We present an overview of the theory of finite groups, with regard to their application as flavour symmetries in particle physics. In a general part, we discuss useful theorems concerning group structure, conjugacy classes, representations…

We classify the linearly reductive finite subgroup schemes $G$ of $SL_2=SL(V)$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ of positive characteristic, up to conjugation. As a corollary, we prove that such $G$ is in one-to-one correspondence with…

Let $C/\mathbb{F}_q$ be a regular projective curve, $\infty \in C$ a closed point, $A := \Gamma(C - \{\infty\}, \mathcal{O}_C)$, and $K := K(C)$ the fraction field of $A$. Consider a finite extension $L/K$, a place $v$ of $L$, and an…

In this paper, we study the torsion subgroup, which is denoted by ${\rm TK}_1(E)$, of the Whitehead group $E^*/[E^*,E^*]$ of a graded division algebra $E$ which is finite dimensional over its center. In particular, we provide formulas for…

The connections between the properties of associative rings that are Lie-solvable (Engel, n-Engel, locally finite, respectively) and the properties of their adjoin subgroups are investigated.

T.C. Burness and S.D. Scott \cite{3} classified finite groups $G$ such that the number of prime order subgroups of $G$ is greater than $|G|/2-1$. In this note, we study finite groups $G$ whose subgroup graph contains a vertex of degree…

In this paper, we study lower bounds on the K-theory of the maximal $C^*$-algebra of a discrete group based on the amount of torsion it contains. We call this the finite part of the operator K-theory and give a lower bound that is valid for…

It is shown that a closed solvable subgroup of a connected Lie group is compactly generated. In particular, every discrete solvable subgroup of a connected Lie group is finitely generated. Generalizations to locally compact groups are…

We characterize the fundamental group of a locally finite graph G with ends combinatorially, as a group of infinite words. Our characterization gives rise to a canonical embedding of this group in the inverse limit of the (free) fundamental…

Let $F$ be a number field with ring of integers $O_F$ and let $G$ be a finite group. We describe an approach to the study of the set of realisable classes in the locally free class group $Cl(O_FG)$ of $O_FG$ that involves applying the work…

We prove a conjecture of Koll\'ar stating that the local fundamental group of a klt singularity $x$ is finite. In fact, we prove a stronger statement, namely that the fundamental group of the smooth locus of a neighbourhood of $x$ is…

For every positive integer $n$ we construct an example of a subgroup $L< G$ of a linear ${\rm CAT}(0)$ group $G$ such that $L$ is of finiteness type $\mathcal{F}_{n-1}$ and not $\mathcal{F}_n$, and $L$ does not admit a representation into…

Let G be a Chevalley group scheme and B<=G a Borel subgroup scheme, both defined over Z. Let K be a global function field, S be a finite non-empty set of places over K, and O_S be the corresponding S-arithmetic ring. Then, the S-arithmetic…

Let G be a Lie group over a local field of positive characteristic which admits a contractive automorphism f (i.e., the forward iterates f^n(x) of each group element x converge to the neutral element 1). We show that then G is a torsion…

Let $\Ga$ be a connected, solvable linear algebraic group over a number field~$K$, let $S$ be a finite set of places of~$K$ that contains all the infinite places, and let $\theints$ be the ring of $S$-integers of~$K$. We define a certain…

In this note, we study the problem on the existence of non-cyclic free subgroups of the skew group algebra of a locally finite group over a field.

We prove that certain Fuchsian triangle groups are profinitely rigid in the absolute sense, i.e. each is distinguished from all other finitely generated, residually finite groups by its set of finite quotients. We also develop a method…

We first prove that the Whitehead group of a torsion-free virtually solvable linear group vanishes. Next we make a reduction of the fibered isomorphism conjecture from virtually solvable groups to a class of virtually solvable Q-linear…

Let R[G] be the group ring of a group G over an associative ring R with unity such that all prime divisors of orders of elements of G are invertible in R. If R is finite and G is a Chernikov (torsion FC-) group, then each R-derivation of…

We prove that Thompson's group $F$ has a subgroup $H$ such that the conjugacy problem in $H$ is undecidable and the membership problem in $H$ is easily decidable. The subgroup $H$ of $F$ is a closed subgroup of $F$. That is, every function…
