A real valued function, $G$, is provided whose Fourier transform, $\hat G$, is an entire function that satisfies, $E(s)\zeta(s) = \hat G(\frac{s -\frac{1}{2}}{i})$. Then $\hat G(\gamma) = 0$ for all nonreal zeros, $\rho = \frac{1}{2} + i…

The main objective of this paper is the following two results. (1) There exists a computable bi-orderable group that does not have a computable bi-ordering; (2) There exists a bi-orderable, two-generated recursively presented solvable group…

An analogue of Burnside's Lemma for 2-transitive groups is shown to hold for a class of topological groups. If the group is compact the representation is finite and splits into an irreducible and the constant functions. If both the group…

We construct irreducible unitary representations of a finitely generated free group which are weakly contained in the left regular representation and in which a given linear combination of the generators has an eigenvalue. When the…

Although any finite Bol loop of odd prime exponent is solvable, we show there exist such Bol loops with trivial center. We also construct finitely generated, infinite, simple Bruck loops of odd prime exponent for sufficiently large primes.…

We study 2-representations, i.e., actions of 2-groups on 2-vector spaces. Our main focus is character theory for 2-representations. To this end we employ the technique of extended Burnside rings. Our main theorem is that the Ganter-Kapranov…

A $P_4$-free graph is called a cograph. In this paper we partially characterize finite groups whose power graph is a cograph. As we will see, this problem is a generalization of the determination of groups in which every element has prime…

The power graph of a group $G$ is a simple and undirected graph with vertex set $G$ and two distinct vertices are adjacent if one is a power of the other. In this article, we characterize (non-cyclic) finite groups of prime exponent and…

Let G be a finite group and let S be a G-set. The Burnside ring of G has a natural structure of a lambda-ring. However, a priori the images of S under the lambda-operations can only be computed implicitly. In this paper we establish an…

In this paper we prove that any strongly embedded subgroup of a K*-group G of finite Morley rank and odd type that does not interpret any bad field is solvable if its Pruefer 2-rank is at least 2. If the normal 2-rank of G is at least 3…

A group $G$ is invariably generated by a subset $S$ of $G$ if $G= s^{g(s)} \mid s\in S$ for each choice of $g(s) \in G$, $s \in S$. Answering two questions posed by Kantor, Lubotzky and Shalev, we prove that the free prosoluble group of…

We construct a non-free but aleph_1-separable, torsion-free abelian group G with a pure free subgroup B such that all subgroups of G disjoint from B are free and such that G/B is divisible. This answers a question of Irwin and shows that a…

We consider a finite group $G$ with a normal subgroup $N$ so that all elements of $G \setminus N$ have prime power order. We prove that if there is a prime $p$ so that all the elements in $G \setminus N$ have $p$-power order, then either…

We give an affirmative answer to the Grunwald problem for new families of non-solvable finite groups G, away from the set of primes dividing |G|. Furthermore, we show that such G verify the condition (BM), that is, the Brauer-Manin…

We focus our attention on the notion of intrinsic Lipschitz graphs, inside a subclass of Carnot groups of step 2 which includes a corank 1 Carnot groups (and so the Heisenberg groups), Free groups of step 2 and the complexified Heisenberg…

We propose an algorithm which for any recursive group $G$, given by its effectively enumerable generators and recursively enumerable relations, outputs an explicit embedding of $G$ into a finitely presented group directly written by its…

Building on the previous extensive study of Yang, Gould and the present author, we provide a more precise insight into the group-theoretical ramifications of the word problem for free idempotent generated semigroups over finite biordered…

We study the derived tensor product of the representation rings of subgroups of a given compact Lie group G. That is, given two such subgroups H_1 and H_2, we study the tensor product of the associated representation rings R(H_1) and R(H_2)…

Let V be the 7-dimensional irreducible representation of the quantum group U_q(g_2). For each n, there is a map from the braid group B_n to the endomorphism algebra of the n-th tensor power of V, given by R-matrices. We can extend this…

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…
