The spectrum $\omega(G)$ of a finite group $G$ is the set of orders of its elements. The following sufficient criterion of nonsolvability is proved: if among the prime divisors of the order of a group $G$, there are four different primes…
A group $\Gamma$ is said to be periodic if for any $g$ in $\Gamma$ there is a positive integer $n$ with $g^n=id$. We first prove that a finitely generated periodic group acting on the 2-sphere $\SS^2$ by $C^1$-diffeomorphisms with a finite…
Let $G$ be a group. The orbits of the natural action of $\mbox{Aut}(G)$ on $G$ are called "automorphism orbits" of $G$, and the number of automorphism orbits of $G$ is denoted by $\omega(G)$. In this paper the finite nonsolvable groups $G$…
This is the third and last of three papers containing the complete proof that all finitely presented groups are QSF.
We generalize Hrushovski's group configuration theorem to the case where the type of the configuration is generically stable, without assuming tameness of the ambient theory. The properties of generically stable types, which we recall in…
In this paper homology stability for unitary groups over a ring with finite unitary stable rank is established. Homology stability of symplectic groups and orthogonal groups appears as a special case of our results.
In this note we prove that every finite collection of connected algebraic subgroups of the group of triangular automorphisms of the affine space generates a connected solvable algebraic subgroup.
We present an algorithm that decides whether a finitely generated linear group over an infinite field is solvable-by-finite: a computationally effective version of the Tits alternative. We also give algorithms to decide whether the group is…
In this paper, we study the structures of finite groups using some arithmetic conditions on the sizes of real conjugacy classes. We prove that a finite group is solvable if the prime graph on the real class sizes of the group is…
We give new characterizations of sofic groups: -- A group $G$ is sofic if and only if it is a subgroup of a quotient of a direct product of alternating or symmetric groups. -- A group $G$ is sofic if and only if any system of equations…
We prove that if K is an infinite stable field whose generic type has weight 1 then K is separably closed. We also obtain partial results when the generic of K has finite weight and when K is strongly stable.
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.
We construct an uncountable family of periodic locally soluble groups which are hereditarily just infinite. We also show that the associated full C*-algebra C*(G) is just infinite for many groups $G$ in this family.
We prove that the subgroup graph of a finite group $G$ is regular if and only if $G$ is cyclic with square-free order.
We prove that every finitely generated residually finite group $G$ can be embedded in a finitely generated branch group $\Gamma$ such that two elements in $G$ are conjugate in $G$ if and only if they are conjugate in $\Gamma$. As an…
In this paper we prove that every finite group $G$ can be realized as the group of self-homotopy equivalences of infinitely many elliptic spaces $X$. Moreover, $X$ can be chosen to be the rationalization of an inflexible compact simply…
We show that the fundamental group of any smooth subelliptic variety is finite. Moreover, it is also proved that every finite group can be realized as the fundamental group of a smooth subelliptic variety. As a consequence, it follows that…
(On the fundamental group of rationnally connected varieties.) I show that the fundamental group of a normal variety which is rationally chain connected is finite. The proof holds in non-zero characteristic. Je d\'emontre que le groupe…
We prove that the isomorphism problem for finitely generated fully residually free groups is decidable. We also show that each finitely generated fully residually free group G has a decomposition that is invariant under automorphisms of G,…
It is proved that every finitely generated profinite group with fewer than $2^{\aleph_0}$ conjugacy classes of elements of infinite order is finite
