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…

A poset $\mathbf{P} = (X,\preceq)$ is {\em $m$-partite} if $X$ has a partition $X = X_1 \cup ... \cup X_m$ such that (1) each $X_i$ forms an antichain in $\mathbf{P}$, and (2) $x\prec y$ implies $x\in X_i$ and $y\in X_j$ where $i<j$. In…

We present a study of semigroup compactifications of a semitopological semigroup $S$ using certain filters on $S$. We characterize closed subsemigroups and closed left, right, and two-sided ideals in any semigroup compactification of any…

Assume $\mathsf{M}_n$ is the $n$-dimensional permutation module for the symmetric group $\mathsf{S}_n$, and let $\mathsf{M}_n^{\otimes k}$ be its $k$-fold tensor power. The partition algebra $\mathsf{P}_k(n)$ maps surjectively onto the…

Every numerical semigroup can be expressed as an intersection of irreducible numerical semigroups. We show that the unions of sets of lengths of factorizations of numerical semigroups into irreducible numerical semigroups are all equal to…

A cover of a finite group $G$ is a family of proper subgroups of $G$ whose union is $G$, and a cover is called minimal if it is a cover of minimal cardinality. A partition of $G$ is a cover such that the intersection of any two of its…

Given a finite nonabelian semisimple group $G$, we describe those groups that have the same holomorph as $G$, that is, those regular subgroups $N\simeq G$ of $S(G)$, the group of permutations on the set $G$, such that…

The Satisfactory Partition problem consists in deciding if the set of vertices of a given undirected graph can be partitioned into two nonempty parts such that each vertex has at least as many neighbours in its part as in the other part.…

We prove that if G is a sufficiently large finite almost simple group of Lie type, then given a fixed nontrivial element x in G and a coset of G modulo its socle, the probability that x and a random element of the coset generate a subgroup…

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…

Two finitely generated groups have the same set of finite quotients if and only if their profinite completions are isomorphic. Consider the map which sends (the isomorphism class of) an S-arithmetic group to (the isomorphism class of) its…

Biases in integer partitions have been studied recently. For three disjoint subsets $R,S,I$ of positive integers, let $p_{RSI}(n)$ be the number of partitions of $n$ with parts from $R\cup S\cup I$ and $p_{R>S,I}(n)$ be the number of such…

This work introduces a new kind of affine semigroups called $P$-semigroups. Within the framework of $\mathcal C$-semigroups, we define a finite-state automaton associated to them. Moreover, this automaton determines whether a $\mathcal…

A proper subsemigroup of a semigroup is maximal if it is not contained in any other proper subsemigroup. A maximal subsemigroup of a finite semigroup has one of a small number of forms, as described in a paper of Graham, Graham, and Rhodes.…

A $p$-subgroup $H$ of a finite group $G$ is said to satisfy partial $S$-$\Pi$-property in $G$ if $G$ has a chief series $\Gamma_{G}: 1=G_{0}<G_{1}<\cdots<G_{n}=G$ such that for every $G$-chief factor $G_{i}/G_{i-1}$ $(1\leqslant i\leqslant…

Does every one-ended $CAT(0)$ group have semistable fundamental group at infinity? As we write, this is an open question. Let $G$ be such a group acting geometrically on the proper $CAT(0)$ space $X$. In this paper we show that in order to…

A subset $S$ of an integral domain is called a semidomain if the pairs $(S,+)$ and $(S\setminus\{0\}, \cdot)$ are commutative and cancellative semigroups with identities. The multiplication of $S$ extends to the group of differences…

A nonempty set $A\subset\mathbb{N}$ is $\ell$-strong Schreier if $\min A\geqslant \ell|A|-\ell+1$. We define a set of positive integers to be sparse if either the set has at most two numbers or the differences between consecutive numbers in…

We detect topological semigroups that are topological paragroups, i.e., are isomorphic to a Rees product of a topological group over topological spaces with a continuous sandwich function. We prove that a simple topological semigroup $S$ is…

In this work we prove that the set of points at infinity $S_\infty:={\rm Cl}_{{\mathbb R}{\mathbb P}^m}(S)\cap\mathsf{H}_\infty$ of a semialgebraic set $S\subset{\mathbb R}^m$ which is the image of a polynomial map $f:{\mathbb…
