Let $n$ be a prime or its square. We prove that the congruence subgroup $\Gamma_0(n)$ admits a free product decomposition into cyclic factors in such a way that the $(2,1)$-component of each cyclic generator is either $n$ or $0$, answering…

Consider any sequence of finite groups $A^t$, where $t$ takes values in an integer index set $\mathbf{Z}$. A group system $A$ is a set of sequences with components in $A^t$ that forms a group under componentwise addition in $A^t$, for each…

A group is called capable if it is a central factor group. For each prime $p$ and positive integer $c$, we prove the existence of a capable $p$-group of class $c$ minimally generated by an element of order $p$ and an element of order…

For a finite group $G$, let $a_n(G)$ be the number of subgroups of order $n$ and define $\zeta_G(s)=\sum_{n\ge 1} a_n(G)n^{-s}$. Examples are known of non-isomorphic finite groups with the same group zeta function. However, no general…

We consider an amalgam of groups constructed from fusion systems for different odd primes p and q. This amalgam contains a self-normalizing cyclic subgroup of order pq and isolated elements of order p and q.

Minimal prime graphs (MPGs) are a special class of prime graphs (also known as Gruenberg-Kegel graphs) associated with finite solvable groups. A graph is an MPG if it has at least two vertices, is connected, its complement is triangle-free…

A numerical semigroup $M$ is a subset of the non-negative integers that is closed under addition. A factorization of $n \in M$ is an expression of $n$ as a sum of generators of $M$, and the Graver basis of $M$ is a collection $Gr(M_t)$ of…

We characterize the algebraic structure of semi-direct product of cyclic groups, $\Z_{N}\rtimes\Z_{p}$, where $p$ is an odd prime number which does not divide $q-1$ for any prime factor $q$ of $N$, and provide a polynomial-time quantum…

For an odd prime p, we determine a minimal set of topological generators of the pro-p Iwahori subgroup of a split reductive group G over Z\_p. In the simple adjoint case and for any sufficiently large regular prime p, we also construct…

We introduce a general constructive method to find a p-basis (and the Ulm invariants) of a finite Abelian p-group M. This algorithm is based on Groebner bases theory. We apply this method to determine the additive structure of…

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…

Let $\mathfrak{g}'\subset \mathfrak{g}$ be the pair of Lie algebras of either symplectic or orthogonal infinitesimal endomorphisms of the complex vector spaces $\mathbb{C}^{N-2}\subset \mathbb{C}^N$ and $U_q(\mathfrak{g}')\subset…

Let $\mathrm{k}=\mathbb{Q}\left(\sqrt[3]{p},\zeta_3\right)$, where $p$ is a prime number such that $p \equiv 1 \pmod 9$, and let $C_{\mathrm{k},3}$ be the $3$-component of the class group of $\mathrm{k}$. In \cite{GERTH3}, Frank Gerth III…

The finite ring Z_k = Z(+,.) mod p^k of residue arithmetic with odd prime power modulus is analysed. The cyclic group of units G_k in Z_k(.) has order (p-1)p^{k-1}, implying product structure G_k = A_k B_k. Here core A_k of order p-1 is an…

We rephrase the Wootters-Fields construction [Ann. Phys., {\bf 191}, 363 (1989)] of a full set of mutually unbiased bases in a complex vector space of dimensions $N=p^r$, where $p$ is an odd prime, in terms of the character vectors of the…

Let $G$ be a finite cyclic group. Every sequence $S$ over $G$ can be written in the form $S=(n_1g)\cdot...\cdot(n_kg)$ where $g\in G$ and $n_1,\cdots,n_k\in[1,{\hbox{\rm ord}}(g)]$, and the index $\ind S$ of $S$ is defined to be the minimum…

For a finite group $G$, the vertices of the prime graph $\Gamma(G)$ are the primes that divide $|G|$, and two vertices $p$ and $q$ are connected by an edge if and only if there is an element of order $pq$ in $G$. Prime graphs of solvable…

In this paper we study algebraic and asymptotic properties of generating sets of algebras over orders in number fields. Let $A$ be an associative algebra over an order $R$ in an algebraic number field. We assume that $A$ is a free…

Suppose that $p$ is an odd prime and $g>1$ is a primitive root modulo $p$. Let $M$ be a number field contained in the $p$-th cyclotomic field. Girstmair found a surprising relation between the relative class number of $M$ and the digits of…

Quasi-polycyclic (QP for short) codes over a finite chain ring $R$ are a generalization of quasi-cyclic codes, and these codes can be viewed as an $R[x]$-submodule of $\mathcal{R}_m^{\ell}$, where $\mathcal{R}_m:= R[x]/\langle f\rangle$,…
