We prove that, for any prime $p$, there are precisely $2p^4-p^3-p^2-3p-1$ medial quasigroups of order $p^2$, up to isomorphism.

We enumerate central and medial quasigroups of order less than $128$ up to isomorphism, with the exception of those quasigroups that are isotopic to $C_4\times C_2^4$, $C_2^6$, $C_3^4$ or $C_5^3$. We give an explicit formula for the number…

We investigate pairwise quasi-orthogonal subalgebras in $M_{p^{kn}}$ which are isomorphic to $M_{p^{k}}$ for $k \ge 1$, $n \ge 2$ and a prime number $p$ with $p \ge 3$. We prove there exist $p^{2kn}-1/p^{2k}-1$ such subalgebras and they…

Given a prime $p$, we construct a permutation group containing at least $p^{p-2}$ non-conjugated regular elementary abelian subgroups of order $p^3$. This gives the first example of a permutation group with exponentially many non-conjugated…

Using only undergraduate-level methods, we classify all groups of order $p^4$, where $p$ is an odd prime.

For any prime $p>3$ and $j\in\mathbb{N}$ we construct examples of non-$FSZ_{p^j}$ groups of order $p^{p^j+2j-1}$. In the special case of $j=1$ this yields groups of order $p^{p+1}$, which is the minimum possible order for a non-$FSZ$…

We consider the quotient group $T(G)$ of the multiple holomorph by the holomorph of a finite $p$-group $G$ of class two for an odd prime $p$. By work of the first-named author, we know that $T(G)$ contains a cyclic subgroup of order…

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…

We determine the minimal degree of a faithful permutation representation for each group of order $p^6$ where $p$ is an odd prime. We also record how to obtain such a representation.

Extending earlier work of Guralnick and of Cai and Zhang, we classify the almost simple groups which have transitive permutation representations of prime power degree $p^k$, and those which have $p$-complements (stabilisers of order coprime…

We present the number of totally symmetric quasigroups (equivalently, totally symmetric Latin squares) of order 16, as well as the number of isomorphism classes, and extend previously published results to include information on the number…

A quasigroup $Q$ is called maximally nonassociative if for $x,y,z\in Q$ we have that $x\cdot (y\cdot z) = (x\cdot y)\cdot z$ only if $x=y=z$. We show that, with finitely many exceptions, there exists a maximally nonassociative quasigroup of…

The minimal faithful permutation degree $\mu(G)$ of a finite group $G$ is the least integer $n$ such that $G$ is isomorphic to a subgroup of the symmetric group $S_n$. If $G$ has a normal subgroup $N$ such that $\mu(G/N) > \mu(G)$, then $G$…

A finite group G is exceptional if it has a quotient Q whose minimal faithful permutation degree is greater than that of G. We say that Q is a distinguished quotient. The smallest examples of exceptional p-groups have order p^5. For an odd…

Let $P$ be a finite $p$-group and $p$ be an odd prime. Let $\mathcal{A}_p(P)_{\geq2}$ be a poset consisting of elementary abelian subgroups of rank at least 2. If the derived subgroup $P'\cong C_p\times C_p$, then the spheres occurring in…

For every odd prime $p$ and every integer $n\geq 12$ there is a Heisenberg group of order $p^{5n/4+O(1)}$ that has $p^{n^2/24+O(n)}$ pairwise nonisomorphic quotients of order $p^{n}$. Yet, these quotients are virtually indistinguishable.…

In this paper, we have computed the automorphism groups of all groups of order $p^{2}q^{2}$, where $p$ and $q$ are distinct primes.

We enumerate three classes of non-medial quasigroups of order $243=3^5$ up to isomorphism. There are $17004$ non-medial trimedial quasigroups of order $243$ (extending the work of Kepka, B\'en\'eteau and Lacaze), $92$ non-medial…

Let $G$ be an odd order nilpotent group with class 2 and $e$ denotes the exponent of its commutator subgroup. Let $e=p_1^{r_1}p_2^{r_2}... p_s^{r_s}$, where $p_i$'s are odd primes and $r_i$'s are non-negative integers. Then there are at…

We record for reference a detailed description of the automorphism groups of the groups of order $p^{2} q$, where $p$ and $q$ are distinct primes.
