We use controlled topology applied to the action of the infinite dihedral group on a partially compactified plane and deduce two consequences for algebraic K-theory. The first is that the family in the K-theoretic Farrell–Jones conjecture can be reduced to only those virtually cyclic groups that admit a surjection with finite kernel onto a cyclic group. The second is that the Waldhausen Nil gro...

— In this paper, we study the maximal cross number of long zero-sumfree sequences in a finite Abelian group. Regarding this inverse-type problem, we formulate a general conjecture and prove, among other results, that this conjecture holds true for finite cyclic groups, finite Abelian p-groups and for finite Abelian groups with rank two. Also, the results obtained here enable us to improve, via ...

Let $G$ be a finite group‎. ‎A subset $X$ of $G$ is a set of pairwise non-commuting elements‎ ‎if any two distinct elements of $X$ do not commute‎. ‎In this paper‎ ‎we determine the maximum size of these subsets in any finite‎ ‎non-abelian metacyclic $2$-group and in any finite non-abelian $p$-group with an abelian maximal subgroup‎.

Ž . A group G is LERF locally extended residually finite if for any finitely generated subgroup S of G and for any g f S there exists a finite index subgroup S of G which contains S but not g. Using graph-theoretical methods we give 0 algorithms for constructing finite index subgroups in amalgamated free products of groups with good separability properties. We prove that a free product of a fre...

This paper is devoted to the study of groups G in the universe cL̄ of all radical locally finite groups with min-p for all primes p such that every δ-chief factor of G is either a cyclic group of prime order or a quasicyclic group. We show that within the universe cL̄ this class of groups behaves very much as the class of finite supersoluble groups.

A well-known property of irreducible characters of finite groups is the fact, proved by Burnside, that if G is a finite group and % : G −→ GL(E) is an irreducible complex representation of dimension dim(%) > 2, then there exists some g ∈ G such that χ%(g) = Tr %(g) is zero. A common argument to prove this relies on the following result (also due to Burnside) on representations of finite cyclic ...

We examine Weyl groups of minimal connected simple groups of finite Morley rank of degenerate type. We show that they are cyclic, and lift isomorphically to subgroups of the ambient group.
