We extend a classical theorem of P. Hall that claims that if the index of every maximal subgroup of a finite group $G$ is a prime or the square of a prime, then $G$ is solvable. Precisely, we prove that if one allows, in addition, the…

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…

We prove the following results. Let w be a multilinear commutator word. If G is a profinite group in which all w-values are contained in a union of countably many periodic subgroups, then the verbal subgroup w(G) is locally finite. If G is…

The study of the complexity of the equation satisfiability problem in finite groups had been initiated by Goldmann and Russell (2002) where they showed that this problem is in polynomial time for nilpotent groups while it is NP-complete for…

Let $G$ be a finite group, and write ${\rm cd}(G)$ for the degree set of the complex irreducible characters of $G$. The group $G$ is said to satisfy the {\it two-prime hypothesis} if, for any distinct degrees $a, b \in {\rm cd}(G)$, the…

Let p be a prime number. We give the explicit structure of 2- nilpotent multiplier for each finite 2-generator p-group of class two. Moreover, 2-capable groups in that class are characterized.

Let $p$ be a prime and let $G$ be a finite group such that the smallest prime that divides $|G|$ is $p$. We find sharp bounds, depending on $p$, for the commuting probability and the average character degree to guarantee that $G$ is…

Let $\Sigma_b$ be a compact Riemann surface of genus $b \geq 2$ and let $\mathsf{P}_2(\Sigma_b)=\pi_1(\Sigma_b \times \Sigma_b - \Delta)$ be the corresponding pure braid group on two strands. A finite quotient $\varphi \colon…

A group $G$ is said to have restricted centralizers if for each $g \in G$ the centralizer $C_G(g)$ either is finite or has finite index in $G$. Shalev showed that a profinite group with restricted centralizers is virtually abelian. We take…

We show that a finitely generated soluble group is virtually nilpotent if and only if the diameter of its finite coset spaces admits a uniform polynomial lower bound in terms of their size. We obtain the same conclusion for certain finitely…

Let G be a linear Lie group. We define the G-reducibility of a continuous or discrete cocycle modulo N. We show that a G-valued continuous or discrete cocycle which is GL(n,C)-reducible is in fact G-reducible modulo 2 if…

A 2-covering for a finite group $G$ is a set of proper subgroups of $G$ such that every pair of elements of $G$ is contained in at least one subgroup in the set. The minimal number of subgroups needed to 2-cover a group $G$ is called the…

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…

A coprime commutator in a profinite group $G$ is an element of the form $[x,y]$, where $x$ and $y$ have coprime order and an anti-coprime commutator is a commutator $[x,y]$ such that the orders of $x$ and $y$ are divisible by the same…

The article deals with finite groups in which commutators have prime power order (CPPO-groups). We show that if G is a soluble CPPO-group, then the order of the commutator subgroup G' is divisible by at most two primes.

For a finite subgroup $G$ of $\operatorname{GL}(2, \mathbb C)$, we consider the moduli space ${\mathcal M}_\theta$ of $G$-constellations. It depends on the stability parameter $\theta$ and if $\theta$ is generic it is a resolution of…

Let $q$ be a prime and $A$ a finite $q$-group of exponent $q$ acting by automorphisms on a finite $q'$-group $G$. Assume that $A$ has order at least $q^3$. We show that if $\gamma_{\infty} (C_{G}(a))$ has order at most $m$ for any $a \in…

Given a group $G$, we write $x^G$ for the conjugacy class of $G$ containing the element $x$. A famous theorem of B. H. Neumann states that if $G$ is a group in which all conjugacy classes are finite with bounded size, then the derived group…

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…

Given a group $G$ with bounded torsion that acts properly on a systolic complex, we show that every solvable subgroup of $G$ is finitely generated and virtually abelian of rank at most $2$. In particular this gives a new proof of the above…
