Let $G$ be a permutation group on a set $\Omega$, and $k$ a positive integer. The $k$-closure $G^{(k)}$ of $G$ is the largest subgroup of $\operatorname{Sym}(\Omega)$, with the same as $G$ orbits of componentwise action on $\Omega^k$. We…

Following the construction from `Degrees of growth of finitely generated groups and the theory of invariant means' we generalize the Grigorchuk's overgroup $\tilde{\mathcal{G}}$, studied in `On parabolic subgroups and Hecke algebras of some…

For a finite non cyclic group $G$, let $\gamma(G)$ be the smallest integer $k$ such that $G$ contains $k$ proper subgroups $H_1,\dots,H_k$ with the property that every element of $G$ is contained in $H_i^g$ for some $i \in \{1,\dots,k\}$…

The description of nilpotent Chernikov $p$-groups with elementary tops is reduced to the study of tuples of skew-symmetric bilinear forms over the residue field $\mathbb{F}_p$. If $p\ne2$ and the bottom of the group only consists of $2$…

For every non-nilpotent finite group $G$, there exists at least one proper subgroup $M$ such that $G$ is the setwise product of a finite number of conjugates of $M$. We define $\gamma_{\text{cp}}\left( G\right) $ to be the smallest number…

For some very wide classes $\mathfrak{D}$ and $\mathfrak{B}\subset\mathfrak{D}$ of groups, the author proves that an arbitrary (nonabelian) group $G\in \mathfrak{D}$ (respectively $G\in \mathfrak{B}$) satisfies the minimal condition for…

In this paper one construction of composition formations was introduced. This construction contains formations of quasinilpotent groups, $c$-supersoluble groups, groups defined by ranks of chief factors and some new classes of groups. A…

Let $G$ be a finite group, let $p$ be a prime and let $w$ be a group-word. We say that $G$ satisfies $P(w,p)$ if the prime $p$ divides the order of $xy$ for every $w$-value $x$ in $G$ of $p'$-order and for every non-trivial $w$-value $y$ in…

Let $G$ be a finite group and denote by $o(g)$ the order of an element $g\in G$. We say that $G$ is an $LCM$-group if $o(x^ny)$ is a divisor of the least common multiple of $o(x^n)$ and $o(y)$ for all $x, y\in G$ and $n\in\mathbb{N}$. This…

Let G be a finite group. A subgroup M of G is said to be an NR-subgroup if, whenever K is normal in M, then K^G\cap M=K, where K^G is the normal closure of K in G. Using the Classification of Finite Simple Groups, we prove that if every…

It is well known that if $G$ is a group and $H$ is a normal subgroup of $G$ of finite index $k$, then $x^k \in H$ for every $x \in G$. We examine finite groups $G$ with the property that $x^k \in H$ for every subgroup $H$ of $G$, where $k$…

In a group $G$, a weak Sierpi\'nski subset is a subset $E$ such that for some $g,h\in G$ and $a\neq b\in E$, we have $gE=E\smallsetminus \{a\}$ and $hE=E\smallsetminus \{b\}$. In this setting, we study the subgroup generated by $g$ and $h$,…

In \cite{HigherGnk}, the author has constructed natural maps from fundamental groups of topological spaces (restricted configuration spaces) to the groups $G_{n}^{k}$. In the present paper, we show that in the case of $n=k+1$, the group…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $\sigma=\{\sigma_{i}|i\in I\}$ be a partition of the set of all primes $\mathbb{P}$, that is, $\mathbb{P}=\bigcup_{i\in I}\sigma_{i}$ and $\sigma_{i}\cap \sigma_{j}=\emptyset$ for all $i\neq j$. A chief factor…

Let $S_n$ denote a symmetric group, $\chi$ an irreducible character of $S_n$, and $g\in S_n$ an element which decomposes into $k$ disjoint cycles, where $1$-cycles are included. Then $|\chi(g)|\le k!$, and this upper bound is sharp for…

Let $G$ be a finite group, and $c$ an element of $\mathbb{Z}\cup \{\infty\}$. A subgroup $H$ of $G$ is said to be {\it $c$-nilpotent} if it is nilpotent, and has nilpotency class at most $c$. A subset $X$ of $G$ is said to be {\it…

The word $w=[x_{i_1},x_{i_2},\dots,x_{i_k}]$ is a simple commutator word if $k\geq 2, i_1\neq i_2$ and $i_j\in \{1,\dots,m\}$, for some $m>1$. For a finite group $G$, we prove that if $i_{1} \neq i_j$ for every $j\neq 1$, then the verbal…

A group $G$ is said to be totally $k$-closed for a positive integer $k$ if, in each of its faithful permutation representations on a set $\Omega^k$, $G$ is the largest subgroup of the symmetric group $\operatorname{Sym}(\Omega)$ that…

Let G be a finite group and let k be a positive integer. We examine the relationship between structural properties of G and the number of elements of G that are not kth powers in G. In particular, we examine a bound on |G| given by Lucido…

Let $\mathrm{WP}_G$ denote the word problem in a finitely generated group $G$. We consider the complexity of $\mathrm{WP}_G$ with respect to standard deterministic Turing machines. Let $\mathrm{DTIME}_k(t(n))$ be the complexity class of…
