We determine the structure of automorphism group or each nonsplit metacyclic 2-group. This completes the work on automorphism groups of metacyclic $p$-groups.

Let $G$ be a transitive normal subgroup of a permutation group $A$ of finite degree $n$. The factor group $A/G$ can be considered as a certain Galois group and one would like to bound its size. One of the results of the paper is that $|A/G|…

Philip Hall raised around 1965 the following question which is stated in the Kourovka Notebook: Is there a non-trivial group which is isomorphic with every proper extension of itself by itself? We will decompose the problem into two parts:…

Let $G$ be a group and assume that $(A_p)_{p\in G}$ is a family of algebras with identity. We have a {\it Hopf $G$-coalgebra} (in the sense of Turaev) if, for each pair $p,q\in G$, there is given a unital homomorphism $\co_{p,q}:A_{pq}\to…

Let G be an abelian p-group sum of finite homocyclic groups Gi. Here, we determine in which cases the automorphism group of G splits over ker(h), where h: Aut(G)-->Xi Aut(Gi/pGi) is the natural epimorphism.

We study the probability of a given element, in the commutator subgroup of a group, to be equal to a commutator of two randomly chosen group elements, and compute explicit formulas for calculating this probability for some interesting…

By a 2-group we mean a groupoid equipped with a weakened group structure. It is called split when it is equivalent to the semidirect product of a discrete 2-group and a one-object 2-group. By a permutation 2-group we mean the 2-group…

We give a classification of the $p$--local stable homotopy type of $BG$, where $G$ is a finite group, in purely algebraic terms. $BG$ is determined by conjugacy classes of homomorphisms from $p$--groups into $G$. This classification greatly…

For a group $G$, let $U$ be the group of units of the integral group ring $\mathbb{Z}G$. The group $G$ is said to have the normalizer property if $\text{N}_U(G)=\text{Z}(U)G$. It is shown that Blackburn groups have the normalizer property.…

Let $G$ be a cyclic $p$-group for some prime number $p>0$ and let $R$ be a complete discrete valuation ring in mixed characteristic. In this paper, we present a generalization of two results that characterize $RG$-permutation modules,…

Let G be a connected and reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p > 0. An interesting class of representations of G consists of those G-modules having a good filtration -- i.e. a filtration whose…

For $g\geq 2$, let $\text{Mod}(S_g)$ be the mapping class group of the closed orientable surface $S_g$ of genus $g$. In this paper, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of infinite metacyclic subgroups of…

We show that if $G$ is a finite group whose Sylow $2$-subgroups are wreathed, then the intersection $\Outc(G) \cap \OutCol(G)$ has odd order, where $\Outc(G)$ and $\OutCol(G)$ denote the class-preserving and Coleman outer automorphism…

A finite $p$-group $G$ is said to be $d$-maximal if $d(H)<d(G)$ for every subgroup $H<G$, where $d(G)$ denotes the minimal number of generators of $G$. A similar definition can be formulated when $G$ is acted on by some group $A$. We…

Let $d$ be a square-free integer, $\mathbf{k}=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt d,\,i)$ and $i=\sqrt{-1}$. Let $\mathbf{k}_1^{(2)}$ be the Hilbert $2$-class field of $\mathbf{k}$, $\mathbf{k}_2^{(2)}$ be the Hilbert $2$-class field of $\mathbf{k}_1^{(2)}$…

Let $G$ and $N$ be two finite groups of the same order. It is well-known that the existences of the following are equivalent: (a) a Hopf-Galois structure of type $N$ on any Galois $G$-extension; (b) a skew brace with additive group $N$ and…

Let $ L/K $ be a finite separable extension of fields whose Galois closure $ E/K $ has group $ G $. Greither and Pareigis have used Galois descent to show that a Hopf algebra giving a Hopf-Galois structure on $ L/K $ has the form $ E[N]^{G}…

A proper subgroup $H$ of a group $G$ is said to be: $\Bbb{P}$-subnormal in $G$ if there exists a chain of subgroups $H=H_0 < H_1< ... < H_{n}=G$ such that $|H_{i}:H_{i-1}|$ is a prime for $i=1,...,n$; $\Bbb{P}$-abnormal in $G$ if for every…

Calculating multiple zeta values at arguments of any sign in a way that is compatible with both the quasi-shuffle product as well as meromorphic continuation, is commonly referred to as the renormalisation problem for multiple zeta values.…

Let $\sigma =\{\sigma_{i} | i\in I\}$ be some partition of the set of all primes $\Bbb{P}$ and $G$ a finite group. $G$ is said to be $\sigma$-soluble if every chief factor $H/K$ of $G$ is a $\sigma _{i}$-group for some $i=i(H/K)$. A set…
