In fuzzy group theory many versions of the well-known Lagrange's theorem have been studied. The aim of this article is to investigate the converse of one of those results. This leads to an interesting characterization of finite cyclic…

We study profinite completion of spaces in the model category of profinite spaces and construct a rigidification of the completion functors of Artin-Mazur and Sullivan which extends also to non-connected spaces. Another new aspect is an…

We investigate the profinite completions of a certain family of groups acting on trees. It turns out that for some of the groups considered, the completions coincide with the closures of the groups in the full group of tree automorphisms.…

Groups, in which every subgroup containing some fixed primary cyclic subgroup has a complement, are investigated.

We prove that in every finitely generated profinite group, every subgroup of finite index is open; this implies that the topology on such groups is determined by the algebraic structure. This is deduced from the main result about finite…

We prove that every profinite group in a certain class with a rational probabilistic zeta function has only finitely many maximal subgroups.

We investigate the ability of a free pro-$\CC$ group of infinite rank to abstractly solve abstract embedding problems, and conclude that for some varieties $\CC$, the profinite completion of any order, of a free pro-$\CC$ group of infinite…

We introduce the concept of quantifying the extent to which a finitely generated group is residually finite. The quantification is carried out for some examples including free groups, the first Grigorchuk group, finitely generated nilpotent…

We construct a model structure on simplicial profinite sets such that the homotopy groups carry a natural profinite structure. This yields a rigid profinite completion functor for spaces and pro-spaces. One motivation is the \'etale…

I survey some recent developments in the theory of zeta functions associated to infinite groups and rings, specifically zeta functions enumerating subgroups and subrings of finite index or finite-dimensional complex representations.

In this note we study the finite groups whose subgroup lattices are dismantlable.

Our aim is to transfer several foundational results from the modular representation theory of finite groups to the wider context of profinite groups. We are thus interested in profinite modules over the completed group algebra k[[G]] of a…

Topological full groups originated from the theory of topological dynamical systems and have been having considerable impact on group theory in recent years. This text represents an introduction/survey on topological full groups. After…

We extend the theory of countably generated Demushkin groups to Demushkin groups of arbitrary rank. We investigate their algebraic properties and invariants, count their isomorphism classes and study their realization as absolute Galois…

This is a survey on the automorphism groups in various classes of affine algebraic surfaces and the algebraic group actions on such surfaces. Being infinite-dimensional, these automorphism groups share some important features of algebraic…

Recently, sub-indices and sub-factors of groups with connections to number theory, additive combinatorics, and factorization of groups have been introduced and studied. Since all group subsets are considered in the theory and there are many…

We give criteria on an inverse system of finite groups that ensure the limit is just infinite or hereditarily just infinite. More significantly, these criteria are 'universal' in that all (hereditarily) just infinite profinite groups arise…

This paper contains a stronger version of a final identification theorem for the `generic' groups of finite Morley rank.

This is a translation. I have added translations for (possibly) outdated definitions in an appendix at the end. In this paper, we define distributive groups and show some properties of them. We then concern ourselves with the homogeinity of…

In this note some properties of the sum of element orders of a finite abelian group are studied.
