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…

Connected weakly irreducible not irreducible subgroups of $Sp(1,n+1)\subset SO(4,4n+4)$ that satisfy a certain additional condition are classified. This will be used to classify connected holonomy groups of pseudo-hyper-K\"ahlerian…

We prove that a multiplicative subgroup $A_k$ of $\mathbb{Z}_p^*$ is a generalized arithmetic progression if and only if $|A_k| = 2,\ 4,$ or $p-1$. Much of the argument is built upon recent work studying additive decompositions of subgroups…

Motivated by a problem from behavioral economics, we study subgroups of permutation groups that have a certain strong symmetry. Given a fixed permutation, consider the set of all permutations with disjoint inversion sets. The group is…

We say that $(x,y,z)\in Q^3$ is an associative triple in a quasigroup $Q(*)$ if $(x*y)*z=x*(y*z)$. Let $a(Q)$ denote the number of associative triples in $Q$. It is easy to show that $a(Q)\ge |Q|$, and we call the quasigroup maximally…

Suppose $N$ is elementarily equivalent to an archimedean ordered abelian group $(G,+,<)$ with small quotients (for all $1 \leq n < \omega$, $[G: nG]$ is finite). Then every stable reduct of $N$ which expands $(G,+)$ (equivalently every…

A sequence of positive integers $(a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_k)$ is called $\ell$-additive if $a_1+a_2+\cdots+a_k=\ell a_1$ or $\ell a_k$. In this paper, we prove that for all $k\geq3$, if $n$ is sufficiently large, then every permutation of…

A class of n-ary Poisson structures of constant rank is indicated. Then, one proves that the ternary Poisson brackets are exactly those which are defined by a decomposable 3-vector field. The key point is the proof of a lemma which tells…

Let $R$ be an associative ring with unity $1$ and consider that $2,k$ and $2k\in \mathbb{N}$ are invertible in $R$. For $m\geq 1$ denote by $UT_n(m,R)$ and $UT_{\infty}(m,R)$, the subgroups of $UT_n(R)$ and $UT_{\infty}(R)$ respectively,…

Let $G$ be a nonabelian group, $A\subseteq G$ an abelian subgroup and $n\geqslant 2$ an integer. We say that $G$ has an $n$-abelian partition with respect to $A$, if there exists a partition of $G$ into $A$ and $n$ disjoint commuting…

Two permutations of $[n]=\{1,2 \ldots n\}$ are \textit{$k$-neighbor separated} if there are two elements that are neighbors in one of the permutations and that are separated by exactly $k-2$ other elements in the other permutation. Let the…

A classical theorem of Baranyai states that, given integers $2\leq k < n$ such that $k$ divides $n$, one can find a family of ${n-1\choose k-1}$ partitions of $[n]$ into $k$-element subsets such that every subset appears in exactly one…

Let $G=(\mathbb Z/n\mathbb Z) \oplus (\mathbb Z/n\mathbb Z)$. Let $\mathsf {s}_{\leq k}(G)$ be the smallest integer $\ell$ such that every sequence of $\ell$ terms from $G$, with repetition allowed, has a nonempty zero-sum subsequence with…

Fix $\varepsilon > 0$. We say that a finite group $G$ is $\varepsilon$-quasirandom if every nontrivial irreducible complex representation of $G$ has degree at least $|G|^\varepsilon$. In this paper, we give a structure theorem for large…

Let $q$ be a prime power and $U$ the group of lower unitriangular matrices of order $n$ for some natural number $n$. We give a lower bound for the degrees of irreducible constituents of Andr\'{e}-Yan supercharacters and classify the…

We study the link between stably finiteness and stably projectionless-ness for $C^*$-algebras of solvable Lie groups. We show that these two properties are equivalent if the dimension of the group is not divisible by $4$; otherwise, they…

Parastrophes (conjugates) of a quasigroup can be divided into separate classes containing isotopic parastrophes. We prove that the number of such classes is always 1, 2, 3 or 6. Next we characterize quasigroups having a fixed number of such…

In this paper we study the (2,k)-generation of the finite classical groups SL(4,q), Sp(4,q), SU(4,q^2) and their projective images. Here k is the order of an arbitrary element of SL(2,q), subject to the necessary condition k>= 3. When q is…

We prove that, for every odd prime number $p$, there are $2p-1$ paramedial quasigroups of order $p$ and $6p^2-p-1$ paramedial quasigroups of order $p^2$, up to isomorphism. We present a complete list of those which are simple.

We consider the problem of finding the maximum possible size of a family of k-dimensional subcubes of the n-cube {0,1}^{n}, none of which is contained in the union of the others. (We call such a family `irredundant'). Aharoni and Holzman…
