Answering a question of A. V. Vasil'ev, we show that each finite symmetric (or alternating) group $H$ is a retract of any group containing $H$ as a verbally closed subgroup.

In this paper we study arithmetical and structural features of a finite group that possesses exactly two conjugacy class sizes that are composite numbers.

The reality of the difficulties in investigation of finite groups are considered. It is shown that the consideration of symmetry properties of the $k$-orbits that are obtained with an action of a finite group $F=(V,\cdot)$ on Cartesian…

PhD thesis concerning cohomological finiteness conditions of infinite discrete groups. Much of the material in this thesis has also appeared in arXiv:1311.7629, arXiv:1310.6262, arXiv:1311.6156, and arXiv:1207.1597.

We study the structure of a series of groups $\Gamma_n^4$ defined by Kim and Manturov. We show that the groups are finite for all $n \ge 6$ and in fact they are 2-step nilpotent $2$-groups.

A survey of recent results about profinite groups, and results about infinite and finite groups where the theory of profinite groups plays a leading role.

We generalise a construction of mixed Beauville groups first given by Bauer, Catanese and Grunewald. We go on to give several examples of infinite families of characteristically simple groups that satisfy the hypotheses of our theorem and…

The concept of configuration was first introduced to give a characterization for the amenability of groups. Then the concept of two-sided configuration was suggested to provide normality to study the group structures more efficiently. It…

We construct examples of finitely generated infinite simple groups of homeomorphisms of the real line. Equivalently, these are examples of finitely generated simple left (or right) orderable groups. This answers a well known open question…

Let $\mathcal G$ denote the space of finitely generated marked groups. For any finitely generated group $G$, we construct a continuous, injective map $f$ from the space of subgroups $Sub(G)$ to $\mathcal G$ that sends conjugate subgroups to…

We define a class of finite groups based on the properties of the closed twins of their power graphs and study the structure of those groups. As a byproduct, we obtain results about finite groups admitting a partition by cyclic subgroups.

We establish the equivalence of three versions of a finite dimensional quantum groupoid: a generalized Kac algebra introduced by T. Yamanouchi, a weak $C^*$-Hopf algebra introduced by G. Bohm, F. Nill and K. Szlachanyi (with an involutive…

Let $C_n$, $Q_n$ and $D_n$ be the cyclic group, the quaternion group and the dihedral group of order $n$, respectively. The structures of the unit groups of the finite group algebras $FQ_{12}$ and $F(C_2 \times Q_{12})$ over a finite field…

A result of D. Segal states that every complex irreducible representation of a finitely generated nilpotent group $G$ is monomial if and only if $G$ is abelian-by-finite. A conjecture of A. N. Parshin, recently proved affirmatively by I.V.…

We prove that three definitions of unitality for A-infinity-categories suggested by the first author, by Kontsevich and Soibelman, and by Fukaya are equivalent.

Inspired by an experimental study of energy-minimizing periodic configurations in Euclidean space, Cohn, Kumar and Sch\"urmann proposed the concept of formal duality between a pair of periodic configurations, which indicates an unexpected…

We provide new computations in bounded cohomology: A group is boundedly acyclic if its bounded cohomology with trivial real coefficients is zero in all positive degrees. We show that there exists a continuum of finitely generated…

We give a description of $Hom(G,L)$, where $L$ is a limit group (fully residually free group). We construct a finite diagram of groups, Makanin-Razborov diagram, that gives a convinient representation of all such homomorphisms.

In this paper we first survey some basic results in the cohomology of finite groups, and then discuss recent work on constructing free actions of finite groups on products of spheres.

These notes give a short introduction to finite Coxeter groups, their classification, and some parts of their representation theory, with a focus on the infinite families. They are based on lectures delivered by the author at the…
