The topological fundamental group $\pi_{1}^{top}$ is a homotopy invariant finer than the usual fundamental group. It assigns to each space a quasitopological group and is discrete on spaces which admit universal covers. For an arbitrary…

Let $Y(n, p)$ denote the probability space of random 2-dimensional simplicial complexes in the Linial--Meshulam model, and let $Y \sim Y(n, p)$ denote a random complex chosen according to this distribution. In a paper of Cohen, Costa,…

Let $\Pi$ be the \'etale fundamental group of a smooth affine curve over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. We establish a criterion for profinite freeness of closed subgroups of $\Pi$. Roughly speaking, if a closed…

We construct, for the first time, various types of specific non-special finite $p$-groups having abelian automorphism group. More specifically, we construct groups $G$ with abelian automorphism group such that $\gamma_2(G) < \mathrm{Z}(G) <…

Many common finite p-groups admit automorphisms of order coprime to p, and when p is odd, it is reasonably difficult to find finite p-groups whose automorphism group is a p-group. Yet the goal of this paper is to prove that the automorphism…

In [J. Algebra 452 (2016), 372-389], we characterise when the sequence of free subgroup numbers of a finitely generated virtually free group $\Gamma$ is ultimately periodic modulo a given prime power. Here, we show that, in the remaining…

Let $\pi_1(C)$ be the fundamental group of a smooth irreducible affine curve $C$ over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic. It is shown that given an embedding problem for $\pi_1(C)$ there exist an open index $p$ normal…

We consider the structure of finite $p$-groups $G$ having precisely three characteristic subgroups, namely $1$, $\Phi(G)$ and $G$. The structure of $G$ varies markedly depending on whether $G$ has exponent $p$ or $p^2$, and, in both cases,…

Recall that a $p$-group of order $p^ {n} >p^ {3} $ is of maximal class, if its nilpotency class is $n-1$. In this paper, we study the $p$-groups of maximal class. Furthermore, we introduce a subgroup of a $p$-group of maximal class called…

We study dp-minimal infinite profinite groups that are equipped with a uniformly definable fundamental system of open subgroups. We show that these groups have an open subgroup $A$ such that either $A$ is a direct product of countably many…

A $p$-subgroup $H$ of a finite group $G$ is said to satisfy partial $S$-$\Pi$-property in $G$ if $G$ has a chief series $\Gamma_{G}: 1=G_{0}<G_{1}<\cdots<G_{n}=G$ such that for every $G$-chief factor $G_{i}/G_{i-1}$ $(1\leqslant i\leqslant…

Let $p$ be a prime number, let $H$ be a finite $p$-group, and let $\mathbb{F}$ be a field of characteristic 0, considered as a trivial $\mathbb{F} \mathrm{Out}(H)$-module. The main result of this paper gives the dimension of the evaluation…

In this paper, we completely classify the finite $p$-groups $G$ such that $\Phi(G')G_3\le C_p^2$, $\Phi(G')G_3\le Z(G)$ and $G/\Phi(G')G_3$ is minimal non-abelian. This paper is a part of the classification of finite $p$-groups with a…

Let $G$ be a free product of two groups with amalgamated subgroup, $\pi$ be either the set of all prime numbers or the one-element set \{$p$\} for some prime number $p$. Denote by $\Sigma$ the family of all cyclic subgroups of group $G$,…

A finite abelian $p$-group having an automorphism $x$ such that $1+\ldots+x^{p-1}=0$, can be viewed as a module over an appropriate discrete valuation ring $\mathcal{O}$ containing $\mathbb{Z}_p$ (the ring of $p$-adic integer). This yields…

We study the commensurators of free groups and free pro-$p$ groups, as well as certain subgroups of these. We prove that the commensurator $Comm(F)$ of a non-abelian free group of finite rank $F$ is not virtually simple, answering a…

We prove that every free metabelian non--cyclic group has a finitely generated isolated subgroup which is not separable in the class of nilpotent groups. As a corollary we prove that for every prime number $p$ an arbitrary free metabelian…

Let G be a simple algebraic group defined over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p>0. Here we classify all irreducible kG-modules for which the principal A1 has no repeated composition factors, extending the work of…

We generalize two of our previous results on abelian definable groups in $p$-adically closed fields to the non-abelian case. First, we show that if $G$ is a definable group that is not definably compact, then $G$ has a one-dimensional…

The topological fundamental group $\pi_{1}^{top}$ is a topological invariant that assigns to each space a quasi-topological group and is discrete on spaces which are well behaved locally. For a totally path-disconnected, Hausdorff, unbased…
