A group is called capable if it is a central factor group. We consider the capability of certain nilpotent products of cyclic groups, and obtain a generalisation of a theorem of Baer for the small class case. The approach may also be used…

We show that amenability, the Haagerup property, the Kazhdan's property (T) and exactness are preserved under taking second nilpotent product of groups. We also define the restricted second nilpotent wreath product of groups, this is a…

The semigroup of the homotopy classes of the self-homotopy maps of a finite complex which induce the trivial homomorphism on homotopy groups is nilpotent. We determine the nilpotency of these semigroups of compact Lie groups and finite Hopf…

In this article we aim to develop from first principles a theory of sum sets and partial sum sets, which are defined analogously to difference sets and partial difference sets. We obtain non-existence results and characterisations. In…

If G is a semidirect product N by H with N normal and finitely generated then G has the property that every finite group is a quotient of some finite index subgroup of G if and only if one of N and H has this property. This has applications…

We prove that every \omega-categorical, generically stable group is nilpotent-by-finite and that every \omega-categorical, generically stable ring is nilpotent-by-finite.

We prove that a map onto a nilpotent group $Q$ has finitely generated kernel if and only if the preimage of the positive cone is coarsely connected as a subset of the Cayley graph for every full archimedean partial order on $Q$. In case $Q$…

The notion of bounded FC-nilpotent group is introduced and it is shown that any such group is nilpotent-by-finite, generalizing a result of Neumann on bounded FC-groups.

We prove that a semigroup generated by a reversible two-state Mealy automaton is either finite or free of rank 2. This fact leads to the decidability of finiteness for groups generated by two-state or two-letter invertible-reversible Mealy…

Our main result is that a finitely generated nilpotent group has no isometric action on an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space with dense orbits. In contrast, we construct such an action with a finitely generated metabelian group.

We describe the two-generated limits of abelian-by-(infinite cyclic) groups in the space of marked groups using number theoretic methods. We also discuss universal equivalence of these limits.

Let $\mathcal G$ denote the space of finitely generated marked groups. For any finitely generated group $G$, we construct a continuous, injective map $f$ from the space of subgroups $Sub(G)$ to $\mathcal G$ that sends conjugate subgroups to…

In this paper we consider the palindromic width of free nilpotent groups. In particular, we prove that the palindromic width of a finitely generated free nilpotent group is finite. We also prove that the palindromic width of a free…

We prove that every nonabelian free group has a finitely generated isolated subgroup which is not separable in the class of nilpotent groups. This enables us to give a negative answer to the following question by D.I. Moldavanskii in the…

In this paper we find a necessary and sufficient condition for a finite nilpotent group to have an abelian central automorphism group.

Let $G$ be a finite simple group of Lie type and let $P$ be a Sylow $2$-subgroup of $G$. In this paper, we prove that for any nontrivial element $x \in G$, there exists $g \in G$ such that $G = \langle P, x^g \rangle$. By combining this…

We study the class of groups having the property that every non-nilpotent subgroup is equal to its normalizer. These groups are either soluble or perfect. We completely describe the structure of soluble groups and finite perfect groups with…

We define the notion of accessibility for a pro-$p$ group. We prove that finitely generated pro-$p$ groups are accessible given a bound on the size of their finite subgroups. We then construct a finitely generated inaccessible pro-$p$…

We prove that if $G$ is finite 2-generated $p$-group of nilpotence class at most 2 then the group algebra of $G$ with coefficients in the field with $p$ elements determines $G$ up to isomorphisms.

Among other things, we prove that the group of automorphisms fixing every normal subgroup of a nilpotent-by-abelian group is nilpotent-by-metabelian. In particular, the group of automorphisms fixing every normal subgroup of a metabelian…
