A graph is edge-transitive if its automorphism group acts transitively on the edge set. In this paper, we investigate the automorphism groups of edge-transitive graphs of odd order and twice prime valency. Let $\Gamma$ be a connected graph…

In this paper, we study 2-geodesic-transitive graphs of order twice an odd prime power. Classifications of corresponding basic graphs and such graphs with almost simple automorphism groups are given, and a reduction theorem for general case…

We consider the capability of $p$ groups of class two and odd prime exponent. We use linear algebra and counting arguments to establish a number of new results. In particular, we settle the 4-generator case, and prove a sufficient condition…

A Kirkman Triple System $\Gamma$ is called $m$-pyramidal if there exists a subgroup $G$ of the automorphism group of $\Gamma$ that fixes $m$ points and acts regularly on the other points. Such group $G$ admits a unique conjugacy class $C$…

The strong isomorphism classes of extensions of finite groups are parametrized by orbits of a prescribed action on the second cohomology group. We study these orbits in the case of extensions of a finite abelian $p$-group by a cyclic factor…

We study stable curves of arithmetic genus 2 which admit two morphisms of finite degree $p$, resp. $d$, onto smooth elliptic curves, with particular attention to the case $p$ prime.

We study a large family of generalized class groups of imaginary quadratic orders $O$ and prove that they act freely and (essentially) transitively on the set of primitively $O$-oriented elliptic curves over a field $k$ (assuming this set…

Let $p$ be a prime and $G$ a subgroup of $GL_d(p)$. We define $G$ to be $p$-exceptional if it has order divisible by $p$, but all its orbits on vectors have size coprime to $p$. We obtain a classification of $p$-exceptional linear groups.…

In a paper with Menasco-Nieland, the first author constructed factorially many origamis in the minimal stratum of the moduli space of translation surfaces having simultaneously a single vertical cylinder and a single horizontal cylinder.…

The genus spectrum of a finite group $G$ is a set of integers $g \geq 2$ such that $G$ acts on a closed orientable compact surface $\Sigma_g$ of genus $g$ preserving the orientation. In this paper we complete the study of spectrum sets of…

For odd primes we prove some structure theorems for finite $p$-groups $G$, such that $G''\neq 1$ and $|G'/G''|=p^3$. Building on results of Blackburn and Hall, it is shown that $\lcs G3$ is a maximal subgroup of $G'$, the group $G$ has a…

This note collects several results on the capability of $p$-groups of class two and prime exponent. Among the new results, we settle the 4-generator case for this class.

We classify compact Riemann surfaces of genus $g$, where $g-1$ is a prime $p$, which have a group of automorphisms of order $\rho(g-1)$ for some integer $\rho\ge 1$, and determine isogeny decompositions of the corresponding Jacobian…

Let $G$ be a transitive permutation group of degree $n$. We say that $G$ is $2'$-elusive if $n$ is divisible by an odd prime, but $G$ does not contain a derangement of odd prime order. In this paper we study the structure of quasiprimitive…

Let G be the separable Galois group of a finite field F of characteristic p, and X/F an imaginary hyperelliptic curve such that G acts transitively on its set W(X) of Weierstrass points. The existence of a G-invariant 2-torsion point on the…

In this paper, we investigate the edge-coloring number of the power graph of a finite group. We characterize which finite groups have overfull power graphs, showing that this occurs if and only if the group is cyclic of odd prime power…

Let $G$ be a transitive permutation group on a finite set of size at least $2$. By a well known theorem of Fein, Kantor and Schacher, $G$ contains a derangement of prime power order. In this paper, we study the finite primitive permutation…

Motivated by a question in origami, we consider sets of points in the complex plane constructed in the following way. Let $L_\alpha(p)$ be the line in the complex plane through $p$ with angle $\alpha$ (with respect to the real axis). Given…

General concepts and strategies are developed for identifying the isomorphism type of the second p-class group \(G=Gal(F_p^2(K) | K)\), that is the Galois group of the second Hilbert p-class field \(F_p^2(K)\), of a number field K, for a…

In this article we provide a classification and description of compact Riemann surfaces admitting a triangular action of a group of order $2p^2,$ where $p$ is an odd prime number. We obtain that all such Riemann surfaces are isomorphic to…
