We consider a very weak chain condition for a poset, that is the absence of subsets which are order isomorphic to the set of real numbers in their natural ordering; we study generalised radical groups in which this finiteness condition is…

It is shown that a gerenalised radical group has no chain of non-pronormal subgroups with the same order type as the set of the real numbers if and only if either the group is minimax or all subgroups are pronormal.

A subset $A$ of a semigroup $S$ is called a $chain$ ($antichain$) if $xy\in\{x,y\}$ ($xy\notin\{x,y\}$) for any (distinct) elements $x,y\in S$. A semigroup $S$ is called ($anti$)$chain$-$finite$ if $S$ contains no infinite (anti)chains. We…

We construct a special type of antichain (i. e., a family of subsets of a set, such that no subset is contained in another) using group-theoretical considerations, and obtain an upper bound on the cardinality of such an antichain. We apply…

We prove that the weak order on an infinite Coxeter group contains infinite antichains if and only if the group is not affine.

We consider the following two finiteness conditions on normalizers and centralizers in a group G: (i) |N_G(H):H| is finite for every non-normal subgroup H of G, and (ii) |C_G(x):<x>| is finite for every non-normal cyclic subgroup <x> of G.…

The Chermak-Delgado lattice of a finite group is a dual, modular sublattice of the subgroup lattice of the group. This paper considers groups with a quasi-antichain interval in the Chermak-Delgado lattice, ultimately proving that if there…

Let G be a group and H be a subgroup of G which is either finite or of finite index in G. In this note, we give some characterizations for normality of H in G. As a consequence we get a very short and elementary proof of the Main Theorem of…

We consider a finiteness condition on centralizers in a group G, namely that |C_G (x) : <x>| is finite for every non-normal cyclic subgroup <x> of G. For periodic groups, this is the same as |C_G (x)| is finite for every non-normal cyclic…

We investigate the maximum length of a chain of subsemigroups in various classes of semigroups, such as the full transformation semigroups, the general linear semigroups, and the semigroups of order-preserving transformations of finite…

We introduce and study the notion of a chain group of homeomorphisms of a one-manifold, which is a certain generalization of Thompson's group $F$. The resulting class of groups exhibits a combination of uniformity and diversity. On the one…

We prove that every flat chain with finite mass in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with coefficients in a normed abelian group $G$ is the restriction of a normal $G$-current to a Borel set. We deduce a characterization of real flat chains with finite mass…

An unrefinable chain of a finite group $G$ is a chain of subgroups $G = G_0 > G_1 > \cdots > G_t = 1$, where each $G_i$ is a maximal subgroup of $G_{i-1}$. The length (respectively, depth) of $G$ is the maximal (respectively, minimal)…

The subgroup generated by all solvable normal subgroups in a pseudo-finite group with the descending chain condition on centralizers up to finite index is solvable. Additionally, there is no finitely generated pseudo-finite group whose…

A structural condition is given for finite maximal antichains in the homomorphism order of relational structures to have the splitting property. It turns out that non-splitting antichains appear only at the bottom of the order. Moreover, we…

The operator, $\chi $, of weak commutativity between isomorphic groups $G$ and $G^{\varphi }$ was introduced by Sidki as \begin{equation*} \chi (G)=\left\langle G \cup G^{\varphi }\mid \lbrack g,g^{\varphi }]=1\,\forall \,g\in…

A subgroup of a group is contranormal if its normal closure coincides with the group. We call such groups without proper contranormal subgroups contranormal-free. In this paper we prove various results concerning contranormal-free groups…

If $G$ be a finite $p$-group and $\chi$ is a non-linear irreducible character of $G$, then $\chi(1)\leq |G/Z(G)|^{\frac{1}{2}}$. In \cite{fernandez2001groups}, Fern\'{a}ndez-Alcober and Moret\'{o} obtained the relation between the character…

We generalize the notion of flat chains with arbitrary coefficient groups to Banach spaces and prove a sequential compactness result. We also remove the restriction that a flat chain have finite mass in order for its support to exist.

In the theory of flat chains with coefficients in a normed abelian group, we give a simple necessary and sufficient condition on a group element $g$ in order for the following fundamental regularity principle to hold: if a mass-minimizing…
