The Cauchy-Davenport theorem states that for any two nonempty subsets A and B of Z/pZ we have |A+B| >= min{p,|A|+|B|-1}, where A+B:={a+b (mod p) | a in A, b in B}. We generalize this result from Z/pZ to arbitrary finite (including…

A fundamental theorem of Katz \cite{Katz87} determines the differential Galois groups of rank $n$ connections on algebraic curves with slope $r/n$ at a singularity, where $\gcd(r,n)=1$. We extend this result to $G$-connections, where $G$ is…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $p$ a fixed prime divisor of $|G|$. Combining the nilpotence, the normality and the order of groups together, we prove that if every maximal subgroup of $G$ is nilpotent or normal or has $p'$-order, then (1)…

In this note, we continue to be interested in the relationship that connects the restricted distribution of finitude at the local level of intermediate fields of a purely inseparable extension $K/k$ to the absolute or global finitude of…

We prove that if G_P is a finitely constrained group of binary rooted tree automorphisms (a group binary tree subshift of finite type) defined by an essential pattern group P of pattern size d, d>1, and if G_P has maximal Hausdorff…

The main result of [4] is that all finitely presented groups of p-deficiency greater than one are p-large. Here we prove that groups with a finite presentation of p-deficiency one possess a finite index subgroup that surjects onto . This…

We contribute to the Malle conjecture on the number N (K, G, y) of finite Galois extensions E of some number field K of finite group G and of discriminant of norm |N K/Q (d E)| $\le$ y. We prove the lower bound part of the conjecture for…

Let $p$ be an odd prime number and $F$ a field containing a primitive $p$th root of unity. We prove a new restriction on the group-theoretic structure of the absolute Galois group $G_F$ of $F$. Namely, the third subgroup $G_F^{(3)}$ in the…

Given a prime number $p$, we consider the tower of finite fields $F_p=L_{-1}\subset L_0\subset L_1\subset\cdots$, where each step corresponds to an Artin-Schreier extension of degree $p$, so that for $i\geq 0$, $L_{i}=L_{i-1}[c_{i}]$, where…

We give sharp bounds in Breuillard, Green and Tao's finitary version of Gromov's theorem on groups with polynomial growth. Precisely, we show that for every non-negative integer d there exists $c=c(d)>0$ such that if $G$ is a group with…

In this paper we interpret the solutions to a particular Galois embedding problem over an extension K/F whose Galois group is a finite, cyclic p group in terms of certain Galois submodules within the parameterizing space of elementary…

In this paper, we give elementary proofs of the Restricted Burnside Problem and the Hughes Conjecture for finite $p$-groups with Hall's regular power structure property. Moreover, in this setting we determine an explicit bound on the order…

The problem of finding the largest finite group with a certain class number (number of conjugacy classes), $k(G)$, has been investigated by a number of researchers since the early 1900's and has been solved by computer for $k(G) \leq 9$.…

Let G be a finite group and let k be a positive integer. We examine the relationship between structural properties of G and the number of elements of G that are not kth powers in G. In particular, we examine a bound on |G| given by Lucido…

For a finite abelian group $G$ written additively, and a non-empty subset $A\subset [1,\exp(G)-1]$ the weighted Davenport Constant of $G$ with respect to the set $A$, denoted $D_A(G)$, is the least positive integer $k$ for which the…

In the present paper, we give a q-analogue of the Grothendieck conjecture on p-curvatures for q-difference equations defined over the field of rational function K(x), where K is a finite extension of a field of rational functions k(q), with…

We describe a construction that maps any connected graph G on three or more vertices into a larger graph, H(G), whose independence number is strictly smaller than its Lov\'asz number which is equal to its fractional packing number. The…

This is a companion paper to our previous work, where we proved the finiteness of the Tate-Shafarevich group for an arbitrary torus $T$ over a finitely generated field $K$ with respect to any divisorial set $V$ of places of $K$. Here, we…

Let p be a prime. Uniform pro-p groups play a central role in the theory of p-adic Lie groups. Indeed, a topological group admits the structure of a p-adic Lie group if and only if it contains an open pro-p subgroup which is uniform.…

We show that Wall's D(2) problem, the Realization problem and the Relation Gap problem could all be solved if it could be shown that the deficiency of a certain group is, as intuition would suggest, less than -1. Note the paper has been…
