We consider the integer group determinants for groups that are semidirect products of $\mathbb Z_p$ and $\mathbb Z_n$ with $p$ prime and $n\mid p-1$. We give a complete description of the integer group determinants for the general affine…

We consider the values taken by $n\times n$ circulant determinants with integer entries when $n$ is the product of two distinct odd primes $p,q$. These correspond to the integer group determinants for $\mathbb Z_{pq}$, the cyclic group of…

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a prime to be an integer group determinant for an arbitrary abelian $p$-group of the form ${\rm C}_{p} \times H$, where ${\rm C}_{p}$ is the cyclic group of order $p$. Also, we show that…

We obtain a complete description of the integer group determinants for $Q_{16},$ the dicyclic or generalized quaternion group of order 16.

Let N and p be two prime numbers > 3 such that p divides N-1. We estimate the p-rank of the class group of Q(N^(1/p)) in terms of the discrete logarithm, with values un F_p, of certain units. Using the Gross--Koblitz formula and identities…

In this paper, we give a refinement of a generalized Dedekind's theorem. In addition, we show that all possible values of integer group determinants of any group are also possible values of integer group determinants of its any abelian…

A group is said to be capable if it is the central factor of some group. In this paper, among other results we have characterized capable groups of order $p^2q$, for any distinct primes $p, q$, which extends Theorem 1.2 of S. Rashid, N. H.…

We obtain a complete description of the integer group determinants for $\mathbb Z_{18}$ (these are the $18\times18$ circulant determinants with integer entries) and $\mathbb Z_3 \times \mathbb Z_6$, the two abelian groups of order 18. This…

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…

We obtain a complete description of the integer group determinants for the non-abelian groups of order 18.

Let q be a power of a prime and n a positive integer. Let P(q) be a parabolic subgroup of the finite general linear group GL(n,q). We show that the number of P(q)-conjugacy classes in GL(n,q) is, as a function of q, a polynomial in q with…

Let k>1 be an integer and let p be a prime. We show that if $p^a\le k<2p^a$ or $k=p^aq+1$ (with 2q<p) for some a=1,2,..., then the set {\binom{n}{k}: n=0,1,2,...} is dense in the ring Z_p of p-adic integers, i.e., it contains a complete…

In the Hopf algebra GL_{p,q}(2) the determinant is central iff p=q. In this case we put determinant to be equal to 1 to get SL_q(2). In this paper I consider the case when p/q is a root of unity; and, consequently, a power of the…

We establish a congruence satisfied by the integer group determinants for the non-abelian Heisenberg group of order $p^3$. We characterize all determinant values coprime to $p$, give sharp divisibility conditions for multiples of $p$, and…

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…

Let $q$ be a prime power, and let $r=nk+1$ be a prime such that $r\nmid q$, where $n$ and $k$ are positive integers. Under a simple condition on $q$, $r$ and $k$, a Gauss period of type $(n,k)$ is a normal element of $\Bbb F_{q^n}$ over…

Denote the set of algebraic numbers as $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$ and the set of algebraic integers as $\overline{\mathbb{Z}}$. For $\gamma\in\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$, consider its irreducible polynomial in $\mathbb{Z}[x]$,…

Let $f(x)\in \mathbb{F}_q[x]$ be an irreducible polynomial of degree $m$ and exponent $e$, and $n$ be a positive integer such that $\nu_p(q-1)\ge \nu_{p}(e)+\nu_p(n)$ for all $p$ prime divisor of $n$. We show a fast algorithm to determine…

Let m be a positive integer and A an elementary abelian group of order q^r with r greater than or equal to 2 acting on a finite q'-group G. We show that if for some integer d such that 2^{d} is less than or equal to (r-1) the dth derived…

Let $q$ be a power of a prime $p$ and let $G$ be a completely reducible subgroup of $\mathrm{GL}(d,q)$. We prove that the number of composition factors of $G$ that have prime order $p$ is at most $(\varepsilon_q d-1)/(p-1)$, where…
