A group is potent if for any element of the group and any prescribed positive integer (dividing its order if this order is finite) there corresponds a finite homomorphic image of the group in which the element has the prescribed integer as its order. The finite potent groups form a finite variety that contains all finite nilpotent groups, all finite metabelian groups, and precisely one simple group, A5.

If [Formula: see text] is a class of groups, then a group [Formula: see text] is said to be a [Formula: see text]-group, if [Formula: see text] is a [Formula: see text]-group for all [Formula: see text]. This is a generalization of the familiar property of being an [Formula: see text]-group. In the present paper we consider a class [Formula: see text] of soluble-by-finite minimax groups such that [Formula: see text] is a subgroup closed class and if [Formula: see text] is a non-[Formula: see text]-group whose proper subgroups of infinite rank are [Formula: see text]-groups, then there exists a prime [Formula: see text] such that every finite homomorphic image of [Formula: see text] is a cyclic [Formula: see text]-group. Our main result states that if [Formula: see text] is a locally (soluble-by-finite) group of infinite rank which has no simple factor group of infinite rank and if all proper subgroups of [Formula: see text] of infinite rank are [Formula: see text]-groups, then so are all proper subgroups of [Formula: see text]. One can take for [Formula: see text] the class of finite, polycyclic-by-finite, Chernikov, reduced minimax or soluble-by-finite minimax groups.

Let G be a nilpotent group with finite abelian ranks (e.g. let G be a finitely generated nilpotent group) and suppose φ is an automorphism of G of finite order m. If γ and ψ denote the associated maps of G given by \documentclass{aastex} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{bm} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{pifont} \usepackage{stmaryrd} \usepackage{textcomp} \usepackage{upgreek} \usepackage{portland,xspace} \usepackage{amsmath,amsxtra} \usepackage{bbm} \pagestyle{empty} \DeclareMathSizes{10}{9}{7}{6} \begin{document} $$\gamma :g \mapsto g^{ - 1} \cdot g\phi and \psi :g \mapsto g \cdot g\phi \cdot g\phi ^2 \cdots \cdot \cdot g\phi ^{m - 1} for g \in G,$$ \end{document} then Gγ · kerγ and Gψ · ker ψ are both very large in that they contain subgroups of finite index in G.

AbstractIn this paper, we continue the study of powerfully nilpotent groups. These are powerful p-groups possessing a central series of a special kind. To each such group, one can attach a powerful nilpotency class that leads naturally to the notion of a powerful coclass and classification in terms of an ancestry tree. In this paper, we will give a full classification of powerfully nilpotent groups of rank 2. The classification will then be used to arrive at a precise formula for the number of powerfully nilpotent groups of rank 2 and order {p^{n}}. We will also give a detailed analysis of the ancestry tree for these groups. The second part of the paper is then devoted to a full classification of powerfully nilpotent groups of order up to {p^{6}}.

Abstract In this paper, we apply the concept of fuzzy sets to Novikov algebras, and introduce the concepts of L-fuzzy ideals and L-fuzzy subalgebras. We get a sufficient and neccessary condition such that an L-fuzzy subspace is an L-fuzzy ideal. Moreover, we show that the quotient algebra A/μ of the L-fuzzy ideal μ is isomorphic to the algebra A/Aμ of the non-fuzzy ideal Aμ. Finally, we discuss the algebraic properties of surjective homomorphic image and preimage of an L-fuzzy ideal.

AbstractThe function {\mathrm{F}_{G}(n)} gives the maximum order of a finite group needed to distinguish a nontrivial element of G from the identity with a surjective group morphism as one varies over nontrivial elements of word length at most n. In previous work [M. Pengitore, Effective separability of finitely generated nilpotent groups, New York J. Math. 24 2018, 83–145], the author claimed a characterization for {\mathrm{F}_{N}(n)} when N is a finitely generated nilpotent group. However, a counterexample to the above claim was communicated to the author, and consequently, the statement of the asymptotic characterization of {\mathrm{F}_{N}(n)} is incorrect. In this article, we introduce new tools to provide lower asymptotic bounds for {\mathrm{F}_{N}(n)} when N is a finitely generated nilpotent group. Moreover, we introduce a class of finitely generated nilpotent groups for which the upper bound of the above article can be improved. Finally, we construct a class of finitely generated nilpotent groups N for which the asymptotic behavior of {\mathrm{F}_{N}(n)} can be fully characterized.
