We prove that if the group of fixed points of a generic automorphism of a simple group of finite Morley rank is pseudofinite, then this group is an extension of a (twisted) Chevalley group over a pseudofinite field. On the way to obtain…

In a finite group, a subset is called a Lagrange subset if its size divides the group order, and a factor if it admits a complementary subset. We provide a new and comparatively direct proof of the classification of groups in which every…

The object of study in this paper is the finite groups whose integral group rings have only trivial central units. Prime-power groups and metacyclic groups with this property are characterized. Metacyclic groups are classified according to…

Let G be a finite group and cd(G) denote the set of complex irreducible character degrees of G. In this paper, we prove that if G is a finite group and H is an almost simple group whose socle is a sporadic simple group H0 such that cd(G) =…

We study the Fourier characterisation of strictly positive definite functions on compact abelian groups. Our main result settles the case $G = F \times \mathbb{T}^r$, with $r \in \mathbb{N}$ and $F$ finite. The characterisation obtained for…

We give a characterization of the graphs with at most three trivial characteristic ideals. This implies the complete characterization of the regular graphs whose critical groups have at most three invariant factors equal to 1 and the…

We classify the finite groups $G$ which satisfies the condition that every complex irreducible character,whose degree's square doesn't divide the index of its kernel in $G$, lies in the same Galois conjugacy class.

We show that any abelian variety that is not affine has a nontrivial strongly abelian subvariety. In later papers in this sequence we apply this result to the study of minimal abelian varieties.

Let $G$ be a finite non-abelian simple group, $C$ a non-identity conjugacy class of $G$, and $\Gamma_C$ the Cayley graph of $G$ based on $C \cup C^{-1}$. Our main result shows that in any such graph, there is an involution at bounded…

The goal of this article is to study results and examples concerning finitely presented covers of finitely generated amenable groups. We collect examples of groups $G$ with the following properties: (i) $G$ is finitely generated, (ii) $G$…

We consider the problem of classifying gradings by groups on a finite-dimensional algebra $A$ (with any number of multilinear operations) over an algebraically closed field. We introduce a class of gradings, which we call almost fine, such…

The characteristic polynomials of abelian varieties over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ with $q=p^n$ elements have a lot of arithmetic and geometric information. They have been explicitly described for abelian varieties up to dimension 4,…

We finish the classification, begun in two earlier papers, of all simple fusion systems over finite nonabelian $p$-groups with an abelian subgroup of index $p$. In particular, this gives many new examples illustrating the enormous variety…

We show that there is a class of finite groups, the so-called perfect groups, which cannot exhibit anomalies. This implies that all non-Abelian finite simple groups are anomaly-free. On the other hand, non-perfect groups generically suffer…

We show that many $2$-dimensional Artin groups are residually finite. This includes $3$-generator Artin groups with labels $\geq 4$ except for $(2m+1, 4,4)$ for any $m\geq 2$. As a first step towards residual finiteness we show that these…

We prove that a finite group acting by birational automorphisms of a non-trivial Severi-Brauer surface over a field of characteristic zero contains a normal abelian subgroup of index at most 3. Also, we find an explicit bound for orders of…

This paper deals with the number of subgroups of a given exponent in a finite abelian group. Explicit formulas are obtained in the case of rank two and rank three abelian groups. An asymptotic formula is also presented.

Let G be a group and H be a subgroup of G which is either finite or of finite index in G. In this note, we give some characterizations for normality of H in G. As a consequence we get a very short and elementary proof of the Main Theorem of…

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 $A$ be an elementary abelian $r$-group with rank at least $3$ that acts faithfully on the finite $r'$-group $G$. Assume that $G$ is $A$-simple, so that $G = K_{1} \times\cdots\times K_{n}$ where $K_{1},\ldots,K_{n}$ is a collection of…
