A group is called metahamiltonian if all non-abelian subgroups of it are normal. This concept is a natural generalization of Hamiltonian groups. In this paper, the properties of finite metahamiltonian $p$-groups are investigated.

A subgroup $R$ of a finite group $G$ is weakly subnormal in $G$ if $R$ is not subnormal in $G$ but it is subnormal in every proper overgroup of $R$ in $G$. In this paper, we first classify all finite groups $G$ which contains a weakly…

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

In a finite group, a subset is called a Lagrange subset if its size divides the group order, and a factor if it admits a complementary subset. We provide a new and comparatively direct proof of the classification of groups in which every…

For any right-angled Artin group, we show that its outer automorphism group contains either a finite-index nilpotent subgroup or a nonabelian free subgroup. This is a weak Tits alternative theorem. We find a criterion on the defining graph…

Let G be a unipotent algebraic subgroup of some GL_m(C) defined over Q. We describe an algorithm for finding a finite set of generators of the subgroup G(Z) = G \cap GL_m(Z). This is based on a new proof of the result (in more general form…

We settle an old conjecture of Karrass and Solitar by proving that a finitely generated subgroup of a non-trivial free product $G = A\ast B$ has finite index if and only if it intersects non-trivially each non-trivial normal subgroup of…

A (left) Engel sink of an element g of a group G is a subset containing all sufficiently long commutators [...[[x,g],g],...,g], where x ranges over G. We prove that if p is a prime and G a finite group in which, for some positive integer m,…

Let $G$ be a group. Write $G^{*}=G\setminus \{1\}$. An element $x$ of $G^{*}$ will be called deficient if $ \langle x\rangle < C_G(x)$ and it will be called non-deficient if $\langle x\rangle = C_G(x).$ If $x\in G$ is deficient…

We classify finite groups in which the centralisers of certain non-central elements are soluble. This includes a full structural description of groups whose non-central element centralisers are all soluble, and a reduction theorem for the…

A group G is non-topologizable if the only Hausdorff group topology that G admits is the discrete one. Is there an infinite group G such that H/N is non-topologizable for every subgroup H <= G and every normal subgroup N <| H? We show that…

Let $G$ be a group and $H$ a subgroup of $G$. This note introduces an equivalent definition of hyperbolic embedded subgroup based on Bowditch's approach to relatively hyperbolic groups in terms of fine graphs.

We give new characterizations of sofic groups: -- A group $G$ is sofic if and only if it is a subgroup of a quotient of a direct product of alternating or symmetric groups. -- A group $G$ is sofic if and only if any system of equations…

Given a $T$-rough definably amenable $T$-rough approximate subgroup $A$ of a group in some first-order structure, there is a type-definable subgroup $H$ normalised by $A$ and contained in $A^4$ of bounded index in $\langle A\rangle$.

For any finite group Q not of prime power order, we construct a group G that is virtually of type F, contains infinitely many conjugacy classes of subgroups isomorphic to Q, and contains only finitely many conjugacy classes of other finite…

Let $G$ be a finite group admitting a coprime automorphism $\alpha$. Let $J_G(\alpha)$ denote the set of all commutators $[x,\alpha]$, where $x$ belongs to an $\alpha$-invariant Sylow subgroup of $G$. We show that $[G,\alpha]$ is soluble or…

It is proven that if $G$ is a finite group, then $G^\omega$ has $2^{\mathfrak c}$ dense nonmeasurable subgroups. Also, other examples of compact groups with dense nonmeasurable subgroups are presented.

We classify the finite groups $G$ such that the group of units of the integral group ring ${\mathbb Z} G$ has a subgroup of finite index which is a direct product of free-by-free groups.

Let $G$ be a profinite group. We prove that the commutator subgroup $G'$ is finite-by-procyclic if and only if the set of all commutators of $G$ is contained in a union of countably many procyclic subgroups.

Let $\sigma =\{\sigma_{i} | i\in I\}$ be a partition of the set of all primes $\Bbb{P}$ and $G$ a finite group. A set ${\cal H}$ of subgroups of $G$ is said to be a \emph{complete Hall $\sigma $-set} of $G$ if every member $\ne 1$ of ${\cal…
