Finite non-abelian non-metacyclic $2$-generated $p$-groups (${p>2}$) of nilpotency class $2$ with cyclic commutator subgroup which are the additive groups of local nearrings are described. It is shown that the subgroup of all non-invertible…

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.…

The Addition Theorem for the algebraic entropy of group endomorphisms of torsion abelian groups was proved by Dikranjan, Goldsmith, Salce and Zanardo. It was later extended by Shlossberg to torsion nilpotent groups of class 2. As our main…

We show that torsion-free finitely generated nilpotent groups are characterised by their group C*-algebras and we additionally recover their nilpotency class as well as the subquotients of the upper central series. We then use a C*-bundle…

We prove that the minimal representation dimension of a direct product $G$ of non-abelian groups $G_1,\ldots,G_n$ is bounded below by $n+1$ and thereby answer a question of Ab\'ert. If each $G_i$ is moreover non-solvable, then this lower…

We propose a systematic and topological study of limits $\lim_{\nu\to 0^+}G_\mathbb{R}\cdot(\nu x)$ of continuous families of adjoint orbits for non-compact simple Lie groups. This limit is always a finite union of nilpotent orbits. We…

This note records some observations concerning geodesic growth functions. If a nilpotent group is not virtually cyclic then it has exponential geodesic growth with respect to all finite generating sets. On the other hand, if a finitely…

We answer a question by Shestakov on the Jacobson radical in differential polynomial rings. We show that if R is a locally nilpotent ring with a derivation D then R[X;D] need not be Jacobson radical. We also show that J(R[X;D])\cap R is a…

The aim of this paper is to compare and contrast the class of residually finite groups with the class of equationally Noetherian groups - groups over which every system of coefficient-free equations is equivalent to a finite subsystem. It…

We develop the theory of ``branch algebras'', which are infinite-dimensional associative algebras that are isomorphic, up to taking subrings of finite codimension, to a matrix ring over themselves. The main examples come from groups acting…

We show that every non-trivial compact connected group and every non-trivial general or special linear group over an infinite field admits a generating set such that the associated Cayley graph has infinite diameter.

We give an explicit and essentially minimal list of defining relations of a Nichols algebra of diagonal type with finite root system. This list contains the well-known quantum Serre relations but also many new variations. A conjecture by…

We find necessary and sufficient conditions for the finite separability of finitely generated commutative rings. Namely, we prove that every such ring is a finite extension of its torsion ideal $I_k$ where $k$ is square-free, and $I_k$ is a…

It is shown that there exists a finitely generated infinite simple group of infinite commutator width, and that the commutator width of a finitely generated infinite boundedly simple group can be arbitrarily large. Besides, such groups can…

We provide polynomial lower bounds for residual finiteness of residually finite, finitely generated solvable groups that admit infinite order elements in the Fitting subgroup of strict distortion at least exponential. For this class of…

We offer in this note a self-contained proof of the fact that a finitely generated group is not virtually nilpotent if and only if it has a quotient with the infinite conjugacy class (ICC) propoerty. This proof is a modern presentation of…

A result of D. Segal states that every complex irreducible representation of a finitely generated nilpotent group $G$ is monomial if and only if $G$ is abelian-by-finite. A conjecture of A. N. Parshin, recently proved affirmatively by I.V.…

Let $\mathcal A$ be a separable, unital, approximately divisible C$^*$-algebra. We show that $\mathcal A$ is generated by two self-adjoint elements and the topological free entropy dimension of any finite generating set of $\mathcal A$ is…

We prove that if a group generated by a bireversible Mealy automaton contains an element of infinite order, its growth blows up and is necessarily exponential. As a direct consequence, no infinite virtually nilpotent group can be generated…

We prove that Knapsack problem (KP) is undecidable for any group of nilpotency class two if the number of generators (without torsion) of the derived subgroup is at least 322. This result together with the fact that if KP is undecidable for…
