in this note we review a simple criterion, due to ekedahl, for superspecial curves defined over finite fields.using this we generalize and give some simple proofs for some well-known superspecial curves.

graham higman has defined coset diagrams for psl(2,ℤ). these diagrams are composed of fragments, and the fragments are further composed of two or more circuits. q. mushtaq has proved in 1983 that existence of a certain fragment γ of a coset diagram in a coset diagram is a polynomial f in ℤ[z]. higman has conjectured that, the polynomials related to the fragments are monic and for a fixed degree...

this article introduces a systematic study for computational aspects of classical wavelet transforms over finite fields using tools from computational harmonic analysis and also theoretical linear algebra. we present a concrete formulation for the frobenius norm of the classical wavelet transforms over finite fields. it is shown that each vector defined over a finite field can be represented as...

If a finite group G is isomorphic to a subgroup of SO(3), then G has the D2-property. Let X be a finite complex satisfying Wall’s D2-conditions. If π1(X) = G is finite, and χ(X) ≥ 1− def(G), then X ∨ S is simple homotopy equivalent to a finite 2-complex, whose simple homotopy type depends only on G and χ(X).

the theorem 12 in [a note on $p$-nilpotence and solvability of finite groups, j. algebra 321(2009) 1555--1560.] investigated the non-abelian simple groups in which some maximal subgroups have primes indice. in this note we show that this result can be applied to prove that the finite groups in which every non-nilpotent maximal subgroup has prime index aresolvable.

An infinite group with supersimple theory has a finite series of definable groups whose factors are infinite and either virtually-FC or virtuallysimple modulo a finite FC-centre. We deduce that a group which is typedefinable in a supersimple theory has a finite series of relatively definable groups whose factors are either abelian or simple groups. In this decomposition, the non-abelian simple ...
