Let $G$ be a group acting acylindrically on a hyperbolic space and let $E$ be an exponential equation over $G$. We show that $E$ is equivalent to a finite disjunction of finite systems of pairwise independent equations which are either…

A group has finite palindromic width if there exists $n$ such that every element can be expressed as a product of $n$ or fewer palindromic words. We show that if $G$ has finite palindromic width with respect to some generating set, then so…

A \emph{finite cover} of a group $G$ is a finite collection $\mathcal{C}$ of proper subgroups of $G$ with the property that $\bigcup \mathcal{C} = G$. A finite group admits a finite cover if and only if it is noncyclic. More generally, it…

In this note we determine the finite groups that can be written as the union of any three irredundant/distinct proper subgroups. The finite groups that can uniquely be written as the union of three proper subgroups are also characterized.

In this paper, we will prove some sufficient conditions for the solvability of groups.

A group $G$ is called subgroup conjugacy separable if for every pair of non-conjugate finitely generated subgroups of $G$, there exists a finite quotient of $G$ where the images of these subgroups are not conjugate. We prove that limit…

Let G=SO(n,1) and Gamma a geometrically finite Zariski dense subgroup of G which is contained in an arithmetic subgroup of G. Denoting by Gamma(q) the principal congruence subgroup of Gamma of level q, and fixing a positive number \lambda_0…

A subgroup $H$ of a group $G$ is said to be an $IC\Phi$-subgroup of $G$ if $H \cap [H,G] \le \Phi(H)$. We analyze the structure of a finite group $G$ under the assumption that some given subgroups of $G$ are $IC\Phi$-subgroups of $G$. A new…

We investigate the finite soluble groups $G$ with the following property (replacement property): for every irredundant generating set $\{g_1,\dots,g_m\}$ of maximal size and for any $1\neq g\in G$ there exists an $i\in \{1,\dots,m\}$ so…

Let $X$ be a compact Riemann surface of genus $g\geq 2$. Let $Aut(X)$ be its group of automorphisms and $G\subseteq Aut(X)$ a subgroup. Sharp upper bounds for $|G|$ in terms of $g$ are known if $G$ belongs to certain classes of groups, e.g.…

Let G be an abelian group and let lambda be the smallest rank of any group whose direct sum with a free group is isomorphic to G. If lambda is uncountable, then G has lambda pairwise disjoint, non-free subgroups. There is an example where…

For any group G, let C(G) denote the set of centralizers of G. We say that a group G has n centralizers (G is a Cn-group) if |C(G)| = n. In this note, we prove that every finite Cn-group with n ? 21 is soluble and this estimate is sharp.…

Let $G$ be a finite group, and let $V$ be a completely reducible faithful $G$-module. By a result of Glauberman it has been known for a long time that if $G$ is nilpotent of class 2, then $|G| < |V|$. In this paper we generalize this result…

Let $d$ be a positive integer. A finite group is called $d$-maximal if it can be generated by precisely $d$ elements, while its proper subgroups have smaller generating sets. For $d\in\{1,2\}$, the $d$-maximal groups have been classified up…

We prove that if the average of the degrees of the irreducible characters of a finite group $G$ is less than 16/5, then $G$ is solvable. This solves a conjecture of I.M. Isaacs, M. Loukaki, and the first author. We discuss related…

In this paper, we introduce several notions of "dimension" of a finite group, involving sizes of generating sets and certain configurations of maximal subgroups. We focus on the inequality $m(G) \leq \mathrm{MaxDim}(G)$, giving a family of…

Let G be a finite group. Denote by \psi(G) the sum \psi(G)=\sum_{x\in G}|x| where |x| denotes the order of the element x, and by o(G) the quotient o(G)=\frac{\psi(G)}{|G|}. Confirming a conjecture posed by E.I. Khukhro, A. Moreto and M.…

Let $G$ be a finite group. A family $\mathcal{M}$ of maximal subgroups of $G$ is called `irredundant' if its intersection is not equal to the intersection of any proper subfamily. $\mathcal{M}$ is called `maximal irredundant' if…

A subgroup $A$ of a group~$G$ is said to be {\sl NS-supplemented} in $G$, if there exists a subgroup~$B$ of $G$ such that $G=AB$ and whenever $X$~is a normal subgroup of~$A$ and $p\in \pi(B)$, there exists a Sylow $p$-subgroup~$B_p$ of~$B$…

Over each nontrivial finite group $G$, there exists a finite system of equations having no solutions in larger finite groups but having a solution in a periodic group containing $G$. We prove several similar facts about amenable, orderable,…
