Let $S$ be either a free group or the fundamental group of a closed hyperbolic surface. We show that if $G$ is a finitely generated residually-$p$ group with the same pro-$p$ completion as $S$, then two-generated subgroups of $G$ are free.…

We study the problem of realizing families of subgroups as the set of stabilizers of configurations from a subshift of finite type (SFT). This problem generalizes both the existence of strongly and weakly aperiodic SFTs. We show that a…

Let $\pi_1(C)$ be the algebraic fundamental group of a smooth connected affine curve, defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$ of countable cardinality. Let $N$ be a normal (resp. characteristic) subgroup of…

For a finite group $G$ and an element $x\in G$, the subset $$ nil_G(x)=\{y\in G \mid <x,y>~~ is ~~ nilpotent\}$$ is called nilpotentizer of $x$ in $G$. In this paper, we give two solvabilty criteria for a finite group by the structure and…

We call an affine algebraic supergroup quasireductive if its underlying algebraic group is reductive. We obtain some results about the structure and representations of reductive supergroups.

In this paper we investigate some properties of the Burnside ring of a profinite group as defined in \cite{ds}. We introduce the notion of the crossed Burnside ring of a profinite FC-group, and generalise some results from finite to…

We describe a family of rational affine surfaces S with huge groups of automorphisms in the following sense: the normal subgroup of Aut(S) generated by all its algebraic subgroups is not generated by any countable family of such subgroups,…

There are various results in the literature which are part of the general philosophy that a finite group for which a certain parameter (for example, the number of conjugacy classes or the maximum number of elements inverted, squared or…

Universality has been an important concept in computable structure theory. A class $\mathcal{C}$ of structures is universal if, informally, for any structure, of any kind, there is a structure in $\mathcal{C}$ with the same…

Necessary and sufficient conditions for finite semihypergroups to be built from groups of the same order are established

We consider factorizations of a finite group $G$ into conjugate subgroups, $G=A^{x_{1}}\cdots A^{x_{k}}$ for $A\leq G$ and $x_{1},\ldots ,x_{k}\in G$, where $A$ is nilpotent or solvable. First we exploit the split $BN$-pair structure of…

We say that a group $G$ is of \textit{profinite type} if it can be realized as a Galois group of some field extension. Using Krull's theory, this is equivalent to the ability of $G$ to be equipped with a profinite topology. We also say that…

Let $(\mathcal{G},\Gamma)$ be an abstract graph of finite groups. If $\Gamma$ is finite, we can construct a profinite graph of groups in a natural way $(\hat{\mathcal{G}},\Gamma)$, where $\hat{\mathcal{G}}(m)$ is the profinite completion of…

A celebrated result of J. Thompson says that if a finite group $G$ has a fixed-point-free automorphism of prime order, then $G$ is nilpotent. The main purpose of this note is to extend this result to finite inverse semigroups. An earlier…

We note a parallel between some ideas of stable model theory and certain topics in finite combinatorics related to the sum-product phenomenon. For a simple linear group G, we show that a finite subset X with |X X \^{-1} X |/ |X| bounded is…

We prove that certain Fuchsian triangle groups are profinitely rigid in the absolute sense, i.e. each is distinguished from all other finitely generated, residually finite groups by its set of finite quotients. We also develop a method…

We say a group is finitely annihilated if it is the set-theoretic union of all its proper normal finite index subgroups. We investigate this new property, and observe that it is independent of several other well known group properties. For…

We study general nilpotent algebras. The results obtained are new even for the classical algebras, such as associative or Lie algebras. We single out certain generic properties of finite-dimensional algebras, mostly over infinite fields.…

The structure of finite and locally finite groups in which every element has prime power order (CP-groups) is well known. In this paper we note that the combination of our earlier results with the available information on the structure of…

We prove the following results: (1) Every group is a maximal subgroup of some free idempotent generated semigroup. (2) Every finitely presented group is a maximal subgroup of some free idempotent generated semigroup arising from a finite…
