In \cite{1}, a class of gyrogroups $(G,\odot)$ has been associated to certain groups $(G,\cdot)$. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for $(G,\odot)$ to be gyrocommutative. We also prove that under a suitable assumption two finite…

We give a solution to Dehn's isomorphism problem for the class of all hyperbolic groups, possibly with torsion. We also prove a relative version for groups with peripheral structures. As a corollary, we give a uniform solution to…

Let $G_1$ and $G_2$ be torsion groups. We prove that the monoids of product-one sequences over $G_1$ and over $G_2$ are isomorphic if and only if the groups $G_1$ and $G_2$ are isomorphic. This was known before for abelian groups.

A group $\Gamma$ is said to be periodic if for any $g$ in $\Gamma$ there is a positive integer $n$ with $g^n=id$. We first prove that a finitely generated periodic group acting on the 2-sphere $\SS^2$ by $C^1$-diffeomorphisms with a finite…

Equipped with the operation of setwise multiplication induced by a (multiplicatively written) monoid $H$ on its parts, the collection of all finite subsets of $H$ containing the identity element is itself a monoid, denoted by $\mathcal…

The twisted group ring isomorphism problem (TGRIP) is a variation of the classical group ring isomorphism problem. It asks whether the ring structure of the twisted group ring determines the group up to isomorphism. In this article, we…

In this work, we address a question posed by Dehornoy et al. in the book "Foundations of Garside Theory" that asks for a theory of groups of $\mathrm{I}_G$-type when $G$ is a Garside group. In this article, we introduce a broader notion…

The bifree double Burnside ring $B^\Delta(G,G)$ of a finite group $G$ has a natural anti-involution. We study the group $B^\Delta_\circ(G,G)$ of orthogonal units in $B^\Delta(G,G)$. It is shown that this group is always finite and contains…

We prove that the Higman-Thompson groups $G_{n,r}^+$ and $G_{m,s}^+$ are isomorphic if and only if $m=n$ and $\mbox{gcd}(n-1,r)=\mbox{gcd}(n-1,s)$.

This paper introduces two new Burnside rings for a finite group $G$, called the slice Burnside ring and the section Burnside ring. They are built as Grothendieck rings of the category of morphisms of $G$-sets, and of Galois morphisms of…

In 1968, John Thompson proved that a finite group $G$ is solvable if and only if every $2$-generator subgroup of $G$ is solvable. In this paper, we prove that solvability of a finite group $G$ is guaranteed by a seemingly weaker condition:…

The authors classify the finite index subgroups of R. Thompson's group $F$. All such groups that are not isomorphic to $F$ are non-split extensions of finite cyclic groups by $F$. The classification describes precisely which finite index…

A remarkable result of Thompson states that a finite group is soluble if and only if its two-generated subgroups are soluble. This result has been generalized in numerous ways, and it is in the core of a wide area of research in the theory…

For finite nilpotent groups $G$ and $G^{\prime}$, and a $G$-adapted ring $S$ (the rational integers, for example), it is shown that any isomorphism between the centers of the group rings $SG$ and $SG^{\prime}$ is monomial, i.e., maps class…

To the best of our knowledge, there is no explicit, constructive description of the generating set for the unit group $A(G)^\times$ of the Burnside ring associated with a finite group $G$. We resolve this long-standing open question,…

Let $R$ be a finite ring and let $M, N$ be two finite left $R$-modules. We present two distinct deterministic algorithms that decide in polynomial time whether or not $M$ and $N$ are isomorphic, and if they are, exhibit an isomorphism. As…

In 1960, Paul A. Smith asked the following question. If a finite group G acts smoothly on a sphere with exactly two fixed points, is it true that the tangent G-modules at the two points are always isomorphic? We focus on the case G is an…
