The goal of this thesis is to define a 2-dimensional version of abelian categories, where symmetric 2-groups play the role that abelian groups played in 1-dimensional algebra. Abelian and 2-abelian groupoid enriched categories are defined…

It is proved that for any finite dimensional representation of a prime order group over the field of rational numbers, polynomial invariants of degree at most $3$ separate the orbits. A result providing an upper degree bound for separating…

The aim of this paper is to prove that if a planar set $A$ has a difference set $\Delta(A)$ satisfying $\Delta(A)\subset \Z^++s$ for suitable $s$ than $A$ has at most 3 elements. This result is motivated by the conjecture that the disk has…

Let $X$ be a closed semialgebraic set of dimension $k.$ If $n\ge 2k+1$, then there is a bi-Lipschitz and semialgebraic embedding of $X$ into $\Bbb R^n.$ Moreover, if $n \ge 2k+2$, then this embedding is unique (up to a bi-Lipschitz and…

We classify elementary abelian 2 subgroups of compact simple Lie groups of adjoint type. This finishes the classification of elementary abelian $p$ subgroups of compact (or linear algebraic) simple groups of adjoint type.

Let $B$ be a bilinear form on pairs of points in the complex plane, of the form $B(p,q) = p^TMq$, for an invertible $2\times2$ complex matrix $M$. We prove that any finite set $S$ contained in an irreducible algebraic curve $C$ of degree…

In this paper, we are mainly concerned with the enumeration of $(2k+1, 2k+3)$-core partitions with distinct parts. We derive the number and the largest size of such partitions, confirming two conjectures posed by Straub.

For non-negative integers $n$, $m$, $a$ and $b$, we write $\left( n,m \right) \rightarrow \left( a,b \right)$ if for every family $\mathcal{F}\subseteq 2^{[n]}$ with $|\mathcal{F}|\geqslant m$ there is an $a$-element set $T\subseteq [n]$…

We find bounds for the maximal length of a sequence of distinct $\bf{\Gamma_{2n+1,m}}$-sets under $AD$ and show there is no sequence of distinct $\bf{\Gamma_{2n+1}}$-sets of length $\bf{\delta^1_{2n+3}}$. As a special case, there is no…

Binary cyclic codes are worth studying due to their applications and theoretical importance. It is an important problem to construct an infinite family of cyclic codes with large minimum distance $d$ and dual distance $d^{\perp}$. In recent…

Let $n=4k+1$ and $k\geq 4$. We show that there exists maximal commutative subalgebras (with respect to inclusion) of dimension less that $3\cdot 2^{n-2}$.

In this article we aim to develop from first principles a theory of sum sets and partial sum sets, which are defined analogously to difference sets and partial difference sets. We obtain non-existence results and characterisations. In…

In this paper we construct exponentionally many non-isomorphic skew Hadamard difference sets over an elementary abelian group of order $q^3$.

We consider the problem of determining the number of distinct distances between two point sets in $\mathbb{R}^2$ where one point set $\mathcal{P}_1$ of size $m$ lies on a real algebraic curve of fixed degree $r$, and the other point set…

We determine all Ricci flat left invariant Lorentzian metrics on simply connected 2-step nilpotent Lie groups. We show that the $2k+1$-dimensional Heisenberg Lie group $H_{2k+1}$ carries a Ricci flat left invariant Lorentzian metric if and…

Let $H$ be a finite abelian (commutative) group of order $n \geq 2$, and $m >1$ be an integer. We define the $m$-graph of $H$, denoted by $m-G(H)$, as a simple undirected graph with vertex set $H$, and two distinct vertices, $a, b \in H$,…

The results from the article [Strachan I.A.B., Szablikowski B.M., Stud. Appl. Math. 133 (2014), 84-117] are extended over consideration of central extensions allowing the introducing of additional independent variables. Algebraic conditions…

A finite group of order $n$ is said to have the distinct divisor property (DDP) if there exists a permutation $g_1,\ldots, g_n$ of its elements such that $g_i^{-1}g_{i+1} \neq g_j^{-1}g_{j+1}$ for all $1\leq i<j<n$. We show that an abelian…

This work provides a classification of string C-groups of order 2m and exponent at least 2^(m - 3). Prior to the classification, we complete the list of groups of exponent 2^(m - 3) and rank at least 3. The main result states that, aside…
