We classify finite groups $G$, such that the group algebra, $\mathbb{Q}G$ (over the field of rational numbers $\mathbb{Q}$), is the direct product of the group algebra $\mathbb{Q}[G/N]$ of a proper factor group $G/N$, and some division…
We call a finite group irrational if none of its elements is conjugate to a distinct power of itself. We prove that those groups are solvable and describe certain classes of these groups, where the above property is only required for…
The power graph of a group $G$ is a simple and undirected graph with vertex set $G$ and two distinct vertices are adjacent if one is a power of the other. In this article, we characterize (non-cyclic) finite groups of prime exponent and…
This is an addendum to arXiv: 0810.5376. We show, using our methods and an auxiliary result of Bestvina-Bromberg-Fujiwara, that a finitely generated group with infinitely many pairwise non-conjugate homomorphisms to a mapping class group…
Let $p$ be a prime. In this paper we classify the $p$-structure of those finite $p$-separable groups such that, given any three non-central conjugacy classes of $p$-regular elements, two of them necessarily have coprime lengths.
Let $a\geq 1$ and $n>1$ be odd integers. For a given prime $p$, we prove under certain conditions that the class groups of imaginary quadratic fields $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{a^2-4p^n})$ have a subgroup isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$. We…
We show, using acylindrical hyperbolicity, that a finitely generated group splitting over $\Z$ cannot be simple. We also obtain SQ-universality in most cases, for instance a balanced group (one where if two powers of an infinite order…
In this note we show that many subgroups of mapping class groups of infinite-type surfaces without boundary have trivial centers, including all normal subgroups. Using similar techniques, we show that every nontrivial normal subgroup of a…
We show that mapping class groups of surfaces of genus at least two contain elements of infinite order that are not conjugate to their inverses, but whose powers have bounded torsion lengths. In particular every homogeneous…
Let $A$ be a unital simple separable exact C$^*$-algebra which is approximately divisible and of real rank zero. We prove that the set of positive elements in $A$ with a fixed non-compact Cuntz class has vanishing homotopy groups. Combined…
We construct, for the first time, various types of specific non-special finite $p$-groups having abelian automorphism group. More specifically, we construct groups $G$ with abelian automorphism group such that $\gamma_2(G) < \mathrm{Z}(G) <…
The object of study in this paper is the finite groups whose integral group rings have only trivial central units. Prime-power groups and metacyclic groups with this property are characterized. Metacyclic groups are classified according to…
In this paper we study the longstanding conjecture of whether there exists a noninner automorphism of order $p$ for a finite non-abelian $p$-group. We prove that if $G$ is a finite non-abelian $p$-group such that $G/Z(G)$ is powerful then…
Let $p$ be a prime number and suppose that every maximal subgroup of a finite group is either $p$-nilpotent or has prime index. Such group need not be $p$-solvable, and we study its structure by proving that only one nonabelian simple group…
In this paper we investigate the structure of finite $p$-groups with the property that every subgroup of index $p^i$ is powerful for some $i$. For odd primes $p$, we show that under certain conditions these groups must be potent. Then,…
Recent results of Qu and Tuarnauceanu describe explicitly the finite p-groups which are not elementary abelian and have the property that the number of their subgroups is maximal among p-groups of a given order. We complement these results…
In an earlier work, finite groups whose power graphs are minimally edge connected have been classified. In this article, first we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for an arbitrary graph to be minimally edge connected.…
This paper has two main parts. In the first part we develop an elementary coordinatization for any nilpotent group $G$ taking exponents in a binomial principal ideal domain (PID) $A$. In case that the additive group $A^+$ of $A$ is finitely…
For a root of unity $\zeta$ of odd prime order, we restrict coefficients of non-semisimple quantum representations of mapping class groups associated with the small quantum group $\mathfrak{u}_\zeta \mathfrak{sl}_2$ from $\mathbb{Q}(\zeta)$…
In this paper, we prove that the endomorphism rings End A and End A' of periodic infinite Abelian groups A and A' are elementarily equivalent if and only if the endomorphism rings of their p-components are elementarily equivalent for all…
