We compute the relative divergence and the subgroup distortion of Bestvina-Brady subgroups. We also show that for each integer $n\geq 3$, there is a free subgroup of rank $n$ of some right-angled Artin group whose inclusion is not a…

For an element $g$ of a group $G$, an Engel sink is a subset ${\mathscr E}(g)$ such that for every $x\in G$ all sufficiently long commutators $[...[[x,g],g],\dots ,g]$ belong to ${\mathscr E}(g)$. A~finite group is nilpotent if and only if…

In \cite{1}, a class of gyrogroups $(G,\odot)$ has been associated to certain groups $(G,\cdot)$. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for $(G,\odot)$ to be gyrocommutative. We also prove that under a suitable assumption two finite…

We construct the first known examples of infinite subgroups of the outer automorphism group of Out(A_Gamma), for certain right-angled Artin groups A_Gamma. This is achieved by introducing a new class of graphs, called focused graphs, whose…

For a groupoid $S$ with elements $a$ and $b$, if $ba = a$, then $b$ is a left identity of $a$ and $a$ is a right zero of $b$. We define the left identity set of $a$ to be the set of all left identities of $a$ in $S$, and similarly for the…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite group, let $\theta$ be an involution of $\Gamma$, and let $\rho$ be an irreducible complex representation of $\Gamma$. We bound $\dim \rho^{\Gamma^{\theta}}$ in terms of the smallest dimension of a faithful…

Let G be a simple graph with vertex set V(G). A subset S of V(G) is independent if no two vertices from S are adjacent. The graph G is known to be a Konig-Egervary if alpha(G) + mu(G)= |V(G)|, where alpha(G) denotes the size of a maximum…

We investigate two open questions in a cohomology theory relative to the family of finite subgroups. The problem of whether the F-cohomological dimension is subadditive is reduced to extensions by groups of prime order. We show that every…

The Gruenberg--Kegel graph (or the prime graph) $\Gamma(G)$ of a finite group $G$ is defined as follows. The vertex set of $\Gamma(G)$ is the set of all prime divisors of the order of $G$. Two distinct primes $r$ and $s$ regarded as…

I. M. Chiswell has asked whether every group that admits a free isometric action (without inversions) on a $\Lambda$-tree is orderable. We give an example of a multiple HNN extension $\Gamma$ which acts freely on a $\mathbb{Z}^2$-tree but…

A classical discovery known as Fenchel's conjecture and proved in the 1950s, shows that every co-compact Fuchsian group $F$ has a normal subgroup of finite index isomorphic to the fundamental group of a compact unbordered orientable…

We describe constraints that need to be satisfied ``near the top'' of the portraits of the elements in Grigorchuk group. These constraints, if satisfied by the portraits of all sections of some binary tree automorphism, guarantee that this…

We describe the structure of virtually solvable normal subgroups in the automorphism group of a right-angled Artin group ${\rm Aut}(A_\Gamma)$. In particular, we prove that a finite normal subgroup in ${\rm Aut}(A_\Gamma)$ has at most order…

For an intra-regular or a left regular and left duo ordered $\Gamma$-semigroup $M$, we describe the principal filter of $M$ which plays an essential role in the structure of this type of $po$-$\Gamma$-semigroups. We also prove that an…
