Let $P$ be a Camina $p$-group that acts on a group $Q$ in such a way that $C_P (x) \subseteq P'$ for all nonidentity elements $x \in Q$. We show that $P$ must be isomorphic to the quaternion group $Q_8$. If $P$ has class $2$, this is a…

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for weak and strong embeddability of amalgams in each subvariety of the category of all nilpotent groups of class at most two; this generalizes B. Maier's result for the latter class. We also…

We study the Brauer class rising from the obstruction to the existence of tautological line bundles on the Picard scheme of curves. We determine the period and index of the Brauer class in certain cases.

We classify all groups of order $p^5$ with non-trivial unramified Brauer groups. We show that if $p>3$, then there are precisely $\gcd (p-1,4)+\gcd (p-1,3)+1$ such groups.

We will present an algebra related to the Coxeter group of type I2n which can be taken as a twisted subalgebra in Brauer algebra of type A_{n-1}. Also we will describe some properties of this algebra.

The coexponent of a finite p-group is introduced and we consider how the nilpotency class is bounded in terms of this invariant.

We explore some of the special features with respect to Bredon cohomology of groups having all its finite subgroups either nilpotent or p-groups or cyclic p-groups. We get some results on dimensions and also a formula for the equivariant…

Recently, V.Ginzburg introduced the notion of a principal nilpotent pair (= pn-pair) in a semisimple Lie algebra {\frak g}. It is a double counterpart of the notion of a regular nilpotent element. A pair (e_1,e_2) of commuting nilpotent…

Let $G$ be an adjoint algebraic group of type $B$, $C$, or $D$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 2. We construct a Springer correspondence for the Lie algebra of $G$. In particular, for orthogonal Lie algebras in…

Let $P(G)$ denotes the set of sizes of fibers of non-trivial commutators of the commutator word map. Here, we prove that $|P(G)|=1$, for any finite group $G$ of nilpotency class $3$ with exactlly two conjugacy class sizes. We also show that…

Let G be a 2-group of order 2^n, n>5, and nilpotency class n-2. The invariants of such groups determined by their group algebras over the field of two elements are given in the paper.

We study bounds on nilpotence in H*(BG), the mod p cohomology of the classifying space of a compact Lie group G. Part of this is a report of our previous work on this problem, updated to reflect the consequences of Peter Symonds recent…

It is shown that if G is a finite p-group of coclass 2 with p > 2, then G has a noninner automorphism of order p.

In this paper we continue the study of powerfully nilpotent groups. These are powerful $p$-groups possessing a central series of a special kind. To each such group one can attach a powerful nilpotency class that leads naturally to the…

In this paper, we set $\eta (G)$ to be the number of conjugacy classes of maximal cyclic subgroups of $G$. We prove that if $G$ is a $p$-group of order $p^n$ and nilpotence class $l$, then $\eta (G)$ is bounded below by a linear function in…

We consider groups of the nilpotency class $2$ of order $p^4$ which are the additive groups of local nearrings. It was shown that, for odd p, out of 6 of such groups 4 of them are the additive groups of local nearrings. Some examples of…

Let $G$ be an odd order nilpotent group with class 2 and $e$ denotes the exponent of its commutator subgroup. Let $e=p_1^{r_1}p_2^{r_2}... p_s^{r_s}$, where $p_i$'s are odd primes and $r_i$'s are non-negative integers. Then there are at…

The aim of this paper is to apply character properties of Frobenius group to a local block form of an group algebra. We start by establishing a block form of Brauer permutation Lemma by using block participation of conjugate classes of a…

We enumerate the fibres of commutator word maps over p-groups of nilpotency class less than p with exponent p. We also give some examples and enumerate the fibre sizes of all word maps over p-groups of class 2 with exponent p.

Let $\Gamma$ be a lattice in a simply-connected nilpotent Lie group $N$ whose Lie algebra $\mathfrak{n}$ is $p$-filiform. We show that $\Gamma$ is either abelian or 2-step nilpotent if $\Gamma$ is isomorphic to the fundamental group of a…
