The object of this paper is to examine finite solvable groups whose integral group rings have only trivial central units.

In the recent paper [A14], a geometric realization to minimal representations of simple real Lie groups of non Hermitian type is given, based on the geometric setting introduced in [A11]. We give in this paper a geometric realization to…

Exotic group $C^*$-algebras are $C^*$-algebras that lie between the universal and the reduced group $C^*$-algebra of a locally compact group. We consider simple Lie groups $G$ with real rank one and investigate their exotic group…

We classify group gradings on the simple Lie algebras of types $G_2$ and $D_4$ over the field of real numbers (or any real closed field): fine gradings up to equivalence and $G$-gradings, with a fixed group $G$, up to isomorphism.

In this note, we classify all finite groups having exactly 6, 7 or 8 cyclic subgroups. This gives a partial answer to the open problem posed by Tarnauceanu (Amer. Math. Monthly, 122 (2015), 275-276). As a consequence of our results, we also…

We introduce the notion of the depth of a finite group $G$, defined as the minimal length of an unrefinable chain of subgroups from $G$ to the trivial subgroup. In this paper we investigate the depth of (non-abelian) finite simple groups.…

We show that every finite simple group is generated invariably by a Sylow subgroup and a cyclic group. It follows that that the order complex of the coset poset of an arbitrary finite group has nontrivial reduced rational homology.

We prove that the full automorphism group and the outer automorphism group of the free group of countably infinite rank are coarsely bounded. That is, these groups admit no continuous actions on a metric space with unbounded orbits, and…

The rank rk(G) of a profinite group G is the supremum of d(H), where H ranges over all closed subgroups of G and d(H) denotes the minimal cardinality of a topological generating set for H. A compact topological group G admits the structure…

We introduce and study Polish topologies on various spaces of countable enumerated groups, where an enumerated group is simply a group whose underlying set is the set of natural numbers. Using elementary tools and well known examples from…

The famous Tits' alternative states that a linear group either contains a nonabelian free group or is soluble-by-(locally finite). We study in this paper similar alternatives in pseudofinite groups. We show for instance that an…

We characterize finite-dimensional thick representations over ${\Bbb C}$ of connected complex semi-simple Lie groups by irreducible representations which are weight multiplicity-free and whose weight posets are totally ordered sets.…

This is the second paper in the series of three. We study restricted Lie algebras of polycyclic groups and obtain conditions for existence of $p$-series with associated restricted Lie algebra abelian or free abelian with rank equal to the…

We note that a recent result of the second author yields upper bounds for odd-primary homotopy exponents of compact simple Lie groups which are often quite close to the lower bounds obtained from v_1-periodic homotopy theory.

We describe complete simplicial toric varieties on which a unipotent group acts with a finite number of orbits. We also provide a complete list of such varieties in the case where the dimension is equal to 2.

We prove that for a connected, semisimple linear Lie group $G$ the spaces of generating pairs of elements or subgroups are well-behaved in a number of ways: the set of pairs of elements generating a dense subgroup is Zariski-open in the…

We prove that every partially ordered simple group of rank one which is not Riesz embeds into a simple Riesz group of rank one if and only if it is not isomorphic to the additive group of the rationals. Using this result, we construct…

One of the algebraic structures that has emerged recently in the study of the operator product expansions of chiral fields in conformal field theory is that of a Lie conformal algebra [K]. A Lie pseudoalgebra is a generalization of the…

A symplectic Lie group is a Lie group with a left-invariant symplectic form. Its Lie algebra structure is that of a quasi-Frobenius Lie algebra. In this note, we identify the groupoid analogue of a symplectic Lie group. We call the…

The classification of finite simple strongly real groups is complete. It is easy to see that strong reality for every nonabelian finite simple group is equivalent to the fact that each element can be written as a product of two involutions.…
