For a group $\Gamma$, a $\Gamma$-labelled graph is an undirected graph $G$ where every orientation of an edge is assigned an element of $\Gamma$ so that opposite orientations of the same edge are assigned inverse elements. A path in $G$ is…

Let $\mathbf{F}$ be a real extension of $\mathbb{Q}$, $G$ a finite group and $\mathbf{F}G$ its group algebra. Given both a group homomorphism $\sigma:G\rightarrow \{\pm1\}$ (called an orientation) and a group involution $^\ast:G \rightarrow…

We explore the structure of the p-adic automorphism group Gamma of the infinite rooted regular tree. We determine the asymptotic order of a typical element, answering an old question of Turan. We initiate the study of a general dimension…

An Engel sink of an element $g$ of a group $G$ is a set ${\mathscr E}(g)$ such that for every $x\in G$ all sufficiently long commutators $[...[[x,g],g],\dots ,g]$ belong to ${\mathscr E}(g)$. (Thus, $g$ is an Engel element precisely when we…

The {\em distinguishing number} of a group $G$ acting faithfully on a set $V$ is the least number of colors needed to color the elements of $V$ so that no non-identity element of the group preserves the coloring. The {\em distinguishing…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finitely generated group which is hyperbolic relative to a finite family $\{H_1,...,H_n\}$ of subgroups. We prove that $\Gamma$ is uniformly embeddable in a Hilbert space if and only if each subgroup $H_i$ is uniformly…

We say that a group $G$ is almost Engel if for every $g\in G$ there is a finite set ${\mathscr E}(g)$ such that for every $x\in G$ all sufficiently long commutators $[...[[x,g],g],\dots ,g]$ belong to ${\mathscr E}(g)$, that is, for every…

The following problem is proposed as Problem 18.57 in [The Kourovka Notebook, No. 18, 2014] by D. V. Lytkina: Let $G$ be a finite $2$-group generated by involutions in which $[x, u, u] = 1$ for every $x \in G$ and every involution $u \in…

Let H be a separable complex Hilbert space. Denote by Gr(H) the Grassmann manifold of H. We study the following sets of pairs of elements in Gr(H): Delta={(S,T) in Gr(H) x Gr(H): there exists Z in Gr(H) such that S\dot{+} Z=T \dot{+} Z=H },…

For every group $G$, the set $\mathcal{P}(G)$ of its subsets forms a semiring under set-theoretical union $\cup$ and element-wise multiplication $\cdot$ and forms an involution semigroup under $\cdot$ and element-wise inversion ${}^{-1}$.…

The set \[ \Gamma {\stackrel{\rm def}{=}} \{(z+w,zw):|z|\leq 1,|w|\leq 1\} \subset {\mathbb{C}}^2 \] has intriguing complex-geometric properties; it has a 3-parameter group of automorphisms, its distinguished boundary is a ruled surface…

We investigate the orderability properties of fundamental groups of 3-dimensional manifolds. Many 3-manifold groups support left-invariant orderings, including all compact P^2-irreducible manifolds with positive first Betti number. For…

The prime graph, or Gruenberg--Kegel graph, of a finite group $G$ is the graph $\Gamma(G)$ whose vertices are the prime divisors of $|G|$, and whose edges are the pairs $\{p,q\}$ for which $G$ contains an element of order $pq$. A finite…
