We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a polynomial of the form x^r*(1+x^v+x^(2v)+...+x^(kv))^t to permute the elements of the finite field GF(q). Our results yield especially simple criteria in case (q-1)/gcd(q-1,v) is a small…

I shall describe a general model-theoretic task to construct expansions of pseudofinite structures and discuss several examples of particular relevance to computational complexity. Then I will present one specific situation where finding a…

In this article the simple modules over the rank-two quantized Weyl algebras at roots of unity over an algebraically closed field are classified.

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic two, and let $\lambda$ be a two-part partition of some natural number $r$. Denote the permutation module corresponding to the (maximal) Young subgroup $\Sigma_\lambda$ in $\Sigma_r$ by $M^\lambda$. We…

Let R be a commutative ring with unity, M a module over R and let S be a G-set for a finite group G. We define a set MS to be the set of elements expressed as the formal finite sum of the form similar to the elements of group ring RG. The…

The Benson-Solomon systems comprise the only known family of simple saturated fusion systems at the prime two that do not arise as the fusion system of any finite group. We determine the automorphism groups and the possible almost simple…

We address the (pointed) homotopy of crossed module morphisms in modified categories of interest; which generalizes the groups and various algebraic structures. We prove that, the homotopy relation gives rise to an equivalence relation;…

Informed by our understanding of the tt-geometry of permutation modules, we investigate the proper definition of the `stable permutation category' of a finite group. Then we prove that this category decomposes over cyclic and generalized…

We interpret the unimodularity condition in almost commutative geometries as central extensions of spin lifts. In Connes' formulation of the standard model this interpretation allows to compute the hypercharges of the fermions.

In this paper we study complex representations of the factorpower $\fp(G,M)$ of a finite group $G$ acting on a finite set $M$. This includes the finite monoid $\FP$, which can be seen as a kind of a ``balanced'' generalization of the…

Differential modules over a commutative differential ring R which are finitely generated projective as ring modules, with differential homomorphisms, form an additive category, so their isomorphism classes form a monoid. We study the…

Summand absorbing submodules are common in modules over (additively) idempotent semirings, for example, in tropical algebra. A submodule $W$ of $V$ is summand absorbing, if $x + y \in W$ implies $x \in W, \; y \in W $ for any $x, y \in V$.…

We consider compact matrix quantum groups whose fundamental corepresentation matrix has entries which are partial isometries with central support. We show that such quantum groups have a simple representation as semi-direct product quantum…

Let $q>2$ be a prime power and $f={\tt x}^{q-2}+t{\tt x}^{q^2-q-1}$, where $t\in\Bbb F_q^*$. It was recently conjectured that $f$ is a permutation polynomial of $\Bbb F_{q^2}$ if and only if one of the following holds: (i) $t=1$, $q\equiv…

The monoid of multipliers of a semigroup object in a monoidal category is introduced, arising from an abstraction of the definition of the translational hull of an ordinary semigroup or of the multiplier algebra of a Banach algebra and…

In this work we describe all simple modules over Leavitt path algebras as induced modules from irreducible representations of the isotropy groups.

Let $G$ be the simple algebraic group $\mathrm{SL}_2$ defined over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p > 0$. Using results of A. Parker, we develop a method which gives, for any $q \in \mathbb{N}$, a closed form…

We describe a straightforward construction of the pseudo-split absolutely pseudo-simple groups of minimal type with irreducible root systems of type $BC_n$; these exist only in characteristic $2$. We also give a formula for the dimensions…

We investigate simple endotrivial modules of finite quasi-simple groups and classify them in several important cases. This is motivated by a recent result of Robinson showing that simple endotrivial modules of most groups come from…

We study the finite dimensional modules on the half-quantum group u_q^+ at a root of unity q, whose action can be extended to u_q (quotient of the quantized enveloping algebra of sl_2). We derive decomposition formulas of the tensor product…
