It is proved that the derived subgroup of a finite group is nilpotent if and only if $|ab|\ge |a||b|$ for all primary commutators $a$ and $b$ of coprime orders.

Let $G$ be a finite abelian group and $D(G)$ denote the Davenport constant of $G$. We derive new upper bound for the Davenport constant for all groups of rank three. Our main result is that: $$D(C_{n_1}\oplus C_{n_2}\oplus C_{n_3})\le…

We study dp-minimal infinite profinite groups that are equipped with a uniformly definable fundamental system of open subgroups. We show that these groups have an open subgroup $A$ such that either $A$ is a direct product of countably many…

We present a new algorithm deciding if the intersection of a quasiconvex subgroup of a negatively curved group with a conjugate is finite. We also give a short proof of decidability of the membership problem for quasiconvex subgroups of…

Let K >= 1 be a parameter. A K-approximate group is a finite set A in a (local) group which contains the identity, is symmetric, and such that A^2 is covered by K left translates of A. The main result of this paper is a qualitative…

Let $G$ be a finite abelian group. We show that its Davenport constant $D(G)$ satisfies $D(G)\leq \exp(G)+\frac{|G|}{\exp(G)}-1$, provided that $\exp(G)\geq\sqrt{|G|}$, and $D(G)\leq 2\sqrt{|G|}-1$, if $\exp(G)<\sqrt{|G|}$. This proves a…

In this paper we study the states of Poisson type and infinitely divisible states on compact quantum groups. Each state of Poisson type is infinitely divisible, i.e., it admits $n$-th root for all $n\geq1$. The main result is that on finite…

Hardy's type uncertainty principle on connected nilpotent Lie groups for the Fourier transform is proved. An analogue of Hardy's theorem for Gabor transform has been established for connected and simply connected nilpotent Lie groups.…

Thompson's theorem stated that a finite group $G$ is solvable if and only if every $2$-generated subgroup of $G$ is solvable. In this paper, we prove some new criteria for both solvability and nilpotency of a finite group using certain…

Let $G$ be a finite abelian group of exponent $n$ and let $A$ be a non-empty subset of $[1,n-1]$. The Davenport constant of $G$ with weight $A$, denoted by $D_A(G)$, is defined to be the least positive integer $\ell$ such that any sequence…

We present a generalization of Hirschman's entropic uncertainty principle for locally compact abelian groups to unimodular locally compact quantum groups. As a corollary, we strengthen a well-known uncertainty principle for compact groups,…

We present a general fixed point theorem which can be seen as the quintessence of the principles of proof for Banach's Fixed Point Theorem, ultrametric and certain topological fixed point theorems. It works in a minimal setting, not…

Let $D(G)$ be the Davenport constant of a finite Abelian group $G$. For a positive integer $m$ (the case $m = 1$, is the classical one) let ${\mathsf E}_m(G)$ (or $\eta_m(G)$, respectively) be the least positive integer $t$ such that every…

This article is devoted to completing some aspects of the classical Cauchy-Lipschitz (or Picard-Lindel\"of) theory for general nonlinear systems posed on time scales, that are closed subsets of the set of real numbers. Partial results do…

For a finite abelian group $G$ and a positive integer $k$, let $\mathsf{D}_k(G)$ denote the smallest integer $\ell$ such that each sequence over $G$ of length at least $\ell$ has $k$ disjoint nontrivial zero-sum subsequences. It is known…

We prove:(1) the existence, for every integer n > 3, of a noncompact smooth n-dimensional topological manifold whose diffeomorphism group contains an isomorphic copy of every finitely presented group; (2) a finiteness theorem on finite…

A group is small if it has countably many complete $n$-types over the empty set for each natural number n. More generally, a group $G$ is weakly small if it has countably many complete 1-types over every finite subset of G. We show here…

We prove a general solvable subgroup theorem in terms of length functions. As applications, we obtain a solvable subgroup theorem in dynamical systems: any solvable group of finite Hirsch length acting on a smooth manifold with uniformly…

We prove a Desch-Schappacher type perturbation theorem for one-parameter semigroups on Banach spaces which are not strongly continuous for the norm, but possess a weaker continuity property. In this paper we chose to work in the framework…

Walker's cancellation theorem says that if B+Z is isomorphic to C+Z in the category of abelian groups, then B is isomorphic to C. We construct an example in a diagram category of abelian groups where the theorem fails. As a consequence, the…
