Unique product group which is not right orderable

Every U.P. group is a t.u.p group. See Andrzej Strojnowski, A note on u.p. groups, Communications in Algebra, 8:3, (1980) 231-234. doi:10.1080/00927878008822456

Local vs global nilpotence class (Lazard correspondence)

This is not a complete answer (only gives the answer for p=2,3,5) but it is also too long to add as a comment! Known results concerning similar questions as yours suggest that the nilpotency class of …

Is there a non-right-orderable torsion-free quotient group of the braid group on 3 strands?

The braid group on 3 strands has the presentation $\langle x,y \;|\; xyx=yxy\rangle$. A group $G$ is called right-orderable if there is a total order $<$ on the set $G$ such that if $a<b$ then $ac<bc$ …

Finitely generated solvable groups all of whose abelian normal subgroups are finite

Is there a classification for infinite finitely generated solvable groups all of whose abelian normal subgroups are finite? I mean by classification something like presentation. Edited: Is there an …

Non-zero homomorphism from a module to its ground ring

Let $c_1,\dots,c_k$ be some non-zero complex numbers and $M$ be the abelian subgroup generated by $c_1,\dots,c_k$ (i.e. all $\mathbb{Z}$-linear combinations of $c_1\dots,c_k$). Suppose further that $\ …

Zero divisors with support size 3 in complex group algebras of residually finite groups

Conjecture. There exists a function $f:\mathbb{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{N}$ such that if $\beta$ is a non-zero element of the complex group algebra $\mathbb{C}[G]$ of a finite group $G$ such that $1\i …

Laws characterizing the trivial group

Every word $w$ on free generators $x_1,\dots,x_n$ can be written as $$w=x_1^{\alpha_1} \cdots x_n^{\alpha_n} c(x_1,\dots,x_n),$$ where $c$ is a word in the commutator subgroup of $\langle x_1,\dots,x …

Smallest subgroups with trivial centralizer?

The number $k(G)$ is the domination number of the non-commuting graph of $G$. See Proposition 2.14 of [J. Algebra, 298 (2006) 468–492]. By Corollary 2.17 of [J. Algebra, 298 (2006) 468–492], if $k(H …

Classification of $p$-groups, what after it?

The answer is positive: since one must give a classification of at least one types of finite $p$-groups which I suggest to consider the classification of finite $p$-groups having a maximal subgroup w …
