Is $S_\omega/F_\omega$ embeddable to $S_\omega$?
Let $S_\omega$ be the group of bijections $f:\omega\to\omega$, and let $F_\omega = \{\pi\in S_\omega: \exists N\in \omega(\pi(k) = k \text{ for all } k\geq N)\}$. It is easy to see that $F_\omega$ is ...

Groups with all normal subgroups characteristic
Today in my research, I had to use fairly explicitly the rather tautological property of finite cyclic groups that every normal subgroup is characteristic, i.e. fixed by all automorphisms. This got me ...

Normal subgroups of braid groups
There is a lot of normal subgroups in braid groups (for example there is an action of $B_n$ on unitriangular bilinear forms on $R^n$ over arbitrary commutative ring $R$: $b_i\colon e_j\mapsto e_j$, $j\...

Normal Covering of a Finite Group
Suppose $G$ is a finite group and $N_1, N_2, \cdots, N_k$ are proper normal subgroups of $G$. The set $\{ N_1, \cdots, N_k\}$ is called a normal cover for $G$, if $G = \cup_{i=1}^kN_i$. I need to the ...

Subgroups of $\operatorname{PGL}_n$
As algebraic groups over an algebraically closed field $K$ of characteristic not $2$, $\operatorname{GO}_{2n}$ is a closed normal subgroup of the conformal orthogonal group $\operatorname{CO}_{2n}$. ...
