Using the Polya Enumeration Theorem, we count with particular attention to C^3/Gamma up to C^6/Gamma, abelian orbifolds in various dimensions which are invariant under cycles of the permutation group S_D. This produces a collection of…

This is the second one in a series of papers classifying the factorizations of almost simple groups with nonsolvable factors. In this paper we deal with almost simple unitary groups.

This paper classifies the factorizations of almost simple groups with a factor having at least two nonsolvable composition factors. This together with a previous classification result of the authors reduces the factorization problem of…

Arithmetic properties of some families in $\frac{\mathbb{F}_l[x]}{\langle x^{p^sq^t}-1\rangle}$ are obtained by using the cyclotomic classes of order 2 with respect to $n=p^sq^t$, where $p\equiv3 \mathrm{mod} 4$,…

In this paper we consider two functions related to the arithmetic and geometric means of element orders of a finite group, showing that certain lower bounds on such functions strongly affect the group structure. In particular, for every…

A function $\mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{N}$ is near exponential if it is bounded above and below by functions of the form $2^{n^c}$ for some $c > 0$. In this article we develop tools to recognize the near exponential residual finiteness growth…

A certain family of orthogonal groups (called "Clifford groups" by G. E. Wall) has arisen in a variety of different contexts in recent years. These groups have a simple definition as the automorphism groups of certain generalized…

Let $C_n$, $Q_n$ and $D_n$ be the cyclic group, the quaternion group and the dihedral group of order $n$, respectively. The structures of the unit groups of the finite group algebras $FQ_{12}$ and $F(C_2 \times Q_{12})$ over a finite field…

In this paper we introduce and study the relative cyclic subgroup commutativity degrees of a finite group. We show that there is a finite group with $n$ such degrees for all $n \in \mathbb{N}^*\setminus \lbrace 2\rbrace$ and we indicate…

We characterize the possible groups $E(\mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z})$ arising from elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z}$ in terms of the groups $E(\mathbb{F}_p)$, with $p$ varying among the prime divisors of $N$. This classification is…

Given a point p of the topos of simplicial sets and the corresponding flat covariant functor F from the small category Delta to the category of sets, we determine the extensions of F to the cyclic category. We show that to each such cyclic…

We deduce the periodicity 8 for the type of $Pin$ and $Spin$ representations of the orthogonal groups $O(n)$ from simple combinatorial properties of the finite Clifford groups generated by the gamma matrices. We also include the case of…

Two criteria for a closed connected definite 4-manifold with infinite cyclic fundamental group to be TOP-split are given. One criterion extends a sufficient condition made in a previous paper. The result is equivalent to a purely algebraic…

Cyclic codes are an interesting type of linear codes and have applications in communication and storage systems due to their efficient encoding and decoding algorithms. They have been studied for decades and a lot of progress has been made.…

We build a new theory for analyzing the coefficients of any cyclotomic polynomial by considering it as a gcd of simpler polynomials. Using this theory, we generalize a result known as periodicity and provide two new families of flat…

Some new infinite families of simple, indecomposable $m$-factorizations of the complete multigraph $\lambda K_v$ are presented. Most of the constructions come from finite geometries.

(Strong) circular external difference families (which we denote as CEDFs and SCEDFs) can be used to construct nonmalleable threshold schemes. They are a variation of (strong) external difference families, which have been extensively studied…

In this paper we classify all the cyclic finite dimensional indecomposable\\ modules of the perfect Lie algebras $\mathfrak{sl}(n+1)\ltimes \mathbbm{C}^{n+1}$, given by the semidirect sum of the simple Lie algebra $A_n$ with its standard…

Irrespective of whether n is prime, prime power with exponent >1, or composite, the group U_n of units of Z_n can sometimes be obtained as the direct product of cyclic groups generated by x, x+k and x+2k, for x, k in Z_n. Indeed, for many…

This series of papers is a contribution to the program of classifying $p$-blocks of finite groups up to source algebra equivalence, starting with the case of cyclic blocks. To any $p$-block $\mathbf{B}$ of a finite group with cyclic defect…
