In this article, we investigate the possible torsion subgroups of twists of abelian varieties with good reduction. As an application, we prove a theorem concerning ramified primes over any quadratic extension where odd-order torsion growth…

We address two properties for Abelian topological groups: ``every closed subgroup is dually closed'' and ``every closed subgroup is dually embedded.'' We exhibit a pair of topological groups such that each has both of the properties and the…

In [10] Benjamin Klopsch and Ilir Snopce posted the conjecture that for $p\geq 3$ and $G$ a torsion-free pro-$p$ group $d(G)=\dim (G)$ is a sufficient and necessary condition for the pro-$p$ group $G$ to be uniform. They pointed out that…

In this paper we determine the torsion free rank of the group of endotrivial modules for any finite group of Lie type, in both defining and non-defining characteristic. On our way to proving this, we classify the maximal rank $2$ elementary…

We prove that a K\"ahler group which is cubulable, i.e. which acts properly discontinuously and cocompactly on a CAT(0) cubical complex, has a finite index subgroup isomorphic to a direct product of surface groups, possibly with a free…

Let $p$ be a prime integer and $\mathbb{Z}_p$ be the ring of $p$-adic integers. By a purely computational approach we prove that each nonzero normal element of a completed group algebra over the special linear group ${\rm…

We prove that a self-similar free abelian group has finite rank. We apply the result to self-similar wreath products of abelian groups $G=BwrX$. We show that if $X$ is torsion-free, then $B$ is torsion of finite exponent. Furthemore, we…

We prove several results about groups of finite Morley rank without unipotent p-torsion: p-torsion always occurs inside tori, Sylow p-subgroups are conjugate, and p is not the minimal prime divisor of our approximation to the ``Weyl…

For each prime $p$, we show that there exist geometrically simple abelian varieties $A/\mathbb Q$ with non-trivial $p$-torsion in their Tate-Shafarevich groups. Specifically, for any prime $N\equiv 1 \pmod{p}$, let $A_f$ be an optimal…

We study a class of finite groups $G$ which behave similarly to elementary abelian $p$-groups with $p$ prime, that is, there exists a subgroup $N$ such that all elements of $G\setminus N$ are conjugate or inverse-conjugate under $\Aut(G)$.…

Torsion-freeness for discrete quantum groups was introduced by R. Meyer in order to formulate a version of the Baum-Connes conjecture for discrete quantum groups. In this note, we introduce torsion-freeness for abstract fusion rings. We…

The classes of abelian groups that are (uniformly) strongly Hopfian abelian groups, and dually, (uniformly) strongly co-Hopfian abelian groups have been studied by several authors, including Abdelalim (2015) and Abdelalim-Chillali-Essanouni…

We prove that the lattice of normal subgroups of ultraproducts of compact simple non-abelian groups is distributive. In the case of ultraproducts of finite simple groups or compact connected simple Lie groups of bounded rank the set of…

Examples are given of non-elementary properties that are preserved under C-filtrations for various classes C of Abelian groups. The Baer-Specker group is never the union of a chain of proper subgroups with cotorsionfree quotients.…

In this short note we extend some results obtained in \cite{Gazaki2015}. First, we prove that for an abelian variety $A$ with good ordinary reduction over a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$ with $p$ an odd prime, the Albanese kernel of…

Let \Gamma be a finitely presentable pro-p group with a nontrivial finitely generated closed normal subgroup N of infinite index. Then def(\Gamma)\leq 1, and if def(\Gamma)=1 then \Gamma is a pro-p duality group of dimension 2, N is a free…

Let V(KG) be the normalized group of units of the group ring KG of a non-Dedekind group G with nontrivial torsion part t(G) over the integral domain K. We give a simple method for constructing free objects in V(KG).In particular, we show…

In this paper we show that there exists an uncountable family of finitely generated simple groups with the same positive theory as any non-abelian free group. In particular, these simple groups have infinite $w$-verbal width for all…

We present explicit equations of semi-stable elliptic surfaces (i.e., having only type $I_n$ singular fibers) which are associated to the torsion-free genus zero congruence subgroups of the modular group as classified by A. Sebbar.

A group is called metahamiltonian if all non-abelian subgroups of it are normal. This concept is a natural generalization of Hamiltonian groups. In this paper, the properties of finite metahamiltonian $p$-groups are investigated.
