Let $m,n$ be positive integers. Suppose that $G$ is a residually finite group in which for every element $x \in G$ there exists a positive integer $q=q(x) \leqslant m$ such that $x^q$ is $n$-Engel. We show that $G$ is locally virtually…

The nilpotent graph of a group $G$ is the simple and undirected graph whose vertices are the elements of $G$ and two distinct vertices are adjacent if they generate a nilpotent subgroup of $G$. Here we discuss some topological properties of…

It is proven that if $G$ is a finite group, then $G^\omega$ has $2^{\mathfrak c}$ dense nonmeasurable subgroups. Also, other examples of compact groups with dense nonmeasurable subgroups are presented.

Following J.S. Rose, a subgroup H of a group G is said contranormal in G if G = H^G . In a certain sense, contranormal subgroups are antipodes to subnormal subgroups. It is well known that a finite group is nilpotent if and only if it has…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $\sigma=\{\sigma_{i}|i\in I\}$ be a partition of the set of all primes $\mathbb{P}$, that is, $\mathbb{P}=\bigcup_{i\in I}\sigma_{i}$ and $\sigma_{i}\cap \sigma_{j}=\emptyset$ for all $i\neq j$. A chief factor…

We prove that if $G$ and $H$ are finite metacyclic groups with isomorphic rational group algebras and one of them is nilpotent then $G$ and $H$ are isomorphic.

Let $A$ and $G$ be finite groups such that $A$ acts coprimely on $G$ by automorphisms, assume that $G$ has a maximal $A$-invariant subgroup $M$ that is a direct product of some isomorphic simple groups, we prove that if $G$ has a…

We show that a finitely generated soluble group is virtually nilpotent if and only if the diameter of its finite coset spaces admits a uniform polynomial lower bound in terms of their size. We obtain the same conclusion for certain finitely…

We examine Hilbert-Schmidt stability (HS-stability) of discrete amenable groups from several angles. We give a short, elementary proof that finitely generated nilpotent groups are HS-stable. We investigate the permanence of HS-stability…

In this paper, several theorems of Macdonald \cite{Mac1961,Mac1962} on the varieties of nilpotent groups will be generalized to the case of Lie rings. We consider three varieties of Lie rings of any characteristic associated with some…

Suppose that $G$ is a finite group and $H$ is a nilpotent subgroup of $G$. If a character of $H$ induces an irreducible character of $G$, then the generalized Fitting subgroup of $G$ is nilpotent.

In this paper, we introduce a class of rings in which every nilpotent element is central. This class of rings generalizes so-called reduced rings. A ring $R$ is called {\it central reduced} if every nilpotent element of $R$ is central. For…

We prove that 5-Engel Lie algebras over a field of characteristic zero, or over a field of prime characteristic $p>7$, are nilpotent of class at most 11. We also prove that if $G$ is a finite 5-Engel $p$-group for $p>7$ then $G$ is…

In this paper we study the residual solvability of the generalized free product of finitely generated nilpotent groups. We show that these kinds of structures are often residually solvable.

{Generalizing the notion of nil cleanness from \cite{D13}, in parallel to \cite{DM14}, we define the concept of {\it weak nil cleanness} for an arbitrary ring. Its comprehensive study in different ways is provided as well. A decomposition…

In a finite group G, we consider nilpotent weights, and prove a pi-version of the Alperin Weight Conjecture for certain pi-separable groups. This widely generalizes an earlier result by I. M. Isaacs and the first author.

We obtain a characterization of the binary commutator on completely simple semigroups, using their Rees matrix representation. Consequently, we prove that a regular semigroup is nilpotent (solvable) if and only if it is simple, and all its…

In this paper we give a complete algebraic description of groups elementarily equivalent to a given free nilpotent group of finite rank.

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 study finite groups $G$ with elements $g$ such that $\lvert \mathbf{C}_G(g)\rvert = \lvert G:G' \rvert$. (Such elements generalize fixed-point-free automorphisms of finite groups.) We show that these groups have a unique conjugacy class…
