A partial group with $n+1$ elements is, when regarded as a symmetric simplicial set, of dimension at most $n$. This dimension is $n$ if and only if the partial group is a group. As a consequence of the first statement, finite partial groups…
A $\Gamma$-distance magic labeling of a graph $G=(V,E)$ with $|V | = n$ is a bijection $\ell$ from $V$ to an Abelian group $\Gamma$ of order $n$ such that the weight $w(x)=\sum_{y\in N_G(x)}\ell(y)$ of every vertex $x \in V$ is equal to the…
We classify an algebraic phenomenon on certain families of wreath products that can be seen as coming from a family of puzzles about switches on the corners of a spinning table. Such puzzles have been written about and generalized since…
In this expository article intended to be accessible to undergraduate students we introduce a finite abelian group that can be associated to any finite connected graph. This group can be defined in an elementary combinatorial way in terms…
The critical group of a graph is a finite abelian group whose order is the number of spanning forests of the graph. For a graph G with a certain reflective symmetry, we generalize a result of Ciucu-Yan-Zhang factorizing the spanning tree…
For an Abelian group $G$, any homomorphism $\mu\colon G\otimes G\rightarrow G$ is called a \textsf{multiplication} on $G$. The set $\text{Mult}\,G$ of all multiplications on an Abelian group $G$ itself is an Abelian group with respect to…
A digraph is called an $n$-Cayley digraph if its automorphism group has an $n$-orbit semiregular subgroup. We determine the splitting fields of $n$-Cayley digraphs over abelian groups and compute a bound on their algebraic degrees, before…
We give a classification and complete algebraic description of groups allowing only finitely many (left multiplication invariant) circular orders. In particular, they are all solvable groups with a specific semi-direct product…
In this paper, we provide new criteria for the solvability and supersolvability of a finite group based on its number of cyclic subgroups. A finite group G is called n-cyclic if it contains n cyclic subgroups. This paper also partially…
The commuting graph of a non-abelian group is a simple graph in which the vertices are the non-central elements of the group, and two distinct vertices are adjacent if and only if they commute. In this paper, we classify (up to isomorphism)…
We define and investigate the property of being `exponent-critical' for a finite group. A finite group is said to be exponent-critical if its exponent is not the least common multiple of the exponents of its proper non-abelian subgroups. We…
A $\Gamma$-distance magic labeling of a graph $G=(V,E)$ with $|V | = n$ is a bijection $f$ from $V$ to an Abelian group $\Gamma$ of order $n$ such that the weight $w(x)=\sum_{y\in N_G(x)}f(y)$ of every vertex $x \in V$ is equal to the same…
This paper aims to systematically study mystic reflection groups that emerged independently in the paper [Selecta Math. (N.S.) 14 (2009), 325-372, arXiv:0806.0867] by the authors and in the paper [Algebr. Represent. Theory 13 (2010),…
A proof that there is no $3 \times 3$ magic square constructed with nine distinct square numbers is given.
We show that the Schur multiplier of a Noetherian group need not be finitely generated. We prove that the non-abelian tensor product of a polycyclic (resp. polycyclic-by-finite) group and a Noetherian group, is a polycyclic (resp.…
A finite group $G$ is a called a DCI-group if any two isomorphic Cayley digraphs of $G$ are also isomorphic via an automorphism of $G$. If $G$ is a non-abelian generalised dihedral DCI-group, then Dobson, Muzychuk, and Spiga proved that $G$…
In the theory of Clebsch-Gordan coefficients, one may recognize the domain space as the set of weakly semi-magic squares of size three. Two partitions on this set are considered: a triangle-hexagon model based on top lines, and one based on…
A full characterization of when a subgroup $H$ of a group $G$ in a varietal product ${\cal NQ}$ is epimorphically embedded in $G$ (in the variety ${\cal NQ}$) is given. From this, a result of S.~McKay is derived, which states that if ${\cal…
It is well-known that if we gauge a $\mathbb{Z}_n$ symmetry in two dimensions, a dual $\mathbb{Z}_n$ symmetry appears, such that re-gauging this dual $\mathbb{Z}_n$ symmetry leads back to the original theory. We describe how this can be…
Tarnauceanu [Archiv der Mathematik, 102 (1), (2014), 11--14] gave a characterisation of elementary abelian $2$-groups in terms of their maximal sum-free sets. His theorem states that a finite group $G$ is an elementary abelian $2$-group if…
