Radical subgroups play an important role in both finite group theory and representation theory. This is the first of a series of papers of ours in classifying radical $p$-subgroups of finite reductive groups and in verifying the inductive…
A ring R is called an E-ring if the canonical homomorphism from R to the endomorphism ring End(R_Z) of the additive group R_Z, taking any r in R to the endomorphism left multiplication by r turns out to be an isomorphism of rings. In this…
Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group of exceptional type over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p \geqslant 0$ which is not algebraic over a finite field. Let $\mathcal{C}_1, \ldots, \mathcal{C}_t$ be non-central conjugacy…
A long-standing conjecture asserts that every finite nonabelian $p$-group has a non-inner automorphism of order $p$. In this paper we prove the conjecture for finite $p$-groups of coclass $4$ and coclass $5$ ($p\ge 5$). We also prove the…
For any abelian group $G$, we classify up to isomorphism all $G$-gradings on the classical central simple Lie algebras, except those of type $D_4$, over the field of real numbers (or any real closed field).
Let G be a Chevalley group scheme of rank l. We show that the following holds for some absolute constant d>0 and two functions p_0=p_0(l) and C=C(l,p). Let p>p_0 be a prime number and let G_n:=G(\Z/p^n\Z) be the family of finite groups for…
In this paper we study definable families of functions from an ordered abelian group into various naturally arising definable quotients. We show that for an ordered abelian group $G$ and definable family of convex subgroups…
The main result of this paper is the following theorem. Let q be a prime, A an elementary abelian group of order q^3. Suppose that A acts as a coprime group of automorphisms on a profinite group G in such a manner that C_G(a)' is periodic…
We first give complete characterizations of the structure of finite group $G$ in which every subgroup (or non-nilpotent subgroup, or non-abelian subgroup) is a TI-subgroup or subnormal or has $p'$-order for a fixed prime divisor $p$ of…
A group is called capable if it is a central factor group. For each prime $p$ and positive integer $c$, we prove the existence of a capable $p$-group of class $c$ minimally generated by an element of order $p$ and an element of order…
A class of groups is investigated, each of which has a fairly simple presentation . For example the group $R = (a, b, c, d | a^3 = b^3 = c^3 = d^3 = 1, ba^{-1} =dc^{-1}, ca^{-1} = db^{-1}) $ is in the class. Such a group does not have as a…
We show that any simple group of Morley rank 4 must be a bad group with no proper definable subgroups of rank larger than 1. We also give an application to groups acting on sets of Morley rank 2.
A classical result of Claborn states that every abelian group is the class group of a commutative Dedekind domain. Among noncommutative Dedekind prime rings, apart from PI rings, the simple Dedekind domains form a second important class. We…
We investigate the possible structures imposed on a finite group by its possession of an automorphism sending a large fraction of the group elements to their cubes, the philosophy being that this should force the group to be, in some sense,…
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…
The problem of classifying equivalence classes of presentations up to isomorphism of Cayley graphs is considered in this article in the case of dicyclic groups. The number of equivalence classes of presentations is uniformly bounded - it is…
Following Wielandt, a finite group $G$ is called a $B$-group (Burnside group) if every primitive group containing a regular subgroup isomorphic to $G$ is doubly transitive. Using a method of Schur rings, Wielandt proved that every abelian…
In a finite group $ G $, $ \psi(G) $ denotes the sum of element orders of $ G $. A finite group $ G $ is said to be a $\mathscr{B}_{\psi}$-group if $ \psi(H) < |G| $ for any proper subgroup $ H $ of $ G $. In \cite{Lazorec} Lazorec asked:…
We show some basic facts about dp-minimal ordered structures. The main results are : dp-minimal groups are abelian-by-finite-exponent, in a divisible ordered dp-minimal group, any infinite set has non-empty interior, and any theory of pure…
Let ${\rm GK}(G)$ be the prime graph associated with a finite group $G$ and $D(G)$ be the degree pattern of $G$. A finite group $G$ is said to be $k$-fold OD-characterizable if there exist exactly $k$ non-isomorphic groups $H$ such that…
