Let $n$ be a positive integer and let $f_1, \ldots, f_r$ be polynomials in $n^2$ indeterminates over an algebraically closed field $K$. We describe an algorithm to decide if the invertible matrices contained in the variety of $f_1, \ldots,…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $\psi(G) = \sum_{g \in G} o(g)$, where $o(g)$ denotes the order of $g \in G$. In [M. Herzog, et. al., Two new criteria for solvability of finite groups, J. Algebra, 2018], the authors put forward the following…

For any finite group Q not of prime power order, we construct a group G that is virtually of type F, contains infinitely many conjugacy classes of subgroups isomorphic to Q, and contains only finitely many conjugacy classes of other finite…

We know that any finite abelian group $G$ appears as a subgroup of infinitely many multiplicative groups $\mathbb{Z}_n^\times$ (the abelian groups of size $\phi(n)$ that are the multiplicative groups of units in the rings…

In [3] is was shown that for any group $G$ whose rank (i.e., minimal number of generators) is at most 3, and any finite index subgroup $H\leq G$ with index $[G:H]\geq rank(G)$, one can always find a left-right transversal of $H$ which…

A graph $G$ is called $3$-choice critical if $G$ is not $2$-choosable but any proper subgraph is $2$-choosable. A graph $G$ is strongly fractional $r$-choosable if $G$ is $(a,b)$-choosable for all positive integers $a,b$ for which $a/b \ge…

Global internal symmetries act unitarily on local observables or states of a quantum system. In this note, we aim to generalise this statement to extended observables by considering unitary actions of finite global 2-group symmetries…

In this note we study the natural question of when the generalised F{\o}lner sets exhibiting property A can be chosen to be subsets of the space itself. We show that for many property A spaces $X$, this is indeed possible. Specifically this…

We prove that the subgroup graph of a finite group $G$ is regular if and only if $G$ is cyclic with square-free order.

The enhanced power graph, $\mathcal{E}(G)$, of a group $G$ has vertex set $G$ and two elements are adjacent if they generate a cyclic subgroup. In the case of finite groups, we identify some striking and unexpected properties of these…

In 1968, John Thompson proved that a finite group $G$ is solvable if and only if every $2$-generator subgroup of $G$ is solvable. In this paper, we prove that solvability of a finite group $G$ is guaranteed by a seemingly weaker condition:…

The aim of the article is to show that there are many finite extensions of arithmetic groups which are not residually finite. Suppose $G$ is a simple algebraic group over the rational numbers satisfying both strong approximation, and the…

Let $\C$ be a variety of finite groups. We use profinite Bass--Serre theory to show that if $u:H\hookrightarrow G$ is a map of finitely generated residually $\C$ groups such that the induced map $\hat{u}:\hat{H}\rightarrow\hat{G}$ is a…

This paper gives a quick overview of the author's recent result that all finitely presented groups are QSF.

Given a coarse space $(X, \mathcal{E})$, we consider linear orders on $X$ compatible with the coarse structure $\mathcal E$ and explore interplays between these orders and macro-uniform selectors of $(X, \mathcal{E})$.

We prove that the genus of a finite-dimensional division algebra is finite whenever the center is a finitely generated field of any characteristic. We also discuss potential applications of our method to other problems, including the…

A group $G$ is said to be $\frac{3}{2}$-generated if every nontrivial element belongs to a generating pair. It is easy to see that if $G$ has this property then every proper quotient of $G$ is cyclic. In this paper we prove that the…

Let $G$ be a group and $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of subgroups closed under conjugation and subgroups. A model for the classifying space $E_{\mathcal{F}} G$ is a $G$-CW-complex $X$ such that every isotropy group belongs to $\mathcal{F}$, and…

Let $n$ be a positive integer and let $G$ be a group. We denote by $\nu(G)$ a certain extension of the non-abelian tensor square $G \otimes G$ by $G \times G$. Set $T_{\otimes}(G) = \{g \otimes h \mid g,h \in G\}$. We prove that if the size…

Answer set programming - the most popular problem solving paradigm based on logic programs - has been recently extended to support uninterpreted function symbols. All of these approaches have some limitation. In this paper we propose a…
