On the modular group ring of a $p$-group

The P-modular Descent Algebra of the Symmetric Group

The descent algebra of the symmetric group, over a field of non-zero characteristic p, is studied. A homomorphism into the algebra of generalised p-modular characters of the symmetric group is defined. This is then used to determine the radical, and its nilpotency index. It also allows the irreducible representations of the descent algebra to be described.

THE DERIVED GROUP OF A SEIFERT FIBRE GROUP

Every Seifert Fibre Group is the lift of a Fuchsian group to the universal covering group of PSL (2,R). From this, we work out a form of presentation for such a group. With the calculation of the Euler number, we can establish the presentation of the derived group of a Seifert Fibre Group

THE AUTOMORPHISM GROUP OF NON-ABELIAN GROUP OF ORDER p^4

Let G be a finite non-abelian group of order p^4 . In this paper we give a structure theorem for the Sylow p-subgroup, Aut_p(G)  , of the automorphism group of G.

On a conjecture of a bound for the exponent of the Schur multiplier of a finite $p$-group

Let $G$ be a $p$-group of nilpotency class $k$ with finite exponent $exp(G)$ and let $m=lfloorlog_pk floor$. We show that $exp(M^{(c)}(G))$ divides $exp(G)p^{m(k-1)}$, for all $cgeq1$, where $M^{(c)}(G)$ denotes the c-nilpotent multiplier of $G$. This implies that $exp( M(G))$ divides $exp(G)$, for all finite $p$-groups of class at most $p-1$. Moreover, we show that our result is an improvement...
