The aim of this paper is to compare and contrast the class of residually finite groups with the class of equationally Noetherian groups - groups over which every system of coefficient-free equations is equivalent to a finite subsystem. It…

In 1904, Issai Schur proved the following result. If $G$ is an arbitrary group such that $G/\Z(G)$ is finite, where $\Z(G)$ denotes the center of the group $G$, then the commutator subgroup of $G$ is finite. A partial converse of this…

A variety of three-dimensional left-covariant differential calculi on the quantum group $SU_q(2)$ is considered using an approach based on global $ U(1) $ -covariance. Explicit representations of possible $q $-Lie algebras are constructed…

A group $G$ is said to be factorized into subsets $A_1, A_2, \ldots, A_s\subseteq G$ if every element $g$ in $G$ can be uniquely represented as $g=g_1g_2\ldots g_s$, where $g_i\in A_i$, $i=1,2,\ldots,s$. We consider the following…

A result of Pyber states that every finite group $G$ contains an abelian subgroup whose order is quasi-polynomially large in $\lvert G\rvert$. We prove a similar result for $K$-approximate subgroups of solvable groups under only modest…

Given a group $G$, we say that a set $A \subseteq G$ has more sums than differences (MSTD) if $|A+A| > |A-A|$, has more differences than sums (MDTS) if $|A+A| < |A-A|$, or is sum-difference balanced if $|A+A| = |A-A|$. A problem of recent…

Let $G$ be a finite abelian group of exponent $n$ and let $A$ be a non-empty subset of $[1,n-1]$. The Davenport constant of $G$ with weight $A$, denoted by $D_A(G)$, is defined to be the least positive integer $\ell$ such that any sequence…

Let $G$ be a residually poly-$\mathbb Z$ group of finite type. We prove that $G$ admits a poly-$\mathbb Z$ quotient with kernel $N$ satisfying $\mathrm{cd}_{\mathbb Q}(N) < \mathbb{cd}_{\mathbb Q}(G)$ if and only if the top-dimensional…

For any finite abelian group $G$ and commutative unitary ring $R$, by $R[G]$ we denote the group algebra over $R$. Let $T=(g_1,\ldots,g_{\ell})$ be a sequence over the group $G$. We say $T$ is algebraically zero-sum free over R if…

We study metabelian groups $G$ given by full rank finite presentations $\langle A \mid R \rangle_{\mathcal{M}}$ in the variety $\mathcal{M}$ of metabelian groups. We prove that $G$ is a product of a free metabelian subgroup of rank…

Let G be a finite abelian group and F a field such that char(F) does not divide |G|. Denote by FG the group algebra of G over F. A (semisimple) abelian code is an ideal of FG. Two codes I and J of FG are G-equivalent if there exists an…

A finite simplicial graph \Gamma determines a right-angled Artin group G_\Gamma, with generators corresponding to the vertices of \Gamma, and with a relation vw=wv for each pair of adjacent vertices. We compute the lower central series…

We show that a differential algebraic group can be filtered by a finite subnormal series of differential algebraic groups such that successive quotients are almost simple, that is have no normal subgroups of the same type. We give a…

For a finite abelian group $G,$ the Davenport Constant, denoted by $D(G)$, is defined to be the least positive integer $k$ such that every sequence of length at least $k$ has a non-trivial zero-sum subsequence. A long-standing conjecture is…

We prove that the set of orders of finite quotients of a finitely generated group has natural density 0, 1/2 or 1, and characterise when each of these cases occurs. We apply this to show that the sets of orders of various families of…

A finite abelian group $G$ of cardinality $n$ is said to be of type III if every prime divisor of $n$ is congruent to 1 modulo 3. We obtain a classification theorem for sum-free subsets of largest possible cardinality in a finite abelian…

Given a finite abelian group $G$ and a subset $J\subset G$ with $0\in J$, let $D_{G}(J,N)$ be the maximum size of $A\subset G^{N}$ such that the difference set $A-A$ and $J^{N}$ have no non-trivial intersection. Recently, this extremal…

A set $S\subseteq V$ is \textit{independent} in a graph $G=\left( V,E\right) $ if no two vertices from $S$ are adjacent. The \textit{independence number} $\alpha(G)$ is the cardinality of a maximum independent set, while $\mu(G)$ is the…

A difference set with parameters $(v, k, \lambda)$ is a subset $D$ of cardinality $k$ in a finite group $G$ of order $v$, such that the number $\lambda$ of occurrences of $g \in G$ as the ratio $d^{-1}d'$ in distinct pairs $(d, d')\in…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple graph. A dominating set of $G$ is a subset $D\subseteq V$ such that every vertex not in $D$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $D$. The cardinality of a smallest dominating set of $G$, denoted by $\gamma(G)$, is…
