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…

It is well known that if G is a finite group then the group of endotrivial modules is finitely generated. In this paper we investigate endotrivial modules over arbitrary finite group schemes. Our results can be applied to computing the…

In this paper, we introduce a new function related to the sum of element orders of finite groups. It is used to give some criteria for a finite group to be cyclic, abelian, nilpotent, supersolvable and solvable, respectively.

This paper develops links between the Burnside ring of a finite group $G$ and the slice Burnside ring}. The goal is to gain a better understanding of ghost maps, idempotents, prime spectrum of these Burnside rings and connections between…

In this article, we show that for a partial skew group ring R*G, where R is a commutative ring, each non-zero ideal of R*G intersects R non-trivially if and only if R is a maximal commutative subring of R*G. As a consequence, we obtain…

Suppose that a finite solvable group $G$ acts faithfully, irreducibly and quasi-primitively on a finite vector space $V$, and $G$ is not metacyclic. Then $G$ always has a regular orbit on $V$ except for a few "small" cases. We completely…

A homotopy theoretic description is given for trivial unit conjecture in the group ring ZG.

Given a finite group $G$, the solubilizer of an element $x$, denoted by $\Sol_G(x)$, is the set of all elements $y$ such that $\langle x, y\rangle$ is a soluble subgroup of $G$. In this paper, we provide a classification for all…

In this paper we use families of finite subgroups to study Grothendieck rings associated to certain discrete groups, such as the arithmetic ones.

We consider the following problem stated by Vdovin (2010) in the "Kourovka notebook" (Problem 17.41): Let $H$ be a solvable subgroup of a finite group $G$ that has no nontrivial solvable normal subgroups. Do there always exist five…

We study unit groups of rings of the form $\mathbb{F}_2[x,y]/(y^2 + gy + h)$, for $g, h \in \mathbb{F}_2[x]$ -- in particular, the question of (non)triviality of such unit groups. Up to automorphisms of $\mathbb{F}_2[x,y]$ we classify such…

Let $p$ be a prime number and suppose that every maximal subgroup of a finite group is either $p$-nilpotent or has prime index. Such group need not be $p$-solvable, and we study its structure by proving that only one nonabelian simple group…

This is the second one in a series of papers classifying the factorizations of almost simple groups with nonsolvable factors. In this paper we deal with almost simple unitary groups.

We consider groups of finite Morley rank with solvable local subgroups of even and mixed types. We also consider miscellaneous aspects of small groups of finite Morley rank of odd type.

It is a long-standing open problem raised by Starostin to describe all finite groups with soluble centralizers of involutions. One can observe that if the centralizer fusion system of an involution is nilpotent, then the centralizer of that…

Considering a finite group $G$, for any element $x\in G$, the solvabilizer of $x$ in $G$ is defined as $Sol_G(x)=\{y \in G : \langle x, y \rangle \text{ is solvable}\}$. In this paper, we introduce $Solv(G)$ as the number of distinct…

In this paper we study the finite groups in which every element has prime power order, briefly them EPPO-groups. The classification of EPPO-groups is given including the cases of solvable, non-solvable and simple EPPO-groups. This paper is…

Olivieri, del R{\'{\i}}o and Sim{\'o}n defined strongly monomial groups and a significant result proved by them is the explicit description of the simple components of the rational group algebra $\mathbb{Q}G$ of a strongly monomial group…

In this note we determine the finite groups that can be written as the union of any three irredundant/distinct proper subgroups. The finite groups that can uniquely be written as the union of three proper subgroups are also characterized.

A countable group is residually finite if every nontrivial element can act nontrivially on a finite set. When a group fails to be residually finite, we might want to measure how drastically it fails - it could be that only finitely many…
