AbstractWe determine all the normal subgroups of the group of Cr diffeomorphisms of ℝn, 1≤r≤∞, except when r=n+1 or n=4, and also of the group of homeomorphisms of ℝn ( r=0). We also study the group A0 of diffeomorphisms of an open manifold M that are isotopic to the identity. If M is the interior of a compact manifold with non-empty boundary, then the quotient of A0 by the normal subgroup of diffeomorphisms that coincide with the identity near to a given end e of M is simple.

The theory of generalized Frattini subgroups of a finite group is continued in this paper. Several equivalent conditions are given for a proper normal subgroup H of a finite group G to be a generalized Frattini subgroup of G. One such condition on H is that K is nilpotent for each normal subgroup K of G such that K/H is nilpotent. From this result, it follows that the weakly hyper-central normal subgroups of a finite non-nilpotent group G are generalized Frattini subgroups of G.Let H be a generalized Frattini subgroup of G and let K be a subnormal subgroup of G which properly contains H. Then H is a generalized Frattini subgroup of K.Let ϕ(G) be the Frattini subgroup of G. Suppose that G/ϕ(G) is nonnilpotent, but every proper subgroup of G/ϕ(G) is nilpotent. Then ϕ(G) is the unique maximal generalized Frattini subgroup of G.

AbstractLet G be a group factorized by finitely many pairwise permutable nilpotent subgroups. The aim of this paper is to find conditions under which at least one of the factors is contained in a proper normal subgroup of G.

We construct the first examples of normal subgroups of mapping class groups that are isomorphic to non-free right-angled Artin groups. Our construction also gives normal, non-free right-angled Artin subgroups of other groups, such as braid groups and pure braid groups, as well as many subgroups of the mapping class group, such as the Torelli subgroup. Our work recovers and generalizes the seminal result of Dahmani–Guirardel–Osin, which gives free, purely pseudo-Anosov normal subgroups of mapping class groups. We give two applications of our methods: (1) we produce an explicit proper normal subgroup of the mapping class group that is not contained in any level $m$ congruence subgroup and (2) we produce an explicit example of a pseudo-Anosov mapping class with the property that all of its even powers have free normal closure and its odd powers normally generate the entire mapping class group. The technical theorem at the heart of our work is a new version of the windmill apparatus of Dahmani–Guirardel–Osin, which is tailored to the setting of group actions on the projection complexes of Bestvina–Bromberg–Fujiwara.

We investigate the influence of some natural types of subgroups on the structure of groups. A subgroup H of a group G is called contranormal in G, if G = HG. A subgroup H of a group G is called core-free in G, if CoreG(H) =〈1〉. We study the groups, in which every non-normal subgroup is either contranormal or core-free. In particular, we obtain the structure of some monolithic and non-monolithic groups with this property

The normal embedding problem of finite solvable groups into [Formula: see text]-groups was studied. It was proved that for a finite solvable group [Formula: see text], if [Formula: see text] has a special normal nilpotent Hall subgroup, then [Formula: see text] cannot be a normal subgroup of any [Formula: see text]-group; on the other hand, if [Formula: see text] has a maximal normal subgroup which is an [Formula: see text]-group, then [Formula: see text] can occur as a normal subgroup of an [Formula: see text]-group under some suitable conditions. The results generalize the normal embedding theorem on solvable minimal non-[Formula: see text]-groups to arbitrary [Formula: see text]-groups due to van der Waall, and also cover the famous counterexample given by Dade and van der Waall independently to the Dornhoff’s conjecture which states that normal subgroups of arbitrary [Formula: see text]-groups must be [Formula: see text]-groups.

Abstract Consider an algebraically closed field ${\textbf{k}}$, and let $\textsf{Cr}_2({\textbf{k}})$ be the Cremona group of all birational transformations of the projective plane over ${\textbf{k}}$. We characterize infinite order elements $g\in \textsf{Cr}_2({\textbf{k}})$ having a power $g^n$, $n\neq 0$, generating a proper normal subgroup of $\textsf{Cr}_2({\textbf{k}})$.

AbstractWe extend earlier work relating asphericity and Euler characteristics for finite complexes whose fundamental groups have nontrivial torsion free abelian normal subgroups. In particular a finitely presentable group which has a nontrivial elementary amenable subgroup whose finite subgroups have bounded order and with no nontrivial finite normal subgroup must have deficiency at most 1, and if it has a presentation of deficiency 1 then the corresponding 2-complex is aspherical. Similarly if the fundamental group of a closed 4-manifold with Euler characteristic 0 is virtually torsion free and elementary amenable then it either has 2 ends or is virtually an extension of Z by a subgroup of Q, or the manifold is asphencal and the group is virtually poly- Z of Hirsch length 4.

Let G be a finite group and let N be a normal subgroup of G. Assume that N is the union of ξ(N) distinct conjugacy classes of G. In this paper, we classify solvable groups G in which the set [Formula: see text] has at most three elements. We also compute the set [Formula: see text] in most cases.

The tabulation of normal subgroups of 3D crystallographic space groups that are themselves 3D crystallographic space groups (csg's) is an ambitious goal, but would have a variety of applications. For convenience, such subgroups are referred to as `csg-normal' while normal subgroups of the crystallographic point group (cpg) of a crystallographic space group are referred to as `cpg-normal'. The point group of a csg-normal subgroup must be a cpg-normal subgroup. The present work takes a significant step towards that goal by tabulating the translational subgroups (a.k.a. sublattices) that are capable of supporting csg-normal subgroups. Two necessary conditions are identified on the relative sublattice basis that must be met in order for the sublattice to support csg-normal subgroups: one depends on the operations of the point group of the space group, while the other depends on the operations of the cpg-normal subgroup. Sublattices that meet these conditions are referred to as `normally supportive'. For each cpg-normal subgroup (excluding the identity subgroup 1) of each of the arithmetic crystal classes of 3D space groups, all of the normally supportive sublattices have been tabulated in symbolic form, such that most of the entries in the table contain one or more integer variables of infinite range; thus it could be more accurately described as a table of the infinite families of normally supportive sublattices. For a given pair of cpg-normal subgroup and normally supportive sublattice, csg-normal subgroups of the space groups of the parent arithmetic crystal class can be constructed via group extension, though in general such a pair does not guarantee the existence of a corresponding csg-normal subgroup.
