On a class of involutive Yang-Baxter groups

Abstract

A group is called an involutive Yang-Baxter group (IYB-group) if it is isomorphic to the permutation group of an involutive, non-degenerate set-theoretic solution of the Yang-Baxter equation. This paper investigates finite soluble groups whose Sylow subgroups have nilpotency class at most two, addressing Cedó and Okniński's question~\cite{CedoOkninski2025} of whether such groups are IYB-groups. We establish that a finite soluble group with Sylow subgroups of class at most two is an IYB-group if its nilpotent residual is $\Q_8$-free. We also prove that a finite soluble group with Sylow subgroups of class at most two and Sylow $2$-subgroups isomorphic to $Q_8$ is an IYB-group.

Margulis-Soifer theorem for one-relator groups

We establish the Margulis-Soifer dichotomy for one-relator groups: every one-relator group is either virtually solvable or has a maximal subgroup of infinite index. We also present examples of one-relator groups with and without free maximal subgroups of infinite index, as well as examples that possess both free and non-free infinite index maximal subgroups. Triviality of the Frattini subgroup is also shown for all non-solvable one-relator groups. We close the paper with a short list of questions.

Finite quotients of spherical Artin groups

We show the smallest non-abelian quotients of spherical and affine Artin groups are isomorphic to the smallest non-abelian quotients of the corresponding Coxeter groups. We deduce irreducible spherical Artin groups are determined by their finite quotient groups.

Cosets with constant characteristic polynomial

Let H be a linear group. We show that if there is an invertible matrix x such that all the elements of xH share the same characteristic polynomial then H is virtually solvable. There are plenty of applications that will be presented in future paper. Here, we discuss some applications to the generalized Weigold conjecture and present an alternative straightforward proof of the Formanek--Procesi nonlinearity theorem for Aut(F_n), n>2, over every field. When n>5 our non-linearity proof gives a stronger result than the original Formanek--Procesi theorem.
