Denote by $P_k$ the graded polynomial algebra $\mathbb F_2[x_1,x_2,\ldots ,x_k]$ over the prime field of two elements, $\mathbb F_2$, with the degree of each $x_i$ being 1. We study the Peterson hit problem of determining a minimal set of…

Given a prime number \(p\) and a natural number \(m\) not divided by \(p\), we propose the problem of finding the smallest number \(r_{0}\) such that for \(r\geq r_{0}\), every group \(G\) of order \(p^{r}m\) has a non-trivial normal…

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 $…

The Harborth constant of a finite group $G$, denoted $\gs(G)$, is the smallest integer $k$ such that the following holds: For $A\subseteq G$ with $|A|=k$, there exists $B\subseteq A$ with $|B|=\exp(G)$ such that the elements of $B$ can be…

We explicitly describe the divisor class groups and semidualizing modules for ladder determinantal rings with coefficients in an arbitrary normal domain for arbitrary ladders, not necessarily connected, and all sizes of minors.

We determine the minimum possible critical exponent for all palindromes over finite alphabets.

10 is the smallest positive integer which is whether solitary or friendly is still an open question in mathematics. In this paper, we provide upper bounds for each of the prime divisors of a friend of 10. This paper is precisely a…

In the Minimum $d$-Dimensional Arrangement Problem (d-dimAP) we are given a graph with edge weights, and the goal is to find a 1-1 map of the vertices into $\mathbb{Z}^d$ (for some fixed dimension $d\geq 1$) minimizing the total weighted…

We study finite groups $G$ having a normal subgroup $H$ and $D \subset G \setminus H, D \cap D^{-1}=\emptyset,$ such that the multiset $\{ xy^{-1}:x,y \in D\}$ has every non-identity element occur the same number of times (such a $D$ is…

Counting homomorphisms between cyclic groups is a common exercise in a first course in abstract algebra. A similar problem, accessible at the same level, is to count the number of group homomorphisms from a dihedral group of order $2m$ into…

Let $A$ be a set in a prime field $\mathbb{F}_p$. In this paper, we prove that $d\times d$ matrices with entries in $A$ determine almost $|A|^{3+\frac{1}{45}}$ distinct determinants and almost $|A|^{2-\frac{1}{6}}$ distinct permanents when…

The distinguishing number $D(\Gamma)$ of a graph $\Gamma$ is the least size of a partition of the vertices of $\Gamma$ such that no non-trivial automorphism of $\Gamma$ preserves this partition. We show that if the automorphism group of a…

We fix a field $\kk$ of characteristic $p$. For a finite group $G$ denote by $\delta(G)$ and $\sigma(G)$ respectively the minimal number $d$, such that for any finite dimensional representation $V$ of $G$ over $\kk$ and any $v\in…

The WL-rank of a graph $\Gamma$ is defined to be the rank of the coherent configuration of $\Gamma$. The WL-dimension of $\Gamma$ is defined to be the smallest positive integer $m$ for which $\Gamma$ is identified by the $m$-dimensional…

Several relations and bounds for the dimension of principal ideals in group algebras are determined by analyzing minimal polynomials of regular representations. These results are used in the two last sections. First, in the context of…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring and $D$ be a discrete Hodge algebra over $R$ of dimension $d>\text{dim}(R)$. Then we show that (i) the top Euler class group $E^d(D)$ of $D$ is trivial. (ii) if $d>\text{dim}(R)+1$, then $(d-1)$-st…

We compute all irregular primes less than 2^31 = 2 147 483 648. We verify the Kummer-Vandiver conjecture for each of these primes, and we check that the p-part of the class group of Q(zeta_p) has the simplest possible structure consistent…

We study the rings of invariants for the indecomposable modular representations of the Klein four group. For each such representation we compute the Noether number and give minimal generating sets for the Hilbert ideal and the field of…
