We produce a simple group $G$ of cardinality $\aleph_1$ which is Artinian (every strictly descending chain of subgroups is finite), satisfies a Burnside law and such that for each uncountable subset $Y \subseteq G$ there exists a natural…

A group $G$ is J\'onsson if $|H| < |G|$ whenever $H$ is a proper subgroup of $G$. Using an embedding theorem of Obraztsov it is shown that there exists a J\'onsson group $G$ of infinite cardinality $\kappa$ if and only if there exists a…

In this article, we study the property of being equationally Artinian in groups. We prove that a finite extension of an equationally Artinian group is again equationally Artinian. We also show that a quotient of an equationally Artinian…

An abelian group is said to be aleph_1-free if all its countable subgroups are free. Our main result is: If R is a ring with R^+ free and |R|<lambda <= 2^{aleph_0}, then there exists an aleph_1-free abelian group G of cardinality lambda…

Let G be a group and let k be a cardinal. A subset A of G is called left (right) k-large if there exists a subset F of G such that |F| < { and G = FA (G = AF). We say that A is k-large if A is left and right k-large. It is known that every…

Every infinite group $G$ of regular cardinality can be partitioned $G=A_1\cup A_2$ so that $G\neq FA_1$, $G\neq FA_2$ for every subset $F\subset G$ of cardinality $|F|<|G|$. The first author asked whether the same is true for each group $G$…

It is proved that, in certain subgroups of direct products of countable groups, the property of being an unconditionally closed set coincides with that of being an algebraic set. In particular, these properties coincide in all Abelian…

Strongly bounded groups are those groups for which every action by isometries on a metric space has orbits of finite diameter. Many groups have been shown to have this property, and all the known infinite examples so far have cardinality at…

We give a necessary and sufficient condition, in terms of a certain reflection principle, for every unconditionally closed subset of a group G to be algebraic. As a corollary, we prove that this is always the case when G is a direct product…

In this paper we discuss some of the key properties of sum-free subsets of abelian groups. Our discussion has been designed with a broader readership in mind, and is hence not overly technical. We consider answers to questions like: how…

We prove that Artin groups from a class containing all large-type Artin groups are systolic. This provides a concise yet precise description of their geometry. Immediate consequences are new results concerning large-type Artin groups:…

We prove that if there are $\mathfrak c$ incomparable selective ultrafilters then, for every infinite cardinal $\kappa$ such that $\kappa^\omega=\kappa$, there exists a group topology on the free Abelian group of cardinality $\kappa$…

We find algebraic conditions on a group equivalent to the position of its Diophantine problem in the Chomsky Hierarchy. In particular, we prove that a finitely generated group has a context-free Diophantine problem if and only if it is…

We say that an algebraic group $G$ over a field is anti-affine if every regular function on $G$ is constant. We obtain a classification of these groups, with applications to the structure of algebraic groups in positive characteristics, and…

We examine the existence of universal elements in classes of infinite abelian groups. The main method is using group invariants which are defined relative to club guessing sequences. We prove, for example: Theorem: For $n\ge 2$, there is a…

We partially prove a conjecture from [MkSh:366] which says that the spectrum of almost free, essentially free, non-free algebras in a variety is either empty or consists of the class of all successor cardinals.

We give a positive answer to the question of Shkarin (\emph{On universal abelian topological groups}, Mat. Sb. 190 (1999), no. 7, 127-144) whether there exists a metrically universal abelian separable group equipped with invariant metric.…

A famous conjecture attributed to Dardano-Dikranjan-Rinauro-Salce states that any uniformly fully inert subgroup of a given group is commensurable with a fully invariant subgroup (see, respectively, [5] and [6]). In this short note, we…

We find a condition on the underlying graph of an Artin group that fully determines if it is subgroup separable. As a consequence, an Artin group is subgroup separable if and only if it can be obtained from Artin groups of ranks at most 2…

We deal with the existence of universal members in a given cardinality for several classes. First we deal with classes of Abelian groups, specifically with the existence of universal members in cardinalities which are strong limit singular…
