We provide new computations in bounded cohomology: A group is boundedly acyclic if its bounded cohomology with trivial real coefficients is zero in all positive degrees. We show that there exists a continuum of finitely generated…

We present two uncountable families of finitely generated residually finite groups all having the same profinite completion. One consists of soluble groups, the other of branch groups.

A p-group is called powerful if every commutator is a product of pth powers when p is odd and a product of fourth powers when p=2. In the group algebra of a group G of p-power order over a finite field of characteristic p, the group of…

We give a new proof that there are arbitrarily large indecomposable abelian groups; moreover, the groups constructed are absolutely indecomposable, that is, they remain indecomposable in any generic extension. However, any absolutely rigid…

In this paper, we characterize finite group $G$ with unique proper non-abelian element centralizer. This improves \cite[Theorem 1.1]{nab}. Among other results, we have proved that if $C(a)$ is the proper non-abelian element centralizer of…

Assuming the existence of $\mathfrak c$ incomparable selective ultrafilters, we classify the non-torsion Abelian groups of cardinality $\mathfrak c$ that admit a countably compact group topology. We show that for each $\kappa \in [\mathfrak…

A group is said to be capable if it is the central factor of some group. In this paper, among other results we have characterized capable groups of order $p^2q$, for any distinct primes $p, q$, which extends Theorem 1.2 of S. Rashid, N. H.…

We show that if $A$ is a separable, simple and non-type I C$^{\ast}$ algebra, then for every properly infinite hyperfinite von Neumann algebra $M$ with separable predual, its Ocneanu ultrapower $M'\cap M^{\omega}$ arises as a sub-quotient…

Let $A$ be a non-metacyclic finite group. Suppose that $A$ acts coprimely on a finite group $G$ in such a manner that $C_G(a)$ is nilpotent for any $a\in A^{\#}$. In the present paper we investigate some conditions on $A$ which imply that…

Let $G$ be a finite group acting on $\mathbb{C}^N$. We study the problem of identifyng the class in $\mathbb{C}^N / G$ of a given signal: this encompasses several types of problems in signal processing. Some instances include certain…

We show that the Schur multiplier of a Noetherian group need not be finitely generated. We prove that the non-abelian tensor product of a polycyclic (resp. polycyclic-by-finite) group and a Noetherian group, is a polycyclic (resp.…

We study abstract finite groups with the property, called property $\hat{s}$, that all of their subrepresentations have submultiplicative spectra. Such groups are necessarily nilpotent and we focus on $p$-groups. $p$-groups with property…

In the present context, we investigate to obtain some more results about $2$-nilpotent multiplier $\mathcal{M}^{(2)}(L)$ of a finite dimensional nilpotent Lie algebra $L$. For instance, we characterize the structure of…

Kastermans proved that consistently $\bigoplus_{\aleph_1} \mathbb{Z}_2$ has a cofinitary representation. We present a short proof that $\bigoplus_{\mathfrak{c}} \mathbb{Z}_2$ always has an arithmetic cofinitary representation. Further, for…

Let A denote either the automorphism group of the free group of rank n>=4 or the mapping class group of an orientable surface of genus n>=12 with at most 1 boundary component, and let G be either the subgroup of IA-automorphisms or the…

Let $m,n$ be positive integers and $p$ a prime. We denote by $\nu(G)$ an extension of the non-abelian tensor square $G \otimes G$ by $G \times G$. We prove that if $G$ is a residually finite group satisfying some non-trivial identity $f…

It is easy to see that if $\cG$ is a non-abelian group of unitary matrices, then for no members $A$ and $B$ of $\cG$ can the rank of $AB-BA$ be one. We examine the consequences of the assumption that this rank is at most two for a general…

An action of a locally compact group or quantum group on a factor is said to be strictly outer when the relative commutant of the factor in the crossed product is trivial. We show that all locally compact quantum groups can act strictly…

We give a solution stated in the title to problem 3 of part 1 of the problems listed in the book of Eklof and Mekler [EM],(p.453). There, in pp. 241-242, this is discussed and proved in some cases. The existence of strongly lambda-free ones…

The complex algebra of an inverse semigroup with finitely many idempotents in each $\mathcal D$-class is stably finite by a result of Munn. This can be proved fairly easily using $C^*$-algebras for inverse semigroups satisfying this…
