Given a two‐generated group of prime‐power order, we investigate the singularities of origamis whose deck group acts transitively and is isomorphic to the given group. Geometric and group‐theoretic ideas are used to classify the possible strata, depending on the prime‐power order. We then show that for many interesting known families of two‐generated groups of prime‐power order, including all regular, or powerful ones, or those of maximal class, each group admits only one possible stratum. However, we also construct examples of two‐generated groups of prime‐power order, which do not determine a unique stratum.

Abstract We study the indexing systems that correspond to equivariant Steiner and linear isometries operads. When G is a finite abelian group, we prove that a G -indexing system is realized by a Steiner operad if and only if it is generated by cyclic G -orbits. When G is a finite cyclic group, whose order is either a prime power or a product of two distinct primes greater than 3, we prove that a G -indexing system is realized by a linear isometries operad if and only if it satisfies Blumberg and Hill’s horn-filling condition. We also repackage the data in an indexing system as a certain kind of partial order. We call these posets transfer systems, and develop basic tools for computing with them.more » « less

Abstract We show that for all $n\leq X$ apart from $O(X\exp (-c(\log X)^{1/2}(\log \log X)^{1/2}))$ exceptions, the alternating group $A_{n}$ is invariably generated by two elements of prime order. This answers (in a quantitative form) a question of Guralnick, Shareshian, and Woodroofe.

Abstract We study the fields of values of the irreducible characters of a finite group of degree not divisible by a prime p . In the case where $p=2$ , we fully characterise these fields. In order to accomplish this, we generalise the main result of [ILNT] to higher irrationalities. We do the same for odd primes, except that in this case the analogous results hold modulo a simple-to-state conjecture on the character values of quasi-simple groups.more » « less

Abstract Here, we initiate a program to study relationships between finite groups and arithmetic–geometric invariants in a systematic way. To do this, we first introduce a notion of optimal module for a finite group in the setting of holomorphic mock Jacobi forms. Then, we classify optimal modules for the cyclic groups of prime order, in the special case of weight 2 and index 1, where class numbers of imaginary quadratic fields play an important role. Finally, we exhibit a connection between the classification we establish and the arithmetic geometry of imaginary quadratic twists of modular curves of prime level.
