In this paper we introduce and study a family $\mathcal{A}_n(q)$ of abelian subgroups of $\GL_n(q)$ covering every element of $\GL_n(q)$. We show that $\mathcal{A}_n(q)$ contains all the centralisers of cyclic matrices and equality holds if…
Let $n$ be a positive integer and $G$ be a transitive permutation subgroup of $S_n$. Given a number field $K$ with $[K:\mathbb{Q}]=n$, we let $\widetilde{K}$ be its Galois closure over $\mathbb{Q}$ and refer to…
Given an abstract group $G$, we study the function $ab_n(G) := \sup_{|G:H| \leq n} |H/[H,H]|$. If $G$ has no abelian composition factors, then $ab_n(G)$ is bounded by a polynomial: as a consequence, we find a sharp upper bound for the…
Given two positive integers n and c, we determine an upper bound, as a function of n and c, for the maximum order of a finite nilpotent transitive group of degree n and nilpotency class at most c.
Let $\mathbb F_2^n$ be the finite field of cardinality $2 ^{n}$. For all large $n$, any subset $A\subset \mathbb F_2^n\times \mathbb F_2 ^n$ of cardinality \begin{equation*} \abs{A} \gtrsim 4^n \log\log n (\log n) ^{-1} \end{equation*} must…
Motivated by our arithmetic applications, we required some tools that might be of independent interest. Let $\mathcal E$ be an absolutely irreducible group scheme of rank $p^4$ over $\mathbb Z_p$. We provide a complete description of the…
A result of Pyber states that every finite group $G$ contains an abelian subgroup whose order is quasi-polynomially large in $\lvert G\rvert$. We prove a similar result for $K$-approximate subgroups of solvable groups under only modest…
We prove that a quotient G/N of a subgroup G of Sym(n) by a nonabelian minimal normal subgroup N of G embeds into Sym(m) for some $m<n$. This result was proved previously by Robert Chamberlain, and we also prove that,if G is transitive,…
When monic integral polynomials of degree $n \geq 2$ are ordered by the maximum of the absolute value of their coefficients, the Hilbert irreducibility theorem implies that asymptotically 100% are irreducible and have Galois group…
Let $G$ be a finite group. Recall that an $A$-group is a group whose Sylow subgroups are all abelian. In this paper, we investigate the upper bound on the diameter of the commuting graph of a solvable $A$-group. Assuming that the commuting…
We prove that, in a finitely generated residually finite group of subexponential growth, the proportion of commuting pairs is positive if and only if the group is virtually abelian. In particular, this covers the case where the group has…
We compute for reflection groups of type $A,B,D,F_4,H_3$ and for dihedral groups a statistic counting the maximal cardinality of a set of elements in the group whose generalized inversions yield the full set of inversions and which are…
We show that the minimal base size $b(G)$ of a finite primitive permutation group $G$ of degree $n$ is at most $2 (\log |G|/\log n) + 24$. This bound is asymptotically best possible since there exists a sequence of primitive permutation…
The representation dimension of a finite group $G$ is the minimal dimension of a faithful complex linear representation of $G$. We prove that the representation dimension of any finite group $G$ is at most $\sqrt{|G|}$ except if $G$ is a…
Let K be the quotient field of a complete local domain of dimension 2 with a separably closed residue field. Let G be a finite group of order not divisible by char(K). Then G is admissible over K if and only if its Sylow subgroups are…
It is proved that the universal degree bound for separating polynomial invariants of a finite abelian group (in non-modular characteristic) is strictly smaller than the universal degree bound for generators of polynomial invariants, unless…
Answering a question of I. M. Isaacs, we show that the largest degree of irreducible complex representations of any finite non-abelian simple group can be bounded in terms of the smaller degrees. We also study the asymptotic behavior of…
A corollary of Kneser's theorem, one sees that any finite non-empty subset $A$ of an abelian group $G = (G,+)$ with $|A + A| \leq (2-\eps) |A|$ can be covered by at most $\frac{2}{\eps}-1$ translates of a finite group $H$ of cardinality at…
We characterize the structure of maximum-size sum-free subsets of a random subset of an Abelian group $G$. In particular, we determine the threshold $p_c \approx \sqrt{\log n / n}$ above which, with high probability as $|G| \to \infty$,…
Let $A$ be an abelian variety defined over a number field $K$. For a finite extension $L/K$, the cardinality of the group $A(L)_{\operatorname{tors}}$ of torsion points in $A(L)$ can be bounded in terms of the degree $[L:K]$. We study the…
