In this note, we prove that for every integer $d\geq 2$ which is not a prime power, there exists a finite solvable group $G$ such that $d\mid |G|$, $\pi(G)=\pi(d)$ and $G$ has no subgroup of order $d$. We also introduce the CLT-degree of a…

We prove that infinite definably simple locally finite groups of finite centraliser dimension are simple groups of Lie type over locally finite fields. Then, we identify conditions on automorphisms of a stable group that make it resemble…

We show that the direct sum of uncountably many non-Abelian groups does not embed into the group of homeomorphisms of a compact metric space.

We obtain the functions that bound the dimensions of finite dimensional nilpotent associative or Lie algebras of class 2 over an algebraically closed field in terms of the dimensions of their commutative subalgebras. As a result, we also…

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…

We show that, for every finitely generated group with decidable word problem and undecidable domino problem, there exists a sequence of effective subshifts whose inverse limit is not the topological factor of any effective dynamical system.…

In this short note, we describe finite groups all of whose non-trivial cyclic subgroups have the same Chermak-Delgado measure.

Recent results of Qu and Tuarnauceanu describe explicitly the finite p-groups which are not elementary abelian and have the property that the number of their subgroups is maximal among p-groups of a given order. We complement these results…

This is a preliminary version of a book on infinite-dimensional Lie groups. It covers the basics of calculus and manifolds in the context of locally convex spaces, based on Bastiani's notion of a smooth map. Starting from this concept, we…

This paper is a survey on the works [MS77, MS79, MS81] on maximal subgroups in finitely generated linear groups, and the works that followed it [GG08, GG13b, GG13a, Kap03, Iva92, HO16, GM16, AGS14, Sf90, Sf98, Per05, AKT16, FG18, GS17]…

We construct an analogue of Neumann's affiliated algebras for sofic group algebras over arbitrary fields. Consequently, we settle Kaplansky's direct finiteness conjecture for sofic groups.

We prove continuity results for abstract epimorphisms of locally compact groups onto finitely generated groups.

We study totally disconnected locally compact second countable (t.d.l.c.s.c.) groups that contain a compact open subgroup with finite rank. We show such groups that additionally admit a pro-$\pi$ compact open subgroup for some finite set of…

It is a theorem of Artin, Tits et al. that a finite simple group is determined by its order, with the exception of the groups (A_3(2), A_2(4)) and (B_n(q), C_n(q)) for n > 2, q odd. We investigate the situation for finite semisimple groups…

In this article we classify all $L_9$-free finite groups.

We classify discrete quantum subgroups in the quantum double of the $q$-deformation of a compact semisimple Lie group, regarded as the complexification. We also record their classifications in some variants of quantum groups. Along the way,…

Any virtually free group $H$ containing no non-trivial finite normal subgroup (e.g., the infinite dihedral group) is a retract of any finitely generated group containing $H$ as a verbally closed subgroup.

We prove a uniform version of the Tits alternative. As a consequence, we obtain uniform lower bounds for the Cheeger constant of Cayley grahs of finitely generated non virtually solvable linear groups in arbitrary characteristic. Also we…

We show that the discrete Heisenberg group has unbounded dead-end depth with respect to every finite generating set. We also show that, in contrast, it has bounded retreat depth.

We prove vanishing results for unramified stable cohomology of finite groups of Lie type.
