A linear group G on a finite vector space V, (that is, a subgroup of GL(V)) is called (1/2)-transitive if all the G-orbits on the set of nonzero vectors have the same size. We complete the classification of all the (1/2)-transitive linear…

Given a permutation group $G$, the derangement graph of $G$ is defined with vertex set $G$, where two elements $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if $xy^{-1}$ is a derangement. We establish that, if $G$ is transitive with degree exceeding…

The intersection graph of a group $G$ is an undirected graph without loops and multiple edges defined as follows: the vertex set is the set of all proper non-trivial subgroups of $G$, and there is an edge between two distinct vertices $H$…

Given a graph $G$, a subset $M$ of $V(G)$ is a module of $G$ if for each $v\in V(G)\setminus M$, $v$ is adjacent to all the elements of $M$ or to none of them. For instance, $V(G)$, $\emptyset$ and $\{v\}$ ($v\in V(G)$) are modules of $G$…

A set $A$ $t$-intersects a set $B$ if $A$ and $B$ have at least $t$ common elements. Families $\mathcal{A}_1, \mathcal{A}_2, \dots, \mathcal{A}_k$ of sets are cross-$t$-intersecting if, for every $i$ and $j$ in $\{1, 2, \dots, k\}$ with $i…

For a finite group $A$ with normal subgroup $G$, a subgroup $U$ of $G$ is an $A$-prime-power-covering subgroup if $U$ meets every $A$-conjugacy-class of elements of $G$ of prime power order. It is conjectured that $|G:U|$ is bounded by some…

Let $p$ be a prime and let $L$ be either the intransitive permutation group $C_p\times C_p$ of degree $2p$ or the transitive permutation group $C_p \wr C_2$ of degree $2p$. Let $\Gamma$ be a connected $G$-vertex-transitive and…

A transitive permutation group $G$ on a finite set $\Omega$ is said to be pre-primitive if every $G$-invariant partition of $\Omega$ is the orbit partition of a subgroup of $G$. It follows that pre-primitivity and quasiprimitivity are…

The commutativity degree of a finite group is the probability that two randomly chosen group elements commute. The main object of this paper is to obtain a characterization for all finite groups of odd order with commutativity degree…

In this work, we analyze the behavior of statistical complexity in several systems where two identical densities that travel in opposite direction cross each other. The crossing between two Gaussian, rectangular and triangular densities is…

The early stages of heavy ion collisions are dominated by high density systems of gluons that carry each a small fraction $x$ of the momenta of the colliding nucleons. A distinguishing feature of such systems is the phenomenon of…

We show that if $h\in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ is a polynomial of degree $k \geq 2$ such that $h(\mathbb{N})$ contains a multiple of $q$ for every $q\in \mathbb{N}$, known as an $\textit{intersective polynomial}$, then any subset of $\{1,2,\dots,N\}$…

The commuting graph of a group $G$ is the graph whose vertices are the elements of $G$, two distinct vertices joined if they commute. Our purpose in this paper is twofold: we discuss the computational problem of deciding whether a given…

The covering number of a nontrivial finite group $G$, denoted $\sigma(G)$, is the smallest number of proper subgroups of $G$ whose set-theoretic union equals $G$. In this article, we focus on a dual problem to that of covering numbers of…

Let $G$ be a finite group, let $\pi(G)$ be the set of prime divisors of $|G|$ and let $\Gamma(G)$ be the prime graph of $G$. This graph has vertex set $\pi(G)$, and two vertices $r$ and $s$ are adjacent if and only if $G$ contains an…

Let $k$, $t$ and $m$ be positive integers. A $k$-multiset of $[m]$ is a collection of $k$ elements of $[m]$ with repetition and without ordering. We use $\left(\binom {[m]}{k}\right)$ to denote all the $k$-multisets of $[m]$. Two multiset…

A group G is sharply 2-transitive if it admits a faithful permutation representation that is transitive and free on pairs of distinct points. Conjecturally, for all such groups there exists a near-field N (i.e. a skew field that is…

The motion of a graph is the minimum number of vertices that are moved by a non-trivial automorphism. Equivalently, it can be defined as the minimal degree of its automorphism group (as a permutation group on the vertices). In this paper we…

A permutation in a digraph $G=(V, E)$ is a bijection $f:V \rightarrow V$ such that for all $v \in V$ we either have that $f$ fixes $v$ or $(v, f(v)) \in E$. A derangement in $G$ is a permutation that does not fix any vertex. In [1] it is…

Let X be a non-empty finite set, E be a finite dimensional euclidean vector space and G a finite subgroup of O(E), the orthognal group of E. Suppose GG={U_i | i in X} is a finite set of linear lines in E and an orbit of G on which its…
