The <Emphasis Type="Italic">F</Emphasis>-local subgroups of the groups with a generalized finite element of order 2 or 4

We prove the existence of infinite subgroups with nontrivial locally finite radicals and of infinite locally finite subgroups in the groups with almost finite almost solvable elements of order 2 and 4 and in the groups with almost finite elements.     

Conjugately Dense Subgroups of Locally Finite Chevalley Groups of Lie Rank 1

Of interest are the subgroups of various groups which have nonempty intersection with each class of conjugate elements of the group under study. We call these subgroups conjugately dense and study Neumann's problem of describing them in the Chevalley groups over a field. The main theorem lists all conjugately dense subgroups of the Chevalley groups of Lie rank 1 over a locally finite field.     

Carter subgroups of finite groups

Infinite-dimensional linear groups with restrictions on subgroups that are not soluble <Emphasis Type="Italic">A</Emphasis><Subscript>3</Subscript>-groups

We are concerned with infinite-dimensional locally soluble linear groups of infinite central dimension that are not soluble A₃-groups and all of whose proper subgroups, which are not soluble A₃-groups, have finite central dimension. The structure of groups in this class is described. The case of infinite-dimensional locally nilpotent linear groups satisfying the specified conditions is treated separately. A similar problem is solved for infinite-dimensional locally soluble linear groups of infinite fundamental dimension that are not soluble A₃-groups and all of whose proper subgroups, which are not soluble A₃-groups, have finite fundamental dimension. __________ Translated from Algebra i Logika, Vol. 46, No. 5, pp. 548–559, September–October, 2007.     

Locally minimal topological groups 2

We continue in this paper the study of locally minimal groups started in Außenhofer et al. (2010) [4]. The minimality criterion for dense subgroups of compact groups is extended to local minimality. Using this criterion we characterize the compact abelian groups containing dense countable locally minimal subgroups, as well as those containing dense locally minimal subgroups of countable free-rank. We also characterize the compact abelian groups whose torsion part is dense and locally minimal. We call a topological group G almost minimal if it has a closed, minimal normal subgroup N such that the quotient group G/N is uniformly free from small subgroups. The class of almost minimal groups includes all locally compact groups, and is contained in the class of locally minimal groups. On the other hand, we provide examples of countable precompact metrizable locally minimal groups which are not almost minimal. Some other significant properties of this new class are obtained.     

Carter subgroups of finite almost simple groups

In the paper we work to complete the classification of Carter subgroups in finite almost simple groups. In particular, it is proved that Carter subgroups of every finite almost simple group are conjugate. Based on our previous results, together with those obtained by F. Dalla Volta, A. Lucchini, and M. C. Tamburini, as a consequence we derive that Carter subgroups of every finite group are conjugate.

Maximal locally finite subgroups of the Grigorchuk group

Examples of maximal locally finite subgroups in a 3-generated 2- group, the Grigorchuk group, are presented explicitly and their properties are studied.Translated fromMatematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 63, No. 4, pp. 617–624, April, 1998.The author thanks the referee for the remarks that allowed him to shorten the paper and avoid the duplication of known facts.     

On the Prime Radical of PI-Representable Groups

The notion of PI-representable groups is introduced; these are subgroups of invertible elements of a PI-algebra over a field. It is shown that a PI-representable group has a largest locally solvable normal subgroup, and this subgroup coincides with the prime radical of the group. The prime radical of a finitely generated PI-representable group is solvable. The class of PI-representable groups is a generalization of the class of linear groups because in the groups of the former class the largest locally solvable normal subgroup can be not solvable.

<Emphasis Type="Italic">τ</Emphasis>-primitive subgroups of finite groups

We study the influence of τ-primitive subgroups on the structure of finite groups. As applications, we give the structure of the finite groups whose every subgroup is an intersection of subgroups of prime power index and the structure of finite groups whose every subnormal subgroup is an intersection of subnormal subgroups of prime power index.

On a Generalization of the Notion of Orthogonality and on the Riesz Groups

A method for generalizing the notion of orthogonality to arbitrary partially ordered groups is considered. In the paper, the properties of almost orthogonal elements in Riesz groups are investigated. A series of results on convex directed subgroups associated with a pair of almost orthogonal elements of a Riesz group is obtained. For these subgroups, some theorems on homomorphisms are proved.     

Groups with few conjugacy classes of non-normal subgroups

The structure of groups with finitely many non-normal subgroups is well known. In this paper, groups are investigated with finitely many conjugacy classes of non-normal subgroups with a given property. In particular, it is proved that a locally soluble group with finitely many non-trivial conjugacy classes of non-abelian subgroups has finite commutator subgroup. This result generalizes a theorem by Romalis and Sesekin on groups in which every non-abelian subgroup is normal.      

Finite groups with an almost regular automorphism of order four

P. Shumyatsky’s question 11.126 in the “Kourovka Notebook” is answered in the affirmative: it is proved that there exist a constant c and a function of a positive integer argument f(m) such that if a finite group G admits an automorphism ϕ of order 4 having exactly m fixed points, then G has a normal series G ⩾ H ⩽ N such that |G/H| ⩽ f(m), the quotient group H/N is nilpotent of class ⩽ 2, and the subgroup N is nilpotent of class ⩽ c (Thm. 1). As a corollary we show that if a locally finite group G contains an element of order 4 with finite centralizer of order m, then G has the same kind of a series as in Theorem 1. Theorem 1 generalizes Kovács’ theorem on locally finite groups with a regular automorphism of order 4, whereby such groups are center-by-metabelian. Earlier, the first author proved that a finite 2-group with an almost regular automorphism of order 4 is almost center-by-metabelian. The proof of Theorem 1 is based on the authors’ previous works dealing in Lie rings with an almost regular automorphism of order 4. Reduction to nilpotent groups is carried out by using Hall-Higman type theorems. The proof also uses Theorem 2, which is of independent interest, stating that if a finite group S contains a nilpotent subgroup T of class c and index |S: T | = n, then S contains also a characteristic nilpotent subgroup of class ⩽ c whose index is bounded in terms of n and c. Previously, such an assertion has been known for Abelian subgroups, that is, for c = 1. __________ Translated from Algebra i Logika, Vol. 45, No. 5, pp. 575–602, September–October, 2006.     

Normalizers of subsystem subgroups in finite groups of Lie type

Finite groups of Lie type form the greater part of known finite simple groups. An important class of subgroups of finite groups of Lie type are so-called reductive subgroups of maximal rank. These arise naturally as Levi factors of parabolic groups and as centralizers of semisimple elements, and also as subgroups with maximal tori. Moreover, reductive groups of maximal rank play an important part in inductive studies of subgroup structure of finite groups of Lie type. Yet a number of vital questions dealing in the internal structure of such subgroups are still not settled. In particular, we know which quasisimple groups may appear as central multipliers in the semisimple part of any reductive group of maximal rank, but we do not know how normalizers of those quasisimple groups are structured. The present paper is devoted to tackling this problem.

Periodic groups saturated by finite simple groups <Emphasis Type="Italic">U</Emphasis><Subscript>3</Subscript>(2<Superscript>m</Superscript>)

Let {ie166-01} be a set of finite groups. A group G is said to be saturated by the groups in {ie166-02} if every finite subgroup of G is contained in a subgroup isomorphic to a member of {ie166-03}. It is proved that a periodic group G saturated by groups in a set {U₃(2^m) | m = 1, 2, …} is isomorphic to U₃(Q) for some locally finite field Q of characteristic 2; in particular, G is locally finite. __________ Translated from Algebra i Logika, Vol. 47, No. 3, pp. 288–306, May–June, 2008.
