Noether, Fleischmann and Fogarty proved that if the characteristic of the underlying field does not divide the order $|G|$ of a finite group $G$, then the polynomial invariants of $G$ are generated by polynomials of degrees at most $|G|$.…

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 $k$…

We construct spherical subgroups in infinite-dimensional classical groups $G$ (usually they are not symmetric and their finite-dimensional analogs are not spherical). We present a structure of a semigroup on double cosets $L\setminus G/L$…

The cone of a classical group $G$ is an affine $G\times G$-variety. The aim of this note is to initiate its combinatorial study in the cases when $G$ is the complex orthogonal or symplectic group. The coordinate ring of the cone of $G$ is a…

We derive a lower and an upper bound for the rank of the finite part of operator $K$-theory groups of maximal and reduced $C^*$-algebras of finitely generated groups. The lower bound is based on the amount of polynomially growing conjugacy…

Given a finitely generated relatively hyperbolic group $G$, we construct a finite generating set $X$ of $G$ such that $(G,X)$ has the `falsification by fellow traveler property' provided that the parabolic subgroups $\{H_\omega\}_{\omega\in…

Assume $G$ is a solvable group whose elementary abelian sections are all finite. Suppose, further, that $p$ is a prime such that $G$ fails to contain any subgroups isomorphic to $C_{p^\infty}$. We show that if $G$ is nilpotent, then the…

In this paper we study arithmetical and structural features of a finite group that possesses exactly two conjugacy class sizes that are composite numbers.

We show that for any Polish group $G$ and any countable normal subgroup $\Gamma\triangleleft G$, the coset equivalence relation $G/\Gamma$ is a hyperfinite Borel equivalence relation. In particular, the outer automorphism group of any…

We fix a finitely presented group $Q$ and consider short exact sequences $1\to N\to G\to Q\to 1$ with $G$ finitely generated. The inclusion $N\to G$ induces a morphism of profinite completions $\hat N\to \hat G$. We prove that this is an…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $p^k$ be a prime power dividing $|G|$. A subgroup $H$ of $G$ is called to be $\mathcal{M}$-supplemented in $G$ if there exists a subgroup $K$ of $G$ such that $G=HK$ and $H_iK<G$ for every maximal subgroup…

Let $G$ be a virtually compact special Gromov-hyperbolic group. We prove that the double $G *_H G$ along a quasiconvex subgroup $H$ is virtually compact special. More generally, we show that if a finite graph of groups has constant vertex…

Let R be a ring and G a group. An R-module A is said to be artinian-by-(finite rank) if TorR(A) is artinian and A/TorR(A) has finite R-rank. The authors study ZG-modules A such that A/CA(H) is artinian-by-(finite rank) (as a Z-module) for…

An abstract group $G$ is called totally $2$-closed if $H=H^{(2),\Omega}$ for any set $\Omega$ with $G\cong H\leq{\rm Sym}(\Omega)$, where $H^{(2),\Omega}$ is the largest subgroup of ${\rm Sym}(\Omega)$ whose orbits on $\Omega\times\Omega$…

Let $P$ be a directed set and $X$ a space. A collection $\mathcal{C}$ of subsets of $X$ is \emph{$P$-locally finite} if $\mathcal{C}=\bigcup \{ \mathcal{C}_p : p \in P\}$ where (i) if $p \le p'$ then $\mathcal{C}_p \subseteq…

Let $G$ be a residually finite group and let $A$ be a finite set. We prove that if $X \subset A^G$ is a strongly irreducible subshift of finite type containing a periodic configuration then periodic configurations are dense in $X$. The…

Let $G$ be a finite group and construct a graph $\Delta(G)$ by taking $G\setminus\{1\}$ as the vertex set of $\Delta(G)$ and by drawing an edge between two vertices $x$ and $y$ if $\langle x,y\rangle$ is cyclic. Let $K(G)$ be the set…

We prove that if $G$ is finite 2-generated $p$-group of nilpotence class at most 2 then the group algebra of $G$ with coefficients in the field with $p$ elements determines $G$ up to isomorphisms.

Let $G$ be a finite group. The group pseudo-algebra of $G$ is defined as the multi-set $C(G)=\{(d,m_G(d))\mid d\in{\rm Cod}(G)\},$ where $m_G(d)$ is the number of irreducible characters of with codegree $d\in {\rm Cod}(G)$. We show that…

Let X(F,G) be the G-character variety of F where G is a rank 1 complex affine algebraic group and F is a finitely presentable discrete group. We describe an algorithm, which we implement in Mathematica, SageMath, and in Python, that takes a…
