The `upper rank' of a group is the supremum of the (Pr\"{u}fer) ranks of its finite quotients, and for a prime $p$, the `upper $p$-rank' is the supremum of the sectional $p$-ranks of those quotients. The former is finite if and only if the…
In this note, we study the finite groups whose Chermak-Delgado measure has exactly two values. They determine an interesting class of $p$-groups containing cyclic groups of prime order and extraspecial $p$-groups.
This article examines lower bounds for the representation growth of finitely generated (particularly profinite and pro-p) groups. It also considers the related question of understanding the maximal multiplicities of character degrees in…
Pro-$p$ groups of finite powerful class are studied. We prove that these are $p$-adic analytic, and further describe their structure when their powerful class is small. It is also shown that there are only finitely many finite $p$-groups of…
By using the structure and some properties of extraspecial and generalized/almost extraspecial $p$-groups, we explicitly determine the number of elements of specific orders in such groups. As a consequence, one may find the number of cyclic…
We establish conditions under which the fundamental group of a graph of finite $p$-groups is necessarily residually $p$-finite. The technique of proof is independent of previously established results of this type, and the result is also…
We obtain a non--trivial upper bound for the multiplicative energy of any sufficiently large subset of a subvariety of a finite algebraic group. We also find some applications of our results to growth of conjugates classes, estimates of…
We prove that any finitely generated one ended group has linear end depth. Moreover, we give alternative proofs to theorems relating the growth of a finitely generated group to the number of its ends.
We prove that Thompson's group $F$ has a generating set with two elements such that every two powers of them generate a finite index subgroup of $F$.
We give a simple recursion for the minimal generators $G=\{g_i\}$ of the generic value set $\Lambda_{gen}$ of a plane curve germ $C$ with a two-generator semigroup $\Gamma \langle p, m \rangle$. The main result provides for explicit…
Given a set of primes $\pi$, the $\pi$-index of an element $x$ of a finite group $G$ is the $\pi$-part of the index of the centralizer of $x$ in $G$. If $\pi=\{p\}$ is a singleton, we just say the $p$-index. If the $\pi$-index of $x$ is…
It is shown that the relatively free centre-by-metabelian and (class-2 nilpotent)-by-abelian pro-p groups on 2 generators are each finitely axiomatizable in the class of all profinite groups.
We construct finitely generated groups with strong fixed point properties. Let $\mathcal{X}_{ac}$ be the class of Hausdorff spaces of finite covering dimension which are mod-$p$ acyclic for at least one prime $p$. We produce the first…
Let $G$ be a finite group, $L_1(G)$ be its poset of cyclic subgroups and consider the quantity $\alpha(G)=\frac{|L_1(G)|}{|G|}$. The aim of this paper is to study the class $\cal{C}$ of finite nilpotent groups having…
The unipotent groups are an important class of algebraic groups. We show that techniques used to compute with finitely generated nilpotent groups carry over to unipotent groups. We concentrate particularly on the maximal unipotent subgroup…
Two finitely generated groups have the same set of finite quotients if and only if their profinite completions are isomorphic. Consider the map which sends (the isomorphism class of) an S-arithmetic group to (the isomorphism class of) its…
Motivated by \cite{am1}, for every finite subgroup $\Gamma \subset PSL(2,\mathbb{C})$ we investigate the fixed point subalgebra $\triplet^{\Gamma}$ of the triplet vertex $\mathcal {W}(p)$, of central charge $1-\frac{6(p-1)^{2}}{p}$,…
We study microscopic observables of the Discrete Gaussian model (i.e., the Gaussian free field restricted to take integer values) at high temperature using the renormalisation group method. In particular, we show the central limit theorem…
In this paper, we study the action of finite subgroups of the mapping class group of a surface on the curve complex. We prove that if the diameter of the almost fixed point set of a finite subgroup H is big enough, then the centralizer of H…
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the finite group which appears in the study of the Type II $\mathbf{Z}_4$-codes. To be precise, it is characterized in terms of generators and relations, and we determine the structure of the…
