A finite group is called a CLT-group if it contains a subgroup corresponding to every divisor of the order of the group. It is said to be a Cyclic (Abelian) CLT group if it contains a cyclic (abelian) subgroup corresponding to every proper…

For every odd prime $p$ and every integer $n\geq 12$ there is a Heisenberg group of order $p^{5n/4+O(1)}$ that has $p^{n^2/24+O(n)}$ pairwise nonisomorphic quotients of order $p^{n}$. Yet, these quotients are virtually indistinguishable.…

An order is a commutative ring that as an abelian group is finitely generated and free. A commutative ring is reduced if it has no non-zero nilpotent elements. In this paper we use a new tool, namely, the fact that every reduced order has a…

Let $n$ be a positive integer and $G(n)$ denote the number of non-isomorphic finite groups of order $n$. It is well-known that $G(n) = 1$ if and only if $(n,\phi(n)) = 1$, where $\phi(n)$ and $(a, b)$ denote the Euler's totient function and…

We prove that for every compactum $X$ and every integer $n \geq 2$ there are a compactum $Z$ of $\dim \leq n+1$ and a surjective $UV^{n-1}$-map $r: Z \lo X$ such that for every abelian group $G$ and every integer $k \geq 2$ such that…

Generalising a previous result, we determine all non-abelian finite simple groups whose order has largest prime divisor not exceeding $10^4$. The computer code for this and similar calculations is made available.

We are interested in ordering the elements of a subset A of the non-zero integers modulo n in such a way that all the partial sums are distinct. We conjecture that this can always be done and we prove various partial results about this…

In this paper we explicitly determine all indicators for groups isomorphic to the semidirect product of two cyclic groups by an automorphism of prime order, as well as the generalized quaternion groups. We then compute the indicators for…

We study the cyclic $U(\mathfrak{gl}_n)$-module generated by the $l$-th power of the $\alpha$-determinant. When $l$ is a non-negative integer, for all but finite exceptional values of $alpha$, one shows that this cyclic module is isomorphic…

We consider a polynomial h(x,y) in two complex variables of degree n+1>1 with a generic higher homogeneous part. The rank of the first homology group of its nonsingular level curve h(x,y)=t is n*n. To each 1- form in the variable space and…

For every Turing machine, we construct an automaton group that simulates it. Precisely, starting from an initial configuration of the Turing machine, we explicitly construct an element of the group such that the Turing machine stops if, and…

We investigate to what extent a nilpotent Lie group is determined by its $C^*$-algebra. We prove that, within the class of exponential Lie groups, direct products of Heisenberg groups with abelian Lie groups are uniquely determined even by…

We prove by using simple number-theoretic arguments formulae concerning the number of elements of a fixed order and the number of cyclic subgroups of a direct product of several finite cyclic groups. We point out that certain multiplicative…

A subset of an abelian group is {\em sequenceable} if there is an ordering $(x_1, \ldots, x_k)$ of its elements such that the partial sums $(y_0, y_1, \ldots, y_k)$, given by $y_0 = 0$ and $y_i = \sum_{j=1}^i x_i$ for $1 \leq i \leq k$, are…

A finite group $G$ is called a Schur group, if any Schur ring over $G$ is associated in a natural way with a subgroup of $Sym(G)$ that contains all right translations. Recently, the authors have completely identified the cyclic Schur…

The exact value of the separating Noether number of some finite abelian groups is determined, including the direct sums of cyclic groups of the same order.

If V is a simple complex euclidean Jordan algebra and G the subgroup of GL(V) fixing the determinant of V, we give a unified description of the invariant algebras C[pV]^G, for p not greater than three.

Let $q$ be a power of a prime $p$, $G$ be a finite abelian group, where $p$ does not divide $|G|$,and let $n$ be a positive integer. In this paper we find a formula for the number of irreducible representations of $G$ of a given dimension…

A finite group $G$ is called a Schur group if any Schur ring over $G$ is associated in a natural way with a subgroup of $Sym(G)$ that contains all right translations. It is proved that the group $C_3\times C_3\times C_p$ is Schur for any…

We compute the ring of non-induced representations for a cyclic group, $C_n$, over an arbitrary field and show that it has rank $\varphi(n)$, where $\varphi$ is Euler's totient function - independent of the characteristic of the field.…
