Let p be a fixed prime. An Abelian p-group is an Abelian group (not necessarily finitely generated) in which every element has for its order some power of p. The countable Abelian p-groups are classified by Ulm's theorem, and Khisamiev…
This article gives the proof of results announced in [J. Blanc, Finite Abelian subgroups of the Cremona group of the plane, C.R. Acad. Sci. Paris, S\'er. I 344 (2007), 21-26.] and some description of automorphisms of rational surfaces.…
We classify, up to isomorphism, the $\mathbb{Z}_pG$-modules of rank $1$ (i.e., the quotients of $\mathbb{Z}_pG$) for $G$ cyclic of order $p$, where $\mathbb{Z}_p$ is the ring of $p$-adic integers. This allows us in particular to determine…
The Cremona group $\mathrm{Bir}(\mathbb{P}^2_\mathbb{C})$ is the group of birational self-maps of $\mathbb{P}^2_\mathbb{C}$. Using the action of $\mathrm{Bir}(\mathbb{P}^2_\mathbb{C})$ on the Picard-Manin space of $\mathbb{P}^2_\mathbb{C}$…
Let $p$ be a prime. In this paper we classify the $p$-structure of those finite $p$-separable groups such that, given any three non-central conjugacy classes of $p$-regular elements, two of them necessarily have coprime lengths.
We classify finite $p$-groups, upto isoclinism, which have only two conjugacy class sizes $1$ and $p^3$. It turns out that the nilpotency class of such groups is $2$.
We classify all monomial planar Cremona maps by multidegree using recent methods developed by Aluffi. Following the main result, we prove several more properties of the set of these maps, and also extend the results to the more general…
This short note deals with the conjugacy classes of monomial birational maps in the $n$-dimensional Cremona group, $n\geq 2$.
In this paper we classify all maximal subgroups M of a nearly simple primitive rank 3 group G of type L=Omega_{2m+1}(3), m > 3; acting on an L-orbit E of non-singular points of the natural module for L such that 1_P^G <=1_M^G where P is a…
Extending earlier work of Guralnick and of Cai and Zhang, we classify the almost simple groups which have transitive permutation representations of prime power degree $p^k$, and those which have $p$-complements (stabilisers of order coprime…
Finite $p$-groups with a unique $\mathcal{A}_2$-subgroup are classified up to isomorphism. A problem proposed by Berkovich and Janko is solved.
We bound the indices of normal abelian subgroups in finite groups contained in the Cremona group of rank 2 over a field of odd characteristic.
We prove that, for any prime $p$, there are precisely $2p^4-p^3-p^2-3p-1$ medial quasigroups of order $p^2$, up to isomorphism.
Let $p$ be an odd prime, and let $S$ be a $p$-group with a unique elementary abelian subgroup $A$ of index $p$. We classify the simple fusion systems over all such groups $S$ in which $A$ is essential. The resulting list, which depends on…
We compute Euler characteristics of p-subgroup categories of finite groups
For any natural number $\ell $ and any prime $p\equiv 1 \pmod{4}$ not dividing $\ell $ there is a Hermitian modular form of arbitrary genus $n$ over $L:=\Q [\sqrt{-\ell}]$ that is congruent to 1 modulo $p$ which is a Hermitian theta series…
We study embeddings of symmetric groups to the space Cremona group.
In this paper, we show that Cremona groups are sofic. We actually introduce a quantitative notion of soficity, called sofic profile, and show that the group of birational transformations of a d-dimensional variety has sofic profile at most…
We notice that the class of nontrivial groups without proper subgroups of finite index is not elementary, because some groups in this class, such as $\mathbb Q*\mathbb Q$, have ultrapowers that map homomorphically onto $\mathbb Z/p\mathbb…
Recent results of Qu and Tuarnauceanu describe explicitly the finite p-groups which are not elementary abelian and have the property that the number of their subgroups is maximal among p-groups of a given order. We complement these results…
