Let $K$ be a subgroup of a finite group $G$. The probability that an element of $G$ commutes with an element of $K$ is denoted by $Pr(K,G)$. Assume that $Pr(K,G)\geq\epsilon$ for some fixed $\epsilon>0$. We show that there is a normal…

Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a class of graphs closed under taking induced subgraphs. We say that $\mathcal{C}$ has the {\em clique-stable set separation property} if there exists $c \in \mathbb{N}$ such that for every graph $G \in \mathcal{C}$…

Let $G$ be a non-trivial torsion free group and $s(t)=g_{1}t^{\epsilon_{1}}g_{2}t^{\epsilon_{2}} \cdots g_{n}t^{\epsilon_{n}}=1 \; (g_{i} \in G,\ \epsilon_i=\pm 1)$ be an equation over $G$ containing no blocks of the form…

We show that for any positive integer $m\ge 1$, $m$-relator quotients of the modular group $M = PSL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ generically satisfy a very strong Mostow-type \emph{isomorphism rigidity}. We also prove that such quotients are generically…

Let $G$ be an infinite discrete group. A classifying space for proper actions of $G$ is a proper $G$-CW-complex $X$ such that the fixed point sets $X^H$ are contractible for all finite subgroups $H$ of $G$. In this paper we consider the…

The independence polynomial of a graph is termed {\it stable} if all its roots are located in the left half-plane $\{z \in \mathbb{C} : \mathrm{Re}(z) \leq 0\}$, and the graph itself is also referred to as stable. Brown and Cameron…

Let $\Lambda$ be a row-finite and source-free higher rank graph with finitely many vertices. In this paper, we define the Higman-Thompson like group $\Lht$ of the graph C*-algebra $\mathcal{O}_\Lambda$ to be a special subgroup of the…

Let $K$ be a subgroup of a finite group $G$, and suppose that $G=KN_G(P)$ for every Sylow subgroup $P$ of $K$. Then the subgroup $K$ is normal in $G$.

Let $\mathcal{S}$ be a finite commutative semigroup written additively, and let $\exp(\mathcal{S})$ be its exponent which is defined as the least common multiple of all periods of the elements in $\mathcal{S}$. For every sequence $T$ of…

Let $G=A \ast B$ be a free product of freely indecomposable groups. We explicitly construct quasimorphisms on $G$ which are invariant with respect to all automorphisms of $G$. We also prove that the space of such quasimorphisms is…

Consider the ring $R:=\Q[\tau,\tau^{-1}]$ of Laurent polynomials in the variable $\tau$. The Artin's Pure Braid Groups (or Generalized Pure Braid Groups) act over $R,$ where the action of every standard generator is the multiplication by…

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…

Suppose that $G$ is a finite, transitive, solvable permutation group acting on a set $S$ with $n$ elements. Let $G_0$ be the stabilizer of a point $\alpha \in \Omega$. Define the rank of a permutation group, denoted $r(G),$ as the number of…

We define a new class of sets -- stable sets -- of primes in number fields. For example, Chebotarev sets $P_{M/K}(\sigma)$, with $M/K$ Galois and $\sigma \in \Gal(M/K)$, are very often stable. These sets have positive (but arbitrary small)…

For a finite group $G$ and an arbitrary commutative ring $R$, Brou\'e has placed a Frobenius exact structure on the category of finitely generated $RG$-modules by taking the exact sequences to be those that split upon restriction to the…

An important theorem of Ling states that if $G$ is any factorizable non-fixing group of homeomorphisms of a paracompact space then its commutator subgroup $[G,G]$ is perfect. This paper is devoted to further studies on the algebraic…

The minimal degree of a permutation group $G$ is defined as the minimal number of non-fixed points of a non-trivial element of $G$. In this paper we show that if $G$ is a transitive permutation group of degree $n$ having no non-trivial…

We conjecture that if $G$ is a finite primitive group and if $g$ is an element of $G$, then either the element $g$ has a cycle of length equal to its order, or for some $r,m$ and $k$, the group $G\leq S_m\wr S_r$, preserving a product…

Let $G$ be a non-elementary hyperbolic group. Let $w$ be a group word such that the set $w[G]$ of all its values in $G$ does not coincide with $G$ or 1. We show that the width of verbal subgroup $w(G)=<w[G]>$ is infinite. That is, there is…

Let $M$ be a compact complex manifold equipped with a Gauduchon metric. If $TM$ is holomorphically trivial, and (V, \theta) is a stable SL(r,{\mathbb C})-Higgs bundle on $M$, then we show that $\theta= 0$. We show that the correspondence…
