Given a set r of permutations of an n-set, let G be the group of permutations generated by f. If p is a prime, a Sylow p-subgroup of G is a subgroup whose order is the largest power of p dividing IGI. For more than 100 years it has been known that a Sylow p-subgroup exists, and that for any two Sylow p-subgroups PI, P, of G there is an element go G such that Pz = g-‘PI g. We present polynomial-...

A theorem by Zacher and Rips states that the finiteness of the index of a subgroup can be described in terms of purely lattice-theoretic concepts. On the other hand, it is clear that if G is a group and H is a subgroup of finite index of G, the index |G : H| cannot be recognized in the lattice L(G) of all subgroups of G, as for instance all groups of prime order have isomorphic subgroup lattice...

If P is a p-group for some prime p we shall write M (P ) to denote the set of all maximal subgroups of P and Md(P ) = {P1, ..., Pd} to denote any set of maximal subgroups of P such that ∩d i=1 Pi = Φ(P ) and d is as small as possible. In this paper, the structure of a finite group G under some assumptions on the c-normal or s-quasinormally embedded subgroups in Md(P ), for each prime p, and Syl...

For every prime p and integer n > 3 we explicitly construct an abelian variety A/Fpn of dimension n such that for a suitable prime l the group of quasi-isogenies of A/Fpn of l-power degree is canonically a dense subgroup of the n-th Morava stabilizer group at p. We also give a variant of this result taking into account a polarization. This is motivated by the recent construction of topological ...

We sharpen a 1980 theorem of Erdős and Wagstaff on the distribution of positive integers having a large shifted prime divisor. Specifically, we obtain precise estimates for the quantity N(x, y) := #{n ≤ x : `− 1 | n for some `− 1 > y, ` prime}, in essentially the full range of x and y. We then present an application to a problem in arithmetic statistics. Let TCM(d) denote the largest order of a...

Let n>1, e?0 and a prime number p?2n+2+2e+3, such that the index of regularity p is ?e. We show there are infinitely many irreducible Galois representations ?:Gal(Q¯/Q)?GLn(Qp) unramified at all primes l?p. Furthermore, these shown to have image containing fixed finite subgroup SLn(Zp). Such constructed by lifting suitable residual ?¯ with in diagonal torus GLn(Fp), for which global deformation...

Let G be a finite group. A coprime commutator in is any element that can written as [x,y] for suitable x,y∈G such π(x)∩π(y)=∅. Here π(g) denotes the set of prime divisors order g∈G. An anti-coprime an [x,y], where π(x)=π(y). The main results paper are follows. If |xG|≤n whenever x commutator, then has nilpotent subgroup n-bounded index. every x∈G, H nilpotency class at most 4 [G:H] and |γ4(H)| ...

Let the field F contain all /?-power roots of unity for some prime p and suppose that the absolute Galois group G of F is a one-relator pro-p group. We use Merkurjev-Suslin's theorem on the power norm residue symbol to show that G is an extension of a Demushkin group by a free pro-/) group. Let F be a field, Fs its separable closure, and G = Ga\(Fs/F) its absolute Galois group. Let n be an inte...

1. The dihedral subgroup is non-abelian. If a group G has the property that the squares of its operators constitute a given group then the direct product of G and any abelian group of order 2m and of type (1,1, 1, • • • ) has the same property. Such direct products will always be excluded in what follows. It has been noted that a necessary and sufficient condition that there is at least one gro...
