If $G$ is a finite Abelian group, define $s_{k}(G)$ to be the minimal $m$ such that a sequence of $m$ elements in $G$ always contains a $k$-element subsequence which sums to zero. Recently Bitz et al. proved that if $n = exp(G)$, then…

Let $R$ be a ring with pseudo-involution, $\mathfrak L$ be an odd form parameter, $\mathrm U(2n,\,R,\,\mathfrak L)$ be an odd hyperbolic unitary group, $\mathrm{EU}(2n,\,R,\,\mathfrak L)$ be it elementary subgroup and…

Let $G$ be a locally compact unimodular group, let $1\leq p<\infty$,let $\phi\in L^\infty(G)$ and assume that the Fourier multiplier $M_\phi$associated with $\phi$ is bounded on the noncommutative $L^p$-space $L^p(VN(G))$.Then $M_\phi\colon…

A finite group of order divisible by 3 in which centralizers of 3-elements are 3-subgroups will be called a C{\theta}{\theta}-group. The prime graph (or Gruenberg-Kegel graph) of a finite group G is denoted by {\Gamma}(G) (or GK(G)) and its…

We present a classification of finite $p$-groups $G$ with $\gamma_2(G)$, the commutator subgroup of $G$, of order $p^4$ and exponent $p$ such that not all elements of $\gamma_2(G)$ are commutators.

Let $p$ be a prime number, and let $S$ be the numerical semigroup generated by the prime numbers not less than $p$. We compare the orders of magnitude of some invariants of $S$ with each other, e. g., the biggest atom $u$ of $S$ with $p$…

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 provide lower bounds on the number of subgroups of a group $G$ as a function of the primes and exponents appearing in the prime factorization of $|G|$. Using these bounds, we classify all abelian groups with 22 or fewer subgroups, and…

Let $I(n)$ denote the number of isomorphism classes of subgroups of $(\Bbb Z/n\Bbb Z)^\times$, and let $G(n)$ denote the number of subgroups of $(\Bbb Z/n\Bbb Z)^\times$ counted as sets (not up to isomorphism). We prove that both $\log…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $\alpha(G)=\frac{|C(G)|}{|G|}$\,, where $C(G)$ denotes the set of cyclic subgroups of $G$. In this short note, we prove that $\alpha(G)\leq\alpha(Z(G))$ and we describe the groups $G$ for which the equality…

Let $G$ be a $p$-group of maximal class and order $p^n$. We determine whether or not the Bogomolov multiplier $B_0(G)$ is trivial in terms of the lower central series of $G$ and $P_1 = C_G(\gamma_2(G) / \gamma_4(G))$. If in addition $G$ has…

We consider the structure of finite $p$-groups $G$ having precisely three characteristic subgroups, namely $1$, $\Phi(G)$ and $G$. The structure of $G$ varies markedly depending on whether $G$ has exponent $p$ or $p^2$, and, in both cases,…

For a nilpotent Lie algebra $L$ of dimension $n$ and dim$(L^2)=m$, we find the upper bound dim$(M(L))\leq {1/2}(n+m-2)(n-m-1)+1$, where $M(L)$ denotes the Schur multiplier of $L$. In case $m=1$ the equality holds if and only if $L\cong…

It is proven that for any representation over a field of characteristic 0 of the non-abelian semidirect product of a cyclic group of prime order p and the group of order 3 the corresponding algebra of polynomial invariants is generated by…

Let $G$ be a commutative algebraic group embedded in projective space and $\Gamma$ a finitely generated subgroup of $G$. From these data we construct a chain of algebraic subgroups of $G$ which is intimately related to obstructions to…

According to Li, Nicholson and Zan, a group $G$ is said to be morphic if, for every pair $N_{1}, N_{2}$ of normal subgroups, each of the conditions $G/N_{1} \cong N_{2}$ and $G/N_{2} \cong N_{1}$ implies the other. Finite, homocyclic…

We classify gradings by arbitrary abelian groups on the classical simple Lie and Jordan superalgebras $Q(n)$, $n \geq 2$, over an algebraically closed field of characteristic different from $2$ (and not dividing $n+1$ in the Lie case): fine…

In the present paper, we study the notion of the Schur multiplier $\mathcal{M}(L)$ of an $n$-Lie superalgebra $L$, and prove that $\dim \mathcal{M}(L) \leq \sum_{i=0}^{n} {m\choose{i}} \mathcal{L}(n-i,k)$, where $\dim L=(m|k)$,…

We classify those 2-groups G which factorise as a product of two disjoint cyclic subgroups A and B, transposed by an automorphism of order 2. The case where G is metacyclic having been dealt with elsewhere, we show that for each e>2 there…

In this article we describe the 2-cocycles, Schur multiplier and representation group of discrete Heisenberg groups over the unital rings of order $p^2$. We describe all projective representations of Heisenberg groups with entries from the…
