We show that any parabolic generating pair of a genus-one hyperbolic 2-bridge knot group is equivalent to the upper or lower meridian pair. As an application, we obtain a complete classification of the epimorphisms from 2-bridge knot groups…

We provide an example of a non-finitely generated group which admits a nonempty strongly aperiodic SFT. Furthermore, we completely characterize the groups with this property in terms of their finitely generated subgroups and the roots of…

As defined by Guralnick and Saxl given a nonabelian simple group $S$ and its nonidentity automorphism $x$, a natural number $\alpha_S(x)$ does not exceed a natural number $m$ if some $m$ conjugates of $x$ in the group $\langle x,S\rangle$…

Given a finite group $G$, let $P_G(s)$ be the probability that $s$ randomly chosen elements generate $G$, and let $H$ be a finite group with $P_G(s)=P_H(s)$. We show that if the nonabelian composition factors of $G$ and $H$ are…

We state the generating hypothesis in the homotopy category of G-spectra for a compact Lie group G, and prove that if G is finite, then the generating hypothesis implies the strong generating hypothesis, just as in the non-equivariant case.…

Let $G$ be a compact connected Lie group and let H be a subgroup fixed by an involution. A classical result assures that the action of the complex reductive group $H_C$ on the flag variety $F$ of $G$ admits a finite number of orbits. In…

In previous work, the authors confirmed the speculation of J. G. Thompson that certain multiquadratic fields are generated by specified character values of sufficiently large alternating groups $A_n$. Here we address the natural…

A generating set $S$ for a group $G$ is independent if the subgroup generated by $S\setminus \{s\}$ is properly contained in $G$, for all $s \in S.$ In this paper, we study a problem proposed by Peter Glasby: we investigate finite groups,…

In this paper, we formulate and prove linear analogues of results concerning matchings in groups. A matching in a group G is a bijection f between two finite subsets A,B of G with the property, motivated by old questions on symmetric…

It is known that the number of homomorphisms from a group $F$ to a group $G$ is divisible by the greatest common divisor of the order of $G$ and the exponent of $F/[F,F]$. We investigate the number of homomorphisms satisfying some natural…

Let $R$ be a subset of a group $G$. We call a subgroup $H$ of $G$ the $R$-conjugate-permutable subgroup of $G$, if $HH^{x}=H^{x}H$ for all $x\in R$. This concept is a generalization of conjugate-permutable subgroups introduced by T. Foguel.…

We study Nielsen equivalence classes of generating pairs of Kleinian groups and HNN-extensions. We establish the following facts: - Hyperbolic 2-bridge knot groups have infinitely many Nielsen classes of generating pairs. - For any natural…

We prove that Thompson's group $F$ has a generating set with two elements such that every two powers of them generate a finite index subgroup of $F$.

Let G be a closed transitive subgroup of Homeo(S^1) which contains a non-constant continuous path f: [0,1] --> G. We show that up to conjugation G is one of the following groups: SO(2,R), PSL(2,R), PSL_k(2,R), Homeo_k(S^1), Homeo(S^1). This…

In this note, we consider all possible extensions G of a non-trivial perfect group H acting faithfully on a K3 surface X. The pair (X, G) is proved to be uniquely determined by G if the transcendental value of G is maximum. In particular,…

We improve on recent estimates for the probability of generating the alternating and symmetric groups $\mathrm{Alt}(n)$ and $\mathrm{Sym}(n)$. In particular we find the sharp lower bound, if the probability is given by a quadratic in…

Let $G$ be a finitely generated group of isometries of $\HH^m$, hyperbolic $m$-space, for some positive integer $m$. %or equivalently elements of $PSL(2,\CC)$. The discreteness problem is to determine whether or not $G$ is discrete. Even in…

We give generating sets of the Jacobson radical of the hyperalgebra of the $r$-th Frobenius kernel of the algebraic group ${\rm SL}_2$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. This result generalizes earlier work by Wong…

We introduce L-presentations: group presentations given by a generating set, a set of relations and a set of substitution rules on the generating set producing more relations. We first study in full generality the structure of finitely…
