Baer characterized capable finite abelian groups (a group is capable if it is isomorphic to the quotient of some group by its center) by a condition on the size of the factors in the invariant factor decomposition (the group must be noncyclic and the top two invariant factors must be equal). We provide a different characterization, given in terms of a condition on the lattice of subgroups. Namely, a finite abelian group G is capable if and only if there exists a family {H_i} of subgroups of G with trivial intersection, such that the union generates G and all the quotients G/H_i have the same exponent. The condition that the family of subgroups generates G may be replaced by the condition that the family covers G and the condition that the quotients have the same exponent may be replaced by the condition that the quotients are isomorphic.
In this paper we determine all finitely generated abelian groups which are varietal capable with respect to the variety of polynilpotent groups. This result is a vast generalization of the famous Baer's result about capability of finitely generated abelian groups.
We present an explicit structure for the Baer invariant of a finitely generated abelian group with respect to the variety $[\mathfrak{N}_{c_1},\mathfrak{N}_{c_2}]$, for all $c_2\leq c_1\leq 2c_2$. As a consequence we determine necessary and sufficient conditions for such groups to be $[\mathfrak{N}_{c_1},\mathfrak{N}_{c_2}]$-capable. We also show that if $c_1\neq 1\neq c_2$, then a finitely generated abelian group is $[\mathfrak{N}_{c_1},\mathfrak{N}_{c_2}]$-capable if and only if it is capable. Finally we show that $\mathfrak{S}_2$-capability implies capability but there is a finitely generat…
In this article we present an extensive survey on the developments in the theory of non-abelian finite groups with abelian automorphism groups, and pose some problems and further research directions.
We will show that every element of a finitely generated abelian group is automorphically equivalent what we will define to be a {\em representative element} in a {\em repeat-free subgroup}, and for finite abelian groups we can count the number of automorphism classes of elements.
In this short note we give a formula for the factorization number $F_2(G)$ of a finite rank $3$ abelian $p$-group $G$. This extends a result in our previous work \cite{9}.
The commuting graph of a non-abelian group is a simple graph in which the vertices are the non-central elements of the group, and two distinct vertices are adjacent if and only if they commute. In this paper, we classify (up to isomorphism) all finite non-abelian groups whose commuting graphs are acyclic, planar or toroidal. We also derive explicit formulas for the genus of the commuting graphs of some well-known class of finite non-abelian groups, and show that, every collection of finite non-abelian groups whose commuting graphs have the same genus is finite.
Recently, the authors gave some conditions under which a direct product of finitely many groups is $\mathcal{V}-$capable if and only if each of its factors is $\mathcal{V}-$capable for some varieties $\mathcal{V}$. In this paper, we extend this fact to any infinite direct product of groups. Moreover, we conclude some results for $\mathcal{V}-$capability of direct products of infinitely many groups in varieties of abelian, nilpotent and polynilpotent groups.
The main goal of the current paper is to determine the total number of diamonds in the subgroup lattice of a finite abelian group. This counting problem is reduced to finite $p$-groups. Explicit formulas are obtained in some particular cases.
We show that finitely generated Abelian groups admit equal growth functions with respect to symmetric generating sets if and only if they have the same rank and the torsion parts have the same parity. In contrast, finitely generated Abelian groups admit equal growth functions with respect to monoid generating sets if and only if they have same rank. Moreover, we show that the size of the torsion part is in fact determined by the set of all growth functions of a finitely generated Abelian group.
We discuss various methods and their effectiveness for solving linear equations over finitely generated abelian groups. More precisely, if $φ\colon G\to H$ is a homomorphism of finitely generated abelian groups and $b\in H$, we discuss various algorithms for checking whether $b\in \imφ$ holds and if so, for computing a pre-image of $b$ in $G$ together with the kernel of $φ$.
We consider abelain subgroups of small index in finite groups. More generally, we consider subgroups such that the product of their index by the index of their centralizer is small.
We show that every finitely generated nilpotent group of class 2 occurs as the quotient of a finitely presented abelian-by-nilpotent group by its largest nilpotent normal subgroup.
In this note, we give a new formula for the number of cyclic subgroups of a finite abelian group. This is based on applying the Burnside's lemma to a certain group action. Also, it generalizes the well-known Menon's identity.
In this paper we obtain an explicit formula for the higher Schur-multiplicator of an arbitrary finite abelian group with respect to the variety of nilpotent groups of class at most $c\geq 1$ .
In this paper we define Ordered Generating System for finite non-abelian groups, which is a generalization of the basis theorem for finite abelian groups. We prove the following: If each composition factor of a group G has Ordered Generating System, then G has Ordered Generating System as well. Hence, it remains to prove that every finite simple group has Ordered Generating System. In this paper we prove that the sporadic group of Mathieu has the property of Ordered Generating System.
In this paper, we discuss about finite groups in which, CGH = NGH, for every abelian subgroup H of non prime power order. Also, we classify all such nilpotent and minimal non nilpotent groups.
