The finite <Emphasis Type=Italic>p</Emphasis>-groups with <Emphasis Type=Italic>p</Emphasis> conjugacy classes of non-normal subgroups

Let ν(G) be the number of conjugacy classes of non-normal subgroups of a finite group G. The finite groups for which ν(G) ≤ 2 were determined by Dedekind and by Schmidt in the early times of group theory. On the other hand, if G is a finite p-group, La Haye and Rhemtulla have proved that either ν(G) ≤ 1 or ν(G) ≥ p. In this note, we determine all finite p-groups satisfying ν(G) = p for p > 2.     

A note on <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-groups of order ≤ <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis><Superscript>4</Superscript>

In [1], we defined c(G), q(G) and p(G). In this paper we will show that if G is a p-group, where p is an odd prime and |G| ≤ p ⁴, then c(G) = q(G) = p(G). However, the question of whether or not there is a p-group G with strict inequality c(G) = q(G) < p(G) is still open.     

Nonlocal General Boundary Value Problems of Elliptic Type in <Emphasis Type=Italic>L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type=Italic>p</Emphasis></Superscript> Cases

This paper is devoted to the study of operational second-order differential equations of elliptic type with nonregular coefficient-operator boundary conditions. In the framework of UMD spaces, we give some new results by using semi-groups and interpolation theory. We define two types of solutions: semi-strict and strict solutions. We then characterizes the existence and uniqueness of such solutions.     

On cyclic <Emphasis Type=Italic>p</Emphasis>-gonal Riemann surfaces with several <Emphasis Type=Italic>p</Emphasis>-gonal morphisms

Let p be a prime number, p > 2. A closed Riemann surface which can be realized as a p-sheeted covering of the Riemann sphere is called p-gonal, and such a covering is called a p-gonal morphism. If the p-gonal morphism is a cyclic regular covering, the Riemann surface is called a cyclic p-gonal Riemann surface. Accola showed that if the genus is greater than (p − 1)² the p-gonal morphism is unique. Using the characterization of p-gonality by means of Fuchsian groups we show that there exists a uniparametric family of cyclic p-gonal Riemann surfaces of genus (p − 1)² which admit two p-gonal morphisms. In this work we show that these uniparametric families are connected spaces and that each of them is the Riemann sphere without three points. We study the Hurwitz space of pairs (X, f), where X is a Riemann surface in one of the above families and f is a p-gonal morphism, and we obtain that each of these Hurwitz spaces is a Riemann sphere without four points.     

On finite groups with special Sylow <Emphasis Type=Italic>p</Emphasis>-subgroups

We find the cases in which a finite p-soluble group with a special Sylow p-subgroup has p-length 1.     

About the computation of the signature of surface singularities <Emphasis Type=Italic>z</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type=Italic>N</Emphasis></Superscript> + <Emphasis Type=Italic>g</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type=Italic>x,y</Emphasis>) = 0

In this article we describe our experiences with a parallel Singular implementation of the signature of a surface singularity defined by z ^N + g(x; y) = 0.     

Essential dimension of finite <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-groups

We prove that the essential dimension and p-dimension of a p-group G over a field F containing a primitive p-th root of unity is equal to the least dimension of a faithful representation of G over F. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000) 20G15; 14C35     

A hybrid calculus for logic <Emphasis Type=Italic>N</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type=Italic>*</Emphasis></Superscript>: residual finiteness and decidability

It is proved that logic N ^* is residually finite and decidable. A hybrid calculus for the logic is constructed based on a tabular calculus for intuitionistic logic. It is shown that the hybrid calculus is sound and complete.     

<Emphasis Type=Italic>L</Emphasis><Superscript>1</Superscript> - <Emphasis Type=Italic>H</Emphasis><Superscript>1</Superscript> bounds for a generalized Strichartz potential

We obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions for the boundedness of a generalized Strichartz potential.     

A polynomial <Emphasis Type=Italic>p</Emphasis>-adic dynamical system

We completely describe the Siegel discs and attractors for the p-adic dynamical system f(x) = x ²ⁿ⁺¹ + axⁿ⁺¹ on the space of complex p-adic numbers.     

On automorphisms of some finite <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-groups

We give a sufficient condition on a finite p-group G of nilpotency class 2 so that Aut _c (G) = Inn(G), where Aut _c (G) and Inn(G) denote the group of all class preserving automorphisms and inner automorphisms of G respectively. Next we prove that if G and H are two isoclinic finite groups (in the sense of P. Hall), then Aut _c (G) ≃ Aut _c (H). Finally we study class preserving automorphisms of groups of order p ⁵, p an odd prime and prove that Aut _c (G) = Inn(G) for all the groups G of order p ⁵ except two isoclinism families.     

On automorphisms of finite Abelian <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-groups

Let A be a finitely generated abelian group. We describe the automorphism group Aut(A) using the rank of A and its torsion part p-part A _p . For a finite abelian p-group A of type (k ₁, ..., k _n ), simple necessary and sufficient conditions for an n × n-matrix over integers to be associated with an automorphism of A are presented. Then, the automorphism group Aut(A) for a finite p-group A of type (k ₁, k ₂) is analyzed. This work has begin during the visit of the second author to the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, Nicolaus Copernicus University during the period July 31–August 13, 2005. This visit was supported by the Nicolaus Copernicus University and a grant from Cnpq.     

The <Emphasis Type=Italic>p</Emphasis>-adic quantum differential

We propose the Fredholm module structure on the space L₂(ℙ¹(ℚ_p)). We study the properties of the corresponding quantum Connes differential.     

Schur multiplicators of finite <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-groups with fixed coclass

We investigate the Schur multiplicators M(G) of p-groups G using coclass theory. For p > 2 we show that there are at most finitely many p-groups G of coclass r with |M(G)| ≤ s for every r and s. We observe that this is not true for p = 2 by constructing infinite series of 2-groups G with coclass r and |M(G)| = 1. We investigate the Schur multiplicators of the 2-groups of coclass r further.     

A class of finite resistant <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-groups

A finite p-group P is called resistant if, for any finite group G having P as a Sylow p-group, the normalizer N _G (P) controls p-fusion in G. Let P be a central extension as

$$1 \to {\mathbb{Z}_{{p^m}}} \to P \to {\mathbb{Z}_p} \times \cdots {\mathbb{Z}_p} \to 1,$$

and |P′| ≤ p, m ≥ 2. The purpose of this paper is to prove that P is resistant.
