We present an algebraic construction of music notes and show how to associate them inseveral ways to construct music ranges. Then a family of ranges emerge with a fixed number of notes: two, three, five, seven, twelve, seventeen, etc. A…

Following ideas of Lawvere and Linton we prove that classical varieties are precisely the exact categories with a varietal generator. This means a strong generator which is abstractly finite and regularly projective. An analogous…

Consider any sequence of finite groups $A^t$, where $t$ takes values in an integer index set $\mathbf{Z}$. A group system $A$ is a set of sequences with components in $A^t$ that forms a group under componentwise addition in $A^t$, for each…

A classical theorem of Forster asserts that a finite module $M$ of rank $\leq n$ over a Noetherian ring of Krull dimension $d$ can be generated by $n + d$ elements. We prove a generalization of this result, with "module" replaced by…

For each family of finite classical groups, and their associated simple quotients, we provide an explicit presentation on a specific generating set of size at most 8. Since there exist efficient algorithms to construct this generating set…

We give two explicit sets of generators of the group of invertible regular functions over QQ on the modular curve Y1(N). The first set of generators is very surprising. It is essentially the set of defining equations of Y1(k) for k <= N/2…

In a finite group, a subset is called a Lagrange subset if its size divides the group order, and a factor if it admits a complementary subset. We provide a new and comparatively direct proof of the classification of groups in which every…

In this note, we classify all finite groups having exactly 6, 7 or 8 cyclic subgroups. This gives a partial answer to the open problem posed by Tarnauceanu (Amer. Math. Monthly, 122 (2015), 275-276). As a consequence of our results, we also…

We present a sharp upper bound for the number of generators of a finite group in terms of the ratio between the order and the exponent.

In a recent work [Das et al., Bull. Sci. Math. 199 (2025), 103580], the structure of characterized subgroups corresponding to arithmetic-type sequences was investigated. Building upon this work, we further show that a characterized subgroup…

We will discuss how certain group theory structures are found in music theory. Western music splits the octave into 12 equal tones called half-steps. We can take this division further and split the octave into 24 equal tones by splitting…

The purpose of this article is to give, for any commutative ring A, an explicit minimal set of generators for the ring of multisymmetric functions TS^d_A(A[x_1,...,x_r]) as an A-algebra. In characteristic zero, i.e. when A is an algebra…

Presentations of categories are a well-known algebraic tool to provide descriptions of categories by means of generators, for objects and morphisms, and relations on morphisms. We generalize here this notion, in order to consider situations…

Although it is well-known that the complex cobordism ring is a polynomial ring $\Omega_{*}^{U}\cong\mathbb{Z}\left[\alpha_{1},\alpha_{2},\ldots\right]$, an explicit description for convenient generators $\alpha_{1},\alpha_{2},\ldots$ has…

Musical pieces can be modeled as complex networks. This fosters innovative ways to categorize music, paving the way towards novel applications in multimedia domains, such as music didactics, multimedia entertainment and digital music…

In this expository article we collect the integer sequences that count several different types of matrices over finite fields and provide references to the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS). Section 1 contains the sequences,…

The exact degree bound for the generators of rings of polynomial invariants is determined for the finite, non-cyclic groups having a cyclic subgroup of index two. It is proved that the Noether number of these groups equals one half the…

We give various examples of Q-factorial projective toric varieties such that the sum of the squared torus invariant prime divisors is positive. We also determine the generators for the cone of effective $2$-cycles on a toric variety of…

We present a deterministic polynomial-time algorithm that determines whether a finite module over a finite commutative ring is cyclic, and if it is, outputs a generator.

Operators acting on the discrete random chaos yield signed multiplicative systems, extending the notion of spin matrices and quaternions. We investigate signed groups through the associated sign matrices, focusing on generators and their…
