Let S be a finite graph and G be the corresponding free partially commutative group. In this paper we study subgroups generated by vertices of the graph S, which we call canonical parabolic subgroups. A natural extension of the definition…
Normal and composition series of groups enumerated by ordinal numbers are studied. The Jordan-Holder theorem for them is proved.
We give a simple algorithm that enables us to determine whether a subgroup of finite index of the Hecke group is normal.
Let $G$ be a finite solvable group and $H$ a non-normal core-free subgroup of $G$. We show that if the normalizer of any non-trivial normal subgroup of $Fit(H)$ is equal $H$, then $H$ has a nilpotent normal complement $K$ such that $G=KH$…
It is known that any locally graded group with finitely many derived subgroups of non-normal subgroups is finite-by-abelian. This result is generalized here, by proving that in a locally graded group $G$ the subgroup $\gamma_{k}(G)$ is…
We prove that the generalised word problem of a finitely generated subgroup of a finitely generated virtually free group is context-free, that a hyperbolic group must be virtually free if it has a torsion-free quasiconvex subgroup of…
The main results of this paper are generalizations some classical theorems about transversals for families of finite sets to some cases of families of infinite sets.
We study the class of groups having the property that every non-nilpotent subgroup is equal to its normalizer. These groups are either soluble or perfect. We completely describe the structure of soluble groups and finite perfect groups with…
The generalised Fitting subgroup of a finite group is the group generated by all subnormal subgroups that are either nilpotent or quasisimple. The importance of this subgroup in finite group theory stems from the fact that it always…
Consider a one-ended word-hyperbolic group. If it is the fundamental group of a graph of free groups with cyclic edge groups then either it is the fundamental group of a surface or it contains a finitely generated one-ended subgroup of…
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…
A characterization of congruences in free semigroups is presented.
For any group $G$ with subgroup $H$ and a set of representatives $T$ from the set of cosets $G/H$, we develop a rewriting system from $G$ that bequeaths a product into the set decomposition $T\times H$ of $G$, converting it into a group. In…
The goal of this note is to show how recent results on the theory of quasi-stationary distributions allow to deduce effortlessly general criteria for the geometric convergence of normalized unbounded semigroups.
In this paper we introduce the symmetric normaliser graph of a group $G$. The vertex set of this graph consists of elements of the group. Vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if $x$ lies in the normaliser of $\langle y \rangle$ and $y$ lies in…
This paper contains a complete proof of a fundamental theorem on the normalizers of unipotent subgroups in semisimple algebraic groups.
We show that if a group $G$ has a finite normal subgroup $L$ such that $G/L$ is hypercentral, then the index of the hypercenter of $G$ is bounded by a function of the order of $L$. This completes recent results generalizing classical…
Every action of a finite group scheme $G$ on a variety admits a projective equivariant model, but not necessarily a normal one. As a remedy, we introduce and explore the notion of $G$-normalization. In particular, every curve equipped with…
In this note we give some new results concerning the subgroup commutativity degree of a finite group $G$. These are obtained by considering the minimum of subgroup commutativity degrees of all sections of $G$.
We establish a necessary and sufficient condition for a normal subgroup of a finite group to be a subgroup perfect code.
