We study groups having the property that every non-abelian subgroup contains its centralizer. We describe various classes of infinite groups in this class, and address a problem of Berkovich regarding the classification of finite $p$-groups…

Finitely generated (non-abelian) free metabelian pro-p groups, and wreath products of f.g. free abelian pro-p groups, are all finitely axiomatizable in the class of all profinite groups.

Let $G$ be a finite group and $\pi$ be a set of primes. We study finite groups with a large number of conjugacy classes of $\pi$-elements. In particular, we obtain precise lower bounds for this number in terms of the $\pi$-part of the order…

We introduce a special class of powerful $p$-groups that we call powerfully nilpotent groups that are finite $p$-groups that possess a central series of a special kind. To these we can attach the notion of a powerful nilpotence class that…

It is proved that for any prime $p$ a finitely generated nilpotent group is conjugacy separable in the class of finite $p$-groups if and only if the torsion subgroup of it is a finite $p$-group and the quotient group by the torsion subgroup…

An equation to compute the dp-rank of any abelian group is given. It is also shown that its dp-rank, or more generally that of any one-based group, agrees with its Vapnik-Chervonenkis density. Furthermore, strong abelian groups are…

For any finite totally ordered set, the multisets of intervals form an abelian category. Various classes of subcategories admit natural combinatorial descriptions, and counting them yields familiar integer sequences. Surprisingly, in some…

In this paper we determine all finitely generated abelian groups which are varietal capable with respect to the variety of polynilpotent groups. This result is a vast generalization of the famous Baer's result about capability of finitely…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $N(G)$ be the set of conjugacy class sizes of $G$. For a prime $p$, let $|G||_p$ be the highest $p$-power dividing some element of $N(G)$. and define $|G|| = {\Pi}_{p\in {\pi}(G)}|G||_p$. $G$ is said to be an…

In this paper we study the capacity/entropy region of finite, directed, acyclic, multiple-sources, multiple-sinks network by means of group theory and entropy vectors coming from groups. There is a one-to-one correspondence between the…

We show that up to potential isogeny, there are only finitely many abelian varieties of dimension $d$ defined over a number field $K$, such that for any finite place $v$ outside a fixed finite set $S$ of places of $K$ containing the…

It is known that any locally graded group with finitely many derived subgroups of non-normal subgroups is finite-by-abelian. This result is generalized here, by proving that in a locally graded group $G$ the subgroup $\gamma_{k}(G)$ is…

A group is metabelian if its commutator subgroup is abelian. For finitely generated metabelian groups, classical commutative algebra, algebraic geometry and geometric group theory, especially the latter two subjects, can be brought to bear…

It is proved that, for a prime $p>2$ and integer $n\geq 1$, finite $p$-groups of nilpotency class $3$ and having only two conjugacy class sizes $1$ and $p^n$ exist if and only if $n$ is even; moreover, for a given even positive integer,…

We show that if a group is not virtually cyclic and is hyperbolic relative to a family of proper subgroups, then it has a hyperbolically embedded subgroup which contains a finitely generated non-abelian free group as a finite index…

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $p$ be a prime. In this paper, we study the structure of finite groups with a large number of $p$-regular conjugacy classes or, equivalently, a large number of irreducible $p$-modular representations. We…

This paper deals with the number of subgroups of a given exponent in a finite abelian group. Explicit formulas are obtained in the case of rank two and rank three abelian groups. An asymptotic formula is also presented.

We introduce the pseudovariety of finite groups $\mathbf{U} = \displaystyle\bigvee_{p \in \mathbb{P}} {\bf Ab}(p) \ast {\bf Ab}(p-1)$, where $\mathbb{P}$ is the set of all primes. We show that $\mathbf{U}$ consists of all finite…

Let $k$ be a perfect field such that for every $n$ there are only finitely many field extensions, up to isomorphism, of $k$ of degree $n$. If $G$ is a reductive algebraic group defined over $k$, whose characteristic is very good for $G$,…

We finish the classification, begun in two earlier papers, of all simple fusion systems over finite nonabelian $p$-groups with an abelian subgroup of index $p$. In particular, this gives many new examples illustrating the enormous variety…
