension $L/F$ where $F/\mathbb{Q}_p$ is an unramified finite extension. First, we compute it in the case where the exponent of…
The group isomorphism problem determines whether two groups, given by their Cayley tables, are isomorphic. For groups with order $n$, an algorithm with $n^{(\log n + O(1))}$ running time, attributed to Tarjan, was proposed in the 1970s…
In this article, we determine all inequivalent irreducible rational matrix representations of groups of order $p^5$, where $p$ is an odd prime. We also derive combinatorial formulations for the Wedderburn decomposition of rational group…
Let G be a powerful finite p-group. In this note, we give a short elementary proof of the following facts for all $i\ge 0$: (i) $\exp \Omega_-i(G)\le p^i$ for odd p, and $\exp \Omega_-i(G)\le 2^{i+1}$ for p = 2; (ii) the index $|G:G^{p^i}|$…
Let $G$ be a finite $p$-group of order $p^n$. YA. G. Berkovich (Journal of Algebra {\bf 144}, 269-272 (1991)) proved that $G$ is elementary abelian $p$-group if and only if the order of its Schur multiplier, $M(G)$, is at the maximum case.…
In this note we provide some counterexamples for the conjectures of finite simple groups, one of the conjectures said "all finite simple groups $G$ can be determined using their orders $|G|$ and the number of elements of order $p$, where…
Let R be a unitary ring of finite cardinality P^k, where p is a prime number and $p\nmid k$. We show that if the group of units of $R$ has at most one subgroup of order $p$, then $R\cong A\bigoplus B,$ where $B$ is a finite ring of order…
In this article, we shall generalize a theorem due to Frobenius in group theory, which asserts that if $p$ is a prime and $p^{r}$ divides the order of a finite group, then the number of subgroups of order $p^{r}$ is $\equiv$ 1(mod $p$).…
We obtain a complete description of the integer group determinants for $\mathbb Z_{18}$ (these are the $18\times18$ circulant determinants with integer entries) and $\mathbb Z_3 \times \mathbb Z_6$, the two abelian groups of order 18. This…
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$, $p$ an odd prime number and $n$ a positive integer. In this article, we investigate the ideal class group $\mathrm{Cl}(\mathbb{Q}(E[p^n]))$ of the $p^n$-division field $\mathbb{Q}(E[p^n])$ of…
The sequence $A067549$ of The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences is defined as $(a_k)_{k \geq 1}$ with $a_k$ being the determinant of the $k \times k$ matrix whose diagonal contains the first $k$ prime numbers and all other elements…
Paul Erdos posed the following question: Is there a prime number $p>5$ such that the residues of $2!$, $3!$,\ldots, $(p-1)!$ modulo $p$ all are distinct? In this short note, we prove that there are no such prime numbers.
For a prime p and natural number n with p greater than or equal to n, we establish the existence of a non-functorial one-to-one correspondence between isomorphism classes of groups of order p^n whose derived subgroup has exponent dividing…
Let $p_{k,3}(n)$ enumerate the number of 2-color partition triples of $n$ where one of the colors appears only in parts that are multiples of $k$. In this paper, we prove several infinite families of congruences modulo powers of 3 for…
It is proved that, for a prime $p>2$ and integer $n\geq 1$, finite $p$-groups of nilpotency class $3$ and having only two conjugacy class sizes $1$ and $p^n$ exist if and only if $n$ is even; moreover, for a given even positive integer,…
