Let $G$ be a group. We denote by $\nu(G)$ a certain extension of the non-abelian tensor square $[G,G^{\varphi}]$ by $G \times G$. We prove that if $G$ is a finite potent $p$-group, then $[G,G^{\varphi}]$ and the $k$-th term of the lower…

We consider the group $\mathfrak{X}(G)$ obtained from $G\ast G$ by forcing each element $g$ in the first free factor to commute with the copy of $g$ in the second free factor. Deceptively complicated finitely presented groups arise from…

The weak commutativity group $\chi(G)$ is generated by two isomorphic groups $G$ and $G^{\varphi }$ subject to the relations $[g,g^{\varphi}]=1$ for all $g \in G$. The group $\chi(G)$ is an extension of $D(G) = [G,G^{\varphi}]$ by $G \times…

The weak commutativity group $\chi(G)$ is generated by two isomorphic groups $G$ and $G^{\varphi }$ subject to the relations $[g,g^{\varphi}]=1$ for all $g \in G$. We obtain new expressions for the terms of the derived series and the lower…

We study the analogue of Sidki's weak commutativity construction, defined originally for groups, in the category of Lie algebras. This is the quotient $\chi(\mathfrak{g})$ of the Lie algebra freely generated by two isomorphic copies…

A pro-$p$ group $G$ is called strongly Frattini-resistant if the function $H \mapsto \Phi(H)$, from the poset of all closed subgroups of $G$ into itself, is a poset embedding. Frattini-resistant pro-$p$ groups appear naturally in Galois…

With every locally compact group $G$, one can associate several interesting bi-invariant subspaces $X(G)$ of the weakly almost periodic functions $\mathrm{WAP}(G)$ on $G$, each of which captures parts of the representation theory of $G$.…

If G is a finitely generated powerful pro-p group satisfying a certain law v=1, and if G can be generated by a normal subset T of finite width which satisfies a positive law, we prove that G is nilpotent. Furthermore, the nilpotency class…

The operator, $\chi $, of weak commutativity between isomorphic groups $G$ and $G^{\varphi }$ was introduced by Sidki as \begin{equation*} \chi (G)=\left\langle G \cup G^{\varphi }\mid \lbrack g,g^{\varphi }]=1\,\forall \,g\in…

We consider $p$-weak differentiable structures that were recently introduced by the first and last named authors, and prove that the product of $p$-weak charts is a $p$-weak chart. This implies that the product of two spaces with a $p$-weak…

A pro-p Cappitt group is a pro-p group G such that the subgroup topologically generated by all non-normal closed subgroups is a proper subgroup of G. In this paper we prove that non-abelian pro-p Cappitt groups whose torsion subgroup is…

We prove the pro-$p$ version of the Karras, Pietrowski, Solitar, Cohen and Scott result stating that a virtually free group acts on a tree with finite vertex stabilizers. If a virtually free pro-$p$ group $G$ has finite centralizes of all…

We study the property of being strongly weakly compactly generated (and some relatives) in projective tensor products of Banach spaces. Our main result is as follows. Let $1<p,q<\infty$ be such that $1/p+1/q\geq 1$. Let $X$ (resp., $Y$) be…

Pro-$p$ groups of finite powerful class are studied. We prove that these are $p$-adic analytic, and further describe their structure when their powerful class is small. It is also shown that there are only finitely many finite $p$-groups of…

The structure of finite and locally finite groups in which every element has prime power order (CP-groups) is well known. In this paper we note that the combination of our earlier results with the available information on the structure of…

We prove a pro-$p$ version of Sela's theorem stating that a finitely generated group is $k$-acylindrically accessible. This result is then used to prove that $\mathrm{PD}^n$ pro-$p$ groups admit a unique $k$-acylindrical JSJ-decomposition.

We define the notion of accessibility for a pro-$p$ group. We prove that finitely generated pro-$p$ groups are accessible given a bound on the size of their finite subgroups. We then construct a finitely generated inaccessible pro-$p$…

Let G be a finitely generated infinite pro-p group acting on a pro-p tree such that the restriction of the action to some open subgroup is free. Then we prove that G splits as a pro-p amalgamated product or as a pro-p HNN-extension over an…

One of the aims of this paper is to obtain structural results showing that powerful subgroups are abundant in pro-$p$ groups admitting certain powerful quotients. In particular, we obtain an analogue of Baer's theorem for powerful pro-$p$…

Let p be a prime. We classify finitely generated pro-p groups G which satisfy d(H) = d(G) for all open subgroups H of G. Here d(H) denotes the minimal number of topological generators for the subgroup H. Within the category of p-adic…
