This is a survey, intended both for group theorists and model theorists, concerning the structure of pseudofinite groups, that is, infinite models of the first order theory of finite groups. The focus is on concepts from stability theory…

A graph is split if there is a partition of its vertex set into a clique and an independent set. The present paper is devoted to the splitness of some graphs related to finite simple groups, namely, prime graphs and solvable graphs, and…

The problem of phase retrieval is a difficult one which remains far from solved. Two homometric sets are always connected by way of a convolution product by some spectral unit, though not necessarily in a unique way. Here we elucidate one…

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 paper determines the group of continuous invariants corresponding to an inner function $ \Theta $ with finitely many singularities on the unit circle $T$; that is, the continuous mappings $g: T \to T$ such that $\Theta \circ g = \Theta…

Let R be a finite unitary ring whose group of units is not solvable but all groups of units of all its proper subrings are solvable. In this paper we classify these rings and show that all finite rings of order $p^n$ for $n < 5$ and some of…

The main purpose of this paper is to introduce the structure of soft group category. In this category, we determine some special objects and morphisms having a universal structure such as the final object and product. Therefore, the…

Let $\Gamma_g$ denote the orientation-preserving Mapping Class Group of the genus $g\geq 1$ closed orientable surface. In this paper we show that for fixed $g$, every finite group occurs as a quotient of a finite index subgroup of…

We define a class of finite groups based on the properties of the closed twins of their power graphs and study the structure of those groups. As a byproduct, we obtain results about finite groups admitting a partition by cyclic subgroups.

We establish several finiteness properties of groups defined by algebraic difference equations. One of our main results is that a subgroup of the general linear group defined by possibly infinitely many algebraic difference equations in the…

We introduce the category of finite strings and study its basic properties. The category is closely related to the augmented simplex category, and it models categories of linear representations. Each lattice of non-crossing partitions…

Computer based techniques for recognizing finitely presented groups are quite powerful. Tools available for this purpose are outlined. They are available both in stand-alone programs and in more comprehensive systems. A general…

A derived version of Maschke's theorem for finite groups is proved: the derived categories, bounded or unbounded, of all blocks of the group algebra of a finite group are simple, in the sense that they admit no nontrivial recollements. This…

We present a new algorithm to decide finiteness of matrix groups defined over a field of positive characteristic. Together with previous work for groups in zero characteristic, this provides the first complete solution of the finiteness…

A supercharacter theory for a finite group $G$ is a set of superclasses each of which is a union of conjugacy classes together with a set of sums of irreducible characters called supercharacters that together satisfy certain compatibility…

We call a group $G$ {\it algorithmically finite} if no algorithm can produce an infinite set of pairwise distinct elements of $G$. We construct examples of recursively presented infinite algorithmically finite groups and study their…

We define a graph structure associated in a natural way to finite fields that nevertheless distinguishes between different models of isomorphic fields.

In the paper, a simple condition guaranteing the finiteness property for a bounded set of matrices is presented. Given a bounded set S of real or complex matrices, it is shown that existence of a sequence of matrix products such that the…

In this paper we prove that any finite group of order $n$ can be viewed as the group of the solutions of a certain matrix equation $XB=BY$, where the unknowns $X,Y$ are two permutation matrices of order $n$ and $(1+k)n+2 $ respectively and…

We determine all finite subgroups of simple algebraic groups that have irreducible centralizers - that is, centralizers whose connected component does not lie in a parabolic subgroup.
