We provide polynomial lower bounds for residual finiteness of residually finite, finitely generated solvable groups that admit infinite order elements in the Fitting subgroup of strict distortion at least exponential. For this class of…
We study orbit codes in the field extension ${\mathbb F}_{q^n}$. First we show that the automorphism group of a cyclic orbit code is contained in the normalizer of the Singer subgroup if the orbit is generated by a subspace that is not…
A matrix is said to be {\it cyclic} if its characteristic polynomial is equal to its minimal polynomial. Cyclic matrices play an important role in some algorithms for matrix group computation, such as the Cyclic Meataxe developed by P. M.…
We prove that for a suitably nice class of random substitutions, their corresponding subshifts have automorphism groups that contain an infinite simple subgroup and a copy of the automorphism group of a full shift. Hence, they are…
In this paper we describe a class of codes called {\it permutation codes}. This class of codes is a generalization of cyclic codes and quasi-cyclic codes. We also give some examples of optimal permutation codes over binary, ternary, and…
In this paper, we give conditions for the existence of Hermitian self-dual $\Theta-$cyclic and $\Theta-$negacyclic codes over the finite chain ring $\mathbb{F}_q+u\mathbb{F}_q$. By defining a Gray map from $R=\mathbb{F}_q+u\mathbb{F}_q$ to…
In this article, for the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, we show that the $\mathbb{F}_q$-algebra $\mathbb{F}_q[x]/\langle f(x) \rangle$ is isomorphic to the product ring $\mathbb{F}_q^{\deg f(x)}$ if and only if $f(x)$ splits over…
Recent classification of $\frac{3}{2}$-transitive permutation groups leaves us with three infinite families of groups which are neither $2$-transitive, nor Frobenius, nor one-dimensional affine. The groups of the first two families…
We investigate the notion of cyclicity for convolutional codes as it has been introduced by Piret and Roos in the seventies. Codes of this type are described as submodules of the module of all vector polynomials in one variable with some…
In the present paper, we study skew cyclic codes over the ring $F_{q}+vF_{q}+v^2F_{q}$, where $v^3=v,~q=p^m$ and $p$ is an odd prime. We investigate the structural properties of skew cyclic codes over $F_{q}+vF_{q}+v^2F_{q}$ using…
A cyclic codes of length $n$ over the rings $Z_{2^{m}}$ of integer of modulo $2^{m}$ is a linear code with property that if the codeword $(c_0,c_1,...,c_{n-1})\in \mathcal{C}$ then the cyclic shift $(c_1,c_2,...,c_0)\in \mathcal{C}$.…
A finite group $P$ is said to be \emph{primary} if $|P|=p^{a}$ for some prime $p$. We say a primary subgroup $P$ of a finite group $G$ satisfies the \emph{Frobenius normalizer condition} in $G$ if $N_{G}(P)/C_{G}(P)$ is a $p$-group provided…
In this paper convolutional codes with cyclic structure will be investigated. These codes can be understood as left principal ideals in a suitable skew-polynomial ring. It has been shown in [3] that only certain combinations of the…
The paper presents a comprehensive study of group codes from non-abelian split metacyclic group algebras. We derive an explicit Wedderburn-like decomposition of finite split metacyclic group algebras over fields with characteristic coprime…
A skew morphism of a finite group $G$ is an element $\varphi$ of $\mathrm{Sym}(G)$ preserving the identity element of $G$ and having the property that for each $a\in G$ there exists a non-negative integer $i_a$ such that…
We prove that the automorphism groups of simple polarized abelian varieties of odd prime dimension over finite fields are cyclic, and give a complete list of finite groups that can be realized as such automorphism groups.
Motivated by a problem from behavioral economics, we study subgroups of permutation groups that have a certain strong symmetry. Given a fixed permutation, consider the set of all permutations with disjoint inversion sets. The group is…
Codes which have a finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q^m}$ as their alphabet but which are only linear over a subfield $\mathbb{F}_q$ are a topic of much recent interest due to their utility in constructing quantum error correcting codes. In this…
In this article, we investigate properties of cyclic codes over a finite non-chain ring $\mathbb{F}_q+v\mathbb{F}_q+v^2\mathbb{F}_q+v^3\mathbb{F}_q+v^4\mathbb{F}_q,$ where $q=p^r,$ $r$ is a positive integer, $p$ is an odd prime, $4 \mid…
Using a result of Longo and Xu, we show that the anomaly arising from a cyclic permutation orbifold of order 3 of a holomorphic conformal net $\mathcal A$ with central charge $c=8k$ depends on the "gravitational anomaly" $k\pmod 3$. In…