We construct a simplified resolution for the trivial G-module Z, where G is a finite abelian group, and compare it with the standard resolution. We use it to calculate cohomologies of irreducible G-lattices and their duals.
Let $G$ be a group. We denote by $ν(G)$ an extension of the non-abelian tensor square $G \otimes G$ by $G \times G$. We prove that if $G$ is finite-by-nilpotent, then the non-abelian tensor square $G \otimes G$ is finite-by-nilpotent. Moreover, $ν(G)$ is nilpotent-by-finite (Theorem A). Also we characterize BFC-groups in terms of $ν(G)$ (Theorem B).
In this paper, we finished the classification of three-generator finite $p$-groups $G$ such that $Φ(G)\le Z(G)$. This paper is a part of classification of finite $p$-groups with a minimal non-abelian subgroup of index $p$, and partly solved a problem proposed by Y. Berkovich.
The main goal of this paper is to apply the arithmetic method developed in our previous paper \cite{13} to determine the number of some types of subgroups of finite abelian groups.
We prove that the class of nilpotent by finite, solvable by finite, polycyclic by finite, nilpotent of nilpotency class $n$ and supersolvable groups are closed under the formation of the non-abelian tensor product. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the non-abelian tensor product of finitely generated groups to be finitely generated. We prove that central extensions of most finite simple groups have trivial Bogomolov multiplier.
Let $A$ be a finite rank torsion--free abelian group. Then there exist direct decompositions $A=B\oplus C$ where $B$ is completely decomposable and $C$ has no rank 1 direct summand. In such a decomposition $B$ is unique up to isomorphism and $C$ unique up to near-isomorphism.
We say that a subgroup $H$ is isolated in a group $G$ if for every $x\in G$ we have either $x\in H$ or $\langle x\rangle\cap H=1$. In this short note, we describe the set of isolated subgroups of a finite abelian group. The technique used is based on an interesting connection between isolated subgroups and the function sum of element orders of a finite group.
In this short note we give a formula for the number of chains of subgroups of a finite elementary abelian $p$-group. This completes our previous work [5].
Presentations for the holomorphs of abelian groups of the form $C_{p^n} \times 1^{m}$ for $p$=2 or an odd prime are given. These presentations extend the results given in Burnside's well-known text on finite groups on the holomorphs for the cyclic groups of orders $p^n$ for $p$ being an odd or even prime.
Let $G$ be a finite group and assume $p$ is a prime dividing the order of $G$. Suppose for any such $p$, that every two abelian $p$-subgroups of $G$ of equal order are conjugate. The structure of such a group $G$ has been settled in this article.
By using finiteness related result of non-abelian tensor product we prove finiteness conditions for the homotopy groups $π_n(X)$ in terms of the number of tensors. In particular, we establish a quantitative version of the classical Blakers-Massey triad connectivity theorem. Moreover, we study others finiteness conditions and equivalence properties that arise from the non-abelian tensor square. In the end, we give applications to homotopy pushout, especially in the case of Eilenberg-MacLane spaces.
Let $G$ be a group. We denote by $ν(G)$ a certain extension of the non-abelian tensor square $G \otimes G$ by $G \times G$. We prove that if $G$ is a finitely generated group in which the set of all simple tensors $T_{\otimes}(G)$ is finite, then the non-abelian tensor square $G \otimes G$ and the group $ν(G)$ are finite. Moreover, we show that if $G$ is a locally residually finite group in which the set of simple tensors $T_{\otimes}(H)$ is finite for every proper finitely generated subgroup $H$ of $G$, then the group $ν(G)$ is locally finite.
In this article, we compute the Schur multiplier, non-abelian tensor square and exterior square of non-abelian $p$-groups of order $p^5$. As an application we determine the capability of groups of order $p^5$.
In this paper, we present an explicit formula for the Baer invariant of a finitely generated abelian group with respect to the variety of polynilpotent groups of class row $(c_1,...,c_t)$, ${\cal N}_{c_1,...,c_t}$. In particular, one can obtain an explicit structure of the $\ell$-solvable multiplier (the Baer invariant with respect to the vaiety of solvable groups of length at most $\ell\geq 1,\ {\cal S}_{\ell}$.) of a finitely generated abelian group.
In this paper, we characterize finite group $G$ with unique proper non-abelian element centralizer. This improves \cite[Theorem 1.1]{nab}. Among other results, we have proved that if $C(a)$ is the proper non-abelian element centralizer of $G$ for some $a \in G$, then $\frac{C(a)}{Z(G)}$ is the Fitting subgroup of $\frac{G}{Z(G)}$, $C(a)$ is the Fitting subgroup of $G$ and $G' \in C(a)$, where $G'$ is the commutator subgroup of $G$.
We extend the concepts of antimorphism and antiautomorphism of the additive group of integers modulo $n$, given by Gaitanas Konstantinos, to abelian groups. We give a lower bound for the number of antiautomorphisms of cyclic groups of odd order and give an exact formula for the number of linear antiautomorphisms of cyclic groups of odd order. Finally, we give a partial classification of the finite abelian groups which admit antiautomorphisms and state some open questions.
