For a wide family of formations $\mathfrak{F}$ it is proved that the $ \mathfrak{F}$-residual of a permutation finite group can be computed in a polynomial time. Moreover, if in the previous case $\mathfrak{F}$ is hereditary, then an…

For every $\alpha \in [1,2r-1]$, we show there exists a subgroup $H<F_r$ whose growth rate is $\alpha$.

We find a condition on the underlying graph of an Artin group that fully determines if it is subgroup separable. As a consequence, an Artin group is subgroup separable if and only if it can be obtained from Artin groups of ranks at most 2…

We determine, in a polynomial ring over a field, the arithmetical rank of certain ideals generated by a set of monomials and one binomial.

We prove that the equality problem is decidable for rational subsets of the monogenic free inverse monoid $F$. It is also decidable whether or not a rational subset of $F$ is recognizable. We prove that a submonoid of $F$ is rational if and…

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…

Can one detect free products of groups via their profinite completions? We answer positively among virtually free groups. More precisely, we prove that a subgroup of a finitely generated virtually free group $G$ is a free factor if and only…

An involution on a semigroup S (or any algebra with an underlying associative binary operation) is a function f:S->S that satisfies f(xy)=f(y)f(x) and f(f(x))=x for all x,y in S. The set I(S) of all such involutions on S generates a…

In this article we consider sheaf quotients of affine superschemes by affine supergroups that act on them freely. The necessary and sufficient conditions for such quotients to be affine are given. If $G$ is an affine supergroup and $H$ is…

We prove that for arbitrary two finitely generated subgroups A and B having infinite index in a free group F, there is a subgroup H of finite index in B such that the subgroup generated by A and H has infinite index in F. The main corollary…

Let $R$ be a finite principal ideal ring and $S$ the Galois extension of $R$ of degree $m$. For $k$ and $k_0$, positive integers we determine the number of free $S$-linear codes $B$ of length $l$ with the property $k = rank_S(B)$ and $k_0 =…

Let $I=[0,1)$ and $\mathcal{PC}(I)$ [resp. $\mathcal{PC}^+(I)$] be the quotient group of the group of all piecewise continuous [resp. piecewise continuous and orientation preserving] bijections of $I$ by its normal subgroup consisting in…

We give new and improved results on the freeness of subgroups of free profinite groups: A subgroup containing the normal closure of a finite word in the elements of a basis is free; Every infinite index subgroup of a finitely generated…

We give necessary and sufficient conditions on the graph of a right-angled Artin group that determine whether the group is subgroup separable or not. Moreover, we investigate the profinite topology of the direct product of two free groups.…

The theory of bounded cohomology of groups has many applications. A key open problem is to compute the full bounded cohomology $H_b^n(F, R)$ of a non-abelian free group $F$ with trivial real coefficients. It is known that $H_b^n(F,R)$ is…

For any normal commutative Hopf subalgebra $K=k^G$ of a semisimple Hopf algebra we describe the ring inside $kG$ obtained by the restriction of $H$-modules. If $G=\Z_p$ this ring determines a fusion ring and we give a complete description…

A subgroup $H$ of a finite group $G$ is said to be an $\mathscr{H}C$-subgroup of $G$ if there exists a normal subgroup $T$ of $G$ such that $G=HT$ and $H^g \cap N_T(H)\leq H$ for all $g\in G$. In this paper, we investigate the structure of…

The $\mathcal{R}$-height of a semigroup $S$ is the height of the poset of $\mathcal{R}$-classes of $S,$ i.e. the supremum of the lengths of chains of $\mathcal{R}$-classes. Given a semigroup $S$ with finite $\mathcal{R}$-height, we…

A subgroup H of a group G is called inert if for each $g\in G$ the index of $H\cap H^g$ in $H$ is finite. We give a classification of soluble-by-finite groups $G$ in which subnormal subgroups are inert in the cases where $G$ has no…

We present the (Lascar) Galois group of any countable theory as a quotient of a compact Polish group by an $F_\sigma$ normal subgroup: in general, as a topological group, and under NIP, also in terms of Borel cardinality. This allows us to…
