Let $G$ be a nonabelian group. We say that $G$ has an abelian partition, if there exists a partition of $G$ into commuting subsets $A_1, A_2, \ldots, A_n$ of $G$, such that $|A_i|\geqslant 2$ for each $i=1, 2, \ldots, n$. This paper…

For any prime number p and any positive real number {\alpha}, we construct a finitely generated group {\Gamma} with p-gradient equal to {\alpha}. This construction is used to show that there exist uncountably many pairwise non-commensurable…

It is proved that any infinite Abelian topological group of prime exponent has an infinite maximally almost periodic subgroup.

Random walk on the set of irreducible representations of a finite group is investigated. For the symmetric and general linear groups, a sharp convergence rate bound is obtained and a cutoff phenomenon is proved. As related results, an…

Fix $\varepsilon > 0$. We say that a finite group $G$ is $\varepsilon$-quasirandom if every nontrivial irreducible complex representation of $G$ has degree at least $|G|^\varepsilon$. In this paper, we give a structure theorem for large…

We show that aperiodic random walks with finite second moment on virtually abelian groups are noise sensitive in total variation if and only if the group admits no nonzero homomorphism onto the infinite cyclic group.

In a paper by the first author it was shown that for certain arithmetical results on conjugacy class sizes it is enough to only consider the vanishing conjugacy class sizes. In this paper we further weaken the conditions to consider only…

We prove in particular that the Gorenstein numerical semigroup ring generated by (36,48,50,52,56,60,66,67,107,121,129,135) has a transcendental series of Betti numbers. The methods of proofs are the theory of Golod homomorphism and the…

For every finite abelian group $G$, there are positive integers $n$ and $d$ such that $G$ is isomorphic to the multiplicative group of $d$-th powers of reduced residues modulo $n$.

This paper investigates the asymptotic behaviour of the minimal number of generators of finite index subgroups in residually finite groups. We analyze three natural classes of groups: amenable groups, groups possessing an infinite soluble…

We show that infinitely many alternating groups arise as quotients of the free group of rank 2, with kernel a characteristic subgroup. We also show that such simple quotients exist of arbitrarily large Lie rank. This resolves two questions…

The present note surveys my research related to generalizing notions of abelian group theory to non-commutative case and applying them particularly to investigate fundamental groups.

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…

We exhibit abelian topological groups admitting no nontrivial strongly continuous irreducible representations in Banach spaces. Among them are some abelian Banach-Lie groups and some monothetic subgroups of the unitary group of a separable…

For a given finitely generated multiplicative subgroup of the rationals which possibly contain negative numbers, we derive, subject to GRH, formulas for the densities of primes for which the index of the reduction group has a given value.…

We describe how previously known methods for determining the number of decimation classes of density $\delta$ binary vectors can be extended to nonnegative integer vectors, where the vectors are indexed by a finite abelian group $G$ of size…

This work concerns finite free complexes over commutative noetherian rings, in particular over group algebras of elementary abelian groups. The main contribution is the construction of complexes such that the total rank of their underlying…

Elder, Kambites, and Ostheimer showed that if the word problem of a finitely generated group $H$ is accepted by a $G$-automaton for an abelian group $G$, then $H$ is virtually abelian. We give a new, elementary, and purely combinatorial…

We look at a class of transcendental real numbers xi which, together with their square, satisfy some extremal property of simultaneous approximation by rational numbers with the same denominator. We give a sufficient condition for such a…

In this paper, we shall provide explicit formulas for the extremal Betti numbers of $R/I$, where $I$ is the defining ideal of certain weighted hyperplanes in $\Bbb{P}^{n-1}$ and $R$ is the polynomial ring in $n$ indeterminates over a field.…