Given a finite group $G$, we denote by $ψ\,'(G)$ the product of element orders of $G$. Our main result proves that the restriction of $ψ\,'$ to abelian $p$-groups of order $p^n$ is strictly increasing with respect to a natural order on the groups relating to the lexicographic order of the partitions of $n$. In particular, we infer that two finite abelian groups of the same order are isomorphic if and only if they have the same product of element orders.
We classify abelian subgroups of Out(F_n) up to finite index in an algorithmic and computationally friendly way. A process called disintegration is used to canonically decompose a single rotationless element ϕinto a composition of finitely many elements and then use these elements to generate an abelian subgroup A(ϕ) that contains ϕ. The main theorem is that up to finite index every abelian subgroup is realized by this construction. As an application we classify, up to finite index, abelian subgroups of Out(F_n) and of IA with maximal rank.
For every finite abelian group $G$, there are positive integers $n$ and $d$ such that $G$ is isomorphic to the multiplicative group of $d$-th powers of reduced residues modulo $n$.
We give an accessible and modern description of the automorphisms of a finite abelian group $G$. Included is an explicit formula for the cardinality of $Aut(G)$.
We discuss the possibility of lifting finite subgroups, and in particular finite cyclic subgroups, with respect to the canonical projections between automorphism and outer automorphism groups of free groups, surface groups and their abelianizations.
Here we present a working framework to establish finite abelian groups in python. The primary aim is to allow new A-level students to work with examples of finite abelian groups using open source software. We include the code used in the implementation of the framework. We also prove some useful results regarding finite abelian groups which are used to establish the functions and help show how number theoretic results can blend with computational power when studying algebra. The groups established are based modular multiplication and addition. We include direct products of cyclic groups meanin…
We show that Cayley graphs of finitely generated Abelian groups are rather rigid. As a consequence we obtain that two finitely generated Abelian groups admit isomorphic Cayley graphs if and only if they have the same rank and their torsion parts have the same cardinality. The proof uses only elementary arguments and is formulated in a geometric language.
Suppose a group $G$ is quasi-isometric to a free product of a finite set $S$ of finitely generated abelian groups; let $S'$ denote the set of ranks of the free abelian parts of the groups in $S$. Then $G$ is commensurable with the free product of $\Z$ with a $\Z^n$ for each $n$ occurring in $S'$.
Left braces, introduced by Rump, have turned out to provide an important tool in the study of set theoretic solutions of the quantum Yang-Baxter equation. In particular, they have allowed to construct several new families of solutions. A left brace $(B,+,\cdot )$ is a structure determined by two group structures on a set $B$: an abelian group $(B,+)$ and a group $(B,\cdot)$, satisfying certain compatibility conditions. The main result of this paper shows that every finite abelian group $A$ is a subgroup of the additive group of a finite simple left brace $B$ with metabelian multiplicative grou…
Let $H$ be an abelian subgroup of a finite group $G$ and $π$ the set of prime divisors of $|H|$. We prove that $|H O_π(G)/ O_π(G)|$ is bounded above by the largest character degree of $G$. A similar result is obtained when $H$ is nilpotent.

We prove by using simple number-theoretic arguments formulae concerning the number of elements of a fixed order and the number of cyclic subgroups of a direct product of several finite cyclic groups. We point out that certain multiplicative properties of related counting functions for finite Abelian groups are immediate consequences of these formulae.
The MOR cryptosystem is a natural generalization of the El-Gamal cryptosystem to non-abelian groups. Using a $p$-group, a cryptosystem was built by this author in 'A simple generalization of El-Gamal cryptosystem to non-abelian groups'. It seems reasonable to assume the cryptosystem is as secure as the El-Gamal cryptosystem over finite fields. A natural question arises can one make a better cryptosystem using $p$-groups? In this paper we show that the answer is no.
Let $G$ be a non-abelian group and $Z(G)$ be the center of $G$. Associate a graph $Γ_G$ (called non-commuting graph of $G$) with $G$ as follows: take $G\setminus Z(G)$ as the vertices of $Γ_G$ and join two distinct vertices $x$ and $y$, whenever $xy\neq yx$. Here, we prove that "the commutativity pattern of a finite non-abelian $p$-group determine its order among the class of groups"; this means that if $P$ is a finite non-abelian $p$-group such that $Γ_P\cong Γ_H$ for some group $H$, then $|P|=|H|$.
The \textbf{Co-Prime Order Graph} $Θ(G)$ of a given finite group is a simple undirected graph whose vertex set is the group $G$ itself, and any two vertexes x,y in $Θ(G)$ are adjacent if and only if $gcd(o(x),o(y))=1$ or prime. In this paper, we find a precise formula to count the degree of a vertex in the Co-Prime Order graph of a finite abelian group or Dihedral group $D_n$.We also investigate the Laplacian spectrum of the Co-Prime Order Graph $Θ(G)$ when G is finite abelian p-group, ${\mathbb{Z}_p}^t \times {\mathbb{Z}_q}^s$ or Dihedral group $D_{p^n}$. Key Words and Phrases: Co-Prime Order…
