A nuclear construction of loops with small inner mapping groups

We construct an infinite class of left conjugacy closed loopsQ such that the inner mapping group InnQ is a nonabelian group of orderpq. The constructions are done in a broader context of loopsQ =N _λ N _ρ such thatN _λ =N _μ ?Q and InnQ can be embedded into the holomorph of a cyclic group.     

On solvability of groups with a finite nilpotent supercomplemented subgroup

We investigate groups in which every subgroup containing some fixed finite nilpotent subgroup has a complement.

On nilpotent Moufang loops with central associators

In this paper, we investigate Moufang p-loops of nilpotency class at least three for $p>3$. The smallest examples have order $p^5$ and satisfy the following properties: (1) They are of maximal nilpotency class, (2) their associators lie in the center, and (3) they can be constructed using a general form of the semidirect product of a cyclic group and a group of maximal class. We present some results concerning loops with these properties. As an application, we classify proper Moufang loops of order $p^5$, $p>3$, and collect information on their multiplication groups.     

On the conjugacy of nilpotent injectors in finite groups

If a finite group G is ${\mathcal{N}}$ -constrained, then the nilpotent injectors of G form a single conjugacy class of subgroups. In this paper we shall generalize this result. This paper is part of a larger program investigating a special type of nilpotent injectors in arbitrary finite groups.     

On the number of conjugacy classes of finite nilpotent groups

We establish the first super-logarithmic lower bound for the number of conjugacy classes of a finite nilpotent group. In particular, we obtain that for any constant c there are only finitely many finite p-groups of order pm with at most c⋅m conjugacy classes. This answers a question of L. Pyber.     

Centralizers of finite nilpotent subgroups in locally finite groups

We investigate the structure of locally finite groups with a finite subgroup whose centralizer is close to a linear group. Deceased. Translated fromAlgebra i Logika, Vol. 35 No. 4, pp. 389–410, July–August, 1996.     

Locally nilpotent groups with a centralizer of finite rank

Locally nilpotent groups in which the centralizer of some finitely generated subgroup has finite rank are studied. It is shown that if G is such a group and F is a finitely generated subgroup with centralizer C_G(F) of finite rank, then the centralizer of the image of F in the factor group G/t(G) modulo the periodic part t(G) also has finite rank. It is also shown that G is hypercentral when F is cyclic and either G is torsion-free or all Sylow subgroups of the periodic part of C_G(F) are finite.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 44, No. 11, pp. 1511–1517, November, 1992.
