In this paper, we study the proportion of vanishing elements of finite groups. We show that the proportion of vanishing elements of every finite non-abelian group is bounded below by $1/2$ and classify all finite groups whose proportions of…

The authors investigate the structure of quasi-o-minimal groups. Among other results, they show that quasi-o-minimal groups are abelian, that quasi-o-minimal densely ordered archimedian groups are divisible, and that every divisible…

We prove that nonvanishing of the first Novikov-Betti number implies that the fundamental group contains a nonabelian free subgroup.

The present note surveys my research related to generalizing notions of abelian group theory to non-commutative case and applying them particularly to investigate fundamental groups.

We discuss functions from edges and vertices of an undirected graph to an Abelian group. Such functions, when the sum of their values along any cycle is zero, are called balanced labelings. The set of balanced labelings forms an Abelian…

An overview of quantum computing and in particular the Hidden Subgroup Problem are presented from a mathematical viewpoint. Detailed proofs are supplied for many important results from the literature, and notation is unified, making it…

We investigate the notion of a subgroup of a quantum group. We suggest a general definition, which takes into account the work that has been done for quantum homogeneous spaces. We further restrict our attention to reductive subgroups,…

In this paper, we study the vanishing-off subgroups of supercharacters, and use these to determine several new characterizations of supercharacter theory products. In particular, we give a character theoretic characterization that allows us…

In this note we study the finite groups whose subgroup lattices are dismantlable.

Let $G$ be a group. We denote by $\nu(G)$ a certain extension of the non-abelian tensor square $G \otimes G$ by $G \times G$. In this paper we prove that the derived subgroup $\nu(G)'$ is a central product of three normal subgroups of…

We present a contribution to the structure theory of locally compact groups. The emphasis is on compactly generated locally compact groups which admit no infinite discrete quotient. It is shown that such a group possesses a characteristic…

Vanishing-off subgroups, generalized Camina pair and other related subgroups have played a significant role in the study of group structure. The primary goal of this paper is to study their analogs in the setting of supercharacter theory.…

We classify abelian subgroups of Out(F_n) up to finite index in an algorithmic and computationally friendly way. A process called disintegration is used to canonically decompose a single rotationless element \phi into a composition of…

We study groups having the property that every non-abelian subgroup contains its centralizer. We describe various classes of infinite groups in this class, and address a problem of Berkovich regarding the classification of finite $p$-groups…

The main goal of this paper is to apply the arithmetic method developed in our previous paper \cite{13} to determine the number of some types of subgroups of finite abelian groups.

The commuting graph of a non-abelian group is a simple graph in which the vertices are the non-central elements of the group, and two distinct vertices are adjacent if and only if they commute. In this paper, we classify (up to isomorphism)…

This is an expository work presenting in detail the proof of the structure theorem for divisible abelian groups. A divisible abelian group is an abelian group that satisfies nD=D for all natural n. The theorem states that any divisible…

This paper deals with the number of subgroups of a given exponent in a finite abelian group. Explicit formulas are obtained in the case of rank two and rank three abelian groups. An asymptotic formula is also presented.

We find the lower central series for residually nilpotent Baumslag-Solitar groups, and find the intersection of all terms of the lower central series. Also, we find non-abelian Bauslag-Solitar groups for which the lower central series has…

We consider abelain subgroups of small index in finite groups. More generally, we consider subgroups such that the product of their index by the index of their centralizer is small.
