Almost fixed-point-free automorphisms of prime order
Let ϕ be an automorphism of prime order p of the group G with C G(ϕ) finite of order n. We prove the following. If G is soluble of finite rank, then G has a nilpotent characteristic subgroup of finite index and class bounded in terms of p only. If G is a group with finite Hirsch number h, then G has a soluble characteristic subgroup of finite index in G with derived length bounded in terms of p and n only and a soluble characteristic subgroup of finite index in G whose index and derived length are...
Almost free splitters
Let R be a subring of the rationals. We want to investigate self splitting R-modules G, that is, such that . For simplicity we will call such modules splitters (see [10]). Also other names like stones are used (see a dictionary in Ringel’s paper [8]). Our investigation continues [5]. In [5] we answered an open problem by constructing a large class of splitters. Classical splitters are free modules and torsion-free, algebraically compact ones. In [5] we concentrated on splitters which are larger...

Almost-Bieberbach groups with prime order holonomy
The main issue of this paper is an attempt to find a decomposition theorem for infra-nilmanifolds in the same spirit as a result of A. Vasquez for flat Riemannian manifolds. That is: we look for infra-nilmanifolds with prime order holonomy which can be obtained as a fiber space with a non-trivial nilmanifold as fiber and an infra-nilmanifold as its base. In this perspective, we prove the following algebraic result: if E is an almost-Bieberbach group with prime order holonomy,...
Almost-flat modules
We present general properties for almost-flat modules and we prove that a self-small right module is almost flat as a left module over its endomorphism ring if and only if the class of -static modules is closed under the kernels.
Almost-free E(R)-algebras and E(A,R)-modules
Let R be a unital commutative ring and A a unital R-algebra. We introduce the category of E(A,R)-modules which is a natural extension of the category of E-modules. The properties of E(A,R)-modules are studied; in particular we consider the subclass of E(R)-algebras. This subclass is of special interest since it coincides with the class of E-rings in the case R = ℤ. Assuming diamond ⋄, almost-free E(R)-algebras of cardinality κ are constructed for any regular non-weakly compact cardinal κ > ℵ...
A-loops close to code loops are groups
Let be a diassociative A-loop which is centrally nilpotent of class 2 and which is not a group. Then the factor over the centre cannot be an elementary abelian 2-group.

Amenability and Ramsey theory
The purpose of this article is to connect the notion of the amenability of a discrete group with a new form of structural Ramsey theory. The Ramsey-theoretic reformulation of amenability constitutes a considerable weakening of the Følner criterion. As a by-product, it will be shown that in any non-amenable group G, there is a subset E of G such that no finitely additive probability measure on G measures all translates of E equally. The analysis of discrete groups will be generalized to the setting...
Amenability of linear-activity automaton groups
We prove that every linear-activity automaton group is amenable. The proof is based on showing that a random walk on a specially constructed degree 1 automaton group – the mother group – has asymptotic entropy 0. Our result answers an open question by Nekrashevych in the Kourovka notebook, and gives a partial answer to a question of Sidki.
Amenability properties of Figà-Talamanca-Herz algebras on inverse semigroups
This paper continues the joint work with A. R. Medghalchi (2012) and the author’s recent work (2015). For an inverse semigroup S, it is shown that has a bounded approximate identity if and only if l¹(S) is amenable (a generalization of Leptin’s theorem) and that A(S), the Fourier algebra of S, is operator amenable if and only if l¹(S) is amenable (a generalization of Ruan’s theorem).
