Let $p$ be a prime number and suppose that every maximal subgroup of a finite group is either $p$-nilpotent or has prime index. Such group need not be $p$-solvable, and we study its structure by proving that only one nonabelian simple group…

We study random nilpotent groups in the well-established style of random groups, by choosing relators uniformly among freely reduced words of (nearly) equal length and letting the length tend to infinity. Whereas random groups are quotients…

In this note, a necessary and sufficient condition for the normalizer of a core-free subgroup $H$ of a finite group $G$ to be normal in $G$ is obtained. Also, a known result of finite groups is obtained through transversal.

In this paper we survey a new criteria for solvability of finite groups in terms of number of supersolvable (also known as polycyclic) and non-supersolvable subgroups. In particular, we present original examples of supersolvable groups such…

This is a long overdue write up of the following: If the fundamental group of a normal complex algebraic variety (respectively Zariski open subset of a compact K\"ahler manifold) is a solvable group of matrices over Q (respectively…

We consider the class of groups whose word problem is poly-context-free; that is, an intersection of finitely many context-free languages. We show that any group which is virtually a finitely generated subgroup of a direct product of free…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $p$ a fixed prime divisor of $|G|$. Combining the nilpotence, the normality and the order of groups together, we prove that if every maximal subgroup of $G$ is nilpotent or normal or has $p'$-order, then (1)…

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 finitely generated linear group over a field of characteristic 0. Suppose that every solvable subgroup of G is polycyclic. Then the claim is made that any solvable subgroup of G is separable. This is proven for G=SL_n(Z).…

We extend a classical theorem of P. Hall that claims that if the index of every maximal subgroup of a finite group $G$ is a prime or the square of a prime, then $G$ is solvable. Precisely, we prove that if one allows, in addition, the…

Semisimple Lie algebras have been completely classified by Cartan and Killing. The Levi theorem states that every finite dimensional Lie algebra is isomorphic to a semidirect sum of its largest solvable ideal and a semisimple Lie algebra.…

A long standing open problem in the theory of hyperfinite equivalence relations asks if the orbit equivalence relation generated by a Borel action of a countable amenable group is hyperfinite. In this paper we show that this question has a…

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…

We describe generators and defining relations for the commutator subgroup of topological full groups of minimal subshifts. We show that the word problem in a topological full group is solvable if and only if the language of the underlying…

We prove that in an arbitrary semigroup without cycles, the problem of divisibility and, therefore, the word problem is solvable.

The non-solvable graph of a finite group G is a simple graph whose vertices are the elements of G and there is an edge between x and y if and only if the subgroup generated by x and y is not solvable. The isolated vertices in the…

We study groups, all maximal nilpotent subgroups of class at most $k$ in which are malnormal. We show that such groups share many similar properties with the ordinary CSA groups. Similarly, we introduce the class of {\em nilpotency…

In this thesis we investigate invariant transversals in finite groups by studying the connection between right conjugacy closed loops and finite groups. The interplay between loop theory and group theory has prompted discoveries in both…

We develop a structure theory of connected solvable spherical subgroups in semisimple algebraic groups. Based on this theory, we obtain an explicit classification of all such subgroups up to conjugation.

We show that the intersection of the rational derived series of a one-relator group is rationally perfect and is normally generated by a single element. As a corollary, we characterise precisely when a one-relator group is residually…
