Given a finite group $G$, we denote by $\nu(G)$ the probability that two randomly chosen elements of $G$ generate a nilpotent subgroup. We prove that if $\nu(G)>1/12,$ then $G$ is solvable.

Let $n \in \NN$ and let $q=p^r$ be an odd prime power. Let $R$ be a finite commutative local principal ring of cardinality $q^{n}$ with $R/J(R) \simeq GF(q)$. We study the conjugation action of the group of all unipotent elements in the…

It is proved that tight closure commutes with localization in any domain which has a module finite extension in which tight closure is known to commute with localization. It follows that tight closure commutes with localization in binomial…

The action of the idempotent deformations on finite groups is discussed. This action is described in terms of the homological properties of groups. The orbits of finite simple groups are determined.

A permutation group is {\it binary} if its orbits on $k$-tuples, for any integer $k\geq 2$, can be deduced from its orbits on $2$-tuples. Cherlin conjectured that a finite primitive binary permutation group $G$ must lie in one of three…

The relative commutativity degree of a subgroup $H$ of a finite group $G$, denoted by $\Pr(H, G)$, is the probability that an element of $G$ commutes with an element of $H$. In this article we obtain some lower and upper bounds for $\Pr(H,…

The purpose of this paper is to explore the concept of localization, which comes from homotopy theory, in the context of finite simple groups. We give an easy criterion for a finite simple group to be a localization of some simple subgroup…

Let $G$ be a closed highly homogeneous subgroup of $S_{\infty}$ not involving circular orderings. We show that the closure of a conjugacy class from $G$ contains a conjugacy class which is comeagre in it. Furthermore, we show that the…

The Union Closed Sets Conjecture states that in every finite, nontrivial set family closed under taking unions there is an element contained in at least half of all the sets of the family. We investigate two new directions with respect to…

The degree of commutativity of a finite group is the probability that two uniformly and randomly chosen elements commute. This notion extends naturally to finitely generated groups $G$: the degree of commutativity $\text{dc}_S(G)$, with…

We prove that |A^n| > c_n |A|^{[\frac{n+1}{2}]} for any finite subset A of a free group if A contains at least two noncommuting elements, where c_n>0 are constants not depending on A. Simple examples show that the order of these estimates…

This paper introduces and studies the higher-order group inverse in a ring. We extend known properties of the higher-order group inverse from complex matrices to elements of a ring and, in the process, derive new results. We further…

For a commutative semiring S, by an S-algebra we mean a commutative semiring A equipped with a homomorphism from S to A. We show that the subvariety of S-algebras determined by the identities 1+2x=1 and x^2=x is closed under non-empty…

For a finite group $G$, we study the probability $sp(G)$ that, given two elements $x,y \in G$, the cyclic subgroup $\langle x \rangle$ is subnormal in the subgroup $\langle x, y \rangle$. This can be seen as an intermediate invariant…

In this paper, we are mainly interested in the two questions "which are the commutative rings on which every finitely presented modules is [Formula: see text]-periodic (respectively, [Formula: see text]-periodic)?". It is proved that these…

We provide an explicit construction for a complete set of orthogonal primitive idempotents of finite group algebras over nilpotent groups. Furthermore, we give a complete set of matrix units in each simple epimorphic image of a finite group…

Let $N$ be a normal subgroup of a finite group $G$. For a faithful $N$-set $\Delta$, applying the university embedding theorem one can construct a faithful $G$-set $\Omega$. In this short note, it is proved that if the $2$-closure of $N$ in…

Amenable groups are those admitting an invariant mean -- a finitely additive probability mean that assigns equal ``weight'' to any two translates of the same set. We introduce coset correct means (CCMs), a class of finitely additive means…

It is an old conjecture, that finite $H$-spaces are homotopy equivalent to manifolds. Here we prove that this conjecture is true for loop spaces. Actually, we show that every quasi finite loop space is equivalent to a stably parallelizable…

The famous Burnside-Schur theorem states that every primitive finite permutation group containing a regular cyclic subgroup is either 2-transitive or isomorphic to a subgroup of a 1-dimensional affine group of prime degree. It is known that…
