Finite groups $G$ such that $G/Z(G) \simeq C_2 \times C_2$ where $C_2$ denotes a cyclic group of order 2 and $Z(G)$ is the center of $G$ were studied in \cite{casofinito} and were used to classify finite loops with alternative loop…

Here we show that a finite nilpotent group is 2-closed if and only if it is either cyclic or a direct product of a generalized quaternion group with a cyclic group of odd order.

Gowers has elegantly characterized the finite groups $G$ in which $A_1A_2A_3 = G$ for any positive density subsets $A_1,A_2,A_3$. This property, quasi-randomness, holds if and only if G does not admit a nontrivial irreducible representation…

Let $G$ be a finite group of odd order admitting an involutory automorphism $\phi$. We obtain two results bounding the exponent of $[G,\phi]$. Denote by $G_{-\phi}$ the set $\{[g,\phi]\,\vert\, g\in G\}$ and by $G_{\phi}$ the centralizer of…

We obtain many results and solve some problems about feebly compact paratopological groups. We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for such a group to be topological. One of them is the quasiregularity. We prove that each…

We prove that a finite type curve is an $\xi$-asymptotic line (without parabolic points) of a suitable plane field. It is also given an explicit example of a hyperbolic closed finite type $\xi$-asymptotic line. These results obtained here…

We provide non-isomorphic finite 2-groups which have isomorphic group algebras over any field of characteristic 2, thus settling the Modular Isomorphism Problem.

The main goal of this paper is a detailed study of asymptotic cones of the mapping class groups. In particular, we prove that every asymptotic cone of a mapping class group has a bi-Lipschitz equivariant embedding into a product of real…

In this note, we investigate how different fundamental groups of presentations of a fixed algebra $A$ can be. For finitely many finitely presented groups $G_i$, we construct an algebra $A$ such that all $G_i$ appear as fundamental groups of…

Given a finite group $G,$ we denote by $\Delta(G)$ the graph whose vertices are the proper subgroups of $G$ and in which two vertices $H$ and $K$ are joined by an edge if and only if $G=\langle H,K\rangle.$ We prove that if there exists a…

Let $G$ be a group that is relatively hyperbolic with respect to a collection of subgroups $\{H_{\lambda}\}_{\lambda\in \Lambda}$. Suppose that $G$ is given by a finite relative presentation $\mathcal{P}$ with respect to this collection. We…

It is a classical result that the direct product AxB of two groups is finitely generated (finitely presented) if and only if A and B are both finitely generated (finitely presented). This is also true for direct products of monoids, but not…

We give conditions which imply that a complete noncompact manifold with quadratic curvature decay has finite topological type. In particular, we find links between the topology of a manifold with quadractic curvature decay and some…

Let G be a finitely generated group with a given word metric. The asymptotic density of elements in G that have a particular property P is defined to be the limit, as r goes to infinity, of the proportion of elements in the ball of radius r…

In this paper it is shown how to construct a finite topological space $X$ for a given finitely presentable group $G$ such that $\pi_1(X)\cong G$. Our construction is not optimal in the sense that the cardinality of the space $X$ might not…

A discrete group is matricially stable if every function from the group to a complex unitary group that is "almost multiplicative" in the point-operator norm topology is "close" to a genuine unitary representation. It follows from a recent…

Two finite groups $L_1$ and $L_2$ are compatible if there exists a finite group $G$ with isomorphic normal subgroups $N_1$ and $N_2$ such that $L_1\cong G/N_1$ and $L_2\cong G/N_2$. We prove a new sufficient condition for two groups to be…

We describe elementary examples of finitely presented sofic groups which are not residually amenable (and thus not initially subamenable or LEA, for short). We ask if an amalgam of two amenable groups over a finite subgroup is residually…

We show that the geometric and homological finiteness properties of group pairs are invariant under a suitable notion of quasi-isometry for group pairs.

Let $G$ be a finite group, define $I(G)=\{x\in G : x^{2}=1\}$, $C(G)=$ set of the cyclic subgroups of $G$, $i(G)=|I(G)|$ and $c(G)=|C(G)|$. In this article, we will classify finite groups with $i(G)=c(G)-r$ for $r=0,1,$ and $2$. We also…
