In the paper the foundation of the $k$-orbit theory is developed. The theory opens a new simple way to the investigation of groups and multidimensional symmetries. The relations between combinatorial symmetry properties of a $k$-orbit and…

We consider the class of all commutative reduced rings for which there exists a finite subset T of A such that all projections on quotients by prime ideals of A are surjective when restricted to T. A complete structure theorem is given for…

This note studies the Burnside problem for homeomorphism groups of compact connected manifolds. For surfaces, we prove that the identity component of the homeomorphism group is torsion-free precisely when the surface is not the sphere,…

In this paper, we extend the classical theory of crossed $G$-sets and the crossed Burnside ring from a finite group $G$ to a finite groupoid $\mathcal{G}$. We introduce a natural monoidal structure on the category of crossed…

A finite group $G$ is called a Schur group if every Schur ring over $G$ is schurian, i.e. associated in a natural way with a subgroup of the symmetric group $Sym(G)$ that contains all right translations of $G$. The list of all possible…

The paper contains a proof of the conjecture of M. Klin and D. Maru$\breve{\rm s}$i$\breve{\rm c}$ that an automorphism group of a transitive graph contains a permutation, decomposed in cycles of the same length. The proof is based on the…

Using Frobenius normal forms of matrices over finite fields as well as the Burnside Basis Theorem, we give a direct proof of Horo\v{s}evski\u{i}'s result that every automorphism $\alpha$ of a finite nilpotent group has a cycle whose length…

A group $G$ is said to be periodic if for any $g\in G$ there exists a positive integer $n$ with $g^n=id$. We prove that a finitely generated periodic group of homeomorphisms on the 2-torus that preserves a measure $\mu$ is finite. Moreover…

We present a characterization of finite permutation groups which contain a transitive dihedral subgroup.

A group G is sharply 2-transitive if it admits a faithful permutation representation that is transitive and free on pairs of distinct points. Conjecturally, for all such groups there exists a near-field N (i.e. a skew field that is…

We derive a family of prime ideals of the Burnside Tambara functor for a finite group $G$. In the case of cyclic groups, this family comprises the entire prime spectrum. We include some partial results towards the same result for a larger…

We introduce a notion of {\em cyclic Schur-positivity} for sets of permutations, which naturally extends the classical notion of Schur-positivity, and it involves the existence of a bijection from permutations to standard Young tableaux…

Let $G$ be a transitive permutation group on a finite set of size at least $2$. By a well known theorem of Fein, Kantor and Schacher, $G$ contains a derangement of prime power order. In this paper, we study the finite primitive permutation…

It is shown that in the units of augmentation one of an integral group ring $\mathbb{Z} G$ of a finite group $G$, a noncyclic subgroup of order $p^{2}$, for some odd prime $p$, exists only if such a subgroup exists in $G$. The corresponding…

We classify the finite primitive groups containing a permutation with at most four cycles (including fixed points) in its disjoint cycle representation.

The aim of this article is to obtain variations on the classical theorems of Schur and Baer on finiteness of commutator subgroups, valid in the contexts of Lie algebras and Leibniz algebras over a field. Using non-abelian tensor products…

Let $N$ be a normal subgroup of a finite group $G$. For a faithful $N$-set $\Delta$, applying the university embedding theorem one can construct a faithful $G$-set $\Omega$. In this short note, it is proved that if the $2$-closure of $N$ in…

It is known that a group shift on a polycyclic group is necessarily of finite type. We show that, for trivial reasons, if a group does not satisfy the maximal condition on subgroups, then it admits non-SFT abelian group shifts. In…

We define a Schur-Clifford subgroup of Turull's Brauer-Clifford group, similar to the Schur subgroup of the Brauer group. The Schur-Clifford subgroup contains exactly the equivalence classes coming from the intended application to Clifford…

Let $H$ be a subgroup of a group $G$. The permutizer $P_G(H)$ is the subgroup generated by all cyclic subgroups of $G$ which permute with $H$. A subgroup $H$ of a group $G$ is strongly permutable in $G$ if $P_U(H)=U$ for every subgroup $U$…
