Let $G$ be a multiplicatively written finite group. We denote by $\mathsf E(G)$ the smallest integer $t$ such that every sequence of $t$ elements in $G$ contains a product-one subsequence of length $|G|$. In 1961, Erd\H{o}s, Ginzburg and…

We determine the minimal number of variables $\Gamma^*(d, K)$ which guarantees a nontrivial solution for every additive form of degree $d=2m$, $m$ odd, $m \ge 3$ over the six ramified quadratic extensions of $\mathbb{Q}_2$. We prove that if…

In this paper, we construct odd unimodular lattices in dimensions n=36,37 having minimum norm 3 and 4s=n-16, where s is the minimum norm of the shadow. We also construct odd unimodular lattices in dimensions n=41,43,44 having minimum norm 4…

Let $d(G)$ be the minimum number of elements required to generated a group $G.$ For a group $G $ of order $p^n$ with derived subgroup of order $ p^k $ and $d(G) = d,$ we knew the order of the Schur multiplier of $G$ is bounded by $…

Let N be an o-minimal structure. In this paper we develop group extension and group cohomology theory over N and use it to describe the N-definable solvable groups. We prove an o-minimal analogue of the Lie-Kolchin-Mal'cev theorem and we…

Let $O$ be an order of odd discriminant $D$ in an imaginary quadratic field $K$. Let $Cl(O)$ be the group of proper $O$-ideals and $Cl(O)[2]$ the kernel of multiplication by $2$ in $Cl(O)$. We describe explicitly the group $Cl(O)[2]$. In…

We determine the minimal non-trivial integer group determinant for the dicyclic group of order $4n$ when $n$ is odd. We also discuss the set of all integer group determinants for the dicyclic groups of order $4p$.

We prove that if the average of the degrees of the irreducible characters of a finite group $G$ is less than 16/5, then $G$ is solvable. This solves a conjecture of I.M. Isaacs, M. Loukaki, and the first author. We discuss related…

In the classical combinatorial (adaptive) group testing problem, one is given two integers \(d\) and \(n\), where \(0\le d\le n\), and a population of \(n\) items, exactly \(d\) of which are known to be defective. The question is to devise…

This paper contains the decomposition matrices for blocks of defect at most $2$ in Category $\mathcal{O}_c(W)$ of the rational Cherednik algebra when $W=E_8$ or $F_4$ with equal parameters $c=1/d$, $d>2$ a regular number of $W$. A corollary…

Let $\mathcal A$ be an $\mathbb F$-algebra and let $\mathcal S$ be its generating set. The length of $\mathcal S$ is the smallest number $k$ such that $\mathcal A$ equals the $\mathbb F$-linear span of all products of length at most $k$ of…

We prove that an eulerian graph $G$ admits a decomposition into $k$ closed trails of odd length if and only if and it contains at least $k$ pairwise edge-disjoint odd circuits and $k\equiv |E(G)|\pmod{2}$. We conjecture that a connected…

We give an upper bound for the rank $r$ of homogeneous (even) Clifford structures on compact manifolds of non-vanishing Euler characteristic. More precisely, we show that if $r=2^a\cdot b$ with $b$ odd, then $r\le 9$ for $a=0$, $r\le 10$…

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 $d$ be a fixed positive integer and let $\epsilon>0$. It is shown that for every sufficiently large $n\geq n_0(d,\epsilon)$, the $d$-dimensional unit cube can be decomposed into exactly $n$ smaller cubes such that the ratio of the side…

Let $\lambda(G)$ be the maximum number of subgroups in an irredundant covering of a finite group $G$. We prove that the finite groups with $\lambda(G)=|G|-t$, where $t\leq 5$, are solvable, and classify such groups.

Let $o(G)$ be the average order of a finite group $G$. We show that if $o(G)<c$, where $c\in \lbrace \frac{13}{6}, \frac{11}{4}\rbrace$, then $G$ is an elementary abelian 2-group or a solvable group, respectively. Also, we prove that the…

It has been shown by several authors that there exists a non-solvable Bieberbach group of dimension $15$. In this note we show that this is in fact a minimal dimension for such kind of groups.

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field, $\mathop{char}(k) = p \geq 2$ and $E_r$ be a $p$-elementary abelian group of rank $r \geq 2$. Let $(c,d) \in \mathbb{N}^2$. We show that there exists an indecomposable module of constant Jordan type…
