The number of maximal abelian subgroups of a finite p-group is shown to be congruent to 1 modulo p.

We study the group of birational transformations of the plane that fix (each point of) a curve of geometric genus 1. A precise description of the finite elements is given; it is shown in particular that the order is at most 6, and that if…

Let $d(G)$ be the minimum number of elements required to generated a group $G.$ For a group $G $ of order $p^n$ with derived subgroup of order $ p^k $ and $d(G) = d,$ we knew the order of the Schur multiplier of $G$ is bounded by $…

In this short note, we describe the finite groups $G$ having $|G|-1$ cyclic subgroups. This leads to a nice characterization of the symmetric group $S_3$.

We prove that there are only finitely many closed hyperbolic 3-manifolds with injectivity radius and first eigenvalue of the Laplacian bounded below whose fundamental groups can be generated by a given number of elements. An application to…

For a group G and positive interger m, Gm denotes the subgroup generated by the elements gm where g runs through G. The subgroups not of the form Gm are called nonpower subgroups. We extend the classification of groups with few nonpower…

We consider Cremona transformations of the complex projective space of dimension 3 which factorize as a product of at most two elementary links of type II, without small contractions, connecting two Fano 3-folds. We show that there are…

It is proven that if $G$ is a finite group, then $G^\omega$ has $2^{\mathfrak c}$ dense nonmeasurable subgroups. Also, other examples of compact groups with dense nonmeasurable subgroups are presented.

We complete the classical and modern work on the classification of conjugacy classes of finite subgroups of the group of birational transformations of the complex projective plane.

For a number field K, we show that any S-arithmetic subgroup of SL_2(K) contains a subgroup of finite index generated by three elements if card(S)> 1.

The Cremona group is connected in any dimension and, endowed with its topology, it is simple in dimension 2. ----- Le groupe de Cremona est connexe en toute dimension et, muni de sa topologie, il est simple en dimension 2.

We give an example of a finitely presented simple group containing a finitely generated subgroup which is not finitely presented.

We classify all finite subgroups of the plane Cremona group which have a fixed point. In other words, we determine all rational surfaces X with an action of a finite group G such that X is equivariantly birational to a surface which has a…

In this note, we classify all finite groups having exactly 6, 7 or 8 cyclic subgroups. This gives a partial answer to the open problem posed by Tarnauceanu (Amer. Math. Monthly, 122 (2015), 275-276). As a consequence of our results, we also…

We study a conjecture by Deaconescu on the solubility of finite groups with claims that if more than half of the elements in a finite group has the same order $k$, then the group is soluble. We show that the original conjecture fails by…

Let $d$ be a positive integer. A finite group is called $d$-maximal if it can be generated by precisely $d$ elements, while its proper subgroups have smaller generating sets. For $d\in\{1,2\}$, the $d$-maximal groups have been classified up…

Recent results of Qu and Tuarnauceanu describe explicitly the finite p-groups which are not elementary abelian and have the property that the number of their subgroups is maximal among p-groups of a given order. We complement these results…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $\alpha(G)=\frac{|C(G)|}{|G|}$\,, where $C(G)$ denotes the set of cyclic subgroups of $G$. In this short note, we prove that $\alpha(G)\leq\alpha(Z(G))$ and we describe the groups $G$ for which the equality…

The Cremona group $\mathrm{Bir}(\mathbb{P}^2_\mathbb{C})$ is the group of birational self-maps of $\mathbb{P}^2_\mathbb{C}$. Using the action of $\mathrm{Bir}(\mathbb{P}^2_\mathbb{C})$ on the Picard-Manin space of $\mathbb{P}^2_\mathbb{C}$…

We show that the plane Cremona group over a field of characteristic p > 0 does not contain elements of order of power of p larger than 2 and it does not contain elements of order p^2 unless p =2. Also we describe conjugacy classes of…
