A matching $M$ in a graph $G$ is acyclic if the subgraph of $G$ induced by the set of vertices that are incident to an edge in $M$ is a forest. We prove that every graph with $n$ vertices, maximum degree at most $\Delta$, and no isolated…

The nonabelian tensor square $G\otimes G$ of a polycyclic group $G$ is a polycyclic group and its structure arouses interest in many contexts. The same assertion is still true for wider classes of solvable groups. This motivated us to work…

In this article we show that if ${\cal V}$ is the variety of polynilpotent groups of class row $(c_1,c_2,...,c_s),\ {\mathcal N}_{c_1,c_2,...,c_s}$, and $G\cong{\bf {Z}}_{p^{\alpha_1}}\stackrel{n}{*}{\bf…

We show that, there exists a constant $a$ such that, for every subgroup $H$ of a finite group $G$, the number of maximal subgroups of $G$ containing $H$ is bounded above by $a|G:H|^{3/2}$. In particular, a transitive permutation group of…

We show that the rank r component of the free idempotent generated semigroup of the biordered set of the full linear monoid of n x n matrices over a division ring Q has maximal subgroup isomorphic to the general linear group GL_r(Q), where…

Given a size-$k$ subset $S$ of a group $G$, how large can the product set $S^n$ be? We study this question, at several layers of refinement, for the infinite dihedral group. First, we give an explicit formula for the maximum size of $S^n$…

Let KG be a group algebra of a finite p-group G over a finite field K of characteristic p. We compute the order of the unitary subgroup of the group of units when G is either an extraspecial 2-group or the central product of such a group…

A multi-edge spinal group is a subgroup of the automorphism group of a regular p-adic rooted tree, generated by one rooted automorphism and a finite number of directed automorphisms sharing a common directing path. We prove that torsion…

We use actions on trees to determine uniform exponential growth for subgroups of $GL_2$.

Let $G$ be a multiple HNN-extension of an infinite cyclic group. We will calculate the intersection $(N_{p}){_\omega}(G)$ of the normal subgroups of finite $p$-index in $G$ thus generalizing the result of Moldavanskii for Baumslag-Solitar…

Let G be a finitely generated linear group over a field of characteristic 0. Suppose that every solvable subgroup of G is polycyclic. Then the claim is made that any solvable subgroup of G is separable. This is proven for G=SL_n(Z).…

Let $G$ be a finite non-cyclic $p$-group of order at least $p^3$. If $G$ has an abelian maximal subgroup, or if $G$ has an elementary abelian centre with $C_G(Z(\Phi(G))) \ne \Phi(G)$, then $|G|$ divides $|\text{Aut}(G)|$.

Let G be a finitely generated group, let $\pi \colon G \to {\rm GL}(E)$ be a uniformly bounded $c_0$-representation on a superreflexive Banach space $E$, and let $b \colon G \to E$ be a $1$-cocycle for $\pi$. Then $b$ has sublinear growth…

We consider the Galois group $G_2(K)$ of the maximal unramified $2$-extension of $K$ where $K/\mathbb{Q}$ is cyclic of degree $3$. We also consider the group $G^+_2(K)$ where ramification is allowed at infinity. In the spirit of the…

Let $k$ be a complete non-archimedean field (non trivially valued). Given a reductive $k$-group $G$, we prove that hyperspecial subgroups of $G(k)$ (i.e. those arising from reductive models of $G$) are maximal among bounded subgroups. The…

T\u{a}rn\u{a}uceanu described the finite groups $G$ having exactly $|G|-1$ cyclic subgroups. In "Finite Groups with a Prescribed Number of Cyclic Subgroups,", we used elementary methods to completely characterize those finite groups $G$…

We find an upper bound for the number of groups of order $n$ up to isomorphism in the variety $G = A_pA_qA_r$, where $p$, $q$ and $r$ are distinct primes. We also find a bound on the orders and on the number of conjugacy classes of…

This article is devoted to present an explicit formula for the $c$th nilpotent multiplier of nilpotent products of some cyclic groups $G={\bf {Z}}\stackrel{n_1}{*}{\bf {Z}}\stackrel{n_2}{*}...\stackrel{n_{t-1}}{*}{\bf…

In this paper, we show that any subgroup of a semidirect product of Z^n with Z has bounded packing as long as the action of Z on Z^n is by diagonalizable automorphisms all of whose eigenvalues are real. We use this result to show that any…

A proper subgroup $H$ in a finite group $G$ is said to be large if $|H|^3\geq |G|$. In this paper, we determined all large maximal subgroups of almost simple classical groups. Combined with the work of Alavi and Burness (J. Algebra 421…
