We present a characterisation of groups $G$ of order $p^7$, $p$ prime, in which not all elements of the commutator subgroup $\gamma_2(G)$ of $G$ are commutators in $G$. On the way we obtain several structural results on groups of order…
We examine which $p$-groups of order $\le p^6$ are Beauville. We completely classify them for groups of order $\le p^4$. We also show that the proportion of 2-generated groups of order $p^5$ which are Beauville tends to 1 as $p$ tends to…
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.
Let $[n]=\{1,\ldots,n\}$ be the $n$-chain. We give presentations for the following transformation semigroups: the semigroup of full order-decreasing mappings of $[n]$, the semigroup of partial one-to-one order-decreasing mappings of $[n]$,…
Using only undergraduate-level methods, we classify all groups of order $p^4$, where $p$ is an odd prime.
The classification of abelian groups of central type is well known. However, the description of non-abelian groups of central type which are known to be solvable, is far from being understood. In this paper we classify all groups of central…
Over the years various errors have been identified in the 1980 paper of James on the groups of order $p^6$, where $p$ is an odd prime. Here we summarise them.
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 $G$…
This paper presents a classification of all p-groups of order p^5 up to isomorphism. It contains a full list of their polycyclic presentations, a short introduction to the basic ideas of the methodes used to classify the groups, and a…
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.
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…
This note discusses our formalisation in Lean of the classification of the groups of order $p q$ for (not necessarily distinct) prime numbers $p$ and $q$, together with various intermediate results such as the characterisation of internal…
The purpose of this paper is to give presentations for projective $S$-unit groups of the Hurwitz order in Hamilton's quaternions over the rational field $\mathbb{Q}$. To our knowledge, this provides the first explicit presentations of an…
We give a complete list of the class two groups with exponent $p$ and order dividing $p^8$. For each group in the list we compute the number of immediate descendants of order $p^9$ with exponent $p$. In each case the number of descendants…
Given a prime power $p^d$ with $p$ a prime and $d$ a positive integer, we classify the finite groups $G$ with $p^{2d}$ dividing $|G|$ in which all subgroups of order $p^d$ are complemented and the finite groups $G$ having a normal…
We give a new technique for constructing presentations by generators and relations for representations of groups like $SL_n(\mathbb{Z})$ and $Sp_{2g}(\mathbb{Z})$. Our results play an important role in recent work of the authors calculating…
This paper almost classifies the maximal subgroups of $E_7(q)$ for general $q$ a power of a prime $p$. Only four potential maximal subgroups are missing: $PSL_2(7)$ (unknown for $p\neq 2,3,7$), $PSL_2(8)$ ($p=2$) and $PSL_2(9)=A_6$ ($p\neq…
Generalising a previous result, we determine all non-abelian finite simple groups whose order has largest prime divisor not exceeding $10^4$. The computer code for this and similar calculations is made available.
In this paper, we continue the enumeration of Schur rings over cyclic groups. Cyclic groups of semiprime order $pq$, where $p$ and $q$ are distinct primes, are considered. Additionally, cyclic groups of order $4p$ are considered.
The problem of classifying equivalence classes of presentations up to isomorphism of Cayley graphs is considered in this article in the case of dicyclic groups. The number of equivalence classes of presentations is uniformly bounded - it is…
