In this paper we study categorical properties of the category of abelian hypergroups that leads to the notion of hyper (almost) preadditive and hyper (almost) abelian categories. Our goal is to create a path towards a general theory of…

We study algebraic and model-theoretic properties of existentially closed fields with an action of a fixed finite group. Such fields turn out to be pseudo-algebraically closed in a rather strong sense. We place this work in a more general…

We report on recent progress concerning the relationship that exists between the algebraic structure of a finite group and certain features of its class-size prime graph.

In this paper we provide an algorithm to classify groups of points on abelian threefolds over finite fields. The classification is given in terms of the Weil polynomial of abelian varieties in a given $\mathbb{F}_q$-isogeny class. This work…

Friedl and L\"oh (2021, Confl. Math.) prove that testing whether or not there is an epimorphism from a finitely presented group to a virtually cyclic group, or to the direct product of an abelian and a finite group, is decidable. Here we…

Recently, sub-indices and sub-factors of groups with connections to number theory, additive combinatorics, and factorization of groups have been introduced and studied. Since all group subsets are considered in the theory and there are many…

The main goal of this note is to provide a new proof of a classical result about projectivities between finite abelian groups. It is based on the concept of fundamental group lattice, studied in our previous papers \cite{8} and \cite{9}. A…

The purpose of this paper is to present the extended definitions and characterizations of the classical notions of APN and maximum nonlinear Boolean functions to deal with the case of mappings from a finite group K to another one N with the…

We prove a strong general-purpose bound for the diameter of a finite group depending only on the diameters of its composition factors and the maximal exponent of a normal abelian section. There are a number of notable applications: (1) if…

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 graded-division algebra is an algebra graded by a group such that all nonzero homogeneous elements are invertible. This includes division algebras equipped with an arbitrary group grading (including the trivial grading). We show that a…

The role of finite centralizers of involutions in pseudo-finite groups is analyzed. It is shown that a pseudo-finite group admitting a definable involutory automorphism fixing only finitely many elements is finite-by-abelian-by-finite. As a…

We study a particular chip-firing process on an infinite path graph. At any time when there are at least $a+b$ chips at a vertex, $a$ chips fire to the left and $b$ chips fire to the right. We describe the final state of this process when…

We discuss the possibility of lifting finite subgroups, and in particular finite cyclic subgroups, with respect to the canonical projections between automorphism and outer automorphism groups of free groups, surface groups and their…

Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a class of finite groups closed for subgroups, quotients groups and extensions. Let $\Gamma$ be a finite simplicial graph and $G = G_{\Gamma}$ be the corresponding pro-$\mathcal C$ RAAG. We show that if $N$ is a…

We define the class of groups of bounded type from tile inflations. These tile inflations also determine some automata describing the groups. In the case when the automata are stationary, we show that if the set of incompressible elements…
