Given a singular modulus $j_0$ and a set of rational primes $S$, we study the problem of effectively determining the set of singular moduli $j$ such that $j-j_0$ is an $S$-unit. For every $j_0 \neq 0$, we provide an effective way of finding…
Let $G$ be a finite group and let $p$ be a prime. In this paper, we study the structure of finite groups with a large number of $p$-regular conjugacy classes or, equivalently, a large number of irreducible $p$-modular representations. We…
Recently Yu. Bilu, P. Habegger and L. K\"uhne proved that no singular modulus can be a unit in the ring of algebraic integers. In this paper we study for which sets S of prime numbers there is no singular modulus that is an S-units. Here we…
In this paper we investigate the structure of finite $p$-groups with the property that every subgroup of index $p^i$ is powerful for some $i$. For odd primes $p$, we show that under certain conditions these groups must be potent. Then,…
In 1995, Isaacs, Kantor and Spaltenstein proved that for a finite simple classical group G defined over a field with q elements, and for a prime divisor p of |G| distinct from the characteristic, the proportion of p-singular elements in G…
In recent literature, moonshine has been explored for some groups beyond the Monster, for example the sporadic O'Nan and Thompson groups. This collection of examples may suggest that moonshine is a rare phenomenon, but a fundamental and…
We present a modular function-based approach to explaining, for primes larger than 3, the exponents that appear in the prime decomposition of the order of the monster finite simple group.
The set of prime numbers $p$ such that the supersingular $j$-invariants in characteristic $p$ are all contained in the prime field is finite. And it is well known that this set of primes coincides with the set of prime divisors of the order…
In 2000, L. H\'{e}thelyi and B. K\"{u}lshammer proved that if $p$ is a prime number dividing the order of a finite solvable group $G$, then $G$ has at least $2\sqrt{p-1}$ conjugacy classes. In this paper we show that if $p$ is large, the…
This article is an overview of Zagier's and Kim's work on traces of singular moduli. We give more detailed or new proofs to some of their results and also describe some algorithms to compute spaces of Jacobi forms and weight $3/2$ modular…
We prove that only finitely many $j$-invariants of elliptic curves with complex multiplication are algebraic units. A rephrased and generalized version of this result resembles Siegel's Theorem on integral points of algebraic curves.
Let $G= SL_{n+1}$ be defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p > 2$. For each $n \geq 1$ there exists a singular block in the category of $G_1$-modules which contains precisely $n+1$ irreducible modules. We are…
If V is a finitely generated variety such that the first-order theory of the finite members of V is decidable, we show that V is residually finite, and in fact has a finite bound on the sizes of subdirectly irreducible algebras. This result…
In this note, we give a nature action of the modular group on the ends of the infinite (p + 1)-cayley tree, for each prime p. We show that there is a unique invariant probability measure for each p.
In this study, all rings are commutative with non-zero identity and all modules are considered to be unital. Let $M$ be a left $R$-module. A proper submodule $N$ of $M$ is called an $S$-$weakly$ $prime$ submodule if $0_{M}\neq f(m)\in N$…
Let $p$ be a prime number and suppose that every maximal subgroup of a finite group is either $p$-nilpotent or has prime index. Such group need not be $p$-solvable, and we study its structure by proving that only one nonabelian simple group…
We propose upper bounds for the number of modular constituents of the restriction modulo $p$ of a complex irreducible character of a finite group, and for its decomposition numbers, in certain cases.
We study the maximum modulus set, $\mathcal{M}(p)$, of a polynomial $p$. We are interested in constructing $p$ so that $\mathcal{M}(p)$ has certain exceptional features. Jassim and London gave a cubic polynomial $p$ such that…
Let $n \in \mathbb{Z}_{>0}$. We prove that there exist a finite set $V$ and finitely many algebraic curves $T_1, \ldots, T_k$ with the following property: if $(x_1, \ldots, x_n, y)$ is an $(n+1)$-tuple of pairwise distinct singular moduli…
We continue the study of the structure of general subgroups (in particular maximal subgroups, also known as group $\mathcal{H}$-classes) of special inverse monoids. Recent research of the authors has established that these can be quite…
