It is shown that for a solvable subgroup $G$ of an almost simple group $S$ which socle is isomorphic to $A_n$ $ (n\ge5)$ there are $x,y,z,t \in S$ such that $G \cap G^x \cap G^y \cap G^z \cap G^t =1.$

Let G be a reductive group over a commutative ring R. We say that G has isotropic rank >=n, if every normal semisimple reductive R-subgroup of G contains (G_m)^n. We prove that if G has isotropic rank >=1 and R is a regular domain…

We give a complete classification of complex hyperbolic $(n_1, n_2, n_3)$-triangle groups by types defined according to the ellipticity of two particular words of short length. This improves the Schwartz conjecture proved by Grossi.

A group $G$ is said to be $\frac{3}{2}$-generated if every nontrivial element belongs to a generating pair. It is easy to see that if $G$ has this property then every proper quotient of $G$ is cyclic. In this paper we prove that the…

For any odd prime $p$, the Galois group of the maximal unramified pro-$p$-extension of an imaginary quadratic field is a Schur $\sigma$-group. But Schur $\sigma$-groups can also be constructed and studied abstractly. We prove that if $p>3$,…

Given a group-word w and a group G, the verbal subgroup w(G) is the one generated by all w-values in G. The word w is called concise if w(G) is finite whenever the set of w-values in G is finite. It is an open question whether every word is…

Let $G$ be a group and $g$ a non-trivial element in $G$. If some non-empty finite product of conjugates of $g$ equals to the identity, then $g$ is called a generalized torsion element. The minimum number of conjugates in such a product is…

It has been recently proved (by Croot, Lev and Pach and the subsequent work by Ellenberg and Gijswijt) that for a group $G=G_0^n$, where $G_0\ne \{1,-1\}^m$ is a fixed finite Abelian group and $n$ is large, any subset $A$ without…

We continue our work (started in ``Multiplicity-free representations of algebraic groups", arXiv:2101.04476), on the program of classifying triples $(X,Y,V)$, where $X,Y$ are simple algebraic groups over an algebraically closed field of…

We determine which faithful irreducible representations $V$ of a simple linear algebraic group $G$ are generically free for Lie($G$), i.e., which $V$ have an open subset consisting of vectors whose stabilizer in Lie($G$) is zero. This…

It is proved that every group of the form $G=AB$ with two subgroups $A$ and $B$ each of which is either abelian or has a quasicyclic subgroup of index $2$ is soluble of derived length at most $3$. In particular, if $A$ is abelian and $B$ is…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed base field of characteristic $0$ and let $\alpha_{1}, \alpha_{2}, \alpha_{3}, d \geq 2$ be integers such that $\alpha_{1}, \alpha_{2}, \alpha_{3}$ are pairwise coprime and $gcd (\alpha_{1},d-1) = 1$. Then…

The known facts about solvability of equations over groups are considered from a more general point of view. A generalized version of the theorem about solvability of unimodular equations over torsion-free groups is proved. In a special…

A result of Gersten states that if $G$ is a hyperbolic group with integral cohomological dimension $\mathsf{cd}_{\mathbb{Z}}(G)=2$ then every finitely presented subgroup is hyperbolic. We generalize this result for the rational case…

Let G be a finitely generated linear group over a field of characteristic 0. Suppose that every solvable subgroup of G is polycyclic. Then the claim is made that any solvable subgroup of G is separable. This is proven for G=SL_n(Z).…

It is one of the wonderful ``coincidences'' of the theory of finite groups that the simple group G of order 25920 arises as both a symplectic group in characteristic 3 and a unitary group in characteristic 2. These two realizations of G…

Given a finite group $G$, we denote by $\nu(G)$ the probability that two randomly chosen elements of $G$ generate a nilpotent subgroup. We prove that if $\nu(G)>1/12,$ then $G$ is solvable.

Let $G$ be a dp-minimal group; we prove some consequences of several different hypotheses on $G$. First, if $G$ is torsion-free, then it is abelian. Second, if $G$ admits a distal f-generic type, then it is virtually nilpotent; we prove…

Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, and let $G$ be a connected reductive algebraic group over $K$. We address the problem of classifying triples $(G,H,V)$, where $H$ is a proper connected subgroup of $G$, and…

Let $ x $ be an element of a finite group $ G $ and denote the order of $ x $ by $ \mathrm{ord}(x) $. We consider a finite group $ G $ such that $ \gcd(\mathrm{ord}(x),\mathrm{ord}(y))\leqslant 2 $ for any two vanishing elements $ x $ and $…
