Using generating functions, we enumerate regular semisimple conjugacy classes in the finite classical groups. For the general linear, unitary, and symplectic groups this gives a different approach to known results; for the special…

The classification of gradings by abelian groups on finite direct sums of simple finite-dimensional nonassociative algebras over an algebraically closed field is reduced, by means of the use of loop algebras, to the corresponding problem…

In this paper we propose a conjecture concerning partial sums of an arbitrary finite subset of an abelian group, that naturally arises investigating simple Heffter systems. Then, we show its connection with related open problems and we…

In this article we introduce the notion of weak identities in a group and study their properties. We show that weak identities have some similar properties to ordinary ones. We use this notion to prove that any finitely generated solvable…

We classify, up to conjugacy, the finite (constant) subgroups G of adjoint absolutely simple algebraic groups of type $A_1$ over an arbitrary field $k$ of characteristic not 2.

We know that any finite abelian group $G$ appears as a subgroup of infinitely many multiplicative groups $\mathbb{Z}_n^\times$ (the abelian groups of size $\phi(n)$ that are the multiplicative groups of units in the rings…

We describe the structure of Sylow {\ell}-subgroups of a finite reduc-tive group G(Fq) when q $\not\equiv$ 0 (mod {\ell}) that we find governed by a complex reflection group attached to G and {\ell}, which depends on {\ell} only through the…

We propose a general conjecture on decompositions of finite simple groups as products of conjugates of an arbitrary subset. We prove this conjecture for bounded subsets of arbitrary finite simple groups, and for large subsets of groups of…

We give an accessible and modern description of the automorphisms of a finite abelian group $G$. Included is an explicit formula for the cardinality of $Aut(G)$.

In this article we prove results about finite soluble groups that act with fixity 2 or 3.

In this paper we survey a new criteria for solvability of finite groups in terms of number of supersolvable (also known as polycyclic) and non-supersolvable subgroups. In particular, we present original examples of supersolvable groups such…

A group is small if it has countably many complete $n$-types over the empty set for each natural number n. More generally, a group $G$ is weakly small if it has countably many complete 1-types over every finite subset of G. We show here…

We examine Weyl groups of minimal connected simple groups of finite Morley rank of degenerate type. We show that they are cyclic, and lift isomorphically to subgroups of the ambient group.

In this paper we provide an algorithm to classify groups of points on abelian threefolds over finite fields. The classification is given in terms of the Weil polynomial of abelian varieties in a given $\mathbb{F}_q$-isogeny class. This work…

The role of finite centralizers of involutions in pseudo-finite groups is analyzed. It is shown that a pseudo-finite group admitting a definable involutory automorphism fixing only finitely many elements is finite-by-abelian-by-finite. As a…

We complete the classification of the finite special linear groups $\SL_n(q)$ which are $(2,3)$-generated, i.e., which are generated by an involution and an element of order $3$. This also gives the classification of the finite simple…

Every finite non-abelian group of order $n$ has a non-central element whose centralizer has order exceeding $n^{1/3}$. The proof does not rely on the classification of finite simple groups, yet it uses the Feit-Thompson theorem.

In this note we study a class of finite groups for which the orders of subgroups satisfy a certain inequality. In particular, characterizations of the well-known groups $\mathbb{Z}_2\times\mathbb{Z}_2$ and $S_3$ are obtained.

The following result is received: Let $H$ be a non-normal maximal subgroup of a finite solvable group $G$ and let $q \in \pi(F(H/\mathrm{Core}_GH))$, then $G$ has a Sylow $q$-subgroup $Q$ such that $N_{G}(Q) \subseteq H$.

The spectra of a finite group is the set of its element orders. We obtain an arithmetic description of finite symplectic and orthogonal groups. In particular, a description of spectra of all finite simple simplectic and orthogonal groups is…
