Let $G$ be a finite group and $\sigma=\{\sigma_{i}|i\in I\}$ be a partition of the set of all primes $\mathbb{P}$, that is, $\mathbb{P}=\bigcup_{i\in I}\sigma_{i}$ and $\sigma_{i}\cap \sigma_{j}=\emptyset$ for all $i\neq j$. A chief factor…

We give an algorithm that decides whether a single equation in a group that is virtually a class $2$ nilpotent group with a virtually cyclic commutator subgroup, such as the Heisenberg group, admits a solution. This generalises the work of…

According to Li, Nicholson and Zan, a group $G$ is said to be morphic if, for every pair $N_{1}, N_{2}$ of normal subgroups, each of the conditions $G/N_{1} \cong N_{2}$ and $G/N_{2} \cong N_{1}$ implies the other. Finite, homocyclic…

We give an explicit list of all p-groups G with a cyclic subgroup of index p^2, such that the group algebra KG over the field K of characteristic p has a filtered multiplicative K-basis. We also proved that such a K-basis does not exist for…

Let $G$ be the generalized free product of two groups with an amalgamated subgroup. We propose an approach that allows one to use results on the residual $p$-finiteness of $G$ for proving that this generalized free product is residually a…

Suppose that a finite group $G$ admits a Frobenius group of automorphisms FH of coprime order with cyclic kernel F and complement H such that the fixed point subgroup $C_G(H)$ of the complement is nilpotent of class $c$. It is proved that…

We initiate the study of profinite groups of non-negative deficiency. The principal focus of the paper is to show that the existence of a finitely generated normal subgroup of infinite index in a profinite group $G$ of non-negative…

A pro-p Cappitt group is a pro-p group G such that the subgroup topologically generated by all non-normal closed subgroups is a proper subgroup of G. In this paper we prove that non-abelian pro-p Cappitt groups whose torsion subgroup is…

Given a discrete (resp. profinite) group $G$, we define $NCC(G)$ to be the smallest number of cyclic (resp. procyclic) subgroups of $G$ whose conjugates cover $G$. In this paper we determine all residually finite discrete groups with finite…

In this paper we introduce and study the concept of cyclic factorization number of a finite group G. By using the Mobius inversion formula and other methods involving the cyclic subgroup structure, this is explicitly computed for some…

In this paper, we set $\eta (G)$ to be the number of conjugacy classes of maximal cyclic subgroups of a finite group $G$. We compute $\eta (G)$ for all metacyclic $p$-groups. We show that if $G$ is a metacyclic $p$-group of order $p^n$ that…

If $G$ be a finite $p$-group and $\chi$ is a non-linear irreducible character of $G$, then $\chi(1)\leq |G/Z(G)|^{\frac{1}{2}}$. In \cite{fernandez2001groups}, Fern\'{a}ndez-Alcober and Moret\'{o} obtained the relation between the character…

Let $G$ be any group. The quotient group $T(G)$ of the multiple holomorph by the holomorph of $G$ has been investigated for various families of groups $G$. In this paper, we shall take $G$ to be a finite $p$-group of class two for any odd…

We show that any soluble group $G$ of type Bredon-$\FP_{\infty}$ with respect to the family of all virtually cyclic subgroups such that centralizers of infinite order elements are of type $\FP_{\infty}$ must be virtually cyclic. To prove…

It is shown that in the units of augmentation one of an integral group ring $\mathbb{Z} G$ of a finite group $G$, a noncyclic subgroup of order $p^{2}$, for some odd prime $p$, exists only if such a subgroup exists in $G$. The corresponding…

Let $G$ be a finite non-cyclic group. The non-cyclic graph $\Gamma_G$ of $G$ is the graph whose vertex set is $G\setminus Cyc(G)$, two distinct vertices being adjacent if they do not generate a cyclic subgroup, where $Cyc(G)=\{a\in G:…

Suppose that a metacyclic Frobenius group $FH$, with kernel $F$ and complement $H$, acts by automorphisms on a finite group $G$, in such a way that $C_G(F)$ is trivial and $C_G(H)$ is nilpotent. It is known that $G$ is nilpotent and its…

Let $G$ be a group. We denote by $\nu(G)$ a certain extension of the non-abelian tensor square $[G,G^{\varphi}]$ by $G \times G$. We prove that if $G$ is a finite potent $p$-group, then $[G,G^{\varphi}]$ and the $k$-th term of the lower…

We show that if G is a nontrivial, finite group of odd order, whose commutator subgroup [G,G] is cyclic of order p^m q^n, where p and q are prime, then every connected Cayley graph on G has a hamiltonian cycle.
