The Structure of SL_2(F_3) as a Semidirect Product

In this post we determine $SL_2(\mathbb{F}_3)$ using Sylow theory and linear algebra.

The abc Theorem of Polynomials

In this post we show the Mason-Stothers theorem, the so-called $abc$ theorem for polynomials, and derive Fermat's Last theorem and Davenport's inequality for polynomials. These three theorems correspond to the $abc$ conjecture, Fermat's Last Theorem and Hall's conjecture in number theory.

Properties of Cyclotomic Polynomials

In this post we study cyclotomic polynomials in field theory and deduce some baisc properties of it. We will also use it to solve some problems in field theory.

The Group Algebra of A Finite Group and Maschke's Theorem

In this post we give several forms of Masher's theorem by studying group algebra, which eventually becomes a study of semisimple rings. One can consider this post a chaotic evil introduction to representation theory or something.
