An $integral$ of a group $G$ is a group $H$ whose derived group (commutator subgroup) is isomorphic to $G$. This paper discusses integrals of groups, and in particular questions about which groups have integrals and how big or small those…

A group G is almost cyclic if there is an element x in G, such that for all g in G, there is an element y in G and an integer n with ygy^{-1} = x^n (that is, every element is conjugate to some power of x). W. Ziller asked whether there are…

The Chermak-Delgado lattice of a finite group is a modular, self-dual sublattice of the lattice of subgroups of $G$. The least element of the Chermak-Delgado lattice of $G$ is known as the Chermak-Delgado subgroup of $G$. This paper…

Suppose that $G$ is a finite group and $H$ is a subgroup of $G$. We say that $H$ is s-semipermutable in $G$ if $HG_p = G_pH$ for any Sylow $p$-subgroup $G_p$ of $G$ with $(p, |H|) = 1$. We investigate the influence of s-semipermutable…

Let ${\frak F}$ be a class of group and $G$ a finite group. Then a set $\Sigma $ of subgroups of $G$ is called a \emph{$G$-covering subgroup system} for the class ${\frak F}$ if $G\in {\frak F}$ whenever $\Sigma \subseteq {\frak F}$. We…

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…

In this article, we compare two different notions of partially defined group strutures, namely partial groups and pregroups, as introduced by Chermak and Stallings respectively. In particular we prove that the category of pregroups can be…

Let G be a finite group and S a subset of G\{0}. We call S an additive basis of G if every element of G can be expressed as a sum over a nonempty subset in some order. Let cr(G) be the smallest integer t such that every subset of G\{0} of…

For a finite group $G$ denote by $\gamma(L(G))$ the genus of the subgroup graph of $G.$ We prove that $\gamma(L(G))$ tends to infinity as either the rank of $G$ or the number of prime divisors of $|G|$ tends to infinity.

For a finite group $G$, let $\sigma(G)$ be the number of subgroups of $G$ and $\sigma_\iota(G)$ the number of isomorphism types of subgroups of $G$. Let $L=L_r(p^e)$ denote a simple group of Lie type, rank $r$, over a field of order $p^e$…

A finite group is said to be $n$-cyclic if it contains $n$ cyclic subgroups. For a finite group $G$, the ratio of the number of cyclic subgroups to the number of subgroups is known as the cyclicity degree of the group $G$ and is denoted by…

Consider a compact connected Lie group $G$ and the corresponding Lie algebra $\cal L$. Let $\{X_1,...,X_m\}$ be a set of generators for the Lie algebra $\cal L$. We prove that $G$ is uniformly finitely generated by $\{X_1,...,X_m\}$. This…

A topological group $G$ is called an $M_\omega$-group if it admits a countable cover $\K$ by closed metrizable subspaces of $G$ such that a subset $U$ of $G$ is open in $G$ if and only if $U\cap K$ is open in $K$ for every $K\in\K$. It is…

In a finite group, a subset is called a Lagrange subset if its size divides the group order, and a factor if it admits a complementary subset. We provide a new and comparatively direct proof of the classification of groups in which every…

A primary covering of a finite group $G$ is a family of proper subgroups of $G$ whose union contains the set of elements of $G$ having order a prime power. We denote with $\sigma_0(G)$ the smallest size of a primary covering of $G$, and…

A (left) Engel sink of an element g of a group G is a subset containing all sufficiently long commutators [...[[x,g],g],...,g], where x ranges over G. We prove that if p is a prime and G a finite group in which, for some positive integer m,…

A finite group $G$ admits an {\em oriented regular representation} if there exists a Cayley digraph of $G$ such that it has no digons and its automorphism group is isomorphic to $G$. Let $m$ be a positive integer. In this paper, we extend…

Let $M$ be a maximal subgroup of a finite group $G$ and $K/L$ be a chief factor such that $L\leq M$ while $K\nsubseteq M$. We call the group $M\cap K/L$ a $c$\ns section of $M$. And we define $Sec(M)$ to be the abstract group that is…

We consider the class $\mathfrak M$ of $\bf R$--modules where $\bf R$ is an associative ring. Let $A$ be a module over a group ring $\bf R$$G$ where $G$ is a group and let $\mathfrak L(G)$ be a set of all proper subgroups of $G$ such that…

Given a finite non-cyclic group $G$, call $\sigma(G)$ the smallest number of proper subgroups of $G$ needed to cover $G$. Lucchini and Detomi conjectured that if a nonabelian group $G$ is such that $\sigma(G) < \sigma(G/N)$ for every…
