We investigate the possible structures imposed on a finite group by its possession of an automorphism sending a large fraction of the group elements to their cubes, the philosophy being that this should force the group to be, in some sense,…

In this note we show that many subgroups of mapping class groups of infinite-type surfaces without boundary have trivial centers, including all normal subgroups. Using similar techniques, we show that every nontrivial normal subgroup of a…

Let p be a prime, let G be a p-valuable, abelian-by-procyclic group, and let k be a field of characteristic p. We will prove that all faithful prime ideals of the completed group algebra kG are controlled by the centre of G, and a complete…

In 1934, Garrett Birkhoff has shown that the number of isomorphism classes of finite metabelian groups of order $p^{22}$ tends to infinity with $p$. More precisely, for each prime number $p$ there is a family…

In this paper we study the existence of at least one non-inner automorphism of order p of a finite thin p-group, for any prime p.

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 present a series of examples of precompact, noncompact, reflexive topological Abelian groups. Some of them are pseudocompact or even countably compact, but we show that there exist precompact non-pseudocompact reflexive groups as well.…

We classify the category of finite-dimensional real division composition algebras having a non-abelian Lie algebra of derivations. Our complete and explicit classification is largely achieved by introducing the concept of a…

It is shown that the relatively free centre-by-metabelian and (class-2 nilpotent)-by-abelian pro-p groups on 2 generators are each finitely axiomatizable in the class of all profinite groups.

It is proved that any infinite Abelian topological group of prime exponent has an infinite maximally almost periodic subgroup.

In this paper, we study precompact abelian groups G that contain no sequence {x_n} such that {0} \cup {\pm x_n : n \in N} is infinite and quasi-convex in G, and x_n --> 0. We characterize groups with this property in the following classes…

We enumerate the number of isoclinism classes of semi-extraspecial $p$-groups with derived subgroup of order $p^2$. To do this, we enumerate $\text{GL}(2, p)$-orbits of sets of irreducible, monic polynomials in $\mathbb{F}_p[x]$. Along the…

We investigate topologies on groups which arise naturally from their algebraic structure, including the Frech\'et-Markov, Hausdorff-Markov, and various kinds of Zariski topologies. Answering a question by Dikranjan and Toller, we show that…

Let $G$ be a finite non-abelian group and $\kappa_1(G)$ the number of conjugate classes of minimal non-abelian subgroups of $G$. The structure of $G$ with $\kappa_1(G)=1$ is determined. In the case of $G$ being the $p$-groups, the structure…

This paper extends the study of group algebras of finite groups in which the socle of the center is an ideal. We provide a detailed analysis of the structure of these groups. In a particular case, we reach a complete characterization of the…

We provide a class of non-contracting groups containing an infinite family of fractal and weakly regular branch groups, and study certain properties including abelianization, just infiniteness, and word problem. We present an example of a…

We discuss the finiteness of the topological entropy of continuous endomorphims for some classes of locally compact groups. Firstly, we focus on the abelian case, imposing the condition of being compactly generated, and note an interesting…

For every $p\geq 2$ we show that each finite $p$-group with an unmixed Beauville structure is part of a surjective infinite projective system of finite $p$-groups with compatible unmixed Beauville structures. This leads to the new notion of…

Each Abelian subgroup of the fundamental group of a compact and locally simply connected $d$-dimensional length space with no conjugate points is isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}^k$ for some $0 \leq k \leq d$. It follows from this and previously…

In this paper, we classify the finite simple groups with an abelian Sylow subgroup.
