1. For many regular cardinals lambda (in particular, for all successors of singular strong limit cardinals, and for all successors of singular omega-limits), for all n in {2,3,4, ...} : There is a linear order L such that L^n has no…

Let G be a finite group with identity e and H \neq \{e\} be a subgroup of G. The generalized non-coprime graph GAmma_{G,H} of G with respect to H is the simple undirected graph with G - \{e \}\) as the vertex set and two distinct vertices a…

Let $G$ be a group and let $V$ be an algebraic group over an algebraically closed field. We introduce algebraic group subshifts $\Sigma \subset V^G$ which generalize both the class of algebraic sofic subshifts of $V^G$ and the class of…

A group is called metahamiltonian if all non-abelian subgroups of it are normal. This concept is a natural generalization of Hamiltonian groups. In this paper, the properties of finite metahamiltonian $p$-groups are investigated.

Let $\sigma=\{\sigma_j\,:\, j\in J\}$ be a partition of the set $\mathbb{P}$ of all prime numbers. A subgroup $X$ of a finite group $G$ is~\textit{$\sigma$-subnormal} in $G$ if there exists a chain of subgroups $$X=X_0\leq X_1\leq\ldots\leq…

Artin groups of finite type are not as well understood as braid groups. This is due to the additional geometric properties of braid groups coming from their close connection to mapping class groups. For each Artin group of finite type, we…

We characterize the group property of being with infinite conjugacy classes (or icc, i.e. infinite and of which all conjugacy classes except {1} are infinite) for groups which are defined by an extension of groups. We give characterizations…

We first obtain finiteness properties for the collection of closed normal subgroups of a compactly generated locally compact group. Via these properties, every compactly generated locally compact group admits an essentially chief series -…

We expound a concise construction of finite groups and groupoids whose Cayley graphs satisfy graded acyclicity requirements. Our acyclicity criteria concern cyclic patterns formed by coset-like configurations w.r.t. subsets of the generator…

Diaconis and Isaacs define a supercharacter theory for algebra groups over a finite field by constructing certain unions of conjugacy classes called superclasses and certain reducible characters called supercharacters. This work…

We study Frattini subgroups of various generalizations of hyperbolic groups. For any countable group $G$ admitting a general type action on a hyperbolic space $S$, we show that the induced action of the Frattini subgroup $\Phi(G)$ on $S$…

In this paper, we investigate several types of low complexity of finite partitions, including precompactness, zero maximal pattern entropy, bounded mean complexity and mean equicontinuity. We first show that a collection of finite…

We give three necessary and sufficient conditions for a pro-p group to be p-adic analytic. We show that a noetherian pro-p group having finite chain length has a finite rank and conversely. We further deduce that a noetherian pro-p group…

We study \emph{property RD} in terms of rapid decay of matrix coefficients. We give new formulations of property RD in terms of a $L^{1}$-integra\-bility condition of a Banach representation. Combining this new definition with the existence…

Fix a set of primes $\pi$. A finite group is said to satisfy $C_\pi$ or, in other words, to be a $C_\pi$-group, if it possesses exactly one class of conjugate $\pi$-Hall subgroups. The pronormality of $\pi$-Hall subgroups in $C_\pi$-groups…

We obtain some general restrictions on the continuous endomorphisms of a profinite group G under the assumption that G has only finitely many open subgroups of each index (an assumption which automatically holds, for instance, if G is…

Let $\mathcal E_n$ be the variety of all epigroups of index $\le n$. We prove that, for an arbitrary natural number $n$, the interval $[\mathcal E_n, \mathcal E_{n+1}]$ of the lattice of epigroup varieties contains a chain isomorphic to the…

The normal covering number $\gamma(G)$ of a finite, non-cyclic group $G$ is the minimum number of proper subgroups such that each element of $G$ lies in some conjugate of one of these subgroups. We find lower bounds linear in $n$ for…

Groups definable in simple theories retain the chain conditions and decomposition properties known from stable groups, up to commensurability. In the small case, if a generic type of G is not foreign to some type q, there is a q-internal…

We consider Markov chains that obey the following general non-linear state space model: $\Phi_{k+1} = F(\Phi_k, \alpha(\Phi_k, U_{k+1}))$ where the function $F$ is $C^1$ while $\alpha$ is typically discontinuous and $\{U_k: k \in…
