We classify the dessins $\mathcal D$ for which the automorphism group $G$ acts primitively and faithfully on the points over one of the three critical values (without loss of generality the black vertices in the usual bipartite map…

Let $k$ be a field and $G$ be a finite group acting on the rational function field $k(x_g : g\in G)$ by $k$-automorphisms defined as $h(x_g)=x_{hg}$ for any $g,h\in G$. We denote the fixed field $k(x_g : g\in G)^G$ by $k(G)$. Noether's…

A group is said to be capable if it is the central factor of some group. In this paper, among other results we have characterized capable groups of order $p^2q$, for any distinct primes $p, q$, which extends Theorem 1.2 of S. Rashid, N. H.…

Let $G$ be a finite reductive group defined over $\mathbb{F}_q$, with $q$ a power of a prime $p$. Motivated by a problem recently posed by C. Curtis, we first develop an algorithm to express each element of $G$ into a canonical form in…

In this paper we present an extension of the removal lemma to integer linear systems over abelian groups. We prove that, if the $k$--determinantal of an integer $(k\times m)$ matrix $A$ is coprime with the order $n$ of a group $G$ and the…

Finite $p$-groups of nilpotency class 2 are treated from the perspective of central extensions. Given finite abelian groups $G,A$, we derive an explicit formula for cocycles representing elements of $H^2(G,A)$, compute $H^2(G,A)$, and…

Let $A$ and $G$ be finite groups such that $A$ acts coprimely on $G$ by automorphisms, assume that $G$ has a maximal $A$-invariant subgroup $M$ that is a direct product of some isomorphic simple groups, we prove that if $G$ has a…

Given a finite group $G$, let $\pi(G)$ denote the set of all primes that divide the order of $G$. For a prime $r \in \pi(G)$, we define $r$-singular elements as those elements of $G$ whose order is divisible by $r$. Denote by $S_r(G)$ the…

If G is a finite group and k is a field, there is a natural construction of a Hopf algebra over k associated to G, the Drinfel'd double D(G). We prove that if G is any finite real reflection group with Drinfel'd double D(G) over an…

A positive integer $m$ will be called a {\it finitistic order} for an element $\gamma$ of a group $\Gamma$ if there exist a finite group $G$ and a homomorphism $h:\Gamma\to G$ such that $h(\gamma)$ has order $m$ in $G$. It is shown that up…

We study finite p-groups G of coclass upto 4 for which the group Aut_z(G) of all central automorphisms of G is of minimal possible order. As a consequence, we obtain very short and elementary proofs of main results of Sharma and Gumber [7].

We construct central elements in a completion of the quantum affine algebra at the critical level c=-g from the universal R-matrix (g being the dual Coxeter number of the corresponding simple Lie algebra), using the method of Reshetikhin…

The spectrum $\omega(G)$ of a finite group $G$ is the set of element orders of $G$. If $\Omega$ is a non-empty subset of the set of natural numbers, $h(\Omega)$ stands for the number of isomorphism classes of finite groups $G$ with…
