The genus of a maximal curve over a finite field with r^2 elements is either g_0=r(r-1)/2 or less than or equal to g_1=(r-1)^2/4. Maximal curves with genus g_0 or g_1 have been characterized up to isomorphism. A natural genus to be studied…
We study the number of non-isomorphic functional graphs of affine-linear transformations from (\F_q)^n to itself, and we prove upper and lower bounds on this quantity for n large. As a corollary to our result, we prove bounds on the number…
Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field of order $q$ and $F=\mathbb{F}_q(x)$ the rational function field. In this paper, we give a characterization of the cyclotomic function fields $F(\Lambda_M)$ with modulus $M$, where $M \in…
We classify the parabolic unitals in regular nearfield planes of odd order $q^2$ whose linear collineation group has the maximal size of $q^3-q$. We also establish a number of more general results concerning parabolic unitals in regular…
We construct and study finitely presented groups with quadratic Dehn function (QD-groups) and present the following applications of the method developed in our recent papers. (1) The isomorphism problem is undecidable in the class of…
Let $a\geq 1$ and $n>1$ be odd integers. For a given prime $p$, we prove under certain conditions that the class groups of imaginary quadratic fields $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{a^2-4p^n})$ have a subgroup isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$. We…
Let $p$ be an odd prime, $q=p^e$, $e\ge 1$, and $\mathbb{F} = \mathbb{F_q}$ denote the finite field of $q$ elements. Let $f: \mathbb{F}^2\to \mathbb{F}$ and $g: \mathbb{F}^3\to \mathbb{F}$ be functions, and let $P$ and $L$ be two copies of…
The Modular Isomorphism Problem asks, if an isomorphism between modular group algebras of finite $p$-groups over a field $F$ implies an isomorphism of the group bases. We explore the differences of knowledge on the problem when $F$ is…
We provide non-isomorphic finite 2-groups which have isomorphic group algebras over any field of characteristic 2, thus settling the Modular Isomorphism Problem.
For $\mathrm{O}(\mathrm{q},k)$, the orthogonal group over a field $k$ of characteristic 2 with respect to a quadratic form $\mathrm{q}$, we discuss the isomorphism classes of fixed points of involutions. When the quadratic space is either…
Let $\mathcal{F}$ denote a singular holomorphic foliation on $\mathbb{P}^2$ having a finite automorphism group $\mbox{aut}(\mathcal{F})$. Fixed the degree of $\mathcal{F}$, we determine the maximal value that $|\mbox{aut}(\mathcal{F})|$ can…
Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ denote the finite fields with $q$ elements. The permutation behavior of several classes of infinite families of permutation polynomials over finite fields have been studied in recent years. In this paper, we continue with…
We determine the automorphism group for some well known constructions of finite semifields. In particular, we compute the automorphism group of Sandler's semifields and in certain cases the automorphism groups of the Hughes-Kleinfeld and…
To what extent does the maximal subfield spectrum of a division algebra determine the isomorphism class of that algebra? It has been shown that over some fields a quaternion division algebra's isomorphism class is largely if not entirely…
In [2], an exhaustive construction is achieved for the class of all 4-dimensional unital division algebras over finite fields of odd order, whose left nucleus is not minimal and whose automorphism group contains Klein's four-group. We…
In this paper we find a new lower bound on the number of imaginary quadratic extensions of the function field $\mathbb{F}_{q}(x)$ whose class groups have elements of a fixed odd order. More precisely, for $q$, a power of an odd prime, and…
We describe the isomorphism classes of infinite-dimensional graded Lie algebras of maximal class, generated by elements of weight one, over fields of odd characteristic.
We study a form of refined class number formula (resp. type number formula) for maximal orders in totally definite quaternion algebras over real quadratic fields, by taking into consideration the automorphism groups of right ideal classes…
We study functions from a unique factorization monoid to a field. The set of all such functions is a commutative ring isomorphic to a ring of formal power series over the field, with indeterminates indexed by the prime elements of the…
As a consequence of the classification of finite simple groups, the classification of permutation groups of prime degree is complete, apart from the question of when the natural degree $(q^n-1)/(q-1)$ of ${\rm L}_n(q)$ is prime. We present…
