In this paper we study the relationships between the elementary abelian regular subgroups and the Sylow $2$-subgroups of their normalisers in the symmetric group $\mathrm{Sym}(\mathbb{F}_2^n)$, in view of the interest that they have…

An algorithm is presented allowing the construction of fast Fourier transforms for any solvable group on a classical computer. The special structure of the recursion formula being the core of this algorithm makes it a good starting point to…

Absract It is proposed that there exist, within a new $SU(2)^{'}$, a gauged discrete group $Q_6$ (the order 12 double dihedral group) acting as a family symmetry. This nonabelian finite group can explain hierarchical features of families,…

We single out a class of difference families which is widely used in some constructions of Hadamard matrices and which we call Goethals--Seidel (GS) difference families. They consist of four subsets (base blocks) of a finite abelian group…

By a result of Noritzsch, a finite solvable group whose non-linear character degrees have the same set of prime divisors is meta-abelian. In this note we investigate finite non-solvable groups whose non-linear character degrees have the…

Equiangular tight frames (ETFs) and biangular tight frames (BTFs) - sets of unit vectors with basis-like properties whose pairwise absolute inner products admit exactly one or two values, respectively - are useful for many applications. A…

In this article, we study the derivations of group algebras of some important groups, namely, dihedral ($D_{2n}$), Dicyclic ($T_{4n}$) and Semi-dihedral ($SD_{8n}$). First, we explicitly classify all inner derivations of a group algebra…

We introduce a class of strongly \'{e}tale difference algebras, whose role in the study of difference equations is analogous to the role of \'{e}tale algebras in the study of algebraic equations. We deduce an improved version of Babbitt's…

We study six-dimensional N=(1,0) supergravity theories with abelian, as well as non-abelian, gauge group factors. We show that for theories with fewer than nine tensor multiplets, the number of possible combinations of gauge groups -…

For nearly a century, mathematicians have been developing techniques for constructing abelian automorphism groups of combinatorial objects, and, conversely, constructing combinatorial objects from abelian groups. While abelian groups are a…

In this paper we explicitly determine all indicators for groups isomorphic to the semidirect product of two cyclic groups by an automorphism of prime order, as well as the generalized quaternion groups. We then compute the indicators for…

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…

Difference sets have been studied for more than 80 years. Techniques from algebraic number theory, group theory, finite geometry, and digital communications engineering have been used to establish constructive and nonexistence results. We…

A finite group of order $n$ is said to have the distinct divisor property (DDP) if there exists a permutation $g_1,\ldots, g_n$ of its elements such that $g_i^{-1}g_{i+1} \neq g_j^{-1}g_{j+1}$ for all $1\leq i<j<n$. We show that an abelian…

When considering the unit group of $\mathcal{O}_F G$ ($\mathcal{O}_F$ the ring of integers of an abelian number field $F$ and a finite group $G$) certain components in the Wedderburn decomposition of $FG$ cause problems for known generic…

Let p be a fixed prime. An Abelian p-group is an Abelian group (not necessarily finitely generated) in which every element has for its order some power of p. The countable Abelian p-groups are classified by Ulm's theorem, and Khisamiev…

We study the structure of infinite discrete sets D definable in expansions of ordered Abelian groups whose theories are strong and definably complete, with particular emphasis on the set D' comprised of differences between successive…

This paper is a continuation of the paper "Numerical Semigroups: Ap\'ery Sets and Hilbert Series". We consider the general numerical AA-semigroup, i.e., semigroups consisting of all non-negative integer linear combinations of relatively…

The semidirect discrete logarithm problem (SDLP) in finite groups was proposed as a foundation for post-quantum cryptographic protocols, based on the belief that its non-abelian structure would resist quantum attacks. However, recent…

Finite (or Discrete) Fourier Transforms (FFT) are essential tools in engineering disciplines based on signal transmission, which is the case in most of them. FFT are related with circulant matrices, which can be viewed as group matrices of…
