A classical theorem on character degrees states that if a finite group has fewer than four degrees, then the is solvable. We prove corresponding result values by showing eight in its table, This confirms conjecture of T. Sakurai. also classify non-solvable groups with exactly values.

We give efficient quantum algorithms for the problems of Hidden Translation and Hidden Subgroup in a large class of non-abelian solvable groups including solvable groups of constant exponent and of constant length derived series. Our algorithms are recursive. For the base case, we solve efficiently Hidden Translation in Zp , whenever p is a fixed prime. For the induction step, we introduce the ...

We give a topological interpretation of the free metabelian group, following the plan described in [Ver1],[Ver2]. This interpretation is based on considering the Cayley graph of a finitely generated group as a one-dimensional complex, its homology group with induced action of the group, and the corresponding extension of the homology group determined by the canonical cocycle. We also define sat...

We determine the torsion subgroup of the group of endotrivial modules for a finite solvable group in characteristic p. We also prove that our result would hold for p-solvable groups, provided a conjecture can be proved about the case of p-nilpotent groups.

We study the combinatorics of constructing non-singular geometrically irreducible projective curves that do not admit rational points over finite solvable extensions of the base field. A graph is without solvable orbits if its group of automorphisms acts on each of its orbits through a non-solvable quotient. We prove that there is a connected graph without solvable orbits of cyclomatic number c...

An abundance of information regarding the structure of a finite group can be obtained by studying its irreducible characters. Of particular interest are monomial characters — those induced from a linear character of some subgroup — since Brauer has shown that any irreducible character of a group can be written as an integral linear combination of monomial characters. Our primary focus is the cl...
