Let p be a prime. We prove that if a finite group G has non-abelian Sylow p-subgroups, and the class size of every p-element in G is coprime to p; then G contains a simple group as a subquotient which exhibits the same property. In addition…
We show that it is consistent with ZFC that every compact group has a non-Haar-measurable subgroup. In addition, we demonstrate a natural construction, and we conjecture that this construction always produces a non-measurable subgroup of a…
A topological space is reversible if each continuous bijection of it onto itself is open. We introduce an analogue of this notion in the category of topological groups: A topological group G is g-reversible if every continuous automorphism…
Let $G$ be a group. We denote by $\nu(G)$ a certain extension of the non-abelian tensor square $[G,G^{\varphi}]$ by $G \times G$. We prove that if $G$ is a finite potent $p$-group, then $[G,G^{\varphi}]$ and the $k$-th term of the lower…
A locally compact group G is said to be Hermitian if every selfadjoint element of L^1(G) has real spectrum. Using Halmos' notion of capacity in Banach algebras and a result of Jenkins, Fountain, Ramsay and Williamson we will put a bound on…
Let R denote the smallest class of compact spaces containing all metric compacta and closed under limits of continuous inverse sequences of retractions. Class R is striclty larger than the class of Valdivia compact spaces. We show that…
This paper is devoted to the more elementary aspects of the contramodule story, and can be viewed as an extended introduction to the more technically complicated arXiv:1503.05523. Reduced cotorsion abelian groups form an abelian category,…
Let $\Gamma$ be a finite group acting on a Lie group $G$. We consider a class of group extensions $1 \to G \to \hat{G} \to \Gamma \to 1$ defined by this action and a $2$-cocycle of $\Gamma$ with values in the centre of $G$. We establish and…
Let $F$ be a non-Archimedean locally compact field, let $G$ be a split connected reductive group over $F$. For a parabolic subgroup $Q\subset G$ and a ring $L$ we consider the $G$-representation on the $L$-module$$(*)\quad\quad\quad\quad…
We study limit models in the class of abelian groups with the subgroup relation and in the class of torsion-free abelian groups with the pure subgroup relation. We show: $\textbf{Theorem}$ (1) If $G$ is a limit model of cardinality…
Let $G$ be an infinite locally compact group and $\aleph$ a cardinal satisfying $\aleph_0\le\aleph\le w(G)$ for the weight $w(G)$ of $G$. It is shown that there is a closed subgroup $N$ of $G$ with $w(N)=\aleph$. Sample consequences are:…
We show that for the family of complex reflection groups $G=G(m,p,2)$ appearing in the Shephard--Todd classification, the endomorphism ring of the reduced hyperplane arrangement $A(G)$ is a non-commutative resolution for the coordinate ring…
Is every locally compact abelian group which admits a symplectic self-duality isomorphic to the product of a locally compact abelian group and its Pontryagin dual? Several sufficient conditions, covering all the typical applications are…
In this paper we give an example of a proper standard C*-algebra (a proper C*-subalgebra of B(H) containing C(H)) whose automorphism and isometry groups are topologically reflexive. Furthermore, we prove that in the case of extensions of…
For an abelian topological group G let G^* denote the dual group of all continuous characters endowed with the compact open topology. Given a closed subset X of an infinite compact abelian group G such that w(X) < w(G) and an open…
Let $G$ be a torsionfree compact $p$-adic analytic group. We give sufficient conditions on $p$ and $G$ which ensure that the Iwasawa algebra $\Omega_G$ of $G$ has no non-trivial two-sided reflexive ideals. Consequently, these conditions…
We use geometry of Davis complex of a Coxeter group to prove the following result: if G is an infinite indecomposable Coxeter group and $H\subset G$ is a finite index reflection subgroup then the rank of H is not less than the rank of G.…
Given a group $G$, its lattice of subgroups $\mathcal{L}(G)$ can be viewed as a simplicial complex in a natural way. The inclusion of $1_G, G \in \mathcal{L}(G)$ implies that $\mathcal{L}(G)$ is contractible, and so we study the topology of…
A paratopological group $G$ is saturated if the inverse $U^{-1}$ of each non-empty set $U\subset G$ has non-empty interior. It is shown that a [first-countable] paratopological group $H$ is a closed subgroup of a saturated (totally bounded)…
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.
