In [3] is was shown that for any group $G$ whose rank (i.e., minimal number of generators) is at most 3, and any finite index subgroup $H\leq G$ with index $[G:H]\geq rank(G)$, one can always find a left-right transversal of $H$ which…

A Poisson geometry arising from maximal commutative subalgebras is studied. A spectral sequence convergent to Hochschild homology with coefficients in a bimodule is presented. It depends on the choice of a maximal commutative subalgebra…

Given a prime power $p^d$ with $p$ a prime and $d$ a positive integer, we classify the finite groups $G$ with $p^{2d}$ dividing $|G|$ in which all subgroups of order $p^d$ are complemented and the finite groups $G$ having a normal…

We prove that if G is a sufficiently large finite almost simple group of Lie type, then given a fixed nontrivial element x in G and a coset of G modulo its socle, the probability that x and a random element of the coset generate a subgroup…

We give here the exact maximal subgroup growth of two classes of polycyclic groups. Let $G_k = \langle x_1, x_2, ..., x_k \mid x_ix_jx_i^{-1}x_j \text{ for all } i < j \rangle$. So $G_k = \mathbb{Z} \rtimes (\mathbb{Z} \rtimes (\mathbb{Z}…

A p-group is called powerful if every commutator is a product of pth powers when p is odd and a product of fourth powers when p=2. In the group algebra of a group G of p-power order over a finite field of characteristic p, the group of…

Recall that a $p$-group of order $p^ {n} >p^ {3} $ is of maximal class, if its nilpotency class is $n-1$. In this paper, we study the $p$-groups of maximal class. Furthermore, we introduce a subgroup of a $p$-group of maximal class called…

Let $A$ and $G$ be finite groups such that $A$ acts coprimely on $G$ by automorphisms. For any fixed prime divisor $p$ of $|G|$, we provide a complete characterization of the structure of a group $G$ in which every maximal $A$-invariant…

The aim of this thesis is to determine classes of NP relations for which random generation and approximate counting problems admit an efficient solution. Since efficient rank implies efficient random generation, we first investigate some…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $A$ be a subgroup of $G$. Then $A$ is called a $p$-$CAP$-subgroup of $G$, if $A$ covers or avoids every $pd$-chief factor of $G$. A subgroup $H$ of $G$ is said to be an $ICPC$-subgroup of $G$, if $H \cap [H,G]…

We restrict the possibilities for the character degrees of $p$-groups $G$ satisfying $|G:G'| = p^2$. E.g. if $G$ is of maximal class and has an irreducible character of degree $> p$, then it has such a character of degree at most…

A finite p-group is said to be of Gorenstein-Kulkarni type if the set of all elements of non-maximal order is a maximal subgroup. 2-groups of Gorenstein-Kulkarni type arise naturally in the study of group actions on compact Riemann…

This paper investigates the maximal subgroups of a free projection-generated regular $*$-semigroup $PG(P)$ over a projection algebra $P$, and their relationship to the maximal subgroups of the free idempotent-generated semigroup $IG(E)$…

Let $G$ be a special $p$-group. If $G$ is of rank two, or $G$ is of maximum rank with $|G^p|\leq p$, then we describe the complex irreducible projective representations of $G$.

Let $w=w(x_1,...,x_n)$ be a word, i.e. an element of the free group $F = \langle x_1,...,x_n \rangle$. The verbal subgroup $w(G)$ of a group $G$ is the subgroup generated by the set $\{ w(x_1,...,x_n) : x_1,...,x_n \in G \}$ of all…

A subgroup $H$ of a group $G$ is called $\mathbb P$-subnormal in $G$ whenever either $H=G$ or there is a chain of subgroups $H=H_0\subset H_1\subset ... \subset H_n=G$ such that $|H_i:H_{i-1}|$ is a prime for all $i$. In this paper, we…

Let $G$ be a group. An automorphism of $G$ is called intense if it sends each subgroup of $G$ to a conjugate; the collection of such automorphisms is denoted by $\mathrm{Int}(G)$. In the special case in which $p$ is a prime number and $G$…

A maximal abelian normal subgroup A in a nilpotent group N is self-centralizing. This makes their role an important one in determining the structure of the nilpotent group. For example if A is finite then N is also finite. In the free…
