Let $G$ be a finite simple group of type ${\rm L}\_{n}^{\epsilon}(q)$ with the following conditions: $n$ and $\dfrac{q^{n}-\epsilon}{(q-\epsilon)(n,q-\epsilon)}$ both prime, $n\geqslant3$ and $(n,q,\epsilon)\neq(3,4,+),(3,3,-),(3,5,-),(5,2,-)$ Show that: 1- Every minimal subgroup $L$ of order $s=\dfrac{q^{n}-\e...

Maximal subgroups of some special cases of ${\rm L}_{n}^{\epsilon}(q)$
It looks to me as though the answer is yes. You have excluded those cases where $C\_s \rtimes C\_n$ is not maximal in $L\_n^\epsilon(q)$. So in any other situation, $C\_s \rtimes C\_n$ is maximal, and hence if $C\_s$ were contained in some other maximal subgroup $M$ then we would have $M \cap C\_s = C\_s$. But then $...

Call a field $k$ *unrepeatable*$^1$ if for every field $L$ there are either zero or one field homomorphisms $k \to L$. Then the prime fields $\mathbb{Q}$ and $\mathbb{F}\_p$ for $p$ prime are clearly unrepeatable and it seems very likely to me that those are the only ones. Is that true? Notice that an unrepeatable fi...

Is a field that never embeds twice in another field necessarily a prime field?
It seems that indeed only prime fields are unrepeatable. **Proof:** Let $k$ be unrepeatable and $F\subseteq k$ denote the prime field of $k$. Let $T\subseteq k$ be a transcendence base of $k/F$ and let $G=F(T)$. If $T\neq\emptyset$, then $G/F$ has non-trivial automorphisms (say take one element $t\in T$ to $t+1$). Si...

Let $q$ be a prime power and let $n\geq2$ be an integer. Is it known what is the largest order of a unipotent upper-triangular $n\times n$ matrix over the ring $\mathbb{Z}/q\mathbb{Z}$? I am mostly interested in upper bounds.

Order of unipotent matrices over $\mathbb{Z}/q\mathbb{Z}$
This works for any unipotent matrix whose characteristic polynomial is $(x-1)^n$ (including some upper-triangular matrices without ones on the diagonal). By Cayley-Hamilton, the matrix $U$ satisfies $(U-1)^{n}=0$, so we can write $U = 1 + N$ with $N^n=0$. Then $$ U^{p^k} = (1+N)^{p^k} = \sum\_{i=0}^{n-1} {p^k \choose...

Let $\Sigma(g,n)$ be an $n$-punctured surface of genus $g$. If we assume that $f:\Sigma(g,n)\rightarrow\Sigma(g,n)$ is a branched self-covering map of degree $d$, then the equality follows from the [Riemann-Hurwitz formula](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann%E2%80%93Hurwitz_formula) $$ \chi(\Sigma(g,n)) = d\cdot\c...

The following quotes comes from "Cantor's Attic"'s page on supercompacts: > > If κ is $|V\_{κ+η}|$-supercompact with $η<κ$ then it is preceeded by a stationary set of $η$-extendible cardinals.

Extendibility vs supercompactness
$2$-extendibility reflects $2^\kappa$-supercompactness. It suffices to show that any $2$-extendible $\kappa$ is $2^\kappa$-supercompact. Then if $\mathcal U$ is a normal fine $\kappa$-complete ultrafilter on $P\_\kappa(P(\kappa))$ and $j : V\_{\kappa+2}\to V\_{\kappa\_\* + 2}$ witnesses 2-extendibility, $\mathcal U\in ...

Is the following injectivity schema provable in ZF-foundation?
No, some instances of the injectivity scheme are refutable in ZF. For example, let $\phi(x,A)$ say "either $x$ is an ordinal $\geq2$ or $x=\{y\}$ for some $y\in A$. (To verify the second hypothesis of injectivity for this $\phi$, use that an ordinal $\geq2$ is never a singleton.)

Let $X$ be a smooth projective threefold with $h^{0,1}(X) = h^{0,2}(X)=0$ that has a smooth anticanonical section $D$. Then $D$ is necessarily a $K3$ surface.

A possible characterization of Euclidean geometry via the curvature of the Median-submanifold
The answer to your question is in the affirmative, even in the more general setting of general (pseudo)-Riemannian manifolds. In the Riemannian case this is a theorem due to Busemann.

Is $\mathbb{C}[x^{\pm 1},y]/\langle y^3-(x^2+ax+b) \rangle$ a $n$-point ring?
No (assuming that $a^2 \neq 4b$, so the quadratic is not a square). In fact, the fields $\mathrm{Frac}(R)$ and $\mathbb{C}(t)$ are not isomorphic. From a sophisticated perspective, the point is that the former has genus one and the latter has genus $0$. In general, this is a hard notion to define in an elementary way; ...

Let $G$ be a finite 2-generated group. Let $p$ be a prime dividing the order of $G$. Must there exist a generating pair $(g,h)$ of $G$ such that $|g|$ is divisible by $p$? If not, is this true at least for finite simple groups?

The answer is yes for finite simple groups $G$. Every element of $G$ is an element of a generating pair.
