We prove that any two continuous minimal (topologically free) actions of the infinite dihedral group on an compact Hausdorff space are continuously orbit equivalent only if they conjugate. also show above fails we replace by certain other virtually cyclic groups, e.g., direct product integer with non-abelian finite simple group.

A countable group is C∗-simple if its reeduced C∗-algebra is a simple algebra. Since Powers recognised in 1975 that non-abelian free groups are C∗-simple, large classes of groups which appear naturally in geometry have been identified, including non-elementary Gromov hyperbolic groups and lattices in semisimple groups. In this exposition, C∗-simplicity for countable groups is shown to be an ext...

Noncollinear magnetic order is typically characterized by a tetrad ground state manifold (GSM) of three perpendicular vectors or nematic directors. We study three types of tetrad orders in two spatial dimensions, whose GSMs are SO(3) = S(3)/Z(2), S(3)/Z(4), and S(3)/Q(8), respectively. Q(8) denotes the non-Abelian quaternion group with eight elements. We demonstrate that after quantum disorderi...

Let W be a variety of groups defined by a set W of laws and G be a finite p-group in W. The automorphism α of a group G is said to bea marginal automorphism (with respect to W), if for all x ∈ G, x−1α(x) ∈ W∗(G), where W∗(G) is the marginal subgroup of G. Let M,N be two normalsubgroups of G. By AutM(G), we mean the subgroup of Aut(G) consistingof all automorphisms which centralize G/M. AutN(G) ...

‎suppose $n$ is a fixed positive integer‎. ‎we introduce the relative n-th non-commuting graph $gamma^{n} _{h,g}$‎, ‎associated to the non-abelian subgroup $h$ of group $g$‎. ‎the vertex set is $gsetminus c^n_{h,g}$ in which $c^n_{h,g} = {xin g‎ : ‎[x,y^{n}]=1 mbox{~and~} [x^{n},y]=1mbox{~for~all~} yin h}$‎. ‎moreover‎, ‎${x,y}$ is an edge if $x$ or $y$ belong to $h$ and $xy^{n}eq y^{n}x$ or $x...

a group is called morphic if for each normal endomorphism α in end(g),there exists β such that ker(α)= gβ and gα= ker(β). in this paper, we consider the case that there exist normal endomorphisms β and γ such that ker(α)= gβ and gα = ker(γ). we call g quasi-morphic, if this happens for any normal endomorphism α in end(g). we get the following results: g is quasi-morphic if and only if, for any ...

let $pounds$ be the category of all locally compact abelian (lca) groups‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎the groups $g$ in $pounds$ are determined such that every extension $0to xto yto gto 0$ with divisible‎, ‎$sigma-$compact $x$ in $pounds$ splits‎. ‎we also determine the discrete or compactly generated lca groups $h$ such that every pure extension $0to hto yto xto 0$ splits for each divisible group $x$ ...

a $p$-group $g$ is $p$-central if $g^{p}le z(g)$‎, ‎and $g$ is‎ ‎$p^{2}$-abelian if $(xy)^{p^{2}}=x^{p^{2}}y^{p^{2}}$ for all $x,yin‎ ‎g$‎. ‎we prove that for $g$ a finite $p^{2}$-abelian $p$-central‎ ‎$p$-group‎, ‎excluding certain cases‎, ‎the order of $g$ divides the‎ ‎order of $text{aut}(g)$‎.
