We show that, if $\Gamma$ is a point group of $\mathbb{R}^{k+1}$ of order two for some $k\geq 2$ and $\mathcal S$ is a $k$-pseudomanifold which has a free automorphism of order two, then either $\mathcal S$ has a $\Gamma$-symmetric…

If $\Lambda $ is an indecomposable, non maximal, symmetric order, then the idealizer of the radical $\Gamma := \Id(J(\Lambda)) = J(\Lambda)^{#} $ is the dual of the radical. If $\Gamma $ is hereditary then $\Lambda $ has a Brauer tree…

In this paper we use the Merkurjev-Suslin theorem to explore the structure of arithmetically significant Galois modules that arise from Kummer theory. Let K be a field of characteristic different from a prime \ell, n a positive integer, and…

This is an introduction to the group algebras of the symmetric groups, written for a quarter-long graduate course. After recalling the definition of group algebras (and monoid algebras) in general, as well as basic properties of…

Exotic group $C^*$-algebras are $C^*$-algebras that lie between the universal and the reduced group $C^*$-algebra of a locally compact group. We consider simple Lie groups $G$ with real rank one and investigate their exotic group…

Let $C \langle t_1, \dots t_l\rangle$ be the differential field generated by $l$ differential indeterminates $\boldsymbol{t}=(t_1, \dots ,t_l)$ over an algebraically closed field $C$ of characteristic zero. We develop a lower bound…

Let $\mathcal{P}$ be a chiral polytope with type $\{k_1, k_2\}$ and $G=Aut(\mathcal{P})$. Suppose $|G|=2p^m$, where $k_1, k_2\geq 3$ and $p$ is an odd prime. Let $P$ be a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G$. We prove that $G \cong P \rtimes…

We consider non-elementary representations of two generator free groups in $PSL(2,\mathbb{C})$, not necessarily discrete or free, $G = < A, B >$. A word in $A$ and $B$, $W(A,B)$, is a palindrome if it reads the same forwards and backwards.…

We show that any Lambda-ring, in the sense of Riemann-Roch theory, which is finite etale over the rational numbers and has an integral model as a Lambda-ring is contained in a product of cyclotomic fields. In fact, we show that the category…

We extend the result of Blumberg and Mandell on K-theoretic Tate-Poitou duality at odd primes which serves as a spectral refinement of the classical arithmetic Tate-Poitou duality. The duality is formulated for the $K(1)$-localized…

This paper is continuation of the paper "Primitive roots in quadratic field". We consider an analogue of Artin's primitive root conjecture for algebraic numbers which is not a unit in real quadratic fields. Given such an algebraic number,…

Let $p$ be a prime number, let $K$ be a $p$-field (a local field with finite residue field of characteristic $p$), let $L$ be a finite galoisian tamely ramified extension of $K$, and let $G=\mathrm{Gal}(L|K)$. Suppose that $L$ is split over…

There is a well-known factorization of the number $2^{2m}+1$, with $m$ odd, related to the orders of tori of simple Suzuki groups: $2^{2m}+1$ is a product of $a=2^m+2^{(m+1)/2}+1$ and $b=2^m-2^{(m+1)/2}+1$. By the Bang-Zsigmondy theorem,…

For a commutative finite $\mathbb{Z}$-algebra, i.e., for a commutative ring $R$ whose additive group is finitely generated, it is known that the group of units of $R$ is finitely generated, as well. Our main results are algorithms to…

Let $p$ be a prime. If an integer $g$ generates a subgroup of index $t$ in $(\mathbb Z/p\mathbb Z)^*,$ then we say that $g$ is a $t$-near primitive root modulo $p$. We point out the easy result that each primitive residue class contains a…

Let $G$ be a finite abelian group. 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.…

Let $G=\Sp(2g,\mathbb{Z})$ be the symplectic group over the integers. Given $m\in \mathbb{N}$, it is natural to ask if there exists a non-trivial matrix $A\in G$ such that $A^{m}=I$, where $I$ is the identity matrix in $G$. In this paper,…

Let $K$ be a field with a discrete valuation, and let $p$ be a prime. It is known that if $\Gamma \lhd \Gamma_0 < \mathrm{PGL}_2(K)$ is a Schottky group normally contained in a larger group which is generated by order-$p$ elements each…

For a finite Abelian group $(\Gamma,+)$, let $n(\Gamma)$ denote the smallest positive integer $n$ such that for each labelling of the arcs of the complete digraph of order $n$ using elements from $\Gamma$, there exists a directed cycle such…

Let $R$ be an affine algebra of dimension $d\geq 4$ over a perfect field $k$ of char $\neq 2$ and $I$ be an ideal of $R$. Then - Um$_{d+1}(R,I)/{\rm E}_{d+1}(R,I)$ has nice group structure if $c.d._2(k)\leq 2$. - Um$_d(R,I)/{\rm E}_d(R,I)$…
