For a prime $p$ and an arbitrary finite group $G$, we show that if $p^{2}$ does not divide the size of each conjugacy class of \emph{$p$-regular} element (element of order not divisible by $p$) in $G$, then the largest power of $p$ dividing…

This article is partly a survey and partly a research paper. It tackles the use of Groebner bases for addressing problems of numerical semigroups, which is a topic that has been around for some years, but it does it in a systematic way…

We investigate bounds on the dimension of cohomology groups for finite groups acting on an irreducible kG-module for G a finite group of bound sectional p-rank and k an algebraically closed field of characteristic p.

This paper introduces and studies the higher-order group inverse in a ring. We extend known properties of the higher-order group inverse from complex matrices to elements of a ring and, in the process, derive new results. We further…

We report on recent progress concerning the relationship that exists between the algebraic structure of a finite group and certain features of its class-size prime graph.

Inner relations are derived between partial augmentations of certain elements (units or idempotents) in group rings.

We survey some recent advances in the homotopy theory of classifying spaces, and homotopical group theory. We focus on the classification of p-compact groups in terms of root data over the p-adic integers, and discuss some of its…

Let $p$ be a prime. In this paper we classify the $p$-structure of those finite $p$-separable groups such that, given any three non-central conjugacy classes of $p$-regular elements, two of them necessarily have coprime lengths.

We classify, up to isomorphism, the $\mathbb{Z}_pG$-modules of rank $1$ (i.e., the quotients of $\mathbb{Z}_pG$) for $G$ cyclic of order $p$, where $\mathbb{Z}_p$ is the ring of $p$-adic integers. This allows us in particular to determine…

Let {A} be a system of operators. With any element x we associate the set of elements {Ax}. We study conditions under which there exists an element x such that the sum of p-th powers of norms of the elements {Ax} is equal to infinity.

Broadly speaking, a finiteness property of groups is any generalisation of the property of having finite order. A large part of infinite group theory is concerned with finiteness properties and the relationships between them. Profinite…

We show that the classifying space of a $p$-local compact group is approximated by a telescope of classifying spaces of $p$-local finite groups. This result has numerous implications, like a Stable Elements Theorem for $p$-local compact…

The first author has recently shown that semisimple algebraic groups are classified up to motivic equivalence by the local versions of the classical Tits indexes over field extensions, known as Tits p-indexes. We provide in this article the…

We give a general exposition of model theoretic connected components of groups. We show that if a group G has NIP, then there exists the smallest invariant (over some small set) subgroup of G with bounded index (Theorem 5.3). This result…

We investigate some properties of the $p$-elements of a profinite group $G$. We prove that if $p$ is odd and the probability that a randomly chosen element of $G$ is a $p$-element is positive, then $G$ contains an open prosolvable subgroup.…

Let $G$ be a finite group having a normal $p$-subgroup $N$ that contains its centralizer $\text{C}_{G}(N)$, and let $R$ be a $p$-adic ring. It is shown that any finite $p$-group of units of augmentation one in $RG$ which normalizes $N$ is…

We define the rank of elements of general unital rings, discuss its properties and give several examples to support the definition. In semiprime rings we give a characterization of rank in terms of invertible elements. As an application we…

Let $\mathcal{G}$ be a finite group scheme over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic ${\rm char}(k)=p\geq 3$. In generalization of the familiar notion from the modular representation theory of finite groups, we define the…

We investigate the occurrence of elements of order $p$ in the upper central series of a finite $p$-group.

In this paper we classify all capable finite $p$-groups with derived subgroup of order $p$ and $G/G'$ of rank $n-1$.
