This article produces a complete list of all maximal subgroups of the finite simple groups of type $F_4$, $E_6$, and twisted $E_6$ over all finite fields. Along the way, we determine the collection of Lie primitive almost simple subgroups…

Let G be a 2-group of order 2^n, n>5, and nilpotency class n-2. The invariants of such groups determined by their group algebras over the field of two elements are given in the paper.

For $k, \ell \in \mathbb{N}$, we introduce the concepts of $k$-ultrahomogeneity and $\ell$-tuple regularity for finite groups. Inspired by analogous concepts in graph theory, these form a natural generalization of homogeneity, which was…

Let $\lambda(G)$ be the maximum number of subgroups in an irredundant covering of a finite group $G$. We prove that the finite groups with $\lambda(G)=|G|-t$, where $t\leq 5$, are solvable, and classify such groups.

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.

We present a proof of a result, previously announced by the second author, that there is a closed (even $\Pi^0_1$) set generating an $F_\sigma$ (even $\Sigma^0_2$) maximal cofinitary group (short, mcg) which is isomorphic to a free group.…

If S is a subgroup of a direct product of two limit groups, and S is of type FP(2) over the rationals, then S has a subgroup of finite index that is a direct product of at most two limit groups.

It is well known that every finite simple group can be generated by two elements and this leads to a wide range of problems that have been the focus of intensive research in recent years. In this survey article we discuss some of the…

In this paper, in the first we give definitions of some classes of division rings which strictly contain the class of centrally finite division rings. One of our main purpose is to construct non-trivial examples of rings of new defined…

We provide non-isomorphic finite 2-groups which have isomorphic group algebras over any field of characteristic 2, thus settling the Modular Isomorphism Problem.

We give two examples of a finitely generated subgroup of a free group and a subset, closed in the profinite topology of a free group, such that their product is not closed in the profinite topology of a free group.

The fundamental groups of compact 3-manifolds are known to be residually finite. Feng Luo conjectured that a stronger statement is true, by only allowing finite groups of the form $PGL(2,R),$ where $R$ is some finite commutative ring with…

We study a question of Matui and varations of it on minimal ample groupoids that are neither almost finite nor purely infinite. We first observe that there are already effective minimal ample transformation groupoids that are neither almost…

It is known that the level $2$ principal congruence subgroup of $GL(n;\mathbb{Z})$ has a finite generating set. In this paper, we give a finite presentation of the level $2$ principal congruence subgroup of $GL(n;\mathbb{Z})$.

A pseudomodular group is a discrete subgroup $\Gamma \leq PGL(2,\mathbb{Q})$ which is not commensurable with $PSL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ and has cusp set precisely $\mathbb{Q}\cup\{\infty\}$. The existence of such groups was proved by Long and…

A quasigroup $Q$ is called maximally nonassociative if for $x,y,z\in Q$ we have that $x\cdot (y\cdot z) = (x\cdot y)\cdot z$ only if $x=y=z$. We show that, with finitely many exceptions, there exists a maximally nonassociative quasigroup of…

We prove that certain Fuchsian triangle groups are profinitely rigid in the absolute sense, i.e. each is distinguished from all other finitely generated, residually finite groups by its set of finite quotients. We also develop a method…

We investigate the finite groups $G$ for which $\chi(1)^{2}=|G:Z(\chi)|$ for all characters $\chi \in Irr(G)$ and $|cd(G)|=2$. We obtain some alternate characterizations of these groups and we obtain some information regarding the structure…

We give a comprehensive description of the sets $A$ in finite cyclic groups such that $|2A|<\frac94|A|$; namely, we show that any set with this property is densely contained in a (one-dimensional) coset progression. This improves earlier…

In his paper "Finite groups have many conjugacy classes" (J. London Math. Soc (2) 46 (1992), 239-249), L. Pyber proved the to date best general lower bounds for the number of conjugacy classes of a finite group in terms of the order of the…
