It is now known that for any prime p and any finite semiabelian p-group G, there exists a (tame) realization of G as a Galois group over the rationals Q with exactly d = d(G) ramified primes, where d(G) is the minimal number of generators…
Let p be a prime number. It is not known if every finite p-group of rank n>1 can be realized as a Galois group over Q with no more than n ramified primes. We prove that this can be done for the family of finite p-groups which contains all…
Let p be a prime. We prove that if a finite group G has non-abelian Sylow p-subgroups, and the class size of every p-element in G is coprime to p; then G contains a simple group as a subquotient which exhibits the same property. In addition…
In this paper, we completely classify the finite $p$-groups $G$ such that $\Phi(G')G_3\le C_p^2$, $\Phi(G')G_3\le Z(G)$ and $G/\Phi(G')G_3$ is minimal non-abelian. This paper is a part of the classification of finite $p$-groups with a…
The minimal ramification problem may be considered as a quantitative version of the inverse Galois problem. For a nontrivial finite group $G$, let $m(G)$ be the minimal integer $m$ for which there exists a Galois extension $N/\mathbb{Q}$…
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…
We study the equivariant orbifold birational classification problem for families of toroidal compactifications of a group $G$ over a toroidal base, in the cases where $G$ is an algebraic torus or a semiabelian scheme. The classification is…
A topological group is minimal if it does not admit a strictly coarser Hausdorff group topology. We provide a sufficient and necessary condition for the minimality of the semidirect product $G\leftthreetimes P,$ where $G$ is a compact…
We exhibit a family of infinite, finitely-presented, nilpotent-by-abelian groups. Each member of this family is a solvable S-arithmetic group that is related to Baumslag-Solitar groups, and everyone of these groups has a quasi-isometry…
Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. Let $G$ be $Z/\ell Z$ semi-direct product $Z/pZ$ where $\ell$ is a prime distinct from $p$. In this paper, we study Galois covers $\psi:Z \to P^1_k$ ramified only over…
In this paper, we finished the classification of three-generator finite $p$-groups $G$ such that $\Phi(G)\le Z(G)$. This paper is a part of classification of finite $p$-groups with a minimal non-abelian subgroup of index $p$, and partly…
Let $p$ be a prime. A $p$-group $G$ is defined to be semi-extraspecial if for every maximal subgroup $N$ in $Z(G)$ the quotient $G/N$ is a an extraspecial group. In addition, we say that $G$ is ultraspecial if $G$ is semi-extraspecial and…
The equational probabilistic spectrum of a finite algebra is the set of probabilities with which equations are satisfied in the algebra. We study algebras with minimal spectrum, that is, spectra consisting only of the values $1$ and…
Let $K$ be a $p$-adically closed field and $G$ a group interpretable in $K$. We show that if $G$ is definably semisimple (i.e. $G$ has no definable infinite normal abelian subgroups) then there exists a finite normal subgroup $H$ such that…
Let G be a connected reductive group defined over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p > 0. The purpose of this paper is two-fold. First, when p is a good prime, we give a new proof of the ``order formula'' of D. Testerman…
We prove a cohomological property for a class of finite $p$-groups introduced earlier by M. Y. Xu, which we call semi-abelian $p$-groups. This result implies that a semi-abelian $p$-group has non-inner automorphisms of order $p$, which…
We study locally compact groups having all subgroups minimal. We call such groups hereditarily minimal. In 1972 Prodanov proved that the infinite hereditarily minimal compact abelian groups are precisely the groups $\mathbb Z_p$ of $p$-adic…
An automorphism $\alpha$ of a group $G$ is said to be central if $\alpha$ commutes with every inner automorphism of $G$. We construct a family of non-special finite $p$-groups having abelian automorphism groups. These groups provide counter…
We show that every quasitrivial n-ary semigroup is reducible to a binary semigroup, and we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for such a reduction to be unique. These results are then refined in the case of symmetric n-ary…
We prove a decomposition of definable groups in o-minimal structures generalizing the Jordan-Chevalley decomposition of linear algebraic groups. It follows that any definable linear group G is a semidirect product of its maximal normal…
