Let $d$ be an odd square-free integer, $m\geq 3$ any integer and $L_{m, d}:=\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_{2^m},\sqrt{d})$. In this paper, we shall determine all the fields $L_{m, d}$ having an odd class number. Furthermore, using the cyclotomic…
We say that $M$ and $S$ form a \textsl{splitting} of $G$ if every nonzero element $g$ of $G$ has a unique representation of the form $g=ms$ with $m\in M$ and $s\in S$, while $0$ has no such representation. The splitting is called {\it…
In this paper, we show that the group $\mathbb{Z}_p^5$ is a DCI-group for any odd prime $p,$ that is, two Cayley digraphs Cay$(\mathbb{Z}_p^5,S)$ and Cay$(\mathbb{Z}_p^5,T)$ are isomorphic if and only if $S=T^\varphi$ for some automorphism…
The isomorphism problem for digraphs is a fundamental problem in graph theory. This problem for Cayley digraphs has been extensively investigated over the last half a century. In this paper, we consider this problem for $m$-Cayley digraphs…
We give a simple proof of the well-known fact: any group of n elements is cyclic if and only if n and \phi(n) are coprime. This note is accessible for students familiar with permutations and basic number theory. No knowledge of abstract…
Let $\mathbb Z_n$ denote the cyclic group of order $n$. We show how the group determinant for $G= \mathbb Z_n \times H$ can be simply written in terms of the group determinant for $H$. We use this to get a complete description of the…
Let $G$ be a finite $p$-group and $\delta(G)$ denote the number of all non-cyclic subgroups of $G$. In this paper, an upper bound for $\delta(G)$ is obtained. Furthermore, we prove that $\delta(G)\leq \delta(M_p(1, 1, 1) \times…
We find a sufficient condition to establish that certain abelian groups are not CI-groups with respect to ternary relational structures, and then show that the groups $\Z_3\times\Z_2^2$, $\Z_7\times\Z_2^3$, and $\Z_5\times\Z_2^4$ satisfy…
For any positive integer $n$, let ${\rm C}_{n}$ be the cyclic group of order $n$. We determine all possible values of the integer group determinant of ${\rm C}_{4} \times {\rm C}_{2}^{2}$, which is the only unsolved abelian group of order…
Let $\phi(x) = x^d + c$ be an integral polynomial of degree at least 2, and consider the sequence $(\phi^n(0))_{n=0}^\infty$, which is the orbit of $0$ under iteration by $\phi$. Let $D_{d,c}$ denote the set of positive integers $n$ for…
A division ring $D$ is Amitsur-Small if for every $n$ and every maximal left ideal $I$ in $D[x_1,\dots,x_n]$, $I \cap D[x_1,\dots,x_{n-1}]$ is maximal in $D[x_1,\dots,x_{n-1}]$. The goal of this note is to prove that cyclic division…
Li and Praeger classified finite nonabelian simple groups, it has only one or two fusion classes of any certain value. As a by-product, they classified m-CI-groups, which is critical in the research of Cayley graphs. In the paper, we will…
Let $G$ be a group. The intersection graph of cyclic subgroups of $G$, denoted by $\mathscr I_c(G)$, is a graph having all the proper cyclic subgroups of $G$ as its vertices and two distinct vertices in $\mathscr I_c(G)$ are adjacent if and…
In this note, we classify all finite groups having exactly 6, 7 or 8 cyclic subgroups. This gives a partial answer to the open problem posed by Tarnauceanu (Amer. Math. Monthly, 122 (2015), 275-276). As a consequence of our results, we also…
We study a class $\mathfrak{M}$ of cyclically presented groups that includes both finite and infinite groups and is defined by a certain combinatorial condition on the defining relations. This class includes many finite metacyclic…
Let $n$ be a positive integer. Then cyclic group $Z_n$ of order $n$ is the only group of order $n$ iff g.c.d. $(n,\phi(n))=1$, where $\phi$ denotes the Euler-phi function. In this article we have given another proof of this result using the…
This work is meant to demonstrate new class of prime numbers -- cyclic prime numbers, that can be derived from any prime number at certain numeric systems. Cyclic prime numbers are also related to the cyclic numbers and full reptend prime…
Let $H$ be a subgroup of a group $G$. We say that $H$ satisfies the power condition with respect to $G$, or $H$ is a power subgroup of $G$, if there exists a non-negative integer $m$ such that $H=G^{m}=<g^{m} | g \in G >$. In this note, the…
We determine all triples $(a,b,n)$ of positive integers such that $a$ and $b$ are relatively prime and $n^k$ divides $a^n + b^n$ (respectively, $a^n - b^n$), when $k$ is the maximum of $a$ and $b$ (in fact, we answer a slightly more general…
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…
