An $integral$ of a group $G$ is a group $H$ whose commutator subgroup is isomorphic to $G$. This paper continues the investigation on integrals of groups started in the work arXiv:1803.10179. We study: (1) A sufficient condition for a bound…

Let G be a finite group. A subgroup M of G is said to be an NR-subgroup if, whenever K is normal in M, then K^G\cap M=K, where K^G is the normal closure of K in G. Using the Classification of Finite Simple Groups, we prove that if every…

We consider sequences of finitely generated discrete subgroups Gamma_i=rho_i(Gamma) of a rank 1 Lie group G, where the representations rho_i are not necessarily faithful. We show that, for algebraically convergent sequences (Gamma_i),…

Let $A$ and $G$ be finite groups such that $A$ acts coprimely on $G$ by automorphisms, assume that $G$ has a maximal $A$-invariant subgroup $M$ that is a direct product of some isomorphic simple groups, we prove that if $G$ has a…

We extend the definition of Bockstein basis $\sigma(G)$ to nilpotent groups $G$. A metrizable space $X$ is called a {\it Bockstein space} if $\dim_G(X) = \sup\{\dim_H(X) | H\in \sigma(G)\}$ for all Abelian groups $G$. Bockstein First…

In this paper, we mainly investigate the converse of a well-known theorem proved by P. Hall, and present detailed characterizations under the various assumptions of the existence of some families of Hall subgroups. In particular, we prove…

We say that a group is anti-solvable if all of its composition factors are non-abelian. We consider a particular family of anti-solvable finite groups containing the simple alternating groups for $n\neq 6$ and all 26 sporadic simple groups.…

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $H$ be a subgroup of $G$. We say that $H$ is extremely closed in $G$ if $\langle H,H^g\rangle\cap N_G(H)=H$ for all $g\in G.$ In this paper, we determine the structure of finite groups with an extremely…

Let $\Gamma$ be a Zariski-dense subgroup of a reductive group $\mathbf{G}$ defined over a field $F$. Given a finite collection of finite subgroups $H_i$ ($i \in I$) of $\mathbf{G}(F)$ avoiding the center, we establish a criterion to ensure…

The spectrum $\omega(G)$ of a finite group $G$ is the set of orders of its elements. The following sufficient criterion of nonsolvability is proved: if among the prime divisors of the order of a group $G$, there are four different primes…

A graph $\Gamma$ is called $G$-symmetric if it admits $G$ as a group of automorphisms acting transitively on the set of ordered pairs of adjacent vertices. We give a classification of $G$-symmetric graphs $\Gamma$ with $V(\Gamma)$ admitting…

Let $ H $ be a subgroup of a finite group $ G $. We say that $ H $ satisfies the partial $ \Pi $-property in $ G $ if if there exists a chief series $ \varGamma_{G}: 1 =G_{0} < G_{1} < \cdot\cdot\cdot < G_{n}= G $ of $ G $ such that for…

A (left) Engel sink of an element g of a group G is a subset containing all sufficiently long commutators [...[[x,g],g],...,g], where x ranges over G. We prove that if p is a prime and G a finite group in which, for some positive integer m,…

The true prosoluble completion $P\Cal S (\Gamma)$ of a group $\Gamma$ is the inverse limit of the projective system of soluble quotients of $\Gamma$. Our purpose is to describe examples and to point out some natural open problems. We…

The following problem is considered: if $H$ is a semiregular abelian subgroup of a transitive permutation group $G$ acting on a finite set $X$, find conditions for (non) existence of $G$-invariant partitions of $X$. Conditions presented in…

We prove that a random group, in Gromov's density model with $d<1/16$, satisfies a universal sentence $\sigma$ (in the language of groups) if and only if $\sigma$ is true in a nonabelian free group.

It is well known that if $G$ is a group and $H$ is a normal subgroup of $G$ of finite index $k$, then $x^k \in H$ for every $x \in G$. We examine finite groups $G$ with the property that $x^k \in H$ for every subgroup $H$ of $G$, where $k$…

Let $X$ be a finite set such that $|X|=n$ and let $i\leq j \leq n$. A group $G\leq \sym$ is said to be $(i,j)$-homogeneous if for every $I,J\subseteq X$, such that $|I|=i$ and $|J|=j$, there exists $g\in G$ such that $Ig\subseteq J$.…

Given a finitely-generated group G, and a finite group \Gamma, Philip Hall defined \delta_\Gamma to be the number of factor groups of G that are isomorphic to \Gamma. We show how to compute the Hall invariants by cohomological and…

Let $G$ be a finite group, let $\pi$ be a set of primes and let $p$ be the smallest prime in $\pi$. In this work, we prove that $G$ possesses a normal and abelian Hall $\pi$-subgroup if and only if the probability that two random…
