We examine which $p$-groups of order $\le p^6$ are Beauville. We completely classify them for groups of order $\le p^4$. We also show that the proportion of 2-generated groups of order $p^5$ which are Beauville tends to 1 as $p$ tends to…

We focus on rational solutions or nearly-feasible rational solutions that serve as certificates of feasibility for polynomial optimization problems. We show that, under some separability conditions, certain cubic polynomially constrained…

For all prime powers q we restrict the unipotent characters of the special orthogonal groups SO_5(q) and SO_7(q) to a maximal parabolic subgroup. We determine all irreducible constituents of these restrictions for SO_5(q) and a large part…

We are studying the degrees in which a computable structure is relatively computably categoricity, i.e., computably categorcial among all non-computable copies of the structure. Unlike the degrees of computable categoricity we can bound the…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $p$ be a prime. We prove that if $G$ has three codegrees, then $G$ is an $M$-group. We prove for some prime $p$ that if every irreducible Brauer character of $G$ is a prime, then for every normal subgroup $N$…

Let $G$ be a finite group. The bipartite divisor graph for the set of irreducible complex character degrees is the undirected graph with vertex set consisting of the prime numbers dividing some character degree and of the non-identity…

For an irreducible character $\chi$ of a finite group $G$, its kernel is defined as $\text{ker }\chi=\{g\in G: \chi(g)=\chi(1)\}$. In this paper we characterize the finite groups of prime power order(for odd prime) in which kernels of all…

We present an explicit formula for subregular characters (i.e, irreducible finite-dimensional complex characters of submaximal degree) of the unitriangular group over a finite field of sufficiently large characteristic.

Let p be a prime. Every finite group G has a normal series each of whose quotients either is p-soluble or is a direct product of nonabelian simple groups of orders divisible by p. The non-p-soluble length of G is defined as the minimal…

In previous articles, we classified the characters associated to algebraic points on Shimura curves of $\Gamma_0(p)$-type, and over number fields in a certain large class we showed that there are at most elliptic points on such a Shimura…

Linckelmann and Murphy have classified the Morita equivalence classes of p-blocks of finite groups whose basic algebra has dimension at most 12. We extend their classification to dimension 13 and 14. As predicted by Donovan's Conjecture, we…

In this paper we describe some properties of groups $G$ that contain a solvable subgroup of finite prime-power index (Theorem 1 and Corollaries 2--3). We prove that if $G$ is a non-solvable group that contains a solvable subgroup of index…

In this paper we construct examples of p-groups with derived length three and three character degrees.

We give bounds for the number and the size of the primes $p$ such that a reduction modulo $p$ of a system of multivariate polynomials over the integers with a finite number $T$ of complex zeros, does not have exactly $T$ zeros over the…

In this paper, we get the sharp bound for $|G/O_p(G)|_p$ under the assumption that either $p^2 \nmid \chi(1)$ for all $\chi \in {\rm Irr}(G)$ or $p^2 \nmid \phi(1)$ for all $\phi \in {\rm IBr}_p(G)$. This would settle two conjectures raised…

Let \(G\) be a finite group, and let \(\Delta(G)\) denote the \emph{prime graph} built on the set of degrees of the irreducible complex characters of \(G\). It is well known that, whenever \(\Delta(G)\) is connected, the diameter of…

Let $A$ and $G$ be finite groups such that $A$ acts coprimely on $G$ by automorphisms. For any fixed prime divisor $p$ of $|G|$, we provide a complete characterization of the structure of a group $G$ in which every maximal $A$-invariant…

Let f be a degree d polynomial defined over the nonarchimedean field C_p, normalized so f is monic and f(0)=0. We say f is post-critically bounded, or PCB, if all of its critical points have bounded orbit under iteration of f. It is known…

Motivated by a recent result of Robinson showing that simple endotrivial modules essentially come from quasi-simple groups we classify such modules for finite special linear and unitary groups as well as for exceptional groups of Lie type.…

Many common finite p-groups admit automorphisms of order coprime to p, and when p is odd, it is reasonably difficult to find finite p-groups whose automorphism group is a p-group. Yet the goal of this paper is to prove that the automorphism…
