The aim of this paper is to introduce the notion of BG-injectors of finite groups and invoke this notion to determine the B-injectors of Sₙ and Aₙ and to prove that they are conjugate. This paper provides a new, more straightforward and constructive proof of a result of Bialostocki which determines the B-injectors of the symmetric and alternating groups.
Let α, β and γ be algebraic numbers of respective degrees a, b and c over ℚ such that α + β + γ = 0. We prove that there exist algebraic numbers α₁, β₁ and γ₁ of the same respective degrees a, b and c over ℚ such that α₁ β₁ γ₁ = 1. This proves a previously formulated conjecture. We also investigate the problem of describing the set of triplets (a,b,c) ∈ ℕ³ for which there exist finite field extensions K/k and L/k (of a fixed field k) of degrees a and b, respectively, such that the degree of the...
In this paper we introduce perfectly supportable semigroups and prove that they are σ-discrete in each Hausdorff shiftinvariant topology. The class of perfectly supportable semigroups includes each semigroup S such that FSym(X) ⊂ S ⊂ FRel(X) where FRel(X) is the semigroup of finitely supported relations on an infinite set X and FSym(X) is the group of finitely supported permutations of X.
If G is a group then the abelian subgroup spectrum of G is defined to be the set of all κ such that there is a maximal abelian subgroup of G of size κ. The cardinal invariant A(G) is defined to be the least uncountable cardinal in the abelian subgroup spectrum of G. The value of A(G) is examined for various groups G which are quotients of certain permutation groups on the integers. An important special case, to which much of the paper is devoted, is the quotient of the full symmetric group by the...
We determine the stable cohomology groups (

for all integers n and i, and all odd primes p.
We give qualitative and quantitative improvements on all the best previously known irrationality results for dilogarithms of positive rational numbers. We obtain such improvements by applying our permutation group method to the diophantine study of double integrals of rational functions related to the dilogarithm.
