We develop some new topological tools to study maximal subgroups of free idempotent generated semigroups. As an application, we show that the rank 1 component of the free idempotent generated semigroup of the biordered set of a full matrix…

Linear upper bounds may be derived by imposing specific structural conditions on a generating set, such as additional constraints on ranks, eigenvalues, or the degree of the minimal polynomial of the generating matrices. This paper…

We prove an exponential upper bound for the number $f(m,n)$ of all maximal triangulations of the $m\times n$ grid: \[ f(m,n) < 2^{3mn}. \] In particular, this improves a result of S. Yu. Orevkov (1999).

After 100 years of effort, the classification of all the finite subgroups of SU(3) is yet incomplete. The most recently updated list can be found in P.O. Ludl, J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 44 255204 (2011), where the structure of the series (C)…

Let $n$ be a positive integer and $\mathcal M$ a set of rational $n \times n$-matrices such that $\mathcal M$ generates a finite multiplicative semigroup. We show that any matrix in the semigroup is a product of matrices in $\mathcal M$…

Let $G$ be a solvable subgroup of the group $\diff{}{n}$ of local complex analytic diffeomorphisms. Analogously as for groups of matrices we bound the solvable length of $G$ by a function of $n$. Moreover we provide the best possible bounds…

Let $\mathcal A$ be an $\mathbb F$-algebra and let $\mathcal S$ be its generating set. The length of $\mathcal S$ is the smallest number $k$ such that $\mathcal A$ equals the $\mathbb F$-linear span of all products of length at most $k$ of…

The purpose of this paper is to prove that if $G$ is a transitive permutation group of degree $n\geq 2$, then $G$ can be generated by $\lfloor cn/\sqrt{\log{n}}\rfloor$ elements, where $c:=\sqrt{3}/2$. Owing to the transitive group…

The nonsoluble length $\lambda(G)$ of a finite group $G$ is defined as the minimum number of nonsoluble factors in a normal series of $G$ each of whose quotients either is soluble or is a direct product of nonabelian simple groups. The…

Recently Rai obtained an upper bound for the order of the Schur multiplier of a $d$-generator special $p$-group when its derived subgroup has the maximum value $ p^{\frac{1}{2}d(d-1)}$ for $ d\geq 3 $ and $ p\neq 2. $ Here we try to obtain…

Let $F_n$ be the free group on $n \geq 2$ generators. We show that for all $1 \leq m \leq 2n-3$ (respectively for all $1 \leq m \leq 2n-4$) there exists a subgroup of $\operatorname{Aut}(F_n)$ (respectively $\operatorname{Out}(F_n)$) which…

Irrespective of whether n is prime, prime power with exponent >1, or composite, the group U_n of units of Z_n can sometimes be obtained as the direct product of cyclic groups generated by x, x+k and x+2k, for x, k in Z_n. Indeed, for many…

Let $F_n$, $n\geq2$, be the free group with $n$ generators, denoted by $U_1,U_2,...,U_n$. Let $C*(F_n)$ be the full $C^*$-algebra of $F_n$. Let $\mathcal{X}$ be the vector subspace of the algebraic tensor product $C^*(F_n) \otimes…

In this paper, we show that a locally graded group with a finite number m of non-(nilpotent of class at most n) subgroups is (soluble of class at most [log2(n)] + m + 3)-by-(finite of order $\le$ m!). Also we show that the derived length of…

Let $\mathbb{K}=\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$, and $T_n(\mathbb{K})$ be the set of $n\times n$ lower triangular matrices with entries in $\mathbb{K}$. We show that $T_n(\mathbb{K})$ has dense subsemigroups that are generated by $n+1$…

For each natural number $d$ we construct a $3$-generated group $H_d$, which is a subdirect product of free groups, such that the cohomological dimension of $H_d$ is $d$. Given a group $F$ and a normal subgroup $N \lhd F$ we prove that any…

Given a finite-dimensional faithful representation $V$ of a linearly reductive group $G$ over a field $K=\bar K$, we consider the growth of the number of irreducible factors of $V^{\otimes n}$ when $n$ is large. We prove that there exist…

In this paper we prove that a finite group of order $r$ has at most $$ 7.3722\cdot r^{\frac{\log_2r}{4}+1.5315}$$ subgroups.

We show that for every $N\ge 3$ the free unitary group $U^+_N$ is topologically generated by its classical counterpart $U_N$ and the lower-rank $U^+_{N-1}$. This allows for a uniform inductive proof that a number of finiteness properties,…

Every finite group $G$ has a normal series each of whose factors is either a solvable group or a direct product of nonabelian simple groups. The minimum number of nonsolvable factors attained on all possible such series is called the…
