Let $G$ be an almost simple group. We prove that if $x \in G$ has prime order $p \ge 5$, then there exists an involution $y$ such that $<x,y>$ is not solvable. Also, if $x$ is an involution then there exist three conjugates of $x$ that…
Let $G$ be a group. \textit{The permutability graph of cyclic subgroups of $G$}, denoted by $\Gamma_c(G)$, is a graph with all the proper cyclic subgroups of $G$ as its vertices and two distinct vertices in $\Gamma_c(G)$ are adjacent if and…
We classify the bireflections (products of 2 involutions) in the commutator subgroup G an orthogonal group O(V) over a finite field GF(q) of characteristic not 2. We show that every element of G is a bireflection if it is reversible…
Let $R$ be a graded ring. We introduce a class of graded $R$-modules called Gr\"obner-coherent modules. Roughly, these are graded $R$-modules that are coherent as ungraded modules because they admit an adequate theory of Gr\"obner bases.…
Using a result of Longo and Xu, we show that the anomaly arising from a cyclic permutation orbifold of order 3 of a holomorphic conformal net $\mathcal A$ with central charge $c=8k$ depends on the "gravitational anomaly" $k\pmod 3$. In…
Using a result of Kari and Ollinger, we prove that the torsion problem for elements of the Brin-Thompson group 2V is undecidable. As a result, we show that there does not exist an algorithm to determine whether an element of the rational…
We prove that if $G$ is a finite simple group which is the unit group of a ring, then $G$ is isomorphic to either (a) a cyclic group of order 2; (b) a cyclic group of prime order $2^k -1$ for some $k$; or (c) a projective special linear…
The aim of the article is to show that there are many finite extensions of arithmetic groups which are not residually finite. Suppose $G$ is a simple algebraic group over the rational numbers satisfying both strong approximation, and the…
A finite group $G$ is called monomial if every irreducible character of $G$ is induced from a linear character of some subgroup of $G$. One of the main questions regarding monomial groups is whether or not a normal subgroup $N$ of a…
By a 2-group we mean a groupoid equipped with a weakened group structure. It is called split when it is equivalent to the semidirect product of a discrete 2-group and a one-object 2-group. By a permutation 2-group we mean the 2-group…
It was proved that for any finite set of elements of a free product of residually finite groups such that no two of them belong to conjugate cyclic subgroups and each of them do not belong to a subgroup which is conjugate a to free factor…
Let G be an isotropic reductive algebraic group over a commutative ring R. Assume that the elementary subgroup E(R) of group of points G(R) is correctly defined. Then E(R) is perfect, except for the well-known cases of a split reductive…
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 $i \in \{1,\dots,k\}$…
Let $G$ be a group. The subsets $A_1,\ldots,A_k$ of $G$ form a complete factorization of group $G$ if if they are pairwise disjoint and each element $g\in G$ is uniquely represented as $g=a_1\ldots a_k$, with $a_i\in A_i$. We prove the…
A group $G$ has cube-free order if no prime to the third power divides $|G|$. We describe an algorithm that given two cube-free groups $G$ and $H$ of known order, decides whether $G\cong H$, and, if so, constructs an isomorphism $G\to H$.…
We show that if G is an anisotropic, semisimple, absolutely almost simple, simply connected group over a field k, then two elements of G over any field extension of k are R-equivalent if and only if they are A^1-equivalent. As a…
Let K be a self-similar or self-affine set in R^d, let \mu be a self-similar or self-affine measure on it, and let G be the group of affine maps, similitudes, isometries or translations of R^d. Under various assumptions (such as separation…
We prove that a finite group is rational if and only if it has a set of permutation characters which separate conjugacy classes. It follows from this that a finite group is rational if and only if it has a representation as a permutation…
Let $\phi:G\to G$ be an automorphism of a group which is a free-product of finitely many groups each of which is freely indecomposable and two of the factors contain proper finite index characteristic subgroups. We show that $G$ has…
The third homology group of GL_n(R) is studied, where R is a `ring with many units' with center Z(R). The main theorem states that if K_1(Z(R))_Q \simeq K_1(R)_Q, (e.g. R a commutative ring or a central simple algebra), then H_3(GL_2(R), Q)…
