The orders of nonsingular derivations of Lie algebras of characteristic two

Sandro Mattarei

Nonsingular derivations of modular Lie algebras which have finite multiplicative order play a role in the coclass theory for pro- groups and Lie algebras. A study of the set N_p…

On a special congruence of Carlitz

Sandro Mattarei

We prove that if is a power of a prime and divides , with , then \[ 1+(q-1)\sum_{0\le b(q-1)<a} \binom{a}{b(q-1)}\equiv 0\pmod{p^{k+1}}. \] The special cas…

Automorphisms of p-groups of maximal class

Andrea Caranti, Sandro Mattarei

Juhasz has proved that the automorphism group of a group G of maximal class of order p^n, with p\ge 5 and n>p+1, has order divisible by . We show that…

Linear recurrence relations for binomial coefficients modulo a prime

Sandro Mattarei

We investigate when the sequence of binomial coefficients \binom{k}{i} modulo a prime p, for a fixed positive integer k, satisfies a linear recurrence relation of (positive) degree…

Diamonds of finite type in thin Lie algebras

Sandro Mattarei, Marina Avitabile

Borrowing some terminology from pro-p groups, thin Lie algebras are N-graded Lie algebras of width two and obliquity zero, generated in degree one. In particular, their homogeneous…

Exponential functions in prime characteristic

Sandro Mattarei

In this note we determine all power series $F(X)\in 1+X\F_p[[X]]$ such that has only terms of total degree a multiple of . Up to a scalar factor, they a…
