Let $G\in\{p,q\}^*$ be a finite group with trivial center, where $p,q\in\pi(G)$ and $p>q>5$. In the present paper it is proved that $|G|_{\{p,q\}}=|G||_{\{p,q\}}$; in particular $C_G(g)\cap C_G(h)=1$ for every $p$-element $g$ and every…

Consider the pair $(G,P)$ consisting of an abelian lattice-ordered discrete group $G$ and its positive cone $P$. Let $\alpha$ be an action of $P$ by extendible endomorphisms of a $C^*$-algebra $A$. We show that the Nica-Toeplitz algebra…

An action of a group $G$ is highly transitive if $G$ acts transitively on $k$-tuples of distinct points for all $k \geq 1$. Many examples of groups with a rich geometric or dynamical action admit highly transitive actions. We prove that if…

Let $\Lambda$ be a countably infinite property (T) group, and let $D$ be UHF-algebra of infinite type. We prove that there exists a continuum of pairwise non (weakly) cocycle conjugate, strongly outer actions of $\Lambda$ on $D$. The proof…

We determine the nature of the fixed point sets of groups of order p, acting on complexes of distinguished p-subgroups (those p-subgroups containing p-central elements in their centers). The case when G has parabolic characteristic p is…

Let R(N,G) be the connected component of the identity of the variety of representations of a finitely generated nilpotent group N into a connected compact Lie group G, and let X(N,G) be the corresponding moduli space. We show that there…

Let $(X,J) $ be an almost complex manifold with a (smooth) involution $\sigma:X\to X$ such that $Fix(\sigma)\neq \emptyset$. Assume that $\sigma$ is a complex conjugation, i.e, the differential of $\sigma$ anti-commutes with $J$. The space…

We introduce a notion of entropy for automorphisms of discrete groups which admit amenable actions on a compact space. This entropy is dual to classical topological entropy in the sense that if G is discrete and abelian then our notion of…

Let $G$ be a finite group, define $I(G)=\{x\in G : x^{2}=1\}$, $C(G)=$ set of the cyclic subgroups of $G$, $i(G)=|I(G)|$ and $c(G)=|C(G)|$. In this article, we will classify finite groups with $i(G)=c(G)-r$ for $r=0,1,$ and $2$. We also…

For a prime number $p$, we show that if two certain canonical finite quotients of a finitely generated Bloch-Kato pro-$p$ group $G$ coincide, then $G$ has a very simple structure, i.e., $G$ is a $p$-adic analytic pro-$p$ group. This result…

Let $G$ be a finite group, let $x \in G$, and let $p$ be a prime. We prove that the commutator $[x,g]$ is a $p$-element for every $g \in G$ if and only if $x$ is central modulo $\mathbf{O}_p(G)$, where $\mathbf{O}_p(G)$ denotes the largest…

We study the groups $G$ with the curious property that there exists an element $k\in G$ and a function $f\colon G\to G$ such that $f(xk)=xf(x)$ holds for all $x\in G$. This property arose from the study of near-rings and input-output…

Functional conjugation methods are used to analyze the global structure of various renormalization group trajectories, and to gain insight into the interplay between continuous and discrete rescaling. With minimal assumptions, the methods…

The power graph $\mathcal P_G$ of a finite group $G$ is the graph with the vertex set $G$, where two elements are adjacent if one is a power of the other. We first show that $\mathcal P_G$ has an transitive orientation, so it is a perfect…

Let $S$ be a semigroup. The elements $a,b\in S$ are called primarily conjugate if $a=xy$ and $b=yx$ for certain $x,y\in S$. The relation of conjugacy is defined as the transitive closure of the relation of primary conjugacy. In the case…

Let $G$ be one of the Artin groups of finite type ${\mathbf B}_n={\mathbf C}_n$, and affine type $\tilde{\mathbf A}_{n-1}$ and $\tilde{\mathbf C}_{n-1}$. In this paper, we show that if $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are elements of $G$ such that…

This article studies a structural aspect of measure-preserving actions of products of countable discrete groups, involving a so-called 'synergodic decomposition' in terms of the ergodic components of the actions of the two factor groups. We…

In this paper we find all solvable subgroups of Diff^omega(S^1) and classify their actions. We also investigate the C^r local rigidity of actions of the solvable Baumslag-Solitar groups on the circle. The investigation leads to two novel…

We initiate the study of p-adic algebraic groups G from the stability-theoretic and definable topological-dynamical points of view, that is, we consider invariants of the action of G on its space of types over Q_p in the language of fields.…

We say that a countable discrete group action $\alpha$ on a C$^*$-algebra $A$ is \textit{$\mathcal{W}$-absorbing} if there exist a C$^*$-algebra $B$ and an action $\beta$ on $B$ such that $\alpha$ is cocycle conjugate to $\beta\otimes…
