The greatest mathematical paper of all time
ConclusionWhy do I think that Z.v.G.II was an epoch-making paper?(1)It was the paradigm for subsequent efforts to classify the possible structures for any mathematical object. Hawkins [15] documents…

Generalized group determinant gives a necessary and sufficient condition for a subset of a finite group to be a subgroup
Abstract We generalize the concept of the group determinant and prove a necessary and sufficient novel condition for a subset to be a subgroup. This development is based on the group determinant work…

Assessing Non-Atomicity in Groups of Divisibility
An integral domain D is atomic if every non-zero non-unit is a product of irreducibles. More generally, D is quasi-atomic if every non-zero non-unit divides some product of atoms. Arbitrary integral…

A history of Galois fields
This paper stresses a specific line of development of the notion of finite field, from Evariste Galois's 1830 ''Note sur la theorie des nombres,'' and Camille Jordan's 1870 Traite des substitutions…
Coset Group Construction of Multidimensional Number Systems
TLDR
It is shown that extensions of real numbers in two or more dimensions follow naturally from the closure property of finite coset groups adding insight into the utility of multidimensional number systems in describing symmetries in nature.
Alternative Routes to Representation Theory
The correspondence between Dedekind and Frobenius makes it clear that if Dedekind had not decided to introduce and study group determinants—a subject with no established tradition and really outside…
