We study extensions and second cohomology of skew left braces via the natural semi-direct products associated with the skew left braces. Let $0 \to I \to E \to H \to 0$ be a skew brace extension and $\Lambda_H$ denote the natural…

We prove that, for every integer $n \ge 2$, a finite or infinite countable group $G$ can be embedded into a 2-generated group $H$ in such a way that the solvability of quadratic equations of length at most $n$ is preserved, i.e., every…

We introduce a new product for permutation groups. It takes as input two permutation groups, M and N, and produces an infinite group M [X] N which carries many of the permutational properties of M. Under mild conditions on M and N the group…

We prove that if $H$ is a topological group such that all closed subgroups of $H$ are separable, then the product $G\times H$ has the same property for every separable compact group $G$. Let $c$ be the cardinality of the continuum. Assuming…

Continuous wavelet transforms arising from the quasiregular representation of a semidirect product of a vector group with a matrix group -- the so-called dilation group -- have been studied by various authors. Recently the attention has…

We describe structure of quasihomomorphisms from arbitrary groups to discrete groups. We show that all quasihomomorphisms are 'constructible', i.e., are obtained via certain natural operations from homomorphisms to some groups and…

Let $G$ be a group and $H \le K \le G$. We say that $H$ is $c$-embedded in $G$ with respect to $K$ if there is a subgroup $B$ of $G$ such that $G = HB$ and $H \cap B \le Z(K)$. Given a finite group $G$, a prime number $p$ and a Sylow…

We study the geometry of a class of group extensions, containing permutational wreath products, which we call "permutational extensions". We construct for all natural number k a torsion group with growth function asymptotically…

We study fiber bundles where the fibers are not a group $G$, but a free $G$-space with disjoint orbits. These bundles closely resemble principal bundles, hence we call them semi-principal bundles. The study of such bundles is facilitated by…

We show that if $G$ and $H$ are finitely generated groups whose Hilbert compression exponent is positive, then so is the Hilbert compression exponent of the wreath $G \wr H$. We also prove an analogous result for coarse embeddings of wreath…

In the 1980's K.S. Brown proved that the Houghton group $H_n$ is of type $\operatorname{F}_{n-1}$ but not $\operatorname{FP}_n$. We show that, provided $n\ge3$, the same conclusion holds for all subgroups $G$ of $H_n$ that are 'large' in…

We consider the hidden subgroup problem on the semi-direct product of cyclic groups $\Z_{N}\rtimes\Z_{p}$ with some restriction on $N$ and $p$. By using the homomorphic properties, we present a class of semi-direct product groups in which…

Given a group G and a G-module A, we show how to determine up to isomorphism the extensions E of A by G so that A embeds as smallest non-trivial term of the derived series or of the lower central series into E.

We investigate Moufang loops which can be written as the semidirect product of a loop and a group. We also examine a particular class of loop extensions which arise as a result of a finite cyclic group acting as a group of semiautomorphisms…

Let $A$ be a unital separable amenable \CA and $C$ be a unital \CA with certain infinite property. We show that two full monomorphisms $h_1, h_2: A\to C$ are approximately unitarily equivalent if and only if $[h_1]=[h_2]$ in $KL(A,C).$ Let…

Suppose that $G$ is a finite group and $H$ is a subgroup of $G$. We say that $H$ is s-semipermutable in $G$ if $HG_p = G_pH$ for any Sylow $p$-subgroup $G_p$ of $G$ with $(p, |H|) = 1$. We investigate the influence of s-semipermutable…

Let G be a semisimple almost simple algebraic group defined and split over a nonarchimedean local field K and let V be a unipotent representation of G(K) (for example, an Iwahori-spherical representation). We calculate the character of V at…

Embeddings of word structures into matrix semigroups provide a natural bridge between combinatorics on words and linear algebra. However, low-dimensional matrix semigroups impose strong structural restrictions on possible embeddings.…

Let $A$ be a ring with $1\neq 0$, not necessarily finite, endowed with an involution~$*$, that is, an anti-automorphism of order $\leq 2$. Let $H_n(A)$ be the additive group of all $n\times n$ hermitian matrices over $A$ relative to $*$.…

We give a complete characterization of pseudovarieties of semigroups whose finitely generated relatively free profinite semigroups are equidivisible. Besides the pseudovarieties of completely simple semigroups, they are precisely the…
