Starting from some ideas given by Bales in [Ba; 09], in this paper we present an algorithm for computing the elements of the basis in an algebra obtained by the Cayley-Dickson process. As a consequence of this result, we prove that an…

Using the theory of the symmetry group for PDEs [15, 17], we derive the symmetry group G associated to surfaces PDE. Several group invariant solutions of the surfaces PDE are given by solving a reduced system of partial differential…

A magic labelling of a set system is a labelling of its points by distinct positive integers so that every set of the system has the same sum, the magic sum. Examples are magic squares (the sets are the rows, columns, and diagonals) and…

A finite group R is a CI-group if, whenever S and T are subsets of R with the Cayley graphs Cay(R,S) and Cay(R,T) isomorphic, there exists an automorphism x of R with S^x=T. The classification of CI-groups is an open problem in the theory…

A map on a surface whose automorphism group has a subgroup acting regularly on its vertices is called a Cayley map. Here we generalize that notion to maniplexes and polytopes. We define $\mathcal{M}$ to be a \emph{Cayley extension} of…

A perfect isometry is an important relation between blocks of finite groups as many information about blocks are preserved by it. If we consider the group of all perfect isometries between a block to itself then this gives another…

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $H$ be a proper subgroup of $G$ of minimal index. By applying an old result of Y. Berkovich, we provide a polynomial algorithm for computing $|G : H|$ for a permutation group $G$. Moreover, we find $H$…

The aim of this paper is to explain, mostly through examples, what groupoids are and how they describe symmetry. We will begin with elementary examples, with discrete symmetry, and end with examples in the differentiable setting which…

This article is concerned with perfect isometries between blocks of finite groups. Generalizing a method of Enguehard to show that any two p-blocks of (possibly different) symmetric groups with the same weight are perfectly isometric, we…

This note is devoted to proving the following result: given a compact metrizable group G, there is a compact metric space K such that G is isomorphic (as a topological group) to the isometry group of K.

A Cayley graph over a group G is said to be central if its connection set is a normal subset of G. It is proved that for any two central Cayley graphs over explicitly given almost simple groups of order n, the set of all isomorphisms from…

A Sylow p-subgroup P of a finite group G is called redundant if every p-element of G lies in a Sylow subgroup different from P. Generalizing a recent theorem of Mar\'oti--Mart\'inez--Moret\'o, we show that for every non-cyclic p-group P…

In this paper, we consider the diagonal action of a connected semisimple group of adjoint type on its wonderful compactification. We show that the semi-stable locus is a union of the $G$-stable pieces and we calculate the geometric…

The critical group of a graph is a finite abelian group whose order is the number of spanning forests of the graph. For a graph G with a certain reflective symmetry, we generalize a result of Ciucu-Yan-Zhang factorizing the spanning tree…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $V$ a finite dimensional (non-zero) orthogonal $G$-module such that, for each prime $p$ dividing the order of $G$, the subspace of $V$ fixed by a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G$ is non-zero and, if the dimension of…

We give a computer-assisted proof that if $G$ is a finite group of order $8pq$, where $p$ and $q$ are distinct primes, then every connected Cayley graph on $G$ has a hamiltonian cycle.

Let G be a Lie group, $g = Lie(G)$ - its Lie algebra, $g*$ - the dual vector space and $\widehat G$ - the set of equivalence classes of unitary irreducible representations of $G$. The orbit method [1] establishes a correspondence between…

A digraph D is the pattern of a matrix M when D has an arc ij if and only if the ij-th entry of M is nonzero. Study the relationship between unitary matrices and their patterns is motivated by works in quantum chaology and quantum…

A quantum Latin square is an $n \times n$ array of unit vectors where each row and column forms an orthonormal basis of a fixed complex vector space. We introduce the notion of $(G,G')$-invariant quantum Latin squares for finite groups $G$…

For a graph $\Gamma=(V\Gamma,E\Gamma)$, a subset $D$ of $V\Gamma$ is a perfect code in $\Gamma$ if every vertex of $\Gamma$ is dominated by exactly one vertex in $D$. In this paper, we classify all connected quartic Cayley graphs on…
