Schur multipliers of p-groups.
Let be an abelian group and two subsets of equal size such that and both have size . Answering a question of Bihani and Jin, we prove that if is aperiodic or if there exist elements and such that has a unique expression as an element of and has a unique expression as an element of , then is a translate of . We also give an explicit description of the various counterexamples which arise when neither condition holds.
Let be a group and let be a finite subset. The isoperimetric method investigates the objective function , defined on the subsets with and , where is the product of by .In this paper we present all the basic facts about the isoperimetric method. We improve some of our previous results and obtain generalizations and short proofs for several known results. We also give some new applications.Some of the results obtained here will be used in coming papers to improve Kempermann structure...
In this expository paper, we present several open problerns in number theory that have arisen while doing research in group theory. These problems are on arithmetical functions or partitions. Solving some of these problems would allow to solve some open problem in group theory.[Proceedings of the Primeras Jornadas de Teoría de Números (Vilanova i la Geltrú (Barcelona), 30 June - 2 July 2005)].
In this paper, we first find the set of orders of all elements in some special linear groups over the binary field. Then, we will prove the characterizability of the special linear group using only the set of its element orders.
