In this paper we introduce the notion of m-irreducibility that extends the standard concept of irreducibility of a numerical semigroup when the multiplicity is fixed. We analyze the structure of the set of m-irreducible numerical…

A $q$-ary maximum distance separable (MDS) code $C$ with length $n$, dimension $k$ over an alphabet $\mathcal{A}$ of size $q$ is a set of $q^k$ codewords that are elements of $\mathcal{A}^n$, such that the Hamming distance between two…

A closed subgroup of a semisimple algebraic group is called irreducible if it lies in no proper parabolic subgroup. In this paper we classify all irreducible $A_1$ subgroups of exceptional algebraic groups $G$. Consequences are given…

Let G be a connected reductive group over an algebraic closure of a finite field Fq. In this paper it is proved that the infinite dimensional Steinberg module of kG defined by N. Xi in 2014 is irreducible when k is a field of positive…

The concept of a k-translatable groupoid is introduced. Those k-translatable quadratical quasigroups induced by the additive group of integers modulo m, where k<40, are listed for m<1200. The fine structure of quadratical quasigroups is…

Representations of Quantum Groups U_q (g_n), g_n any semi simple Lie algebra of rank n, are constructed from arbitrary representations of rank n-1 quantum groups for q a root of unity. Representations which have the maximal dimension and…

Let $U_n(q)$ be the upper triangular group of degree $n$ over the finite field $\F_q$ with $q$ elements. In this paper, we present constructions of large degree ordinary irreducible representations of $U_n(q)$ where $n\geq 7$, and then…

We study the ring of invariant functions over the $N$-fold Cartesian product of copies of the compact Lie group $G=SU(2)$, modulo the action of conjugation by the diagonal subgroup, generalizing the group character ring. For $N=1$, an…

In this paper we propose a definition and construction of a new family of one-way candidate functions ${\cal R}_N:Q^N \to Q^N$, where $Q=\{0,1,...,s-1\}$ is an alphabet with $s$ elements. Special instances of these functions can have the…

We study the class of symmetric $n$-ary bands. These are $n$-ary semigroups $(X,F)$ such that $F$ is invariant under the action of permutations and idempotent, i.e., satisfies $F(x,\ldots,x)=x$ for all $x\in X$. We first provide a structure…

Let $q$ be an odd prime power and suppose that $a,b\in\mathbb{F}_q$ are such that $ab$ and $(1{-}a)(1{-}b)$ are nonzero squares. Let $Q_{a,b} = (\mathbb{F}_q,*)$ be the quasigroup in which the operation is defined by $u*v=u+a(v{-}u)$ if…

Under the assumption that the quantum parameter $q$ is an $l$-th primitive root of unity with $l$ odd in a field $F$ of characteristic 0 and $m+n\geq r$, we obtained a complete classification of irreducible modules of the $q$-Schur…

A closed subgroup of a semisimple algebraic group is called irreducible if it lies in no proper parabolic subgroup. In this paper we classify all irreducible subgroups of exceptional algebraic groups $G$ which are connected, closed and…

Which subgroups of the symmetric group S_n arise as invariance groups of n-variable functions defined on a k-element domain? It appears that the higher the difference n-k, the more difficult it is to answer this question. For k>=n, the…

Let N be a normal subgroup of a finite group G and consider the set cd(G|N) of degrees of irreducible characters of G whose kernels do not contain N. A number of theorems are proved relating the set cd(G|N) to the structure of N. For…

A subset of an abelian group is {\em sequenceable} if there is an ordering $(x_1, \ldots, x_k)$ of its elements such that the partial sums $(y_0, y_1, \ldots, y_k)$, given by $y_0 = 0$ and $y_i = \sum_{j=1}^i x_i$ for $1 \leq i \leq k$, are…

Every finite group $G$ has a normal series each of whose factors is either a solvable group or a direct product of nonabelian simple groups. The minimum number of nonsolvable factors attained on all possible such series is called the…

The group $G$ is called $n$-rewritable for $n>1$, if for each sequence of $n$ elements $x_1, x_2, \dots, x_n \in G$ there exists a non-identity permutation $\sigma \in S_n$ such that $x_1 x_2 \cdots x_n = x_{\sigma(1)} x_{\sigma(2)} \cdots…

A numerical semigroup is irreducible if it cannot be obtained as intersection of two numerical semigroups containing it properly. If we only consider numerical semigroups with the same Frobenius number, that concept is generalized to atomic…

This paper is concerned with absolutely irreducible quasisimple subgroups $G$ of a finite general linear group $GL_d(\mathbb{F}_q)$ for which some element $g\in G$ of prime order $r$, in its action on the natural module…
