Circular sorting in the alternating group

Melanie Ferreri, Eric Swartz, Nicholas J. Werner

The symmetric group $S_{n}$ is generated by transpositions, and problems of sorting permutations using transpositions are well studied. In recent work, Adin, Alon, and Roichman studi…

Covering rings by proper ideals

Malcolm Hoong Wai Chen, Eric Swartz, Nicholas J. Werner

A cover by left ideals of an associative (not necessarily commutative or unital) ring $R$ is a collection of proper left ideals whose set-theoretic union equals $R$ . If such a cove…

Character theoretic techniques for nonabelian partial difference sets

Seth R. Nelson, Eric Swartz

A $(v, k, λ, μ)$ -partial difference set (PDS) is a subset $D$ of size $k$ of a group $G$ of order $v$ such that every nonidentity element $g$ of $G$ can be expressed in either $λ$ or…

Exponential and weakly exponential subgroups of finite groups

Eric Swartz, Nicholas J. Werner

Sabatini (2024) defined a subgroup $H$ of $G$ to be an exponential subgroup if $x^{∣ G : H ∣} \in H$ for all $x \in G$ . Exponential subgroups are a generalization of normal (and subnor…
