We show that a finitely generated soluble group is virtually nilpotent if and only if the diameter of its finite coset spaces admits a uniform polynomial lower bound in terms of their size. We obtain the same conclusion for certain finitely…
Let $\mathfrak{Nil}$ be the class of nilpotent groups and $G$ be a group. We call $G$ a meta-$\mathfrak{Nil}$-Hamiltonian group if any of its non-$\mathfrak{Nil}$ subgroups is normal. Also, we call $G$ a para-$\mathfrak{Nil}$-Hamiltonian…
We present a structural description of finite nilpotent groups of class at most $2$ using a specified number of subdirect and central products of $2$-generated such groups. As a corollary, we show that all of these groups are isomorphic to…
A variety of groups does not contain all metabelian groups if and only if there is an absolute bound for the nilpotency classes of powerful $p$-groups in the given variety. Similarly, a variety contains only finitely many finite $p$-groups…
A theorem of Z. Arad and E. Fisman establishes that if $A$ and $B$ are two conjugacy classes of a finite group $G$ such that either $AB=A\cup B$ or $AB=A^{-1} \cup B$, then $G$ cannot be non-abelian simple. We demonstrate that, in fact,…
In the paper autonilpotent groups were characterized as groups $G$ such that $\mathrm{Aut}G$ stabilizes some chain of subgroups of $G$. It was shown that a $p$-group is autonilpotent if and only if its group of automorphisms is also a…
The famous Tits' alternative states that a linear group either contains a nonabelian free group or is soluble-by-(locally finite). We study in this paper similar alternatives in pseudofinite groups. We show for instance that an…
We provide an explicit construction for a complete set of orthogonal primitive idempotents of finite group algebras over nilpotent groups. Furthermore, we give a complete set of matrix units in each simple epimorphic image of a finite group…
An abelian group $A$ is said to be cancellable if whenever $A \oplus G$ is isomorphic to $A \oplus H$, $G$ is isomorphic to $H$. We show that the index set of cancellable rank 1 torsion-free abelian groups is $\Pi^0_4$ $m$-complete, showing…
A finite group $G$ is said to have the nilpotent decomposition property (ND) if for every nilpotent element $\alpha$ of the integral group ring $\mathbb{Z}[G]$ one has that $\alpha e$ also belong to $\mathbb{Z}[G]$, for every primitive…
In this paper, we study nilpotent $\mathbb{Q}$$[x]$-powered groups that satisfy the following property: For some set of primes $\omega$ in $\mathbb{Q}$$[x]$, every $\omega '$-isolated $\mathbb{Q}$$[x]$-subgroup in some family of its…
Let $G$ be a finite permutation group on $\Omega$. An ordered sequence $(\omega_1,\ldots,\omega_\ell)$ of elements of $\Omega$ is an irredundant base for $G$ if the pointwise stabilizer is trivial and no point is fixed by the stabilizer of…
Suppose $G$ is a $\mathcal{T}$-group (finitely generated torsion-free nilpotent) with centralizers outside of the derived subgroup being abelian of rank equal to $\text{rank}(Z_1)+1$. This includes the class of free nilpotent groups…
We characterize the nil clean matrix rings over fields. As a by product, it is proved that the full matrix rings with coefficients in commutative nil-clean rings are nil-clean, and we obtain a complete characterization of the finite rank…
In this paper we consider two functions related to the arithmetic and geometric means of element orders of a finite group, showing that certain lower bounds on such functions strongly affect the group structure. In particular, for every…
Hans Zassenhaus conjectured that every torsion unit of the integral group ring of a finite group $G$ is conjugate within the rational group algebra to an element of the form $\pm g$ with $g\in G$. This conjecture has been disproved recently…
An important classical result in ZFC asserts that every infinite cardinal number is idempotent. Using this fact, we obtain several algebraic results in this article. The first result asserts that an infinite Abelian group has a proper…
Let $p>2$ be a prime, $k$ a finite field of characteristic $p$, and $G$ a nilpotent-by-finite compact $p$-adic analytic group. Write $kG$ for the completed group ring of $G$ over $k$. We show that $kG$ is a catenary ring.
Let $g$ be an element of a group $G$. For a positive integer $n$, let $E_n(g)$ be the subgroup generated by all commutators $[...[[x,g],g],\dots ,g]$ over $x\in G$, where $g$ is repeated $n$ times. We prove that if $G$ is a profinite group…
Let $G$ be a finite group and $\pi$ be a set of primes. We study finite groups with a large number of conjugacy classes of $\pi$-elements. In particular, we obtain precise lower bounds for this number in terms of the $\pi$-part of the order…
