We study the non-abelian tensor square $G\otimes G$ for the class of groups G that are finitely generated modulo their derived subgroup. In particular, we find conditions on G/G' so that $G\otimes G$ is isomorphic to the direct product of…

Let $G$ be a group. We denote by $\nu(G)$ an extension of the non-abelian tensor square $G \otimes G$ by $G \times G$. We prove that if $G$ is finite-by-nilpotent, then the non-abelian tensor square $G \otimes G$ is finite-by-nilpotent.…

For a group $ G $ we consider its tensor square $G \otimes G$ and exterior square $G \wedge G$. We prove that for a circularly orderable group $G$, under some assumptions on $H_1(G)$ and $H_2(G)$, its exterior square and tensor square are…

Let $G$ be a group. We denote by $\nu(G)$ a certain extension of the non-abelian tensor square $G \otimes G$ by $G \times G$. We prove that if $G$ is a finitely generated group in which the set of all simple tensors $T_{\otimes}(G)$ is…

There is a long-standing problem of algebra to extend the symmetric monoidal structure of abelian groups, given by the tensor product, to a non abelian setting. In this paper we show that such an extension is possible. Morover our non…

Let $G$ be a group. We denote by $\nu(G)$ a certain extension of the non-abelian tensor square $G \otimes G$ by $G \times G$. In this paper we prove that the derived subgroup $\nu(G)'$ is a central product of three normal subgroups of…

Let $G$ and $H$ be groups that act compatibly on each other. We denote by $[G,H]$ the derivative subgroup of $G$ under $H$. We prove that if the set $\{g^{-1}g^h \mid g \in G, h \in H\}$ has $m$ elements, then the derivative $[G,H]$ is…

The authors extend to the $q-$tensor square $G \otimes^q G$ of a group $G$, $q$ a non-negative integer, some structural results due to R. D. Blyth, F. Fumagalli and M. Morigi concerning the non-abelian tensor square $G \otimes G$ ($q = 0$).…

In this paper, we investigate the group $\nu(G)$, an extension of the non-abelian tensor square $G$ by the direct product $G\times G$, in order to determine a presentation of $G \otimes G$ when $G$ is a general finite metacyclic group,…

Let $G$ be a finite $p$-group. In this paper we obtain bounds for the exponent of the non-abelian tensor square $G \otimes G$ and of $\nu(G)$, which is a certain extension of $G \otimes G$ by $G \times G$. In particular, we bound…

Let $G$ be a finitely generated group. We prove that the $n$-fold tensor product $G^{\otimes n}$ is finite (resp. polycyclic) if and only $G$ is finite (resp. polycyclic). Further, assuming that $G$ is finitely presented, we show that…

The nonabelian tensor square $G\otimes G$ of a polycyclic group $G$ is a polycyclic group and its structure arouses interest in many contexts. The same assertion is still true for wider classes of solvable groups. This motivated us to work…

For every $p$-group of order $p^n$ with the derived subgroup of order $p^m$, Rocco in \cite{roc} has shown that the order of tensor square of $G$ is at most $p^{n(n-m)}$. In the present paper not only we improve his bound for non-abelian…

Let $G$ be a group. We denote by $\nu(G)$ a certain extension of the non-abelian tensor square $[G,G^{\varphi}]$ by $G \times G$. We prove that if $G$ is a finite potent $p$-group, then $[G,G^{\varphi}]$ and the $k$-th term of the lower…

For every finite $p$-group $G$ of order $p^n$ with derived subgroup of order $p^m$, Rocco in \cite{roc} proved that the order of tensor square of $G$ is at most $p^{n(n-m)}$. This upper bound has been improved recently by author in…

We show that the Schur multiplier of a Noetherian group need not be finitely generated. We prove that the non-abelian tensor product of a polycyclic (resp. polycyclic-by-finite) group and a Noetherian group, is a polycyclic (resp.…

We consider linear groups which do not contain unipotent elements of infinite order, which includes all linear groups in positive characteristic, and show that this class of groups has good properties which resemble those held by groups of…
