We give a list of finite groups containing all finite groups $G$ such that the group of units $\Z G^*$ of the integral group ring $\Z G$ is subgroup separable. There are only two types of these groups $G$ for which we cannot decide wether…

We study the Prime Graph Question for integral group rings. This question can be reduced to almost simple groups by a result of Kimmerle and Konovalov. We prove that the Prime Graph Question has an affirmative answer for all almost simple…

It is well known that if two finite groups have the same symmetric tensor categories of representations over C, then they are isomorphic. We study the following question: when do two finite groups G1,G2 have the same tensor categories of…

Let $G$ be a linear algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p\geq 0$. We show that if $H_1$ and $H_2$ are connected subgroups of $G$ such that $H_1$ and $H_2$ have a common maximal unipotent subgroup and…

For finite nilpotent groups $G$ and $G^{\prime}$, and a $G$-adapted ring $S$ (the rational integers, for example), it is shown that any isomorphism between the centers of the group rings $SG$ and $SG^{\prime}$ is monomial, i.e., maps class…

We prove that the isomorphism problem for finitely generated fully residually free groups is decidable. We also show that each finitely generated fully residually free group G has a decomposition that is invariant under automorphisms of G,…

M.Newman has asked if it is the case that whenever H and K are isomorphic subgroups of a finite solvable group G with H maximal, then K is also maximal. This question was considered in a paper of I.M. Isaacs and the second author, where…

We give a solution to Dehn's isomorphism problem for the class of all hyperbolic groups, possibly with torsion. We also prove a relative version for groups with peripheral structures. As a corollary, we give a uniform solution to…

Let $G$ be a finite group, $N$ a nilpotent normal subgroup of $G$ and let $\mathrm{V}(\mathbb{\Z} G, N)$ denote the group formed by the units of the integral group ring $\mathbb{\Z} G$ of $G$ which map to the identity under the natural…

Let $G$ and $H$ be two simple graphs. A bijection $\phi:V(G)\rightarrow V(H)$ is called an isomorphism between $G$ and $H$ if $(\phi v_i)(\phi v_j)\in E(H)$ $\Leftrightarrow$ $v_i v_j\in E(G)$, $\forall v_i,v_j \in V(G)$. In the case that…

Let G be a group. The intersection graph G(G) of G is an undirected graph without loops and multiple edges defined as follows: the vertex set is the set of all proper nontrivial subgroups of G; and there is an edge between two distinct…

We determine the number of elements of order two in the group of normalized units V(F_2G) of the group algebra F_2G of a 2-group of maximal class over the field F_2 of two elements. As a consequence for the 2-groups G and H of maximal class…

We introduce a directed graph related to a group $G$, which we call the N-prime graph $\Gamma_{\rm{N}}(G)$ of $G$ and which is a refinement of the classical Gruenberg-Kegel graph. The vertices of $\Gamma_{\rm{N}}(G)$ are the primes $p$ such…

An order is a commutative ring that as an abelian group is finitely generated and free. A commutative ring is reduced if it has no non-zero nilpotent elements. In this paper we use a new tool, namely, the fact that every reduced order has a…

It is shown that in the units of augmentation one of an integral group ring $\mathbb{Z} G$ of a finite group $G$, a noncyclic subgroup of order $p^{2}$, for some odd prime $p$, exists only if such a subgroup exists in $G$. The corresponding…

Two $G$-sets ($G$ a finite group) are called linearly equivalent over a commutative ring $k$ if the permutation representations $k[X]$ and $k[Y]$ are isomorphic as modules over the group algebra $kG$. Pairs of linearly equivalent…

Firstly, we give a partial solution to the isomorphism problem for uniserial modules of finite length with the help of the morphisms between these modules over an arbitrary ring. Later, under suitable assumptions on the lattice of the…

We show that the following problems are decidable in a rank 2 free group F_2: does a given finitely generated subgroup H contain primitive elements? and does H meet the orbit of a given word u under the action of G, the group of…

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $(P_i)_{i=1}^n$ be Sylow subgroups for distinct primes $p_1,\ldots,p_n$. We conjecture that there exists $x \in G$ such that $P_i \cap P_i^x$ is inclusion-minimal in $\{ P_i \cap P_i^g : g \in G\}$ for all…

We introduce two refinements of the class of $5/2$-groups, inspired by the classes of automorphism groups of configurations and automorphism groups of unit circulant digraphs. We show that both of these classes have the property that any…
