A group $G$ is integrable if it is isomorphic to the derived subgroup of a group $H$; that is, if $H'\simeq G$, and in this case $H$ is an integral of $G$. If $G$ is a subgroup of $U$, we say that $G$ is integrable within $U$ if $G=H'$ for…

A group $G$ is said to have restricted centralizers if for every $x\in G$ the centralizer $C_G(x)$ either is finite or has finite index in $G$. Shalev showed that a profinite group with restricted centralizers is virtually abelian. Here we…

A sufficient condition for the existence of HNN-extensions in the class of groups of odd exponent $n \gg 1$ is given in the following form. Let $Q$ be a group of odd exponent $n > 2^{48}$ and $\mathcal G$ be an HNN-extension of $Q$. If $A…

Let $G$ be a finite group. In a famous article, Quillen describes an $\mathrm{F}$-isomorphism between commutative $\mathbb{N}$-graded $\mathbb{F}_{2}$-algebras $$\mathrm{q}_{G}:\mathrm{H}^{*}(G;\mathbb{F}_{2})\to\mathrm{L}(G)\ ,$$ with…

The variety of principal minors of $n\times n$ symmetric matrices, denoted $Z_{n}$, is invariant under the action of a group $G\subset \GL(2^{n})$ isomorphic to $\G$. We describe an irreducible $G$-module of degree $4$ polynomials…

A generalized numerical semigroup is a submonoid $S$ of $\mathbb{N}^d$ with finite complement in it. We characterize isomorphisms between these monoids in terms of permutation of coordinates. Considering the equivalence relation that…

It is shown that a necessary condition for an abstract group G to be the full automorphism group of a Hamiltonian cycle system is that G has odd order or it is either binary, or the affine linear group AGL(1; p) with p prime. We show that…

Let G be complex linear-algebraic group, H a subgroup, which is dense in G in the Zariski-topology. Assume that G/[G,G] is reductive and furthermore that (1) G is solvable, or (2) the semisimple elements in G'=[G,G] are dense. Then every…

Let $\gamma(G)$ and $\gamma_t(G)$ denote the domination number and the total domination number, respectively, of a graph $G$ with no isolated vertices. It is well-known that $\gamma_t(G) \leq 2\gamma(G)$. We provide a characterization of a…

Let $G$ be a finite $p$-group of nilpotency class 2. We find necessary and sufficient conditions on $G$ such that each central automorphism of $G$ fixes the center of $G$ element-wise.

Let $G$ be a group. The orbits of the natural action of $\Aut(G)$ on $G$ are called "automorphism orbits" of $G$, and the number of automorphism orbits of $G$ is denoted by $\omega(G)$. Let $G$ be a virtually nilpotent group such that…

In [5], the notion of polynomial cocycles is used to give an expression for the second cohomology of T-groups with coefficients in a torsion-free nilpotent module. We make this expression concrete in the case of a T-group G of nilpotency…

We show that if $G$ is a finite group whose Sylow $2$-subgroups are wreathed, then the intersection $\Outc(G) \cap \OutCol(G)$ has odd order, where $\Outc(G)$ and $\OutCol(G)$ denote the class-preserving and Coleman outer automorphism…

A Cayley graph over a group G is said to be central if its connection set is a normal subset of G. It is proved that for any two central Cayley graphs over explicitly given almost simple groups of order n, the set of all isomorphisms from…

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $K$ and let $N = N_G(T)$ be the normalizer of a fixed maximal torus $T\leq G$. Further, let $U$ be the unipotent radical of a fixed Borel subgroup $B$ that contains $T$…

Let $G$ be a finite almost simple group with socle $G_0$. A (nontrivial) factorization of $G$ is an expression of the form $G=HK$, where the factors $H$ and $K$ are core-free subgroups. There is an extensive literature on factorizations of…

We call a reductive complex group $G$ quasi-toral if $G^0$ is a torus. Let $G$ be quasi-toral and let $V$ be a faithful $1$-modular $G$-module. Let $N$ (the shell) be the zero fiber of the canonical moment mapping $\mu\colon V\oplus…
