Let $G$ be a finite group and $N_{\Omega}(G)$ be the intersection of the normalizers of all subgroups belonging to the set $\Omega(G),$ where $\Omega(G)$ is a set of all subgroups of $G$ which have some theoretical group property. In this…

For a wide family of formations $\mathfrak{F}$ (which includes Baer-local formations) it is proved that the $ \mathfrak{F}$-hypercenter of a permutation finite group can be computed in polynomial time. In particular, the algorithms for…

We say that a subset $X$ quasi-isometrically boundedly generates a finitely generated group $\Gamma$ if each element $\gamma$ of a finite-index subgroup of $\Gamma$ can be written as a product $\gamma = x_1 x_2 \cdots x_r$ of a bounded…

Let $G$ be a transitive permutation group on a finite set with solvable point stabiliser and assume that the solvable radical of $G$ is trivial. In 2010, Vdovin conjectured that the base size of $G$ is at most 5. Burness proved this…

We refer to $d(G)$ as the minimal cardinality of a generating set of a finite group $G$, and say that $G$ is $d$-generated if $d(G)\leq d$. A transitive permutation group $G$ is called $\frac{3}{2}$-transitive if a point stabilizer…

We prove that if $G$ is a transitive permutation group of sufficiently large degree $n$, then either $G$ is primitive and Frobenius, or the proportion of derangements in $G$ is larger than $1/(2n^{1/2})$. This is sharp, generalizes…

We determine subnormalisers of semisimple elements of prime power order in finite quasi-simple groups of Lie type. For this, we determine the maximal overgroups of normalisers of Sylow tori. This is motivated by the recent character…

Let $G$ be a finite primitive permutation group on a set $\Omega$ with point stabiliser $H$. Recall that a subset of $\Omega$ is a base for $G$ if its pointwise stabiliser is trivial. We define the base size of $G$, denoted $b(G,H)$, to be…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $p$ be a prime. We study the kernel of the map, between the Burnside ring of $G$ and the Grothendieck ring of $\mathbb{F}_p[G]$-modules, taking a $G$-set to its associated permutation module. We are able, for…

We provide a general sufficient condition for extendability of quasimorphisms on subgroups. This condition recovers the result of Hull--Osin on quasimorphisms on hyperbolically embedded subgroups, and the proof given in this paper is much…

Let $G$ be a finite almost simple group. It is well known that $G$ can be generated by 3 elements, and in previous work we showed that 6 generators suffice for all maximal subgroups of $G$. In this paper we consider subgroups at the next…

Let $G \leqslant {\rm Sym}(\Omega)$ be a finite almost simple primitive permutation group, with socle $G_0$ and point stabilizer $H$. A subset of $\Omega$ is a base for $G$ if its pointwise stabilizer is trivial; the base size of $G$,…

Let $G$ be a finite abelian group $G$ with $N$ elements. In this paper we give a O(N) time algorithm for computing a basis of $G$. Furthermore, we obtain an algorithm for computing a basis from a generating system of $G$ with $M$ elements…

Let G be a finite solvable permutation group. Then modulo a possibly trivial normal elementary abelian 3-subgroup, some set-stabilizer in G is a 2-group.

We study definably primitive pseudo-finite permutation groups of finite $SU$-rank. We show that if $(G,X)$ is such a permutation group, then the rank of $G$ can be bounded in terms of the rank of $X$, providing an analogue of a theorem of…

Let $G$ be a reductive algebraic group---possibly non-connected---over a field $k$ and let $H$ be a subgroup of $G$. If $G= GL_n$ then there is a degeneration process for obtaining from $H$ a completely reducible subgroup $H'$ of $G$; one…

Let S be a finite graph and G be the corresponding free partially commutative group. In this paper we study subgroups generated by vertices of the graph S, which we call canonical parabolic subgroups. A natural extension of the definition…

In this paper, we study intersecting sets in primitive and quasiprimitive permutation groups. Let $G \leqslant \mathrm{Sym}(\Omega)$ be a transitive permutation group, and ${S}$ an intersecting set. Previous results show that if $G$ is…

Let G be a connected, simply connected, simple complex algebraic group and let e be a primitive l-th root of 1, with l odd and 3 does not divide l if G is of type G_{2}. We determine all Hopf algebra quotients of the quantized coordinate…

This paper studies the number of monic integer polynomials $f$ of height at most $H$ whose Galois group, endowed with the action on the roots, is isomorphic to a prescribed permutation group $(G,\Omega)$. New upper bounds are obtained for…
