A finite group G is said to be a cut group if all central units in the integral group ring ZG are trivial. In this article, we extend the notion of cut groups, by introducing extended cut groups. We study the properties of extended cut…

We survey recent work ranging around the question in how far a group, or a property of a group, is determined by the set of finite quotient groups. Our focus lies on $S$-arithmetic groups, branch groups, and their relatives.

Two finitely generated groups have the same set of finite quotients if and only if their profinite completions are isomorphic. Consider the map which sends (the isomorphism class of) an S-arithmetic group to (the isomorphism class of) its…

Given a real, symmetric matrix S, we define the slice through S as being the connected component containing S of two orbits under conjugation: the first by the orthogonal group, and the second by the upper triangular group. We describe some…

Let $G$ be a finite group. We will say that $M$ and $S$ form a \textsl{complete splitting} (\textsl{splitting}) of $G$ if every element (nonzero element) $g$ of $G$ has a unique representation of the form $g=ms$ with $m\in M$ and $s\in S$,…

The concordance group of algebraically slice knots is the subgroup of the classical knot concordance group formed by algebraically slice knots. Results of Casson and Gordon and of Jiang showed that this group contains in infinitely…

Given a category, one may construct slices of it. That is, one builds a new category whose objects are the morphisms from the category with a fixed codomain and morphisms certain commutative triangles. If the category is a groupoid, so that…

We show that for every conjugacy class O in a connected semisimple algebraic group G over a field of characteristic good for G one can find a special transversal slice S to the set of conjugacy classes in G such that O intersects S and dim…

We show that for a suitable class of functions of finitely-many variables, the limit of integrals along slices of a high dimensional sphere is a Gaussian integral on a corresponding finite-codimension affine subspace in infinite dimensions.

We determine the structure of the finite groups with the property that every cyclic subgroup is the intersection of maximal subgroups, comparing this property with the one where all proper subgroups are intersections of maximal subgroups.

We obtain a lifting property for finite quotients of algebraic groups, and applications to the structure of these groups.

The genus spectrum of a finite group $G$ is the set of all $g\geq 2$ such that $G$ acts faithfully and orientation-preserving on a closed compact orientable surface of genus $g$. This article is an overview of some results relating the…

T.C. Burness and S.D. Scott \cite{3} classified finite groups $G$ such that the number of prime order subgroups of $G$ is greater than $|G|/2-1$. In this note, we study finite groups $G$ whose subgroup graph contains a vertex of degree…

This article investigates the properties of order-divisor graphs associated with finite groups. An order-divisor graph of a finite group is an undirected graph in which the set of vertices includes all elements of the group, and two…

Let $G$ be a finite group, $\pi(G)$ be the set of prime divisors dividing the order of $G$ and $\pi_e(G)$ (spectrum) denote the set of element orders of $G$. We define $w_o(G)$ = $|\pi(G)|$ the width of order of $G$ and $w_s(G)$ =…

An $integral$ of a group $G$ is a group $H$ whose derived group (commutator subgroup) is isomorphic to $G$. This paper discusses integrals of groups, and in particular questions about which groups have integrals and how big or small those…

We prove an accessibility theorem for finite-index splittings of groups. Given a finitely presented group G there is a number n(G) such that, for every reduced locally finite G-tree T with finitely generated stabilizers, T/G has at most…

In this paper we give an algebraic description of the category of $n$-slices for an arbitrary group $G$, in the sense of Hill-Hopkins-Ravenel. Specifically, given a finite group $G$ and an integer $n$, we construct an explicit $G$-spectrum…

As a corollary of work of Ozsvath and Szabo [math.GT/0301149], it is shown that the classical concordance group of algebraically slice knots has an infinite cyclic summand and in particular is not a divisible group.

Given an infinite group G, we consider the finitely additive measure defined on finite unions of cosets of finite index subgroups. We show that this shares many properties with the size of subsets of a finite group, for instance we can…
