We introduce the abstract concept of supernilpotence in loop theory, and relate it to existing concepts, namely, central nilpotence and nilpotence of the multiplication group. We prove that the class of supernilpotence is greater or equal…
A basic fact taught in undergraduate algebra courses is that every finite nilpotent group is a direct product of $p$-groups. Already Bruck observed that this does not generalize to loops. In particular, there exist nilpotent loops of size…
There is strong evidence for the belief that `almost all' finite semigroups, whether we consider multiplication operations on a fixed set or their isomorphism classes, are nilpotent of index 3 (3-nilpotent for short). The only known method…
We prove that each $3$-dimensional connected topological loop $L$ having a solvable Lie group of dimension $\le 5$ as the multiplication group of $L$ is centrally nilpotent of class $2$. Moreover, we classify the solvable non-nilpotent Lie…
The semigroup of the homotopy classes of the self-homotopy maps of a finite complex which induce the trivial homomorphism on homotopy groups is nilpotent. We determine the nilpotency of these semigroups of compact Lie groups and finite Hopf…
For most (and possibly all) non-associative finite simple Moufang loops, three generators of order 3 can be chosen so that each two of them generate a group isomorphic to $(3, 3 | 3, p)$. The subgroup structure of $(3, 3 | 3, p)$ depends on…
A semigroup is \emph{nilpotent} of degree 3 if it has a zero, every product of 3 elements equals the zero, and some product of 2 elements is non-zero. It is part of the folklore of semigroup theory that almost all finite semigroups are…
The structure of a group which is not nilpotent but all of whose proper subgroups are nilpotent has interested the researches of several authors both in the finite case and in the infinite case. The present paper generalizes some classic…
Based on the recent development of commutator theory for loops, we provide both syntactic and semantic characterization of abelian normal subloops. We highlight the analogies between well known central extensions and central nilpotence on…
This paper proves that the variety generated by a centrally nilpotent Moufang loop (or centrally nilpotent A-loop) is finitely based.
A loop is automorphic if its inner mappings are automorphisms. Using so-called associated operations, we show that every commutative automorphic loop of odd prime power order is centrally nilpotent. Starting with anisotropic planes in the…
We develop a structure theory for nilpotent symplectic alternating algebras. We then give a classification of all nilpotent symplectic alternating algebras of dimension up to 10 over any field. The study reveals a new subclasses of powerful…
This paper studies effective separability for subgroups of finitely generated nilpotent groups and more broadly effective subgroup separability of finitely generated nilpotent groups. We provide upper and lower bounds that are polynomial…
We describe the structure of ``K-approximate subgroups'' of torsion-free nilpotent groups, paying particular attention to Lie groups. Three other works, by Fisher-Katz-Peng, Sanders and Tao, have appeared which independently address related…
We construct uncountably categorical 3-nilpotent groups of exponent p > 3. They are not one-based and do not allow the interpretation of an infinite field. Therefore they are counterexamples to Zilbers Conjecture. First 2-nilpotent new…
Coclass theory has been a highly successful approach towards the investigation and classification of finite nilpotent groups. Here we suggest a similar approach for finite nilpotent semigroups. This differs from the group theory setting in…
In this note we establish several basic properties of nilpotent Sabinin algebras. Namely, we show that nilpotent Sabinin algebras (1) can be integrated to produce nilpotent loops, (2) satisfy an analogue of the Ado theorem, (3) have…
We study groups, all maximal nilpotent subgroups of class at most $k$ in which are malnormal. We show that such groups share many similar properties with the ordinary CSA groups. Similarly, we introduce the class of {\em nilpotency…
In this paper, we establish the theory of nilpotent hypergroups and study some properties of nilpotent hypergroups and provided some structural characterizations of nilpotent hypergroups.
In this paper we study the nilpotency of certain groups of self homotopy equivalences. Our main goal is to extend, to localized homotopy groups and/or homotopy groups with coefficients, the general principle of Dror and Zabrodsky by which a…
