‎given a finite non-cyclic group $g$‎, ‎call $sigma(g)$ the smallest number of proper subgroups of $g$ needed to cover $g$‎. ‎lucchini and detomi conjectured that if a nonabelian group $g$ is such that $sigma(g) < sigma(g/n)$ for every non-trivial normal subgroup $n$ of $g$ then $g$ is textit{monolithic}‎, ‎meaning that it admits a unique minimal normal subgroup‎. ‎in this paper we show how thi...

We show that the Feistel construction with six rounds and random round functions is publicly indifferentiable from a random invertible permutation (a result that is not known to hold for full indifferentiability). Public indifferentiability (pub-indifferentiability for short) is a variant of indifferentiability introduced by Yoneyama et al. [29] and Dodis et al. [12] where the simulator knows a...

Let q be a nonzero complex number that is not a root of unity. We give a criterion for 0 to be a primitive ideal of the algebra O q (M m,n) of quantum matrices. Next, we describe all height one primes of O q (M m,n); these two problems are actually interlinked since it turns out that 0 is a primitive ideal of O q (M m,n) whenever O q (M m,n) has only finitely many height one primes. Finally, we...

In the present article, we study conjecture of Sharifi on surjectivity map $\varpi_{\theta}$. Here $\theta$ is a primitive even Dirichlet character conductor $Np$, which exceptional in sense Ohta. After localizing at prime ideal $\mathfrak{p}$ Iwasawa algebra related to trivial zero Kubota\textendash Leopoldt $p$-adic $L$-function $L_p(s,\theta^{-1}\omega^2)$, compute image $\varpi_{\theta,\mat...

Let S be a set of n ideals of a commutative ring A and let Geven (respectively Godd) denote the product of all the sums of even (respectively odd) number of ideals of S. If n ≤ 6 the product of Geven and the intersection of all ideals of S is included in Godd. In the case A is an Noetherian integral domain, this inclusion is replaced by equality if and only if A is a Dedekind domain.

The concept of a 0-distributive poset is introduced. It is shown that a section semicomplemented poset is distributive if and only if it is 0-distributive. It is also proved that every pseudocomplemented poset is 0-distributive. Further, 0-distributive posets are characterized in terms of their ideal lattices.

In STOC 1987, Goldreich, Micali and Wigderson [GMW87] proved a fundamental result: it is possible to securely evaluate any function. Their security formulation consisted of transforming a real-world adversary into an ideal-world one and became a de facto standard for assessing security of protocols. In this work we propose a new approach for the ideal world. Our new definition preserves the unc...

An important predictor of historical sound change, functional load, fails to capture insights from speech perception. Building on ideal observer models of word recognition, we devise a new definition of functional load that incorporates both a priori expectedness and perceptual information. We explore this new measure with a simple model and find that it outperforms tra-

Let A be a Banach algebra with a Hilbert space norm (norm defined by a scalar product). We shall call A a right complemented algebra if it has the property that the orthogonal complement of a right ideal is again a right ideal. This notion was introduced in the author's doctoral thesis [5]. It was proved that under certain additional assumptions every right complemented algebra is left compleme...

The reconfigurable physically unclonable function (PUF) is an advanced security hardware primitive, suitable for applications requiring key renewal or similar refresh functions. The Oxygen vacancies-based resistive RAM (RRAM), has been claimed to be a physically reconfigurable PUF due to its intrinsic switching variability. This paper first analyzes and compares various previously published RRA...
