In this paper we constructs a new nontrivial family in the stable homotopy groups of spheres $\pi_{p^nq+2pq+q-3}S$ which is of order $p$ and is represented by $k_0h_{n} \in Ext_A^{3,p^nq+2pq+q}(\mathbb{Z}_p,\mathbb{Z}_p)$ in the Adams…

For an integer $m\geq 1$, a combinatorial manifold $\widetilde{M}$ is defined to be a geometrical object $\widetilde{M}$ such that for $\forall p\in\widetilde{M}$, there is a local chart $(U_p,\phi_p)$ enable $\phi_p:U_p\to…

Given a finite group $G$ of order $p^nm$, where $p$ is a prime and $p\nmid m$, we denote by $\psi_p(G)$ the sum of orders of $p$-parts of elements in $G$. In the current note, we prove that $\psi_p(G)\leq\psi_p(C_{p^nm})$, where $C_{p^nm}$…

Let $\mathcal{O}$ be a maximal order in the quaternion algebra over $\mathbb{Q}$ ramified at $p$ and $\infty$. We prove two theorems that allow us to recover the structure of $\mathcal{O}$ from limited information. The first says that for…

For each prime p, we exhibit pairs of p-groups all of whose integral cohomology groups are isomorphic. The method used involves very little calculation. The groups are exhibited as kernels of homomorphisms from a compact Lie group G to…

The goal of this paper is to lay the foundations for a combinatorial study, via orthogonal functions and intertwining operators, of category O for the rational Cherednik algebra of type G(r,p,n). As a first application, we give a…

We give a combinatorial description of general homotopy groups of $k$-dimensional spheres with $k\geq3$ as well as those of Moore spaces. For $n>k\geq 3,$ we construct a finitely generated group defined by explicit generators and relations,…

We present an algebraic study of a kind of quantum systems belonging to a family of superintegrable Hamiltonian systems in terms of shape-invariant intertwinig operators, that span pairs of Lie algebras like $(su(n),so(2n))$ or…

The class of abelian $p$-groups are an example of some very interesting phenomena in computable structure theory. We will give an elementary first-order theory $T_p$ whose models are each bi-interpretable with the disjoint union of an…

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 $\lambda$ be a fixed integer, $\lambda\ge 2.$ Let $s_n$ be any strictly increasing sequence of positive integers satisfying $s_n\le n^{15/14+o(1)}.$ In this paper we give a version of the large sieve inequality for the sequence…

We establish the existence of infinitely many \emph{polynomial} progressions in the primes; more precisely, given any integer-valued polynomials $P_1, >..., P_k \in \Z[\m]$ in one unknown $\m$ with $P_1(0) = ... = P_k(0) = 0$ and any $\eps…

An open conjecture of Z.-W. Sun states that for any integer $n>1$ there is a positive integer $k\le n$ such that $\pi(kn)$ is prime, where $\pi(x)$ denotes the number of primes not exceeding $x$. In this paper, we show that for any positive…

Let the group $G = AB$ be the product of subgroups $A$ and $B$, and let $p$ be a prime. We prove that $p$ does not divide the conjugacy class size (index) of each $p$-regular element of prime power order $x\in A\cup B$ if and only if $G$ is…

Let A={a_s(mod n_s)}_{s=0}^k be a system of residue classes. With the help of cyclotomic fields we obtain a theorem which unifies several previously known results concerning system A. In particular, we show that if every integer lies in…

In this short paper, we extend the concept of the strict order polynomial $\Omega_{P}^{\circ}(n)$, which enumerates the number of strict order-preserving maps $\phi:P\rightarrow\boldsymbol{n}$ for a poset $P$, to the extended strict order…

We consider the group isomorphism problem: given two finite groups G and H specified by their multiplication tables, decide if G and H are isomorphic. The n^(log n) barrier for group isomorphism has withstood all attacks --- even for the…

We examine the relation between the gauge groups of $\mathrm{SU}(n)$- and $\mathrm{PU}(n)$-bundles over $S^{2i}$, with $2\leq i\leq n$, particularly when $n$ is a prime. As special cases, for $\mathrm{PU}(5)$-bundles over $S^4$, we show…

Let $\mathcal{P}(n)$ denote the power set of $[n]$, ordered by inclusion, and let $\mathcal{P}(n,p)$ be obtained from $\mathcal{P}(n)$ by selecting elements from $\mathcal{P}(n)$ independently at random with probability $p$. A classical…

The primorial $p\#$ of a prime $p$ is the product of all primes $q\le p$. Let pr$(n)$ denote the largest prime $p$ with $p\# \mid \phi(n)$, where $\phi$ is Euler's totient function. We show that the normal order of pr$(n)$ is $\log\log…
