Let $n>0$ be an integer and $\mathcal{X}$ be a class of groups. We say that a group $G$ satisfies the condition $(\mathcal{X},n)$ whenever in every subset with $n+1$ elements of $G$ there exist distinct elements $x,y$ such that $<x,y>$ is…

Let $G$ be a finite group of order $n$, and $Z_G=\mathbb{Z}\langle\zeta_{i,g}\mid g\in G,\ i=1,2,\dots,n\rangle$ be the free generic algebra, with canonical action of $G$ according to $(\zeta_{i,g})^x=\zeta_{i,x^{-1}g}$. It is proved that…

Let $q$ be a prime and $A$ an elementary abelian $q$-group acting as a coprime group of automorphisms on a profinite group $G$. We show that if $A$ is of order $q^2$ and some power of each element in $C_G(a)$ is Engel in $G$ for any $a\in…

Let $G$ be a finite group with the property that if $a,b$ are powers of $\delta_1^*$-commutators such that $(|a|,|b|)=1$, then $|ab|=|a||b|$. We show that $\gamma_{\infty}(G)$ is nilpotent.

Let $G$ be a Polish group and let $H \leq G$ be a compact subgroup. We prove that there exists a Borel set $T \subset G$ which is simultaneously a complete set of coset representatives of left and right cosets, provided that a certain index…

An algebra $A$ is said to be directly finite if each left invertible element in the (conditional) unitization of $A$ is right invertible. We show that the reduced group ${\rm C}^\ast$-algebra of a unimodular group is directly finite,…

Let N be a normal subgroup of a finite group G. We prove that under certain (unavoidable) conditions the subgroup [N,G] is a product of commutators [N,y] (with prescribed values of y from a given set Y) of length bounded by a function of…

Engel subalgebras of finite-dimensional Leibniz algebras are shown to have similar properties to those of Lie algebras. Using these, it is shown that a left Leibniz algebra, all of whose maximal subalgebras are right ideals, is nilpotent. A…

We introduce a new class of locally compact groups, namely the strongly compactly covered groups, which are the Hausdorff topological groups $G$ such that every element of $G$ is contained in a compact open normal subgroup of $G$. For…

We study algebraic properties on a group G such that if the discrete group G has these properties then every locally compact shift continuous topology on G with adjoined zero is either compact, or discrete. We introduce electorally flexible…

Given an arbitrary group $G$ we construct a semigroup of idempotents (band) $B_G$ with the property that the free idempotent generated semigroup over $B_G$ has a maximal subgroup isomorphic to $G$. If $G$ is finitely presented then $B_G$ is…

Let $K$ be a subgroup of a finite group $G$. The probability that an element of $G$ commutes with an element of $K$ is denoted by $Pr(K,G)$. Assume that $Pr(K,G)\geq\epsilon$ for some fixed $\epsilon>0$. We show that there is a normal…

Let $G$ be a finite group. We show that the order of the subgroup generated by coprime $\gamma_k$-commutators (respectively $\delta_k$-commutators) is bounded in terms of the size of the set of coprime $\gamma_k$-commutators (respectively…

For a family of group words $w$ we show that if $G$ is a profinite group in which all $w$-values are contained in a union of finitely many subgroups with a prescribed property, then $w(G)$ has the same property as well. In particular, we…

Let G be a locally compact Hausdorff group in which every element is of finite order, and let P(G) denote the class of all regular probability measures on G. In this note, it is observed that a characterization of algebraically regular…

We deal with the following conjecture. If w is a group word and G is a finite group in which any nilpotent subgroup generated by w-values has exponent dividing e, then the exponent of the verbal subgroup w(G) is bounded in terms of e and w…

The Engel graph of a finite group $G$ is a directed graph encoding the pairs of elements in $G$ satisfying some Engel word. Recent work of Lucchini and the third author shows that, except for a few well-understood cases, the Engel graphs of…

Let $G= \exp(\g)$ be a connected, simply connected nilpotent Lie group. We show that for every $G$-invariant smooth sub-manifold $M$ of $g^*$, there exists an open relatively compact subset $\mathcal{M}$ of $M$ such that for any smooth…

A gyrogroup is a nonassociative group-like structure modelled on the space of relativistically admissible velocities with a binary operation given by Einstein's velocity addition law. In this article, we present a few of groups sitting…

Following J.S. Rose, a subgroup H of a group G is said contranormal in G if G = H^G . In a certain sense, contranormal subgroups are antipodes to subnormal subgroups. It is well known that a finite group is nilpotent if and only if it has…
