Let $G$ be a finite group and $p$ be a prime. We study the kernel of the map, between the Burnside ring of $G$ and the Grothendieck ring of $\mathbb{F}_p[G]$-modules, taking a $G$-set to its associated permutation module. We are able, for…

We study the representation theory of the symmetric group $S_n$ in positive characteristic $p$. Using features of the LLT-algorithm we give a conjectural description of the projective cover $P(\lambda)$ of the simple module $D(\lambda)$…

Let p be prime. A noncommutative p-solenoid is the C*-algebra of Z[1/p] x Z[1/p] twisted by a multiplier of that group, where Z[1/p] is the additive subgroup of the field Q of rational numbers whose denominators are powers of p. In this…

Let $K/k$ be a finite Galois extension and $\pi = \fn{Gal}(K/k)$. An algebraic torus $T$ defined over $k$ is called a $\pi$-torus if $T\times_{\fn{Spec}(k)} \fn{Spec}(K)\simeq \bm{G}_{m,K}^n$ for some integer $n$. The set of all algebraic…

For a complex number $x$, $\Vert x\Vert:=\min\{|x-m|:m\in\mathbb{Z}\}$. Let $k\geq 1$ be an integer, and $K$ be a number field. Let $\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_k$ be algebraic numbers with $|\alpha_i|\geq 1$ and let $d_i$ denotes the degree of…

Let $\Lambda<SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ be a finitely generated, non-elementary Fuchsian group of the second kind, and $v, w$ be two primitive vectors in $\mathbb{Z}^2-(0,0)$. We consider the set $\mathcal{S}=\{\langle…

We extend Theorem 1 of R. Reams, A Galois approach to m-th roots of matrices with rational entries, LAA 258 (1997), 187-194. Let $p(\lambda)$ be any polynomial over $\mathbb{Q}$ and let $A\in M_n(\mathbb{Q})$ have irreducible characteristic…

We study the rational torsion subgroup of the modular Jacobian $J_0(N)$ for $N$ a square-free integer. We give a new proof of a result of Ohta on a generalization of Ogg's conjecture: for a prime number $p \nmid 6N$, the $p$-primary part of…

In this thesis, we develop algorithms similar to the Gaussian elimination algorithm in symplectic and split orthogonal similitude groups. As an application to this algorithm, we compute the spinor norm for split orthogonal groups. Also, we…

Let $p$ be an irregular prime and $K=\Q(\zeta)$ the $p$-cyclotomic field. Let $\sigma$ be a $\Q$-isomorphism of $K$ generating $Gal(K/\Q)$. Let $S/K$ be a cyclic unramified extension of degree $p$, defined by $S= K(A^{1/p})$ where $A\in…

Let $G$ be a finite group. Let $K/k$ be a Galois extension of number fields with Galois group isomorphic to $G$, and let $C \subseteq \mathrm{Gal}(K/k) \simeq G$ be a conjugacy invariant subset. It is well known that there exists an…

We derive exact formulas for the proportions of derangements and of derangements of $p$-power order in the affine classical groups $AU_m(q)$, $ASp_{2m}(q)$, $AO_{2m+1}(q)$ and $AO^{\pm}_{2m}(q)$, where $p$ denotes the characteristic of the…

Let $p$ be a prime number. We say that a positive integer $n$ is a Sylow $p$-number if there exists a finite group having exactly $n$ Sylow $p$-subgroups. When $p=2$, every odd integer is a Sylow $2$-number. In contrast, when $p$ is odd,…

The classical Stern sequence of positive integers was extended to a polynomial sequence $S_n(\lambda)$ by Klav\v{z}ar et. al. by defining $S_0(\lambda) = 0$, $S_1(\lambda) = 1$, and $$S_{2n}(\lambda) = \lambda S_n(\lambda),\quad…

In this article we show that if ${\cal V}$ is the variety of polynilpotent groups of class row $(c_1,c_2,...,c_s),\ {\mathcal N}_{c_1,c_2,...,c_s}$, and $G\cong{\bf {Z}}_{p^{\alpha_1}}\stackrel{n}{*}{\bf…

In 2003, H\'{e}thelyi and K\"{u}lshammer proposed that if $G$ is a finite group and $p$ is a prime dividing the group order, then $k(G)\geq 2\sqrt{p-1}$, and they proved this conjecture for solvable $G$ and showed that it is sharp for those…

We prove Conjecture 5.7 in [arXiv:1409.2532], describing all inclusions between primitive ideals for the general linear superalgebra in terms of the Ext1-quiver of simple highest weight modules. For arbitrary basic classical Lie…

Although squaring integers is deterministic, squares modulo a prime, $p$, appear to be random. First, because they are all generated by the multiplicative linear congruential equation, $x_{i+1} = g^2 x_i \mod p$, where $x_0 = 1$ and $g$ is…

We introduce a new family of C_2-cofinite N=1 vertex operator superalgebras SW(m), $m \geq 1$, which are natural super analogs of the triplet vertex algebra family W(p), $p \geq 2$, important in logarithmic conformal field theory. We…

For a prime number $p$ and a free profinite group $S$, let $S^{(n,p)}$ be the $n$th term of its lower $p$-central filtration, and $S^{[n,p]}$ the corresponding quotient. Using tools from the combinatorics of words, we construct a canonical…
