If a finitely generated semigroup S has a hopfian (meaning: every surjective endomorphism is an automorphism) cofinite subsemigroup T then S is hopfian too. This no longer holds if S is not finitely generated. There exists a finitely…

We show that every closed normal subgroup of infinite index in a profinite surface group $\Gamma$ is contained in a semi-free profinite normal subgroup of $\Gamma$. This answers a question of Bary-Soroker, Stevenson, and Zalesskii.

The non-centralizer graph of a finite group $G$ is the simple graph $\Upsilon_G$ whose vertices are the elements of $G$ with two vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if their centralizers are distinct. The induced subgroup of $\Upsilon_G$…

We characterize the fundamental group of a locally finite graph G with ends combinatorially, as a group of infinite words. Our characterization gives rise to a canonical embedding of this group in the inverse limit of the (free) fundamental…

A subgroup $H$ of a group $G$ is said to be pronormal in $G$ if $H$ and $H^g$ are conjugate in $\langle H, H^g\rangle$ for every element $g \in G$. In [Sib. Math. J. 2015. Vol. 56, no. 6] we proved that subgroups of odd indeces are…

A group $G$ is invariably generated (IG) if there is a subset $S \subseteq G$ such that for every subset $S' \subseteq G$, obtained from $S$ by replacing each element with a conjugate, $S'$ generates $G$. $G$ is finitely invariably…

The principle result of this article is the determination of the possible finite subgroups of arithmetic lattices in U(2,1).

The height gap theorem states that the finite subsets $F$ of matrices generating non-virtually solvable groups have normalized height $\widehat{h}(F)$ bounded below by a constant. It was first proved by Breuillard and another proof was…

We give a new proof of the fact that finite bipartite graphs cannot be axiomatized by finitely many first-order sentences among FINITE graphs. (This fact is a consequence of a general theorem proved by L. Ham and M. Jackson, and the…

Our main result is to show that every infinite, countable, residually finite group $G$ admits a Hausdorff group topology which is neither discrete nor precompact.

The classical result, due to Jordan, Burnside, Dickson, says that every normal subgroup of $GL(n, K)$ ($K$ - a field, $n \geq 3$) which is not contained in the center, contains $SL(n, K)$. A. Rosenberg gave description of normal subgroups…

A group $G$ is said to have dense solitary subgroups if each non-empty open interval in its subgroup lattice $L(G)$ contains a solitary subgroup. In this short note, we find all finite groups satisfying this property.

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 $M$ be a locally symmetric irreducible closed manifold of dimension $\ge 3$. A result of Borel [Bo] combined with Mostow rigidity imply that there exists a finite group $G = G(M)$ such that any finite subgroup of $\text{Homeo}^+(M)$ is…

In this paper the concept of $\mathbb{F}$-functorial of a finite group was introduced. These functorials have many properties of the Fitting subgroup of a soluble group and the generalized Fitting subgroup of a finite group. It was shown…

We show that if a group $G$ has a finite normal subgroup $L$ such that $G/L$ is hypercentral, then the index of the hypercenter of $G$ is bounded by a function of the order of $L$. This completes recent results generalizing classical…

The notions of stable and Morse subgroups of finitely generated groups generalize the concept of a quasiconvex subgroup of a word-hyperbolic group. For a word-hyperbolic group $G$, Kapovich provided a partial algorithm which, on input a…

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $p$ be a prime. In this paper, we study the structure of finite groups with a large number of $p$-regular conjugacy classes or, equivalently, a large number of irreducible $p$-modular representations. We…

Following Isaacs (see [Isa08, p. 94]), we call a normal subgroup N of a finite group G large, if $C_G(N) \leq N$, so that N has bounded index in G. Our principal aim here is to establish some general results for systematically producing…

In [3] is was shown that for any group $G$ whose rank (i.e., minimal number of generators) is at most 3, and any finite index subgroup $H\leq G$ with index $[G:H]\geq rank(G)$, one can always find a left-right transversal of $H$ which…
