We prove that if $(H,G)$ is a small, $nm$-stable compact $G$-group, then $H$ is nilpotent-by-finite, and if additionally $\NM(H) \leq \omega$, then $H$ is abelian-by-finite. Both results are significant steps towards the proof of the…

For a group G and an element a in G let |a|_k denote the cardinality of the set of commutators [a,x_1,...,x_k], where x_1,...,x_k range over G. The main result of the paper states that a group G is finite-by-nilpotent if and only if there…

Let $G$ be a group that is relatively hyperbolic with respect to a collection of subgroups $\{H_{\lambda}\}_{\lambda\in \Lambda}$. Suppose that $G$ is given by a finite relative presentation $\mathcal{P}$ with respect to this collection. We…

We associate a graph $\mathcal{N}_{G}$ with a group $G$ (called the non-nilpotent graph of $G$) as follows: take $G$ as the vertex set and two vertices are adjacent if they generate a non-nilpotent subgroup. In this paper we study the graph…

In the paper autonilpotent groups were characterized as groups $G$ such that $\mathrm{Aut}G$ stabilizes some chain of subgroups of $G$. It was shown that a $p$-group is autonilpotent if and only if its group of automorphisms is also a…

Let $\mathfrak{F}$ be a formation and $G$ a finite group. A subgroup $H$ of $G$ is said to be weakly $\mathfrak{F}_{s}$-quasinormal in $G$ if $G$ has an $S$-quasinormal subgroup $T$ such that $HT$ is $S$-quasinormal in $G$ and $(H\cap…

Thompson's theorem stated that a finite group $G$ is solvable if and only if every $2$-generated subgroup of $G$ is solvable. In this paper, we prove some new criteria for both solvability and nilpotency of a finite group using certain…

Let $A$ and $G$ be finite groups such that $A$ acts coprimely on $G$ by automorphisms, assume that $G$ has a maximal $A$-invariant subgroup $M$ that is a direct product of some isomorphic simple groups, we prove that if $G$ has a…

If G is a finitely generated powerful pro-p group satisfying a certain law v=1, and if G can be generated by a normal subset T of finite width which satisfies a positive law, we prove that G is nilpotent. Furthermore, the nilpotency class…

For a finite group $G$, let $LC(G)$ be the subgroup generated by elements $x$ such that, for all $y \in G$ and all integers $n$, the order of $x^n y$ divides the least common multiple of the orders of $x$ and $y$. This subgroup is a…

Following Isaacs (see [Isa08, p. 94]), we call a normal subgroup N of a finite group G large, if $C_G(N) \leq N$, so that N has bounded index in G. Our principal aim here is to establish some general results for systematically producing…

Suppose that a finite group $G$ admits a Frobenius group of automorphisms FH of coprime order with cyclic kernel F and complement H such that the fixed point subgroup $C_G(H)$ of the complement is nilpotent of class $c$. It is proved that…

In this note, I propose the following conjecture: a finite group G is nilpotent if and only if its largest quotient B-group \beta(G) is nilpotent. I give a proof of this conjecture under the additional assumption that G be solvable. I also…

We show that every finite group $G$ of size at least $3$ has a nilpotent subgroup of class at most $2$ and size at least $|G|^{1/32\log\log|G|}$. This answers a question of Pyber, and is essentially best possible.

A Schmidt group is a non-nilpotent group whose every proper subgroup is nilpotent. We study the properties of a non-nilpotent group G in which every Schmidt subgroup is a Hall subgroup of G.

For any group G, let C(G) denote the intersection of the normal- izers of centralizers of all elements of G. Set C0 = 1. Define Ci+1(G)=Ci(G) = C(G=Ci(G)) for i ? 0. By C1(G) denote the terminal term of the ascending series. In this paper,…

A covering of a group is a finite set of proper subgroups whose union is the whole group. A covering is minimal if there is no covering of smaller cardinality, and it is nilpotent if all its members are nilpotent subgroups. We complete a…

We prove that if a linear group $G$ is almost Engel, then $G$ is finite-by-hypercentral. If $G$ is almost nil, then $G$ is finite-by-nilpotent.

A finite group $G$ is said to be a $\mathcal{B}_{\psi}$-group if $\psi(H)<|G|$ for any proper subgroup $H$ of $G$, where $\psi(H)$ denotes the sum of element orders of $H$. In this paper, we characterize the $\mathcal{B}_{\psi}$-groups up…

Some properties of abnormal subgroups in generalized soluble groups will be considered. In particular, the transitivity of abnormality in metahypercentral groups is proven. Also it will be proven that a subgroup H of a radical group G is…
