Metacyclic groups of odd order

Minimal Odd Order Automorphism Groups

We show that 3 is the smallest order of a non-trivial odd order group which occurs as the full automorphism group of a finite group.

Character Tables of Metacyclic Groups

We show that two metacyclic groups of the following types are isomorphic if they have the same character tables: (i) split metacyclic groups, (ii) the metacyclic p-groups and (iii) the metacyclic {p, q}-groups, where p, q are odd primes. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. Primary 20C15; Secondary 20D15, 20F16, 20F22.

QUASI-PERMUTATION REPRESENTATIONS OF METACYCLIC 2-GROUPS

By a quasi-permutation matrix we mean a square matrix over the complex field C with non-negative integral trace. Thus, every permutation matrix over C is a quasipermutation matrix. For a given finite group G, let p(G) denote the minimal degree of a faithful permutation representation of G (or of a faithful representation of G by permutation matrices), let q(G) denote the minimal degree of a fa...

Groups of generalised projectivities in projective planes of odd order

The generalised projectivities (GP's) associated with projective planes of odd order are investigated. These are non-singular linear mappings over GF(2) defined from the binary codes of these planes. One case that is investigated in detail corresponds to the group of an affine plane-every point corresponds to a GP. It is shown how many collineations that fix the line at infinity point-wise can ...
