We study the representation growth of alternating and symmetric groups in positive characteristic and restricted representation growth for the finite groups of Lie type. We show that the the number of representations of dimension at most n…

The structure of finite and locally finite groups in which every element has prime power order (CP-groups) is well known. In this paper we note that the combination of our earlier results with the available information on the structure of…

Let $\Gamma_g$ denote the orientation-preserving Mapping Class Group of the genus $g\geq 1$ closed orientable surface. In this paper we show that for fixed $g$, every finite group occurs as a quotient of a finite index subgroup of…

The aim of this note is to describe the structure of finite meadows. We will show that the class of finite meadows is the closure of the class of finite fields under finite products. As a corollary, we obtain a unique representation of…

In this paper we continue our investgation of the prime graph of a finite simple group started in http://arxiv.org/abs/math/0506294 (the printed version appeared in [1]). We describe all cocliques of maximal size for all finite simple…

In this paper, we summarize the work on the characterization of finite simple groups and the study on finite groups with the set of element orders and two orders (the order of group and the set of element orders). Some related topics, and…

There are various results in the literature which are part of the general philosophy that a finite group for which a certain parameter (for example, the number of conjugacy classes or the maximum number of elements inverted, squared or…

Using the concept of algebraically closed groups, we prove that there is a countable torsion free group with exactly two conjugacy classes.

We prove an arithmetic regularity lemma for stable subsets of finite abelian groups, generalising our previous result for high-dimensional vector spaces over finite fields of prime order. A qualitative version of this generalisation was…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $Ch_i(G)$ some quantitative sets. In this paper we study the influence of $Ch_i(G)$ to the structure of $G$. We present a survey of author and his colleagues' recent works.

We show that up to commensurability there are only finitely many cocompact arithmetic Kleinian groups generated by rotations. This implies, in particular, that there exist only finitely many conjugacy classes of cocompact two generated…

We characterize the group property of being with infinite conjugacy classes (or icc, in which all conjugacy classes beside 1 are infinite) for extensions of some specific groups ; namely extensions of abelian, centerless, icc, or word…

We prove that in every finitely generated profinite group, every subgroup of finite index is open; this implies that the topology on such groups is determined by the algebraic structure. This is deduced from the main result about finite…

Recently there has been a lot of research and progress in profinite groups. We survey some of the new results and discuss open problems. A central theme is decompositions of finite groups into bounded products of subsets of various kinds…

Let $G$ be a finite non-abelian group and $\kappa_1(G)$ the number of conjugate classes of minimal non-abelian subgroups of $G$. The structure of $G$ with $\kappa_1(G)=1$ is determined. In the case of $G$ being the $p$-groups, the structure…
