We show that if $\kappa \leq \omega$ and there exists a group topology without non-trivial convergent sequences on an Abelian group $H$ such that $H^n$ is countably compact for each $n<\kappa$ then there exists a topological group $G$ such…

Let $\lambda(G)$ be the maximum number of subgroups in an irredundant covering of a finite group $G$. We prove that the finite groups with $\lambda(G)=|G|-t$, where $t\leq 5$, are solvable, and classify such groups.

We conjecture that every infinite group $G$ can be partitioned into countably many cells $G=\bigcup_{n\in\omega}A_n$ such that $cov(A_nA_n^{-1})=|G|$ for each $n\in\omega$. Here $cov(A)=\min\{|X|:X\subseteq G, G=XA\}$. We confirm this…

Thompson's theorem stated that a finite group $G$ is solvable if and only if every $2$-generated subgroup of $G$ is solvable. In this paper, we prove some new criteria for both solvability and nilpotency of a finite group using certain…

(1) Every infinite, Abelian compact (Hausdorff) group K admits 2^|K|-many dense, non-Haar-measurable subgroups of cardinality |K|. When K is nonmetrizable, these may be chosen to be pseudocompact. (2) Every infinite Abelian group G admits a…

Given a finite group $G$, we denote by $\nu(G)$ the probability that two randomly chosen elements of $G$ generate a nilpotent subgroup. We prove that if $\nu(G)>1/12,$ then $G$ is solvable.

Let $D$ be a division ring with center $F$, and $G$ a subnormal or quasinormal subgroup of $D^*$. We show that if $G$ is locally solvable, then $G$ is contained in $F$.

A space has $\sigma$-compact tightness if the closures of $\sigma$-compact subsets determines the topology. We consider a dense set variant that we call densely k-separable. We consider the question of whether every densely k-separable…

Let $\lambda(G)$ be the maximum number of subgroups in an irredundant covering of the finite group $G$. We prove that if $G$ is a group with $\lambda(G) \leqslant 6$, then $G$ is supersolvable. We also describe the structure of the groups…

We prove that: I. If $L$ is a $T_1$ space, $|L|>1$ and $d(L) \leq \kappa \geq \omega$, then there is a submaximal dense subspace $X$ of $L^{2^\kappa}$ such that $|X|=\Delta(X)=\kappa$; II. If $\frak{c}\leq\kappa=\kappa^\omega<\lambda$ and…

We obtain restrictions on the topology of a closed connected manifold B that bounds a (possibly noncompact) manifold whose interior V admits a complete Riemannian metric of nonpositive sectional curvature. If G denotes the fundamental group…

We prove that each \omega-categorical, generically stable group is solvable-by-finite.

A 2-covering for a finite group $G$ is a set of proper subgroups of $G$ such that every pair of elements of $G$ is contained in at least one subgroup in the set. The minimal number of subgroups needed to 2-cover a group $G$ is called the…

Assume that there is no quasi-measurable cardinal smaller than $2^\omega$. ($\kappa$ is quasi measurable if there exists $\kappa $-additive ideal $\ci $ of subsets of $\kappa $ such that the Boolean algebra $P(\kappa)/\ci$ satisfies c.c.c.)…

We give a new proof that there are arbitrarily large indecomposable abelian groups; moreover, the groups constructed are absolutely indecomposable, that is, they remain indecomposable in any generic extension. However, any absolutely rigid…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $\psi(G)=\sum_{g\in{G}}{o(g)}$. There are some results about the relation between $\psi(G)$ and the structure of $G$. For instance, it is proved that if $G$ is a group of order $n$ and…

In this paper we describe some properties of groups $G$ that contain a solvable subgroup of finite prime-power index (Theorem 1 and Corollaries 2--3). We prove that if $G$ is a non-solvable group that contains a solvable subgroup of index…

Conditions on a topological space $X$ under which the space $C(X,\mathbb{R})$ of continuous real-valued maps with the Isbell topology $\kappa $ is a topological group (topological vector space) are investigated. It is proved that the…

A Hausdorff topological group G is minimal if every continuous isomorphism f : G --> H between G and a Hausdorff topological group H is open. Clearly, every compact Hausdorff group is minimal. It is well known that every infinite compact…

In this paper we define countable-configuration of groups and prove that two Hopfian groups with the same set of countable-configurations are isomorphic and vice versa. We also study the countable paradoxical decomposition of groups. It is…
