AbstractA group $G$ is called a group with boundedly finite conjugacy classes (or a BFC-group) if $G$ is finite-by-abelian. A group $G$ satisfies the maximal condition on non-BFC-subgroups if every ascending chain of non-BFC-subgroups terminates in finitely many steps. In this paper the authors obtain the structure of finitely generated soluble-by-finite groups with the maximal condition on non-BFC subgroups.AMS 2000 Mathematics subject classification: Primary 20E15.

AbstractThe class of finitely generated soluble coherent groups is considered. It is shown that these groups have the maximal condition on normal subgroups and can be characterized in a number of ways. In particular, they are precisely the class of finitely generated soluble groups G with the property:Subject classification (Amer. Math. Soc. (MOS) 1970): primary 20 E 15; secondary 20 F 05.

AbstractFor a finite group G we study certain rings (k)G called k-S-rings, one for each k ≥ 1, where (1)G is the centraliser ring Z(ℂG) of G. These rings have the property that (k+1)G determines (k)G for all k ≥ 1. We study the relationship of (2)G with the weak Cayley table of G. We show that (2)G and the weak Cayley table together determine the sizes of the derived factors of G (noting that a result of Mattarei shows that (1)G = Z(ℂG) does not). We also show that (4)G determines G for any group G with finite conjugacy classes, thus giving an answer to a question of Brauer. We give a criteria for two groups to have the same 2-S-ring and a result guaranteeing that two groups have the same weak Cayley table. Using these results we find a pair of groups of order 512 that have the same weak Cayley table, are a Brauer pair, and have the same 2-S-ring.

A class of groups forms a (subnormal) coalition class, or is (subnormally) coalescent, if wheneverHandKare subnormal -subgroups of a groupGthen their join <H, K> is also a subnormal -subgroup ofG. Among the known coalition classes are those of finite groups and polycylic groups (Wielandt [15]); groups with maximal condition for subgroups (Baer [1]); finitely generated nilpotent groups (Baer [2]); groups with maximal or minimal condition on subnormal subgroups (Robinson [8], Roseblade [11, 12]); minimax groups (Roseblade, unpublished); and any subjunctive class of finitely generated groups (Roseblade and Stonehewer [13]).

AbstractGiven finite sets of cyclic words $\{u_1,\dots,u_k\}$ and $\{v_1,\dots,v_k\}$ in a finitely generated free group $F$ and two finite groups $A$ and $B$ of outer automorphisms of $F$, we produce an algorithm to decide whether there is an automorphism which conjugates $A$ to $B$ and takes $u_i$ to $v_i$ for each $i$. If $A$ and $B$ are trivial, this is the classic algorithm due to Whitehead. We use this algorithm together with Cohen and Lustig’s solution to the conjugacy problem for Dehn twist automorphisms of $F$ to solve the conjugacy problem for outer automorphisms which have a power which is a Dehn twist. This settles the conjugacy problem for all automorphisms of $F$ which have linear growth.AMS 2000 Mathematics subject classification: Primary 20F32. Secondary 57M07

The finite groups in which every irreducible character vanishes on at most three conjugacy classes were characterized [J. Group Theory13 (2010) 799–819]. Dually, we investigate the finite groups whose columns contain a small number of zeros in the character table.

AbstractWe study the growth of group endomorphisms, a generalization of the classical notion of growth of finitely generated groups, which is strictly related to algebraic entropy. We prove that the inner automorphisms of a group have the same growth type and the same algebraic entropy as the identity automorphism. Moreover, we show that endomorphisms of locally finite groups cannot have intermediate growth. We also find an example showing that the Addition Theorem for algebraic entropy does not hold for endomorphisms of arbitrary groups.
