This paper presents a characterization of edge-transitive graphs which are four regular and have girth four. This class consists of four infinite families plus four exceptional graphs.

Semi-direct products of finite groups have permutation representations that are constructed from the permutation representations of their constituents. One can envision these in a metaphoric sense in which a rope is made from a bundle of…

The subdegrees of a transitive permutation group are the orbit lengths of a point stabilizer. For a finite primitive permutation group which is not cyclic of prime order, the largest subdegree shares a non-trivial common factor with each…

In this paper we determine automorphism groups of cyclic algebraic curves defined over finite fields of any characteristic.

Computations in the cohomology of finite groups.

It is known that the notion of a transitive subgroup of a permutation group $G$ extends naturally to subsets of $G$. We consider subsets of the general linear group $\operatorname{GL}(n,q)$ acting transitively on flag-like structures, which…

We consider a constructive modification of quantum-mechanical formalism. Replacement of a general unitary group by unitary representations of finite groups makes it possible to reproduce quantum formalism without loss of its empirical…

We introduce the notion of a transformation digroup and prove that every digroup is isomorphic to a transformation digroup.

We determine the quantum automorphism groups of finite graphs. These are quantum subgroups of the quantum permutation groups defined by Wang. The quantum automorphism group is a stronger invariant for finite graphs than the usual one. We…

Given a subgroup H of a finite group G, we begin a systematic study of the partial representations of G that restrict to global representations of H. After adapting several results from [DEP00] (which correspond to the case where H is…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ denote the finite fields with $q$ elements. The permutation behavior of several classes of infinite families of permutation polynomials over finite fields have been studied in recent years. In this paper, we continue with…

Let $H$ be a subgroup of a group $G$. The permutizer $P_G(H)$ is the subgroup generated by all cyclic subgroups of $G$ which permute with $H$. A subgroup $H$ of a group $G$ is strongly permutable in $G$ if $P_U(H)=U$ for every subgroup $U$…

It is shown, from $\sigma$-centered Martin's Axiom, that there exists a proper dense subgroup of the symmetric group on a countably infinite set whose natural action on sufficiently flexible relational structures is transitive. This allows…

The existence of invariant transversals for a normal subgroup $H$ in a group $G$ is investigated. This yields counterexamples to a conjecture in case $H$ is abelian and $G$ is finite.

A finite transitive permutation group is said to be 3/2-transitive if all the nontrivial orbits of a point stabilizer have the same size greater than 1. Examples include the 2-transitive groups, Frobenius groups and several other less…

The commuting graph ${\Gamma(G)}$ of a group $G$ is the simple undirected graph with group elements as a vertex set and two elements $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if $xy=yx$ in $G$. By eliminating the identity element of $G$ and all…

The permutation group $S_N$ has a quantum analogue $S_N^+$, which is infinite at $N\geq4$. We review the known facts regarding $S_N^+$, and notably its easiness property, Weingarten calculus, and the isomorphism $S_4^+=SO_3^{-1}$ and its…

We establish basic results on subrings of finite commutative rings and closely related rings. Among other applications we calculate the number of maximal subrings of a finite commutative local ring.

In this article we present an extensive survey on the developments in the theory of non-abelian finite groups with abelian automorphism groups, and pose some problems and further research directions.

A finite non-abelian group $G$ is called commuting integral if the commuting graph of $G$ is integral. In this paper, we show that a finite group is commuting integral if its central factor is isomorphic to ${\mathbb{Z}}_p \times…
