In this paper we explore the structure and properties of C-groups. We define a C-group as a group $G$ with $rk(G) < rk(Z(G))$ (where $rk(G)$ is the minimal cardinal of a generating set for a group $G$). Using GAP (a group theory program)…

Cappell's unitary nilpotent groups UNil(R;R,R) are calculated for the integral group ring R=Z[C_2] of the cyclic group C_2 of order two. Specifically, they are determined as modules over the Verschiebung algebra V using the…

For a $p$-group of order $p^n$, it is known that the order of $2$-nilpotent multiplier is equal to $|\mathcal{M}^{(2)}(G)|=p^{\f12n(n-1)(n-2)+3-s_2(G)}$ for an integer $s_2(G)$. In this article, we characterize all of non abelian $p$-groups…

A finite group is said to have "perfect order classes" if the number of elements of any given order is either zero or a divisor of the order of the group. The purpose of this note is to describe explicitly the finite Hamiltonian groups with…

Dunkl operators associated with finite reflection groups generate a commutative algebra of differential-difference operators. There exists a unique linear operator called intertwining operator which intertwines between this algebra and the…

We study groups having the property that every non-cyclic subgroup contains its centralizer. The structure of nilpotent and supersolvable groups in this class is described. We also classify finite $p$-groups and finite simple groups with…

Let $p$ be a an odd prime and let $G$ be a finite $p$-group with cyclic commutator subgroup $G'$. We prove that the exponent and the abelianization of the centralizer of $G'$ in $G$ are determined by the group algebra of $G$ over any field…

We study the torsion free generalized crystallographic groups with the indecomposable holonomy group which is isomorphic to either a cyclic group of order ${p^s}$ or a direct product of two cyclic groups of order ${p}$.

The algebra of octonions is non-associative (as well as non-commutative). This makes it very difficult to derive algebraic results, and to perform computation with octonions. Given a product of more than two octonions, in general, the order…

Generalising a previous result, we determine all non-abelian finite simple groups whose order has largest prime divisor not exceeding $10^4$. The computer code for this and similar calculations is made available.

Let $p$ be a prime integer and $n,i$ be positive integers such that \linebreak $S=\{-1, \ \theta, \ \mu_i=1+\theta+... + \theta^{i-1} \ \mid 1 < i < \frac{p^n}{2}, \ gcd(p^n,i)=1 \}$ generates the group of units of $\mathbb{Z}[\theta],$…

The main objective of this paper is the following two results. (1) There exists a computable bi-orderable group that does not have a computable bi-ordering; (2) There exists a bi-orderable, two-generated recursively presented solvable group…

This document is rather a course about groups than a research paper. However, it can be of interest for many master students in mathematics which are devoted to the p-group classification theory. This paper is inspirated of the course of…

The compact exceptional Lie groups F4, E6, E7 and E8 have spinor groups as a subgroup as follows: E8 \supset Ss(16) \supset Spin(15) \supset Spin(14) \supset Spin(13), E7 \supset Spin(12) \supset Spin(11), E6 \supset Spin(10), F4 \supset…

A subset $B$ of a group $G$ is called a difference basis of $G$ if each element $g\in G$ can be written as the difference $g=ab^{-1}$ of some elements $a,b\in B$. The smallest cardinality $|B|$ of a difference basis $B\subset G$ is called…

The number of subgroups and the number of cyclic subgroups are natural combinatorial invariants of a finite group. We investigate how restrictions on these quantities, together with the number of distinct prime divisors of $|G|$, enforce…

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.

Let $p$ be a prime and $a$ a quadratic non-residue $\bmod p$. Then the set of integral solutions of the diophantine equation $x_0^2 - ax_1^2 -px_2^2 + apx_3^2=1$ form a cocompact discrete subgroup $\Gamma_{p,a}\subset SL(2,\mathbb{R})$ and…

We prove that a Siegel cusp form of degree 2 for the full modular group is determined by its set of Fourier coefficients a(S) with 4 det(S) ranging over odd squarefree integers. As a key step to our result, we also prove that a classical…

A Cayley digraph on a group $G$ is called NNN if the Cayley digraph is normal and its automorphism group contains a non-normal regular subgroup isomorphic to $G$. A group is called NNND-group or NNN-group if there is an NNN Cayley digraph…
