• Maximal and Submaximal ð”›-Subgroups
• Authors: W. Guo; D. O. Revin
Pages: 9 - 28
Abstract: Let ð”› be a class of finite groups closed under taking subgroups, homomorphic images, and extensions. Following H. Wielandt, we call a subgroup H of a finite group G a submaximal ð”›-subgroup if there exists an isomorphic embedding ϕ : G ↪ G * of G into some finite group G * under which G ϕ is subnormal in G * and H ϕ = K ∩ G ϕ for some maximal ð”›-subgroup K of G * . In the case where ð”› coincides with the class of all π-groups for some set π of prime numbers, submaximal ð”›-subgroups are called submaximal π-subgroups. In his talk at the well-known conference on finite groups in Santa Cruz in 1979, Wielandt emphasized the importance of studying submaximal π-subgroups, listed (without proof) certain of their properties, and formulated a number of open questions regarding these subgroups. Here we prove properties of maximal and submaximal ð”›- and π-subgroups and discuss some open questions both Wielandt’s and new ones. One of such questions due to Wielandt reads as follows: Is it always the case that all submaximal ð”›-subgroups are conjugate in a finite group G in which all maximal ð”›-subgroups are conjugate'

• Divisible Rigid Groups. II. Stability, Saturation, and Elementary
Submodels
• Authors: A. G. Myasnikov; N. S. Romanovskii
Pages: 29 - 38
Abstract: A group G is said to be rigid if it contains a normal series G = G1 > G2 > . . . > G m > Gm+1 = 1, whose quotients G i /Gi+1 are Abelian and, treated as right ℤ[G/G i ]- modules, are torsion-free. A rigid group G is divisible if elements of the quotient G i /Gi+1 are divisible by nonzero elements of the ring ℤ[G/G i ]. Every rigid group is embedded in a divisible one. Previously, it was stated that the theory ð”— m of divisible m-rigid groups is complete. Here, it is proved that this theory is ω-stable. Furthermore, we describe saturated models, study elementary submodels of an arbitrary model, and find a representation for a countable saturated model in the form of a limit group in the Fraïssé system of all finitely generated m-rigid groups. Also, it is proved that the theory ð”— m admits quantifier elimination down to a Boolean combination of ∀∃-formulas.

• Rationality of Verbal Subsets in Solvable Groups
• Authors: V. A. Roman’kov
Pages: 39 - 48
Abstract: A verbal subset of a group G is a set w[G] of all values of a group word w in this group. We consider the question whether verbal subsets of solvable groups are rational in the sense of formal language theory. It is proved that every verbal subset w[N] of a finitely generated nilpotent group N with respect to a word w with positive exponent is rational. Also we point out examples of verbal subsets of finitely generated metabelian groups that are not rational.

• Separability of Schur Rings over Abelian p -Groups
• Authors: G. K. Ryabov
Pages: 49 - 68
Abstract: A Schur ring (an S-ring) is said to be separable if each of its algebraic isomorphisms is induced by an isomorphism. Let C n be the cyclic group of order n. It is proved that all S-rings over groups $$D={C}_p\times {C}_{p^k}$$ , where p ∈ {2, 3} and k ≥ 1, are separable with respect to a class of S-rings over Abelian groups. From this statement, we deduce that a given Cayley graph over D and a given Cayley graph over an arbitrary Abelian group can be checked for isomorphism in polynomial time with respect to D .

• Centralizer Dimensions of Partially Commutative Metabelian Groups
• Authors: E. I. Timoshenko
Pages: 69 - 80
Abstract: We establish an upper bound for the centralizer dimension of a partially commutative metabelian group that depends linearly on the number of vertices in a defining graph. It is proved that centralizer dimensions of 2-generated metabelian groups are not bounded above. The exact value of the centralizer dimension is computed for a partially commutative metabelian group defined by a cycle.

