We study groups having the property that every non-abelian subgroup is equal to its normalizer. This class of groups is closely related to an open problem posed by Berkovich. We give a full classification of finite groups having the above…

We prove that if the average of the degrees of the irreducible characters of a finite group $G$ is less than 16/5, then $G$ is solvable. This solves a conjecture of I.M. Isaacs, M. Loukaki, and the first author. We discuss related…

In this paper, we develop techniques to study the Hausdorff dimensions of non-conical and Myrberg limit sets for groups acting on negatively curved spaces. We establish maximality of the Hausdorff dimension of the non-conical limit set of…

For a finite group $G$, let $\text{rdim}(G)$ denote the smallest dimension of a faithful, complex linear representation of $G$. It is clear that $\text{rdim}(H)\leq \text{rdim}(G)$ for any subgroup $H$ of $G$. We consider $G$ with the…

We exhibit infinitely many natural numbers $n$ for which there exists at least one insolvable group of order $n$, and yet the holomorph of any solvable group of order $n$ has no insolvable regular subgroup. We also solve Problem 19.90 (d)…

We investigate the palindromic width of finitely generated solvable groups. We prove that every finitely generated $3$-step solvable group has finite palindromic width. More generally, we show the finiteness of palindromic width for…

In this note, we describe first the structure of minimal non-Iwasawa finite groups. Then we determine the minimal non-Iwasawa finite groups which are modular. Also, we find connections between minimal non-Iwasawa finite groups and the…

We characterize semigroups in $\{0,1,2,\ldots\}$ of matricial dimension $2$ and produce a counterexample to the conjecture that a numerical semigroup whose small elements are lonely has matricial dimension at most $2$.

For a finite group generated by involutions, the involution width is defined to be the minimal $k\in\mathbb{N}$ such that any group element can be written as a product of at most $k$ involutions. We show that the involution width of every…

Two classic results, due to K. Doerk and P. Hall respectively, establish the solvability of those finite groups all of whose maximal subgroups are supersolvable, and the solvability of finite groups in which all maximal subgroups have prime…

We study a new object that can be attached to an abelian variety or a complex torus: the invariant Brauer group, as recently defined by Yang Cao. Over the field of complex numbers this is an elementary abelian 2-group with an explicit upper…

In this paper, the main objective is to compare the abelian subalgebras and ideals of maximal dimension for finite-dimensional supersolvable Lie algebras. We characterise the maximal abelian subalgebras of solvable Lie algebras and study…

Lower bounds for the number of local nearrings on groups of order $p^3$ are obtained. On each non-metacyclic non-abelian or metacyclic abelian groups of order $p^3$ there exist at least $p+1$ non-isomorphic local nearrings

For every infinite (countable discrete) amenable group $G$ and every positive integer $d$ we construct a minimal $G$-action of mean dimension $d/2$ which cannot be embedded in the full $G$-shift on $([0,1]^d)^G$.

We determine the finite groups whose real irreducible representations have different degrees.

Answering a question of I. M. Isaacs, we show that the largest degree of irreducible complex representations of any finite non-abelian simple group can be bounded in terms of the smaller degrees. We also study the asymptotic behavior of…

In this paper we provide a $4$-GDD of type $2^2 5^5$, thereby solving the existence question for the last remaining feasible type for a $4$-GDD with no more than $30$ points. We then show that $4$-GDDs of type $2^t 5^s$ exist for all but a…

The aim of this text is to provide a clear description of the theory of Infra-nilmanifolds and their fundamental groups, the almost-Bieberbach groups. For most of the proofs of the results, we refer to the literature. Nevertheless, at…

A characterization of the finite-dimensional Leibniz algebras with an abelian subalgebra of codimension two over a field $\mathbb{F}$ of characteristic $p\neq2$ is given. In short, a finite-dimensional Leibniz algebra of dimension $n$ with…

The aim of the present paper is to obtain a classification of all the irreducible modular representations of the symmetric group on $n$ letters of dimension at most $n^3$, including dimension formulae. This is achieved by improving an idea,…
