We show how to construct central and grouplike quantum determinants for FRT algebras A(R). As an application of the general construction we give a quantum determinant for the q-Lorentz group.

In this paper, we prove that for any odd prime $p$ and for any $p$-integer $\alpha $,we have $ \binom{\alpha p-1}{p-1}\equiv 1-\alpha (\alpha -1)(\alpha ^{2}-\alpha -1)p\sum_{k=1}^{p-1}\frac{1}{k}+\alpha ^{2} (\alpha-1)^{2}p^{2}\sum_{1\leq…

Let $G$ be an elementary abelian $p$-group. In this paper, we calculate the $K_2$-groups of some quotient rings $\mathbb{Z}[G]/I$ for certain ideals $I \subseteq \mathbb{Z}[G]$ of finite $p$-power index. These results are established…

Let $k\ge 2$ and $\{L_n^{(k)}\}_{n\geq 2-k}$ be the sequence of $k$-Lucas numbers whose first $k$ terms are $0,\ldots,0,2,1$ and each term afterwards is the sum of the preceding $k$ terms. In this paper, we solve the Diophantine equation…

We obtain a complete description of the integer group determinants for SmallGroup(16,13), the central product of the dihedral group of order eight and cyclic group of order four. These values are the same as the integer group determinants…
