Let $F$ be any field. We give a short and elementary proof that any finite subgroup $G$ of $PGL(2,F)$ occurs as a Galois group over the function field $F(x)$. We also develop a theory of descent to subfields of $F$. This enables us to…

We count the finitely generated subgroups of the modular group $\textsf{PSL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$. More precisely: each such subgroup $H$ can be represented by its Stallings graph $\Gamma(H)$, we consider the number of vertices of $\Gamma(H)$ to…

In this paper, we determine the finite groups with a Sylow $r$-subgroup contained in a unique maximal subgroup. The proof involves a reduction to almost simple groups, and our main theorem extends earlier work of Aschbacher in the special…

Let G be a 2-group of order 2^n, n>5, and nilpotency class n-2. The invariants of such groups determined by their group algebras over the field of two elements are given in the paper.

We establish various results on the structure of approximate subgroups in linear groups such as SL_n(k) that were previously announced by the authors. For example, generalising a result of Helfgott (who handled the cases n = 2 and 3), we…

We classify closed abelian subgroups of a compact simple Lie group of adjoint type and of type E having centralizer of the same dimension as the dimension of the subgroup and describe Weyl groups of maximal abelian subgroups.

This paper determines almost symmetric numerical semigroups with maximal reduced type completely. In addition, this paper classifies MED-semigroups with maximal reduced type.

For a finite group $G$, we study the probability $sp(G)$ that, given two elements $x,y \in G$, the cyclic subgroup $\langle x \rangle$ is subnormal in the subgroup $\langle x, y \rangle$. This can be seen as an intermediate invariant…

We prove the following results: (1) Every group is a maximal subgroup of some free idempotent generated semigroup. (2) Every finitely presented group is a maximal subgroup of some free idempotent generated semigroup arising from a finite…

We describe finite soluble groups in which every $n$-maximal subgroup is $\mathfrak F$-subnormal.

A subgroup $H$ of a group $G$ is called $\Bbb P$-{\sl subnormal} in $G$ if either $H=G$ or there is a chain of subgroups $H=H_0\subset H_1\subset...\subset H_n=G$ such that $|H_i:H_{i-1}|$ is prime for $1\le i\le n$. In this paper we study…

Here is a simplified proof that every sharply transitive subset of $\mathrm{PGL}_2(K)$ is a coset of a subgroup.

This paper aims at studying solvable-by-finite and locally solvable maximal subgroups of an almost subnormal subgroup of the general skew linear group $\GL_n(D)$ over a division ring $D$. It turns out that in the case where $D$ is…

Let $H$ be a finite quasisimple classical group, i.e. $H$ is perfect and $S:=H/Z(H)$ is a finite simple classical group. We prove in this paper that, excluding the cases when the simple group $S$ has a very exceptional Schur multiplier such…

In this paper, we study a group in which every 2-maximal subgroup is a Hall subgroup.

We provide a brief overview of our upcoming work identifying all the thin Heckoid groups in $PSL(2,\mathbb{C})$. Here we give a complete list of the $55$ thin generalised triangle groups of slope $1/2$. This work was presented at the…

If G is a group with a presentation of the form < x,y|x^3=y^5=W(x,y)^2=1 >, then either G is virtually soluble or G contains a free subgroup of rank 2. This provides additional evidence in favour of a conjecture of Rosenberger.

Let $G$ be a finite group and $cd(G)$ denote the set of complex irreducible character degrees of $G$. In this paper, we prove that if $G$ is a finite group and $H$ is an almost simple group whose socle is Mathieu group such that $cd(G)…

A conjecture of Rosenberger says that a group of the form $\langle x,y|x^p=y^q=W(x,y)^r=1\rangle$ (with $r>1$) is either virtually solvable or contains a non-abelian free subgroup. This note is an account of an attack on the conjecture in…

In this paper we examine embeddings of alternating groups and symmetric groups into almost simple groups of exceptional type. In particular, we prove that unless the alternating or symmetric group has degree 6 or 7, there is no maximal…
