For a group G and an element a in G let |a|_k denote the cardinality of the set of commutators [a,x_1,...,x_k], where x_1,...,x_k range over G. The main result of the paper states that a group G is finite-by-nilpotent if and only if there…

We investigate some situation in which automorphisms of a group G are uniquely determined by their restrictions to a proper subgroup H. Much of the paper is devoted to studying under which additional hypotheses this property forces G to be…

A group is small if it has countably many complete $n$-types over the empty set for each natural number n. More generally, a group $G$ is weakly small if it has countably many complete 1-types over every finite subset of G. We show here…

An automorphism of a group is said to be normal if it preserves each normal subgroup. In this paper, we determine the normal automorphisms of a free metabelian nilpotent group.

Let $G$ be a finite group, and $c$ an element of $\mathbb{Z}\cup \{\infty\}$. A subgroup $H$ of $G$ is said to be {\it $c$-nilpotent} if it is nilpotent, and has nilpotency class at most $c$. A subset $X$ of $G$ is said to be {\it…

Supersolubility of a finite group $G=\langle A,B\rangle$ with the nilpotent derived subgroup $G^\prime$ is established under the condition that the subgroups $A$ and $B$ are both subnormal and supersoluble.

We study random nilpotent groups in the well-established style of random groups, by choosing relators uniformly among freely reduced words of (nearly) equal length and letting the length tend to infinity. Whereas random groups are quotients…

Given a finite group $G$, we denote by $\nu(G)$ the probability that two randomly chosen elements of $G$ generate a nilpotent subgroup. We prove that if $\nu(G)>1/12,$ then $G$ is solvable.

The note contains a few results related to separation axioms and automatic continuity of operations in compact-like semitopological groups. In particular, is presented a semiregular semitopological group $G$ which is not $T_3$. We show that…

A finitely generated subgroup {\Gamma} of a real Lie group G is said to be Diophantine if there is \beta > 0 such that non-trivial elements in the word ball B_\Gamma(n) centered at the identity never approach the identity of G closer than…

We consider groups $G$ such that the set $[G,\varphi]=\{g^{-1}g^{\varphi}|g\in G\}$ is a subgroup for every automorphism $\varphi$ of $G$, and we prove that there exists such a group $G$ that is finite and nilpotent of class $n$ for every…

Let $F$ be a local complete field with discrete valuation, and let $G$ be a quasi-split group over $F$ which splits over some unramified extension of $F$. Let $P$ be a parahoric subgroup of the group $G(F)$ of $F$-points of $G$; t he open…

If G and H are finitely generated, residually nilpotent metabelian groups, H is termed para-G if there is a homomorphism of G into H which induces an isomorphism between the corresponding terms of their lower central quotient groups. We…

Finite hamiltonian groups are counted. The sequence of numbers of all groups of order $n$ all whose subgroups are normal and the sequence of numbers of all groups of order less or equal to $n$ all whose subgroups are normal are presented.

This paper deals with the classification of groups $G$ such that power graphs and proper power graphs of $G$ are line graphs. In fact, we classify all finite nilpotent groups whose power graphs are line graphs. Also, we categorize all…

A finitely generated group G is termed parafree if it is residually nilpotent and it has the same isomorphism types of nilpotent quotients as some free group. The two main results of this MSc. Thesis characterise the parafreeness of two…

Let $\mathfrak F$ be a class of groups. A group $G$ is called $ca$-$\mathfrak F$-group if its every non-abelian chief factor is simple and $H/K \leftthreetimes C_G(H/K) \in \mathfrak F$ for every abelian chief factor $H/K$ of $G$. In this…

Let $G$ be a group. The orbits of the natural action of $\Aut(G)$ on $G$ are called "automorphism orbits" of $G$, and the number of automorphism orbits of $G$ is denoted by $\omega(G)$. Let $G$ be a virtually nilpotent group such that…

A finite group $G$ is called a Schur group if every $S$-ring over $G$ is schurian, i.e. associated in a natural way with a subgroup of $\sym(G)$ that contains all right translations. We prove that every nonabelian nilpotent Schur group…

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $(P_i)_{i=1}^n$ be Sylow subgroups for distinct primes $p_1,\ldots,p_n$. We conjecture that there exists $x \in G$ such that $P_i \cap P_i^x$ is inclusion-minimal in $\{ P_i \cap P_i^g : g \in G\}$ for all…
