The main results of this article concern the definition of a compactly supported cohomology class for the congruence group $\Gamma_0(p^n)$ with values in the second Milnor $K$-group (modulo 2-torsion) of the ring of $p$-integers of the…
Let $A_g$ be an abelian variety of dimension $g$ and $p$-rank $\lambda \leq 1$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. We compute the number of homomorphisms from $\pi_1^{\text{\'et}}(A_g,a)$ to $GL_n(\mathbb F_q)$,…
Consider a pseudo-$H$-space $E$ endowed with a separately continuous biadditive associative multiplication which induces a grading on $E$ with respect to an abelian group $G$. We call such a space a graded pseudo-$H$-ring and we show that…
Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>0. Let H be a supersingular p-divisible group over k of height 2d. We show that H is uniquely determined up to isomorphism by its truncation of level d (i.e., by H[p^d]). This…
We investigate small $p$-groups with cohomology rings of depth higher than predicted by Duflot's theorem. In these groups, a sampling would suggest several naive conjectures about the degrees of the additional regular sequence elements. We…
In this paper we prove that if there is a regular Paley type partial difference set in an Abelian group $G$ of order $v$, where $v=p_1^{2k_1}p_2^{2k_2}\cdots p_n^{2k_n}$, $n\ge 2$, $p_1$, $p_2$, $\cdots$, $p_n$ are distinct odd prime…
We use the Bateman--Horn Conjecture from number theory to give strong evidence of a positive answer to Peter Neumann's question, whether there are infinitely many simple groups of order a product of six primes. (Those with fewer than six…
For each simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ (excluding, for trivial reasons, type ${\sf C}$) we find the lowest possible degree of an invariant second-order PDE over the adjoint variety in $\mathbb{P}\mathfrak{g}$, a homogeneous contact…
Let $\mathfrak q$ be a Lie algebra over a field $\mathbb K$ and $p,\tilde p\in\mathbb K[t]$ two different normalised polynomials of degree at least 2. As vector spaces both quotient Lie algebras $\mathfrak q[t]/(p)$ and $\mathfrak…
We characterize finite $p$-groups $G$ of order up to $p^7$ for which the group of central automorphisms fixing the center element-wise is of minimum possibe order.
Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$ and suppose that $p$ is a very good prime for $G$. We prove that any maximal Lie subalgebra $M$ of $\mathfrak{g} = {\rm Lie}(G)$ with ${\rm…
The minimal degree of a permutation group $G$ is defined as the minimal number of non-fixed points of a non-trivial element of $G$. In this paper we show that if $G$ is a transitive permutation group of degree $n$ having no non-trivial…
The paper studies the question of existence of polynomials with given roots over associative non-commutative rings with identity. It is shown that in the case of an associative division ring for arbitrary n elements of this ring there…
Let G be a group of type FP_n and let p>1. In this paper we show that the reduced l^p-homology of G is dual to the reduced l^q-cohomology for \frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}=1. In our main theorem we show that for a group of type FP_n with a…
Using the fact that Hopf-Galois structures on separable extensions and skew bracoids are both intrinsically connected to transitive subgroups of the holomorph of a finite group, we present algorithms to classify and enumerate these objects…
We consider the quotient group $T(G)$ of the multiple holomorph by the holomorph of a finite $p$-group $G$ of class two for an odd prime $p$. By work of the first-named author, we know that $T(G)$ contains a cyclic subgroup of order…
We study the category of $\mathbf{P}$-equivariant modules over the infinite variable polynomial ring, where $\mathbf{P}$ denotes the subgroup of the infinite general linear group $\mathbf{GL}(\mathbf{C}^\infty)$ consisting of elements…
This first part of the paper describes the support of top graded local cohomology modules. As a corrolary one obtains a simple criteria for the vanishing of these modules and also the fact that they have finitely many minimal primes. The…
For a large prime $p$, and a polynomial $f$ over a finite field $F_p$ of $p$ elements, we obtain a lower bound on the size of the multiplicative subgroup of $F_p^*$ containing $H\ge 1$ consecutive values $f(x)$, $x = u+1, \ldots, u+H$,…
For an odd prime $p$, we realize the trivial representation of $\mathrm{GL}_2(\mathbb{Z}/p^n\mathbb{Z})$ on the free $\mathbb{Z}/p^n \mathbb{Z}$-module of rank one as a subquotient of a direct sum of symmetric power representations (twisted…
