We present a lower bound for the exponent of the group of rational points of an elliptic curve over a finite field. Earlier results considered finite fields Fqm where either q is fixed or m = 1 and q is prime. Here, we let both q and m vary; our estimate is explicit and does not depend on the elliptic curve.

For a finite p-group P the following three conditions are equivalent: (a) to have a (proper) partition, that is, to be the union of some proper subgroups with trivial pairwise intersections; (b) to have a proper subgroup outside of which all elements have order p; (c) to be a semidirect product P = P1o ⟨φ⟩ where P1 is a subgroup of index p and φ is a splitting automorphism of order p of P1. It ...

We consider the static and dynamic phases in a Rosenzweig-Porter (RP) random matrix ensemble with tailed distribution of off-diagonal elements form large-deviation ansatz. present general theory survival probability such random-matrix model show that {\it averaged} may decay time as simple exponent, stretch-exponent power-law or slower. Correspondingly, we identify exponential, stretch-exponent...

The anisotropic frustrated three-dimensional (3D) XY model with disorder in the coupling constants is simulated as a model of a point disordered superconductor in an applied magnetic field. A finite size scaling analysis of the helicity modulus gives strong evidence for a finite temperature transition with isotropic scaling and the correlation length exponent nu=1.5+/-0.3, consistent with 3D ga...

Monte-Carlo simulations are routinely used for estimating the scaling exponents of complex systems. However, due to finite-size effects, determining the exponent values is often difficult and not reliable. Here we present a novel technique of dealing the problem of finite-size scaling. The efficiency of the technique is demonstrated on two data sets.
