We show that the Cantor-Bendixson rank of a limit group is finite as well as that of a limit group of a linear group.

Given a finite group $G$ of order $p^nm$, where $p$ is a prime and $p\nmid m$, we denote by $\psi_p(G)$ the sum of orders of $p$-parts of elements in $G$. In the current note, we prove that $\psi_p(G)\leq\psi_p(C_{p^nm})$, where $C_{p^nm}$…

Let G be a reductive group over a commutative ring R. We say that G has isotropic rank >=n, if every normal semisimple reductive R-subgroup of G contains (G_m)^n. We prove that if G has isotropic rank >=1 and R is a regular domain…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $p$ a prime. We establish an upper bound for the derived length of a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G$ in terms of the number of irreducible characters of $G$ whose degrees are divisible by $p$. We also prove that if…

Let $G$ be a semisimple linear algebraic group over a field $k$ and let $G^+(k)$ be the subgroup generated by the subgroups $R_u(Q)(k)$, where $Q$ ranges over all the minimal $k$-parabolic subgroups $Q$ of $G$. We prove that if $G^+(k)$ is…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ and $G=\langle\sigma_1, \dots, \sigma_n\rangle$ be a finitely generated subgroup of $\operatorname{Gal}(\overline{\mathbb{Q}}/ \mathbb{Q})$. Larsen's conjecture claims that the rank of the…

Let $K:=\mathbb{Q}(G)$ be the number field generated by the complex character values of a finite group $G$. Let $\mathbb{Z}_K$ be the ring of integers of $K$. In this paper we investigate the suborder $\mathbb{Z}[G]$ of $\mathbb{Z}_K$…

Let $G$ be a finite group. A proper subgroup $H$ of $G$ is said to be large if the order of $H$ satisfies the bound $|H|^3 \ge |G|$. In this note we determine all the large maximal subgroups of finite simple groups, and we establish an…

We prove that every verbally closed two-generated subgroup of a free solvable group G of a finite rank is a retract of G.

A group $G$ with conjugation operation is a rack. We call such racks \emph{group racks}. In this paper we study finite group racks via their subrack lattices. Heckenberger, Shareshian, and Welker proved that the isomorphism type of the…

Let $w$ be a multilinear commutator word. In the present paper we describe recent results that show that if $G$ is a profinite group in which all $w$-values are contained in a union of finitely (or in some cases countably) many subgroups…

Given a finitely generated subgroup G of a ring R we provide a finite subset of G such that if each element of this set satisfies some cubic polynomial equation in one variable over the center Z of R then the subring generated by G has…

Let $G$ be a finite group, and let $V$ be a completely reducible faithful $G$-module. By a result of Glauberman it has been known for a long time that if $G$ is nilpotent of class 2, then $|G| < |V|$. In this paper we generalize this result…

In his paper "Finite groups have many conjugacy classes" (J. London Math. Soc (2) 46 (1992), 239-249), L. Pyber proved the to date best general lower bounds for the number of conjugacy classes of a finite group in terms of the order of the…

In the paper we consider the following conjecture: if a finite group $G$ possesses a solvable $\pi$-Hall subgroup $H$, then there exist elements $x,y,z,t\in G$ such that the identity $H\cap H^x\cap H^y\cap H^z\cap H^t=O_\pi(G)$ holds. The…

We present a conjecture on multiplicity of irreducible representations of a subgroup $H$ contained in the irreducible representations of a group $G$, with $G$ and $H$ having the same derived groups. We point out some consequences of the…

Given a finite group $G,$ we denote by $\Delta(G)$ the graph whose vertices are the proper subgroups of $G$ and in which two vertices $H$ and $K$ are joined by an edge if and only if $G=\langle H,K\rangle.$ We prove that if there exists a…

We study a characteristic subgroup of finitely generated groups, consisting of elements with uniform upper bound for word-lengths. For a group $G$, we denote this subgroup by $G_{bound}$. We give sufficient criteria for triviality and…

Examples are given of profinite groups that are not strongly complete, and have other `bad' properties, yet have only finitely many open subgroups of each finite index. It is shown that a profinite group with the latter property must be…
