Let $q$ be an even prime power and $m\geq2$ an integer. By $\mathbb{F}_q$, we denote the finite field of order $q$ and by $\mathbb{F}_{q^m}$ its extension degree $m$. In this paper we investigate the existence of a primitive normal pair…

The centrepiece of this paper is a normal form for primitive elements which facilitates the use of induction arguments to prove properties of primitive elements. The normal form arises from an elementary algorithm for constructing a…

Greg McShane introduced a remarkable identity for lengths of simple closed geodesics on the once punctured torus with a complete, finite volume hyperbolic structure. Bowditch later generalized this and gave sufficient conditions for the…

We obtain new variations of the original McShane identity for those SL(2,C)-representations of the once punctured torus group which satisfy the Bowditch conditions, and also for those fixed up to conjugacy by an Anosov mapping class of the…

In this paper we prove a new abstract stability result for perturbed saddle-point problems based on a norm fitting technique. We derive the stability condition according to Babuska's theory from a small inf-sup condition, similar to the…

By definition primitive and $2$-primitive elements of a finite field extension $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ have order $q^n-1$ and $(q^n-1)/2$, respectively. We have already shown that, with minor reservations, there exists a primitive element and a…

Let $w$ be a word in a free group. As was revealed by Magee and Puder in [arXiv:1802.04862], the stable commutator length (scl) of $w$, a well-known topological invariant, can also be defined in terms of certain stable Fourier coefficients…

An element $\alpha \in \mathbb F_{q^n}$ is \emph{normal} if $\mathcal{B} = \{\alpha, \alpha^q, \ldots, \alpha^{q^{n-1}}\}$ forms a basis of $\mathbb F_{q^n}$ as a vector space over $\mathbb F_{q}$; in this case, $\mathcal{B}$ is a normal…

We propose a quantitative notion of permutation stability for finitely generated groups. Our notion is related to, but distinct from, the ``stability rate'' introduced by Becker and Mosheiff (which is valid within the class of finitely…

Let $q$ be a prime power of a prime $p$, $n$ a positive integer and $\mathbb F_{q^n}$ the finite field with $q^n$ elements. The $k-$normal elements over finite fields were introduced and characterized by Huczynska et al (2013). Under the…

Let $r \geq 2$ be an integer, $q$ a prime power and $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ the finite field with $q$ elements. Consider the problem of showing existence of primitive elements in a subset $\mathcal{A} \subseteq \mathbb{F}_{q^r}$. We prove a sieve…

In 1989, Dicks and Dunwoody proved the Almost Stability Theorem, which has among its corollaries the Stallings-Swan theorem that groups of cohomological dimension one are free. In this article, we use a nestedness result of Bergman,…

Consider a finite primitive solvable group. We observe that a result of Y. Yang implies that there exist two points whose pointwise stabilizer has derived length at most $9$. We show that, if the group has odd cardinality, then there exist…

Consider the primitive equations on $\R^2\times (z_0,z_1)$ with initial data $a$ of the form $a=a_1+a_2$, where $a_1 \in BUC_\sigma(\R^2;L^1(z_0,z_1))$ and $a_2 \in L^\infty_\sigma(\R^2;L^1(z_0,z_1))$ and where $BUC_\sigma(L^1)$ and…

A new approach to superstability and finite time extinction of strongly continuous semigroups is presented, unifying known results and providing new criteria for these conditions to hold analogous to the well-known Pazy condition for…

We present several regularity results for a biological network formulation model originally introduced by D. Cai and D. Hu in {\it Phys. Rev. Lett.}, {\bf 111}(2013), 138701. A consequence of these result is that a stationary weak solution…

In this article, we establish a sufficient condition for the existence of primitive element $\alpha\in \Fm$ is such that $f(\alpha)$ is also primitive element of $\Fm$ and $Tr_{\Fm/\F}(\alpha)=\beta$, for any prescribed $\beta\in\F$, where…

We study conditions on a $C^*$-dynamical system $(A,G,\alpha)$ under which induction of primitive ideals (resp. irreducible representations) from stabilizers for the action of $G$ on the primitive ideal space $\Prim(A)$ give primitive…

Given a prime power $q$ and a positive integer $n$, let $\mathbb{F}_{q^{n}}$ denote the finite field with $q^n$ elements. Also let $a,b$ be arbitrary members of the ground field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$. We investigate the existence of a non-zero…

We prove that for any prime power $q\notin\{3,4,5\}$, the cubic extension $\mathbb{F}_{q^3}$ of the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ contains a primitive element $\xi$ such that $\xi+\xi^{-1}$ is also primitive, and…
