Let G a group of germs of analytic diffeomorphisms in (C^2,0). We find some remarkable properties supposing that G is finite, linearizable, abelian nilpotent and solvable. In particular, if the group is abelian and has a generic dicritic…

Let $G$ be a polycyclic, metabelian or soluble of type (FP)$_{\infty}$ group such that the class $Rat(G)$ of all rational subsets of $G$ is a boolean algebra. Then $G$ is virtually abelian. Every soluble biautomatic group is virtually…

We show that any soluble group $G$ of type Bredon-$\FP_{\infty}$ with respect to the family of all virtually cyclic subgroups such that centralizers of infinite order elements are of type $\FP_{\infty}$ must be virtually cyclic. To prove…

A companion result of the the Tits alternative for $Out(F_n)$ is proved: Every solvable subgroup of $Out(F_n)$ is finitely generated and virtually abelian.

In the study of the local dynamics of a germ of diffeomorphism fixing the origin in C, an important problem is to determine the centralizer of the germ in the group Diff(C,0) of germs of diffeomorphisms fixing the origin. When the germ is…

We prove that every finitely generated soluble group which is not virtually abelian has a subgroup of one of a small number of types.

Let $D$ be a division ring with center $F$, and $G$ an almost subnormal subgroup of $D^*$. In this paper, we show that if $G$ contains a non-abelian locally solvable maximal subgroup, then $D$ must be a cyclic algebra of prime degree over…

We classify closed abelian subgroups of the simple groups $G_2$, $F_4$, $Aut(so(8))$ having centralizer the same dimension as the dimension of the subgroup, as well as finite abelian subgroups of certain spin and half-spin groups having…

We construct finitely generated torsion-free solvable groups $G$ that have infinite rank, but such that all finitely generated torsion-free metabelian subquotients of $G$ are virtually abelian. In particular all finitely generated…

We study metabelian groups $G$ given by full rank finite presentations $\langle A \mid R \rangle_{\mathcal{M}}$ in the variety $\mathcal{M}$ of metabelian groups. We prove that $G$ is a product of a free metabelian subgroup of rank…

This paper aims at studying solvable-by-finite and locally solvable maximal subgroups of an almost subnormal subgroup of the general skew linear group $\GL_n(D)$ over a division ring $D$. It turns out that in the case where $D$ is…

Let $G$ be a dp-minimal group; we prove some consequences of several different hypotheses on $G$. First, if $G$ is torsion-free, then it is abelian. Second, if $G$ admits a distal f-generic type, then it is virtually nilpotent; we prove…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $H$ a core-free subgroup of $G$. We will show that if there exists a solvable, generating transversal of $H$ in $G$, then $G$ is a solvable group. Further, if $S$ is a generating transversal of $H$ in $G$ and…

A finite non-abelian group $G$ is called super integral if the spectrum, Laplacian spectrum and signless Laplacian spectrum of its commuting graph contain only integers. In this paper, we first compute various spectra of several families of…

Let $D$ be a division ring with center $F$, and $G$ a subnormal subgroup of $D^*$. We show that if $G$ is a locally solvable group such that $G^{(i)}$ is algebraic over $F$, then $G$ must be central. Also, if $M$ is non-abelian locally…

Given a group $G$ with bounded torsion that acts properly on a systolic complex, we show that every solvable subgroup of $G$ is finitely generated and virtually abelian of rank at most $2$. In particular this gives a new proof of the above…

A theorem of Cantat and Urech says that an analog of the classical Tits alternative holds for the group of birational automorphisms of a compact complex Kaehler surface. We established in our previous paper the following Tits-type…

There are various results in the literature which are part of the general philosophy that a finite group for which a certain parameter (for example, the number of conjugacy classes or the maximum number of elements inverted, squared or…

The problem of enumeration of conjugacy classes of finite abelian subgroups of the mapping class group $\mathcal{M}_{\sigma}$ of a compact closed surface $X$ of genus $\sigma$ is considered. A complete method of enumeration is achieved for…

We let the central Fourier algebra, ZA(G), be the subalgebra of functions u in the Fourier algebra A(G) of a compact group, for which u(xyx^{-1})=u(y) for all x,y in G. We show that this algebra admits bounded point derivations whenever G…
