Abstract
We show that limit groups are free-by-(torsion-free nilpotent) and have non-positive Euler characteristic. We prove that for any non-abelian limit group the Bieri–Neumann–Strebel–Renz Σ-invariants are the empty set. Let s ⩾ 3 be a natural number and G be a subdirect product of non-abelian limit groups intersecting each factor non-trivially. We show that the homology groups of any subgroup of finite index in G , in dimension i ⩽ s and with coefficients in ℚ, are finite-dimensional if and only if the projection of G to the direct product of any s of the limit groups has finite index. The case s = 2 is a deep result of M. Bridson, J. Howie, C. F. Miller III and H. Short.

Abstract
We introduce and study a property of groups which could be regarded as a broad generalization of the Cauchy–Davenport theorem and which turns out to be useful in investigation of the intersection of subgroups in free products of groups.

Abstract
The sets of closed and closed-normal subgroups of a profinite group carry a natural profinite topology. Through a combination of algebraic and topological methods the size of these subgroup spaces is calculated, and the spaces partially classified up to homeomorphism.

Abstract
Suppose that N is a normal subgroup of the Chernikov group G such that the direct product of N and G / N is isomorphic to G . We prove that N is a direct factor of G . This extends and uses work of Ayoub on finite groups and supplements work of Nikolov and Segal on polycyclic-by-finite groups.

Abstract
In this paper we study special Moufang sets 𝕄( U , τ ), with U abelian, under the additional restriction that they have finite Morley rank. Our result states that the little projective group of such a Moufang set must be isomorphic to PSL 2 ( K ) for an algebraically closed field K provided that U has characteristic 2 and that infinitely many endomorphisms of U centralize the Hua subgroup. This complements a result of De Medts and Tent that addresses the odd characteristic case.

Abstract
We study the non-abelian tensor square G ⊗ G for the class of groups G that are finitely generated modulo their derived subgroup. In particular, we find conditions on G / G ′ so that G ⊗ G is isomorphic to the direct product of ∇( G ) and the non-abelian exterior square G ∧ G . For any group G , we characterize the non-abelian exterior square G ∧ G in terms of a presentation of G . Finally, we apply our results to some classes of groups, such as the classes of free solvable and free nilpotent groups of finite rank, and some classes of finite p -groups.

Abstract
Admissibility of a subset S ′ of a Coxeter system ( W, S ) is a condition implying that S ′ is the set of Coxeter generators of a Coxeter subgroup W ′ of W , in such a way that the root system of W ′, as permutation set, abstractly embeds in that of W . We give an algorithm determining whether a subset S ′ is admissible, in terms of a (previously known) finite state automaton which is constructed using the set of elementary roots of Brink and Howlett.

Abstract
Any normal reflection subgroup of a Coxeter system ( W, S ) is a factor in a semidirect product decomposition of W as described by Bonnafé and Dyer. Namely, S is the union of two subsets I and J such that no element of I is conjugate to an element of J , is the subgroup generated by W I -conjugates of elements of J , and W is the semidirect product of W I by . This note describes the reduced expressions of elements of the form wxw –1 with w ∈ W I and x ∈ W J in terms of reduced expressions of x and a suitable element of W I .

Abstract
Let G ≔ G 2 ( K ) be a simple algebraic group of type G 2 defined over an algebraically closed field K of characteristic p > 0. Let σ denote a standard Frobenius automorphism of G such that G σ ≅ G 2 ( q ) with q ⩾ 4. In this paper we find all reductive subgroups of G and quasi-simple subgroups of G σ in the defining characteristic. Our results extend the complete reducibility results of [Liebeck and Seitz, Mem. Amer. Math. Soc. 121: 580, 1996, Theorem 1].

Abstract
The generalized symmetric groups are defined to be the groups G ( n, m ) = ℤ m ≀ Σ m where n, m ∈ ℤ + . The strong symmetric genus of a finite group G is the smallest genus of a closed orientable topological surface on which G acts faithfully as a group of orientation-preserving automorphisms. The present paper extends work on the strong symmetric genus by Conder, who studied the symmetric groups, which are the groups G ( n , 1), and the author, who studied the hyperoctahedral groups, which are the groups G ( n , 2). We determine the strong symmetric genus of the groups G ( n , 3).

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to characterize the classes of groups in which every subnormal subgroup is normal, permutable, or S -permutable in terms of the embedding of subgroups (or subgroups of prime-power order) in their normal, permutable, or S -permutable closure.
