Let Un denote the variety of abelian groups of exponent dividing n, and let p be an arbitrary prime. In this paper all non-nilpotent, join-ireducible subvarieties of the product variety UpUp2 are determined. The proper subvarieties of this kind in fact form an infinite ascending chain …, and an arbitrary proper subvariety B of UpUp2 is either nilpotent or a join , where L is nilpotent and k is uniquely determined by B.

Gupta, Newman & Tobin (1968) show that in a metabelian group of exponent dividing p k , the subgroup generated by p k -1 th powers is nilpotent. In this paper we obtain the ‘right’ bound for the class of this subgroup together with some information about the subgroup generated by p h th powers, thus answering a question raised by Gupta et al .

Here we announce results which will appear in full in due course elsewhere. The aim is a study of varieties of metabelian groups. The technique is to study varieties of certain universal algebras, which are very similar to groups, called bigroups. For certain varieties of bigroups all the non-nilpotent join-irreducible subvarieties are determined, and this is used to reduce the same problem for varieties of metabelian groups to the case of prime-power exponent. Questions of distributivity of the lattice of metabelian varieties are also discussed.

Meier-Wunderli has shown that every metabelian group of exponent p is nilpotent. Here we show that the subgroup generated by p k-1 th powers of elements in a metabelian group of exponent p k is nilpotent. We also obtain some information on the subgroup generated by p k-2 th powers. Finally we obtain a bound for the nilpotency class of n -generator metabelian groups of exponent p k .

Abstract We prove that all invariant random subgroups of the lamplighter group L are co-sofic. It follows that L is permutation stable, providing an example of an infinitely presented such group. Our proof applies more generally to all permutational wreath products of finitely generated abelian groups. We rely on the pointwise ergodic theorem for amenable groups.

Let c ≥ 0, d ≥ 2 be integers and be the variety of groups in which every d-generator subgroup is nilpotent of class at most c. N.D. Gupta asked for what values of c and d is it true that is locally nilpotent? We prove that if c ≤ 2d + 2d−1 − 3 then the variety is locally nilpotent and we reduce the question of Gupta about the periodic groups in to the prime power exponent groups in this variety.

Keller (6) considered a generalisation of a problem of Minkowski (7) concerning the filling of Rn by congruent cubes. Hajós (4) reduced Minkowski's conjecture to a problem concerning the factorization of finite abelian groups and then solved this problem. In a similar manner Hajós (5) reduced Keller's conjecture to a problem in the factorization of finite abelian groups, but this problem remains unsolved, in general. It occurs also as Problem 80 in Fuchs (3). Seitz (10) has obtained a solution for cyclic groups of prime power order. In this paper we present a solution for cyclic groups whose order is the product of two prime powers.
