AbstractEmbedding theorems are employed to show that many important categories do not possess non-trivial retracts or injectives. E.g., the categories of monoids, groups, rings, rings with unity, polynomial identity rings, nilpotent groups, solvable groups, and several varieties of groups.

If G is a finite group and P is a group-theoretic property, G will be called P-max-core if for every maximal subgroup M of G, M/MG has property P where MG = ∩ is the core of M in G. In a joint paper with John D. Dixon and A.H. Rhemtulla, we showed that if p is an odd prime and G is (p-nilpotent)-max-core, then G is p-solvable, and then using the techniques of the theory of solvable groups, we characterized nilpotent-max-core groups as finite nilpotent-by-nilpotent groups. The proof of the first result used John G. Thompson's p-nilpotency criterion and hence required p > 2. In this paper I show that supersolvable-max-core groups (and hence (2-nilpotent)-max-core groups) need not be 2-solvable (that is, solvable). Also I generalize the second result, among others, and characterize (p-nilpotent)-max-core groups (for p an odd prime) as finite nilpotent-by-(p-nilpotent) groups.

AbstractA p-subgroup version of the conjecture of Zassenhaus is proved for some finite solvable groups including solvable groups in which any Sylow p-subgroup is either abelian or generalized quaternion, solvable Frobenius groups, nilpotent-by-nilpotent groups and solvable groups whose orders are not divisible by the fourth power of any prime.

We describe the structure of finite solvable non-nilpotent groups in which every two strongly n-maximal subgroups are permutable (n = 2; 3). In particular, it is shown for a solvable non-nilpotent group G that any two strongly 2-maximal subgroups are permutable if and only if G is a Schmidt group with Abelian Sylow subgroups. We also prove the equivalence of the structure of non-nilpotent solvable groups with permutable 3-maximal subgroups and with permutable strongly 3-maximal subgroups. The last result allows us to classify all finite solvable groups with permutable strongly 3-maximal subgroups, and we describe 14 classes of groups with this property. The obtained results also prove the nilpotency of a finite solvable group with permutable strongly n -maximal subgroups if the number of prime divisors of the order of this group strictly exceeds n (n=2; 3).

The complexity of the equation solvability problem is known for nilpotent groups, for not solvable groups and for some semidirect products of Abelian groups. We provide a new polynomial time algorithm for deciding the equation solvability problem over certain semidirect products, where the first factor is not necessarily Abelian. Our main idea is to represent such groups as matrix groups, and reduce the original problem to equation solvability over the underlying field. Further, we apply this new method to give a much more efficient algorithm for equation solvability over nilpotent rings than previously existed.

The object of this note is to study two properties of groups, which we will denote by (*) and (**). The property (*) is possessed by solvable groups (and in fact, by groups which have a solvable invariant system) and the property (**) is possessed by nilpotent groups (and in fact, by groups which have a central system).

AbstractWe prove that for a finitely generated infinite nilpotent group G with structure (G, ·, …), the connected component G*0 of a sufficiently saturated extension G* of G exists and equalsWe construct an expansion of ℤ by a predicate (ℤ, +, P) such that the type-connected component is strictly smaller than ℤ*0. We generalize this to finitely generated virtually solvable groups. As a corollary of our construction we obtain an optimality result for the van der Waerden theorem for finite partitions of groups.

AbstractA group G is said to have the FINITE INDEX property (G is an FI-group) if, whenever H≤G, xp ∈ H for some x in G and p > 0, then |〈H, x〉: H| is finite. Following a brief discussion of some locally nilpotent groups with this property, it is shown that torsion-free solvable groups of finite rank which have the isolator property are FI-groups. It is deduced from this that a finitely generated torsion-free solvable group has an FI-subgroup of finite index if and only if it has finite rank.