• Periodic Groups Saturated with Finite Simple Groups of Lie Type of Rank 1
• Authors: A. A. Shlepkin
Pages: 81 - 86
Abstract: A group G is saturated with groups from a set ℜ of groups if every finite subgroup of G is contained in a subgroup of G that is isomorphic to some group in ℜ. Previously [Kourovka Notebook, Quest. 14.101], the question was posed whether a periodic group saturated with finite simple groups of Lie type whose ranks are bounded in totality is itself a simple group of Lie type. A partial answer to this question is given for groups of Lie type of rank 1. We prove the following: Let a periodic group G be saturated with finite simple groups of Lie type of rank 1. Then G is isomorphic to a simple group of Lie type of rank 1 over a suitable locally finite field.

• Locally Finite Suzuki–Higman 2-Groups
• Authors: N. M. Suchkov
Abstract: We prove the following theorem. Let U be a locally finite Suzuki–Higman 2-group with respect to an automorphism group H. Then U and H are representable as the respective unions of ascending chains of finite subgroups U1 < U2 < . . . < U n < . . . and H1 < H2 < . . . < H n < . . ., in which case every subgroup U n is a Suzuki 2-group with respect to H n .

• Polygons with a ( P, 1)-Stable Theory
• Authors: D. O. Ptakhov
Abstract: Polygons with a (P, 1)-stable theory are considered. A criterion of being (P, 1)-stable for a polygon is established. As a consequence of the main criterion we prove that a polygon SS, where S is a group, is (P, 1)-stable if and only if S is a finite group. It is shown that the class of all polygons with monoid S is (P, 1)-stable only if S is a one-element monoid. (P, 1)-stability criteria are presented for polygons over right and left zero monoids.

• Pronormality of Hall Subgroups in Their Normal Closure
• Authors: E. P. Vdovin; M. N. Nesterov; D. O. Revin
Abstract: It is known that for any set π of prime numbers, the following assertions are equivalent: (1) in any finite group, π-Hall subgroups are conjugate; (2) in any finite group, π-Hall subgroups are pronormal. It is proved that (1) and (2) are equivalent also to the following: (3) in any finite group, π-Hall subgroups are pronormal in their normal closure. Previously [10, Quest. 18.32], the question was posed whether it is true that in a finite group, π-Hall subgroups are always pronormal in their normal closure. Recently, M. N. Nesterov [7] proved that assertion (3) and assertions (1) and (2) are equivalent for any finite set π. The fact that there exist examples of finite sets π and finite groups G such that G contains more than one conjugacy class of π-Hall subgroups gives a negative answer to the question mentioned. Our main result shows that the requirement of finiteness for π is unessential for (1), (2), and (3) to be equivalent.

• Nonpresentability of Some Structures of Analysis in Hereditarily Finite
Superstructures
• Authors: A. S. Morozov
Abstract: It is proved that any countable consistent theory with infinite models has a Σ-presentable model of cardinality 2ω over ℍð”½(ℝ). It is shown that some structures studied in analysis (in particular, a semigroup of continuous functions, certain structures of nonstandard analysis, and infinite-dimensional separable Hilbert spaces) have no simple Σ-presentations in hereditarily finite superstructures over existentially Steinitz structures. The results are proved by a unified method on the basis of a new general sufficient condition.

• Structures Computable in Polynomial Time. II
• Authors: P. E. Alaev
Abstract: We consider a new approach to investigating categoricity of structures computable in polynomial time. The approach is based on studying polynomially computable stable relations. It is shown that this categoricity is equivalent to the usual computable categoricity for computable Boolean algebras with computable set of atoms, and for computable linear orderings with computable set of adjacent pairs. Examples are constructed which show that this does not always hold. We establish a connection between dimensions based on computable and polynomially computable stable relations.

• Strong Decidability and Strong Recognizability
• Authors: L. L. Maksimova; V. F. Yun
Pages: 370 - 385
Abstract: Extensions of Johansson’s minimal logic J are considered. It is proved that families of negative and nontrivial logics and a series of other families are strongly decidable over J. This means that, given any finite list Rul of axiom schemes and rules of inference, we can effectively verify whether the logic with axioms and schemes, J + Rul, belongs to a given family. Strong recognizability over J is proved for known logics Neg, Gl, and KC as well as for logics LC and NC and all their extensions.

Abstract: We consider the possibility for separating by hyperidentities clones of quasilinear functions defined on the set {0, 1, 2} with values in the set {0, 1}. It is proved that every creative clone of this kind can be separated by a hyperidentity from any noncreative clone comparable with it.
