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

We present a constant and a recursive relation to define a sequence $f_n$ such that the floor of $f_n$ is the $n$th prime. Therefore, this constant generates the complete sequence of primes. We also show this constant is irrational and…

We completely characterise when the sequence of free subgroup numbers of a finitely generated virtually free group is ultimately periodic modulo a given prime power.

We study `good elements' in finite $2n$-dimensional classical groups $G$: namely $t$ is a `good element' if $o(t)$ is divisible by a primitive prime divisor of $q^n-1$ for the relevant field order $q$, and $t$ fixes pointwise an $n$-space.…

We describe the isomorphism classes of certain infinite-dimensional graded Lie algebras of maximal class, generated by an element of weight one and an element of weight two, over fields of odd characteristic.

The 4-simplex has vertices 5 unit quaternions, which we arrange so that one of them is the unit. We show that the remaining 4 vertices are the generators of a free group. For the proof, we introduce a new alternating length on words in free…

If p is a prime, then the numbers 1, 2, ..., p-1 form a group under multiplication modulo p. A number g that generates this group is called a primitive root of p; i.e., g is such that every number between 1 and p-1 can be written as a power…

Let $K:=\mathbb{Q}(G)$ be the number field generated by the complex character values of a finite group $G$. Let $\mathbb{Z}_K$ be the ring of integers of $K$. In this paper we investigate the suborder $\mathbb{Z}[G]$ of $\mathbb{Z}_K$…

We prove that equivariantly simple invariant singularities can only exist for very few representations of a group of prime order: for real representations and some ``almost, but not quite real'' representations.

We show that an order in a quartic field has fewer than $3000$ essentially different generators as a $\mathbb Z$-algebra (and fewer than $200$ if the discriminant of the order is sufficiently large). This significantly improves the…

We obtain a description of the irreducible representation algebra of the alternating group of degree four over the ring of 2-adic integers.

Let $F$ be a number field, and $D$ be a quaternion $F$-algebra. We show that the class number of any residually unramified $O_F$-order (e.g. an Eichler order) in $D$ is divisible by the class number of $F$.

The spectrum $\omega(G)$ is the set of orders of elements of $G$. We consider the problem of generating the spectrum of a finite nonabelian simple group $G$ given by the degree of $G$ if $G$ is an alternating group, or the Lie type, Lie…

Let $p$ be a prime number. A longstanding conjecture asserts that every finite non-abelian $p$-group has a non-inner automorphism of order $p$. In this paper, we prove that if $G$ is an odd order finite non-abelian monolithic $p$-group such…

Let $\mathbb{F}_p$ be the prime field of order $p>0$ and $G$ be an elementary abelian $p$-group.For some $n$-dimensional cohyperplane $G$-representations $V$ over $\mathbb{F}_p$, we show that $\mathbb{F}_p[V\oplus V^*]^G$, the invariant…

We consider formal power series $f(z) = \omega z + a_2z^2 + \ldots \ (\omega \neq 0)$, with coefficients in a field of characteristic $0$. These form a group under the operation of composition (= substitution). We prove (Theorem 1) that…

It was conjectured in [KLS14] that non-elementary word hyperbolic groups are never invariably generated. We show that this is indeed the case even for the much larger class of convergence groups.

Harmonic frames of prime order are investigated. The primary focus is the enumeration of inequivalent harmonic frames, with the exact number given by a recursive formula. The key to this result is a one-to-one correspondence developed…

We present an elementary proof that the nonassociative simple Moufang loops over finite prime fields are generated by three elements. In the last section, we conclude that integral Cayley numbers of unit norm are generated multiplicatively…

In the stable general linear group over an arbitrary field, we prove that every element with determinant $\pm 1$ is the product of three involutions, and of no less in general. We also obtain several results of the same flavor, with…
