A corollary of Kneser's theorem, one sees that any finite non-empty subset $A$ of an abelian group $G = (G,+)$ with $|A + A| \leq (2-\eps) |A|$ can be covered by at most $\frac{2}{\eps}-1$ translates of a finite group $H$ of cardinality at…
For a group $G$, $\mathcal{F}_G$ denotes the set of all non-empty finite subsets of $G$. We extend the finitary coarse structure of $G$ from $G\times G$ to $\mathcal{F}_G\times \mathcal{F}_G$ and say that a macro-uniform mapping $f:…
We study a characteristic subgroup of finitely generated groups, consisting of elements with uniform upper bound for word-lengths. For a group $G$, we denote this subgroup by $G_{bound}$. We give sufficient criteria for triviality and…
In the study of factorizations of finite cyclic groups, a classical problem is to investigate the properties of factorization sets $A$ and $B$ in the direct sum decomposition $A \oplus B = \mathbb{Z}_{M}$ with $|A| = |B| =\sqrt{M}$, where…
An old problem in group theory is that of describing how the order of an element behaves under multiplication. To generalize some classical bounds concerning the order $\mathrm o(ab)$ of two elements $a, b$ in a finite abelian group to the…
Let $G$ be a group. A subset $D$ of $G$ is a determining set of $G$, if every automorphism of $G$ is uniquely determined by its action on $D$. The determining number of $G$, denoted by $\alpha(G)$, is the cardinality of a smallest…
Let $M$ be a cancellative commutative monoid and call a submonoid $S$ of $M$ an undermonoid if $\G(S)=\G(M)$ inside the Grothendieck group of $M$. Gotti and Li asked whether the finite factorization property is hereditary once it is known…
Let $FG$ be the group algebra of a finite $2$-group $G$ over a finite field $F$ of characteristic two and $\circledast$ an involution which arises from $G$. The $\circledast$-unitary subgroup of $FG$, denoted by $V_{\circledast}(FG)$, is…
A finite group $G$ is called monomial if every irreducible character of $G$ is induced from a linear character of some subgroup of $G$. One of the main questions regarding monomial groups is whether or not a normal subgroup $N$ of a…
A higher order difference equation may be generally defined in an arbitrary nonempty set S as: \[ f_{n}(x_{n},x_{n-1},...,x_{n-k})=g_{n}(x_{n},x_{n-1},...,x_{n-k}) \] where $f_{n},g_{n} :S^{k+1}\rightarrow S$ are given functions for…
Suppose $G$ is a finite abelian group and $S$ is a sequence of elements in $G$. For any element $g$ of $G$, let $N_g(S)$ denote the number of subsequences of $S$ with sum $g$. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the lower bound for…
Let $W,W'\subseteq G$ be nonempty subsets in an arbitrary group $G$. The set $W'$ is said to be a complement to $W$ if $WW'=G$ and it is minimal if no proper subset of $W'$ is a complement to $W$. We show that, if $W$ is finite then every…
Hall's theorem on differences of bijections characterizes the multisets $$ \{a_1,\ldots,a_{|G|}\} $$ in a finite abelian group $G$ that can be written in the form $$ a_i=b_i-c_i, $$ where both $b_1,\ldots,b_{|G|}$ and $c_1,\ldots,c_{|G|}$…
We classify those 2-groups G which factorise as a product of two disjoint cyclic subgroups A and B, transposed by an automorphism of order 2. The case where G is metacyclic having been dealt with elsewhere, we show that for each e>2 there…
A finite group $G$ is called uniformly semi-rational if there exists an integer $r$ such that the generators of every cyclic sugroup $\langle x \rangle$ of $G$ lie in at most two conjugacy classes, namely $x^G$ or $(x^r)^G$. In this paper,…
In 1979, Miller proved that for a group $G$ of odd order, two minimal group codes in $\mathbb{F}_2G$ are $G$-equivalent if and only they have identical weight distribution. In 2014, Ferraz-Guerreiro-Polcino Milies disprove Miller's result…
We obtain some structural properties of a factorised group $G = AB$, given that the conjugacy class sizes of certain elements in $A\cup B$ are not divisible by $p^2$, for some prime $p$. The case when $G = AB$ is a mutually permutable…
For a finite group $G$ and an element $x\in G$, the subset $$ nil_G(x)=\{y\in G \mid <x,y>~~ is ~~ nilpotent\}$$ is called nilpotentizer of $x$ in $G$. In this paper, we give two solvabilty criteria for a finite group by the structure and…
A result of D. Segal states that every complex irreducible representation of a finitely generated nilpotent group $G$ is monomial if and only if $G$ is abelian-by-finite. A conjecture of A. N. Parshin, recently proved affirmatively by I.V.…
A binary operation on any set induces a binary operation on its subsets. We explore families of subsets of a group that become a group under the induced operation and refer to such families as power groups of the given group. Our results…
