In response to a question raised by Belolipetsky and the first author, we prove that for every finite group $G$ there are infinitely many isomorphism classes of compact complex hyperbolic $2$-manifolds with automorphism group isomorphic to…

The first part of the paper is a brief overview of Hindman's finite sums theorem, its prehistory and a few of its further generalizations, and a modern technique used in proving these and similar results, which is based on idempotent…

For a finite group $G$ and a positive integer $n$, let $G(n)$ be the set of all elements in $G$ such that $x^{n}=1$. The groups $G$ and $H$ are said to be of the same (order) type if $G(n)=H(n)$, for all $n$. The main aim of this paper is…

Let ${\cal K}_1(G)$ denote the inverse subsemigroup of ${\cal K}(G)$ consisting of all right cosets of all non-trivial subgroups of $G$. This paper concentrates on the study of the group $\Sigma({\cal K}_1(G))$ of all units of the…

Testing isomorphism of infinite groups is a classical topic, but from the complexity theory viewpoint, few results are known. S{\'e}nizergues and the fifth author (ICALP2018) proved that the isomorphism problem for virtually free groups is…

In 1960, L\'{a}szl\'{o} Fuchs posed the problem of determining which groups $G$ are realizable as the group of units in some ring $R$. In \cite{chebolu2022fuchs}, we investigated the following variant of Fuchs' problem, for abelian groups:…

We compute the rank of the group of central units in the integral group ring $\Z G$ of a finite strongly monomial group $G$. The formula obtained is in terms of the strong Shoda pairs of $G$. Next we construct a virtual basis of the group…

The structure of groups for which certain sets of commutator subgroups are finite is investigated, with a particular focus on the relationship between these groups and those with finite derived subgroup.

The main purpose of this article is to initiate a systematic study of Semihypergroups, first introduced by C. Dunkl [4], I. Jewett [13] and R. Spector [20] independently around 1972. We introduce and study several natural algebraic and…

The depth of a subgroup $H$ of a finite group $G$ is a positive integer defined with respect to the inclusion of the corresponding complex group algebras $\mathbb{C}H \subseteq \mathbb{C}G$. This notion was originally introduced by Boltje,…

We investigate the finite subgroups that occur in the Hamiltonian quaternion algebra over the real subfield of cyclotomic fields. When possible, we investigate their distribution among the maximal orders.

We prove that the automorphism group of an affine, cubic surface with equation $xyz=g(x,y)$ contains ${\mathbb Z}$ as a finite index subgroup. These equations were first studied by Mordell. v.2: small changes, references updated.

Richard J. Thompson invented his group F in the 60s; it is a group full of surprises: it has a finite presentation with 2 generators and 2 relators, and a derived group that is simple; it admits a peculiar infinite presentation and has a…

We introduce the notion of semigroup with a tight ideal series and investigate their closures in semitopological semigroups, particularly inverse semigroups with continuous inversion. As a corollary we show that the symmetric inverse…

The strong symmetric genus of a finite group is the minimum genus of a compact Riemann surface on which the group acts as a group of automorphisms preserving orientation. A characterization of the infinite number of groups with strong…

In 1971, J. Lipman introduced the notion of strict closure of a ring in another, and established the underlying theory in connection with a conjecture of O. Zariski. In this paper, for further developments of the theory, we investigate…

In 1904, Issai Schur proved the following result. If $G$ is an arbitrary group such that $G/\Z(G)$ is finite, where $\Z(G)$ denotes the center of the group $G$, then the commutator subgroup of $G$ is finite. A partial converse of this…

This is an introduction to the finite groups, with focus on the groups of permutations and reflections, and more generally, on the finite groups of unitary matrices. We first discuss the basics of group theory, featuring the cyclic,…

In his $1994$ survey, Kleinert defined formally and formulated the problem to obtain unit theorems for unit groups of orders in a semisimple algebra $A$. If $A$ is a group algebra $FG$, it boils down to classifying all finite groups $G$…

An $integral$ of a group $G$ is a group $H$ whose derived group (commutator subgroup) is isomorphic to $G$. This paper discusses integrals of groups, and in particular questions about which groups have integrals and how big or small those…
