We discuss some new results concerning Gap Conjecture on group growth and present a reduction of it (and its *-version) to several special classes of groups. Namely we show that its validity for the classes of simple groups and residually…

We introduce the notions of definable amenability and extreme definable amenability for groups in continuous structures and conduct an extensive analysis of them, drawing parallels with the classical first-order case. We characterize both…

We call a finite group irrational if none of its elements is conjugate to a distinct power of itself. We prove that those groups are solvable and describe certain classes of these groups, where the above property is only required for…

Let $G$ be a finite group and assume $p$ is a prime dividing the order of $G$. Suppose for any such $p$, that every two abelian $p$-subgroups of $G$ of equal order are conjugate. The structure of such a group $G$ has been settled in this…

We introduce the subgroup identification problem, and show that there is a finitely presented group G for which it is unsolvable, and that it is uniformly solvable in the class of finitely presented locally Hopfian groups. This is done as…

In this article we survey and examine the realizability of $p$-groups as Galois groups over arbitrary fields. In particular we consider various cohomological criteria that lead to necessary and sufficient conditions for the realizability of…

We prove that there exist finitely presented, residually finite groups that are profinitely rigid in the class of all finitely presented groups but not in the class of all finitely generated groups. These groups are of the form $\Gamma…

For any finite type connected surface $S$, we give an infinite presentation of the fundamental group $\pi_1(S,\ast)$ of $S$ based at an interior point $\ast\in{S}$ whose generators are represented by simple loops. When $S$ is…

We determine an upper bound for the size of a stem $p$-group in terms of its breadth and its maximum character degree.

In this paper we survey a new criteria for solvability of finite groups in terms of number of supersolvable (also known as polycyclic) and non-supersolvable subgroups. In particular, we present original examples of supersolvable groups such…

In this article we develop the theory of residually finite rationally $p$ (RFR$p$) groups, where $p$ is a prime. We first prove a series of results about the structure of finitely generated RFR$p$ groups (either for a single prime $p$, or…

We give an example of a finitely presented simple group containing a finitely generated subgroup which is not finitely presented.

We show that finite quasisimple groups of Lie type in characteristic $p$ with an irreducible representation of prime degree $r$ over a finite field of characteristic $p$ have orders bounded above by a function of $r$, independent of $p$. We…

We define the notion of computability of F{\o}lner sets for finitely generated amenable groups. We prove, by an explicit description, that the Kharlampovich group, a finitely presented solvable group with unsolvable word problem, has…

Let G be an infinite discrete group of type FP-infinity and let p>1 be a real number. We prove that the l^p-homology and cohomology groups of G are either 0 or infinite dimensional. We also show that the cardinality of the p-harmonic…

We discuss the structure of finite groups for which the projective indecomposable modules have special given dimensions. In particular, we prove the converse of Fong's dimension formula for $p$-solvable groups. Furthermore, we characterize…

Necessary and sufficient conditions for finite semihypergroups to be built from groups of the same order are established

We prove that every finitely generated soluble group which is not virtually abelian has a subgroup of one of a small number of types.

It is proven that an infinite finitely generated group cannot be elementarily equivalent to an ultraproduct of finite groups of a given Pr\"ufer rank. Furthermore, it is shown that an infinite finitely generated group of finite Pr\"ufer…

We classify irreducible unitary representations of the group of all infinite matrices over a $p$-adic field ($p\ne 2$) with integer elements equipped with a natural topology. Any irreducible representation passes through a group $GL$ of…
