A graph is subcubic if it is connected and its maximum vertex degree does not exceed 3. Two disjoint vertex subsets of a graph $G$ form a connected coalition in $G$ if neither of them is a connected dominating set but their union is a…

For a finite abelian group $G$, let $\beta_{\mathrm{sep}}(G)$ denote its separating Noether number. We determine $\beta_{\mathrm{sep}}(G)$ exactly for every finite abelian group $ G \cong C_{n_1}\oplus \cdots \oplus C_{n_r}$ with $ 1<n_1…

Let $G$ be a group. We denote by $\nu(G)$ a certain extension of the non-abelian tensor square $G \otimes G$ by $G \times G$. In this paper we prove that the derived subgroup $\nu(G)'$ is a central product of three normal subgroups of…

If G is a finite graph, then the largest eigenvalue L of the adjacency matrix of G is a totally real algebraic integer (L is the Perron-Frobenius eigenvalue of G). We say that G is abelian if the field generated by L^2 is abelian. Given a…

Given an abstract group $G$, we study the function $ab_n(G) := \sup_{|G:H| \leq n} |H/[H,H]|$. If $G$ has no abelian composition factors, then $ab_n(G)$ is bounded by a polynomial: as a consequence, we find a sharp upper bound for the…

Let ${{B}_{3}}(n)$ denote the number of partition triples of $n$ where each partition is 3-core. With the help of generating function manipulations, we find several infinite families of arithmetic identities and congruences for…

The author in $($On the order of Schur multiplier of non-abelian $p$-groups. J. Algebra (2009).322: 4479--4482$)$ showed that for any $p$-group $G$ of order $p^n$ there exists a nonnegative integer $s(G)$ such that the order of Schur…

Let $G$ be a commutative algebraic group embedded in projective space and $\Gamma$ a finitely generated subgroup of $G$. From these data we construct a chain of algebraic subgroups of $G$ which is intimately related to obstructions to…

Let $G$ be a graph of order $n$. A path decomposition $\mathcal{P}$ of $G$ is a collection of edge-disjoint paths that covers all the edges of $G$. Let $p(G)$ denote the minimum number of paths needed in a path decomposition of $G$. Gallai…

Let $G$ be a graph whose edges are each assigned one of the $m$-colours $1, 2, \ldots, m$, and let $\Gamma$ be a subgroup of $S_m$. The operation of switching at a vertex $x$ with respect $\pi \in \Gamma$ permutes the colours of the edges…

Let $Z(G)$ be the centre of a finite non-abelian group $G.$ The non-commuting graph of $G$ is a simple undirected graph with vertex set $G\setminus Z(G),$ and two vertices $u$ and $v$ are adjacent if and only if $uv\ne vu.$ In this paper,…

For an Abelian group $G$, any homomorphism $\mu\colon G\otimes G\rightarrow G$ is called a \textsf{multiplication} on $G$. The set $\text{Mult}\,G$ of all multiplications on an Abelian group $G$ itself is an Abelian group with respect to…

A subset X of a group G is a set of pairwise non-commuting ele- ments if ab 6= ba for any two distinct elements a and b in X. If jXj ? jY j for any other set of pairwise non-commuting elements Y in G, then X is said to be a maximal subset…

Given integers $d\ge 3$ and $N\ge 3$. Let $G$ be a finite abelian group acting faithfully and linearly on a smooth hypersurface of degree $d$ in the complex projective space $\mathbb{P}^{N-1}$. Suppose $G\subset PGL(N, \mathbb{C})$ can be…

In this paper, we determine the dimension of the Terwilliger algebras of non-abelian finite groups admitting an abelian subgroup of index 2 by showing that they are triply transitive. Moreover, we give a complete characterization of the…

The notion of travel groupoids was introduced by L. Nebesk\'y in 2006 in connection with a study on geodetic graphs. A travel groupoid is a pair of a set $V$ and a binary operation $*$ on $V$ satisfying two axioms. For a travel groupoid, we…

A group G is sharply 2-transitive if it admits a faithful permutation representation that is transitive and free on pairs of distinct points. Conjecturally, for all such groups there exists a near-field N (i.e. a skew field that is…

We classify gradings by arbitrary abelian groups on the classical simple Lie and Jordan superalgebras $Q(n)$, $n \geq 2$, over an algebraically closed field of characteristic different from $2$ (and not dividing $n+1$ in the Lie case): fine…

We construct infinitely many abelian surfaces A defined over the rational numbers such that, for a prime ell <= 7, the ell-torsion subgroup of A is not isomorphic as a Galois module to the ell-torsion subgroup of its dual. We do this by…

We consider two variants of those Abelian groups with all proper strongly invariant subgroups isomorphic and give an in-depth study of their basic and specific properties in either parallel or contrast to the Abelian groups with all proper…
