Products of groups and group classes

Letχ be a Schunck class, and let the finite groupG=AB=BC=AC be the product of two nilpotent subgroupsA andB andχ-subgroupC. If for every common prime divisorp of the orders ofA andB the cyclic group of orderp is anχ-group, thenG is anχ-group. This generalizes earlier results of O. Kegel and F. Peterson. Some related results for groups of the formG=AB=AK=BK, whereK is a nilpotent normal subgroup ofG andA andB areχ-groups for some saturated formationχ, are also proved.

Radical Rings with Soluble Adjoint Groups

Abstract An associative ring R , not necessarily with an identity, is called radical if it coincides with its Jacobson radical, which means that the set of all elements of R forms a group denoted by R ∘ under the circle operation r  ∘  s  =  r  +  s  +  rs on R . It is proved that every radical ring R whose adjoint group R ∘ is soluble must be Lie-soluble. Moreover, if the commutator factor group of R ∘ has finite torsion-free rank, then R is locally nilpotent.

Radical Rings with Engel Conditions

Abstract An associative ring R without unity is called radical if it coincides with its Jacobson radical, which means that the set of all elements of R forms a group denoted by R ∘  under the circle operation r  ∘  s  =  r  +  s  +  rs on R . It is proved that, for a radical ring R , the group R ∘  satisfies an n -Engel condition for some positive integer n if and only if R is m -Engel as a Lie ring for some positive integer m depending only on n .

Rank formulae for factorized groups

The following inequalities for the torsion-free rank r0(G) of the group G=AB and for the p∞-rank rp(G) of the soluble-by-finite group G=AB are stated: $$\begin{gathered} r_0 (G) \leqslant r_0 (A) + r_0 (B) - r_0 (A \cap B), \hfill \\ r_p (G) \leqslant r_p (A) + r_p (B) - r_p (A \cap B). \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$

Criteria for the solubility and non-simplicity of finite groups

Abstract Some criteria of the non-simplicity of a finite group by graph theoretical terms are derived. This is then used to establish conditions under which a finite group is soluble.

Associative rings whose adjoint semigroup is locally nilpotent

The set of all elements of an associative ring R, not necessarily with a unit element, forms a semigroup R ad under the circle operation \({r\circ s}={r+s+rs}\) on R. The ring R is called radical if R ad is a group. It is proved that the semigroup R ad is nilpotent of class n (in sense of A. Mal'cev or B. H. Neumann and T. Taylor) if and only if the ring R is Lie-nilpotent of class n. This yields a positive answer to a question posed by A. Krasil'nikov and independently considered by D. Riley and V. Tasic. It is also shown that the adjoint group of a radical ring R is locally nilpotent if and only if R is locally Lie-nilpotent.

On Associative Rings with Locally Nilpotent Adjoint Semigroup

Abstract The set of all elements of an associative ring R, not necessarily with a unit element, forms a semigroup R ad under the circle operation r ∘ s = r + s + rs for all r, s in R. This semigroup is locally nilpotent if every finitely generated subsemigroup of R ad is nilpotent (in sense of A. I. Mal'cev or B. H. Neumann and T. Taylor). The ring R is locally Lie-nilpotent if every finitely generated subring of R is Lie-nilpotent. It is proved that R ad is a locally nilpotent semigroup if and only if R is a locally Lie-nilpotent ring.

On the Soluble Graph of a Finite Simple Group

The maximal independent sets of the soluble graph of a finite simple group G are studied and their independence number is determined. In particular, it is shown that this graph in many cases has an independent set with three vertices.

Associative rings with metabelian adjoint group

Abstract The set of all elements of an associative ring R, not necessarily with a unit element, forms a monoid under the circle operation r∘s=r+s+rs on R whose group of all invertible elements is called the adjoint group of R and denoted by R°. The ring R is radical if R=R°. It is proved that a radical ring R is Lie metabelian if and only if its adjoint group R° is metabelian. This yields a positive answer to a question raised by S. Jennings and repeated later by A. Krasil'nikov. Furthermore, for a ring R with unity whose multiplicative group R ∗ is metabelian, it is shown that R is Lie metabelian, provided that R is generated by R ∗ and R modulo its Jacobson radical is commutative and arti…

Local nearrings with dihedral multiplicative group

AbstractA not necessarily zero-symmetric nearring R with a unit element is called local if the set of all non-invertible elements of R forms a subgroup of the additive group of R. It is proved that every local nearring whose multiplicative group is dihedral is finite and its additive group is either a 3-group of order at most 9 or a 2-group of order at most 32.

Large subgroups of a finite group of even order

It is shown that if G G is a group of even order with trivial center such that | G | > 2 | C G ( t ) | 3 |G|>2|C_{G}(t)|^{3} for some involution t ∈ G t\in G , then there exists a proper subgroup H H of G G such that | G | > | H | 2 |G|> |H|^{2} . If | G | > | C G ( t ) | 3 |G|>|C_{G}(t)|^{3} and k ( G ) k(G) is the class number of G G , then | G | ≤ k ( G ) 3 |G|\leq k(G)^{3} .

Products of locally finite groups with min-p

AbstractThe paper is devoted to showing that if the factorized group G = AB is almost solvable, if A and B are π-subgroups with min-p for some prime p in π and also if the hypercenter factor group A/H(A) or B/H(B) has min p for the prime p. then G is a π-group with min-p for the prime p.
