We consider the class of finitely generated groups which have a normal form computable in logspace. We prove that the class of such groups is closed under finite extensions, finite index subgroups, direct products, wreath products, and also…

The parameter coclass has been used successfully in the study of nilpotent algebraic objects of different kinds. In this paper a definition of coclass for nilpotent semigroups is introduced and semigroups of coclass 0, 1, and 2 are…

Let $G$ be a group that is relatively hyperbolic with respect to a collection of subgroups $\{H_{\lambda}\}_{\lambda\in \Lambda}$. Suppose that $G$ is given by a finite relative presentation $\mathcal{P}$ with respect to this collection. We…

The class of all subdirectly irreducible groups belonging to a variety generated by a finite nilpotent group can be axiomatised by a finite set of elementary sentences.

We say that a locally nilpotent derivations $\delta$ is maximal if there are no inequivalent locally nilpotent derivations that commute with $\delta$. The paper gives a description of isotropy groups of maximal homogeneous locally nilpotent…

We describe finite soluble groups in which every $n$-maximal subgroup is $\mathfrak F$-subnormal.

We describe maximal nilpotent subsemigroups of a given nilpotency class in the semigroup $\Omega_n$ of all $n\times n$ real matrices with non-negative coefficients and the semigroup $\mathbf{D}_n$ of all doubly stochastic real matrices.

For every finite $p$-group $G$ of order $p^n$ with derived subgroup of order $p^m$, Rocco in \cite{roc} proved that the order of tensor square of $G$ is at most $p^{n(n-m)}$. This upper bound has been improved recently by author in…

Let D be an infinite division ring, n a natural number and N a subnormal subgroup of GLn(D) such that n = 1 or the center of D contains at least five elements. This paper contains two main results. In the first one we prove that each…

We show that group C*-algebras of finitely generated, nilpotent groups have finite nuclear dimension. It then follows, from a string of deep results, that the C*-algebra $A$ generated by an irreducible representation of such a group has…

We show that a profinite group, in which the centralisers of non-trivial elements are metabelian, is either virtually pro-$p$ or virtually soluble of derived length at most 4. We furthermore show that a prosoluble group, in which the…

We prove that every finitely generated soluble group which is not virtually abelian has a subgroup of one of a small number of types.

We study group-graded Lie algebras L with finite support X. We show that L is nilpotent of |X|-bounded class if X is arithmetically-free. Conversely: we show that Y supports the grading of a non-nilpotent Lie algebra if Y is not…

Let m, n be positive integers, v a multilinear commutator word and w = v^m. We prove that if G is a locally graded group in which all w-values are n-Engel, then the verbal subgroup w(G) is locally nilpotent.

We show that if a group G is finitely presented and nilpotent-by-abelian-by-finite, then there is an upper bound on the first betti number of M as M runs through all subgroups of finite index in G.

We study the minimal dimension of solvable and nilpotent Lie algebras over a field of characteristic zero with given derived length $k$. This is motivated by questions on nildecomposable Lie algebras $\Lg=\La+\Lb$, arising in the context of…

We show that locally solvable subgroups of PLo(I) are countable. Then for each countable ordered set, we construct a locally solvable subgroup of Thompson's Group F. We develop machinery for understanding embeddings from solvable subgroups…

We investigate some situation in which automorphisms of a group G are uniquely determined by their restrictions to a proper subgroup H. Much of the paper is devoted to studying under which additional hypotheses this property forces G to be…

We develop a general approach to the study of maximal nilpotent subsemigroups of finite semigroups. This approach can be used to recover many known classifications of maximal nilpotent subsemigroups, in particular, for the symmetric inverse…

Over each nontrivial finite group $G$, there exists a finite system of equations having no solutions in larger finite groups but having a solution in a periodic group containing $G$. We prove several similar facts about amenable, orderable,…
