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…

The power graph of a group is the simple graph whose vertices are the group elements and two vertices are adjacent whenever one of them is a positive power of the other. We characterize the finite nilpotent groups whose power graphs have…

We compute the characteristic varieties and the Alexander polynomial of a finitely generated nilpotent group. We show that the first characteristic variety may be used to detect nilpotence. We use the Alexander polynomial to deduce that the…

A semigroup is \emph{nilpotent} of degree 3 if it has a zero, every product of 3 elements equals the zero, and some product of 2 elements is non-zero. It is part of the folklore of semigroup theory that almost all finite semigroups are…

Our aim in this paper is to initiate the study of exponent semigroups for rational matrices. We prove that every numerical semigroup is the exponent semigroup of some rational matrix. We also obtain lower bounds on the size of such matrices…

For every finite $p$-group $G_p$ that is non-cyclic and non-quaternion and every positive integer $\ell\neq p$ that is greater than $2$, we prove the first non-trivial bound on $\ell$-torsion in class group of every $G_p$-extension. More…

We give an infinite family of non-abelian strongly real Beauville $p$-groups for any odd prime $p$ by considering the lower central quotients of the free product of two cyclic groups of order $p$. This is the first known infinite family of…

We study nilpotent groups acting faithfully on complex algebraic varieties. We use a method of base change. For finite p-groups, we go from $k$, a number field, to a finite field in order to use counting lemmas. We show that a finite…

We study random nilpotent groups in the well-established style of random groups, by choosing relators uniformly among freely reduced words of (nearly) equal length and letting the length tend to infinity. Whereas random groups are quotients…

We explore the interplay between omega-categoricity and pseudofiniteness for groups, conjecturing that omega-categorical pseudofinite groups are finite-by-abelian-by-finite. We show that the conjecture reduces to nilpotent p-groups of class…

In this paper we study the finite groups in which every element has prime power order, briefly them EPPO-groups. The classification of EPPO-groups is given including the cases of solvable, non-solvable and simple EPPO-groups. This paper is…

For any odd prime $p$, we give an example of a locally finite $p$-group $G$ containing a left 3-Engel element $x$ where $\langle x \rangle^G$ is not nilpotent.

In studying nilpotent groups, the lower central series and other variations can be used to construct an associated $\mathbb{Z}^+$-graded Lie ring, which is a powerful method to inspect a group. Indeed, the process can be generalized…

Let $p$ be a prime. A $p$-group $G$ is defined to be semi-extraspecial if for every maximal subgroup $N$ in $Z(G)$ the quotient $G/N$ is a an extraspecial group. In addition, we say that $G$ is ultraspecial if $G$ is semi-extraspecial and…

This paper deals with the classification of groups $G$ such that power graphs and proper power graphs of $G$ are line graphs. In fact, we classify all finite nilpotent groups whose power graphs are line graphs. Also, we categorize all…

In Part I it was shown that if G is a p-group of class k, generated by elements of orders 1<p^{alpha_1} <= ... <= p^{alpha_r}, then a necessary condition for the capability of G is that r>1 and alpha_r <= alpha_{r-1} + [(k-1)/(p-1)]. It was…

We develop an abstract framework for studying the strong form of Malle's conjecture for nilpotent groups $G$ in their regular representation. This framework is then used to prove the strong form of Malle's conjecture for any nilpotent group…

We prove super-quadratic lower bounds for the growth of the filling area function of a certain class of Carnot groups. This class contains groups for which it is known that their Dehn function grows no faster than $n^2\log n$. We therefore…

We classify all finite groups that have lifting property of mod $p$ representations to mod $p^2$ representations for all prime $p$.

This paper gives a complete classification of the finite groups that contain a strongly closed p-subgroup for p any prime.
