We study reductive subgroups $H$ of a reductive linear algebraic group $G$ -- possibly non-connected -- such that $H$ contains a regular unipotent element of $G$. We show that under suitable hypotheses, such subgroups are $G$-irreducible in…

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.

If $K$ is a closed subgroup of a compact group $G$, the probability that randomly chosen pair of elements from $K$ and $G$ commute is denoted by $Pr(K,G)$. Say that a subgroup $K\leq G$ is $\epsilon$-central in $G$ if $Pr(\langle g…

In the note we prove that all composition factors of a finite group possessing a Carter subgroup of odd order either are abelain, or are isomorphic to $L_2(3^{2n+1})$.

We study finite groups $G$ having a subgroup $H$ and $D \subset G \setminus H$ such that the multiset $\{ xy^{-1}:x,y \in D\}$ has every non-identity element occur the same number of times (such a $D$ is called a {\it difference set}). We…

Even with the introduction of supercharacter theories, the representation theory of many unipotent groups remains mysterious. This paper constructs a family of supercharacter theories for normal pattern groups in a way that exhibit many of…

In the paper we consider the following conjecture: if a finite group $G$ possesses a solvable $\pi$-Hall subgroup $H$, then there exist elements $x,y,z,t\in G$ such that the identity $H\cap H^x\cap H^y\cap H^z\cap H^t=O_\pi(G)$ holds. The…

We prove that for every polynomial ODE there exists a Carnot group where the trajectories of the ODE lift to abnormal curves. The proof defines an explicit construction to determine a covector for the resulting abnormal curves. Using this…

In 1985 S.~Saeki and K.~Stromberg published the following question: {\it Does every infinite compact group have a subgroup which is not Haar measurable?} An affirmative answer is given for all compact groups with the exception of some…

We investigate some situation in which automorphisms of a group G are uniquely determined by their restrictions to a proper subgroup H. Much of the paper is devoted to studying under which additional hypotheses this property forces G to be…

Let $G$ be an abelian group. We prove that a group $G$ admits a Hausdorff group topology $\tau$ such that the von Neumann radical $\mathbf{n}(G, \tau)$ of $(G, \tau)$ is non-trivial and finite iff $G$ has a non-trivial finite subgroup. If…

Following the literature, a group $G$ is called a group of central type if $G$ has an irreducible character that vanishes on $G\setminus Z(G)$. Motivated by this definition, we say that a character $\chi\in {\rm Irr}(G)$ has central type if…

A subgroup $H$ of a finite group $G$ is said to be an NC-subgroup of $G$, if $ H^G N_G (H) =G$, where $H^G$ denotes the normal closure of $H$ in $G$. A finite group $G$ is called a PNC-group, if any subgroup of $G$ is an NC-subgroup of $G$,…

Let $ H $ be a subgroup of a finite group $ G $. We say that $ H $ satisfies $ \mathscr L $-$ \Pi $-property in $ G $ if $ | G / K : N _{G / K} (HK/K)| $ is a $ \pi (HK/K) $-number for all maximal $ G $-invariant subgroup $ K $ of $ H^{G}…

Let $D$ be a division ring with infinite center, $K$ a proper division subring of $D$ and $N$ an almost subnormal subgroup of the multiplicative group $D^*$ of $D$. The aim of this paper is to show that if $K$ is $N$-invariant and $N$ is…

An action of a group $G$ is highly transitive if $G$ acts transitively on $k$-tuples of distinct points for all $k \geq 1$. Many examples of groups with a rich geometric or dynamical action admit highly transitive actions. We prove that if…

Let $p$ be a prime, $S$ be a $p$-group and $\mathcal{F}$ be a saturated fusion system over $S$. Then $\mathcal{F}$ is said to be supersolvable, if there exists a series of $S$, namely $1 = S_0 \leq S_1 \leq \cdots \leq S_n = S$, such that…

Thompson's theorem stated that a finite group $G$ is solvable if and only if every $2$-generated subgroup of $G$ is solvable. In this paper, we prove some new criteria for both solvability and nilpotency of a finite group using certain…

Consider a hyperbolic group G and a quasiconvex subgroup H of infinite index. We construct a set-theoretic section s of the quotient map (of sets) from G to G/H such that s(G/H) is a net in G; that is, any element of G is a bounded distance…

We classify finite groups in which the centralisers of certain non-central elements are soluble. This includes a full structural description of groups whose non-central element centralisers are all soluble, and a reduction theorem for the…
