On strong uniform dimension of locally finite groups

A. Sakowicz (2003)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We give the description of locally finite groups with strongly balanced subgroup lattices and we prove that the strong uniform dimension of such groups exists. Moreover we show how to determine this dimension.

On the Boffa alternative

B. Bajorska, O. Macedońska (2001)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Let G* denote a nonprincipal ultrapower of a group G. In 1986 M.~Boffa posed a question equivalent to the following one: if G does not satisfy a positive law, does G* contain a free nonabelian subsemigroup? We give the affirmative answer to this question in the large class of groups containing all residually finite and all soluble groups, in fact, all groups considered in traditional textbooks on group theory.

On the Cantor-Bendixson rank of metabelian groups

Yves Cornulier (2011)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We study the Cantor-Bendixson rank of metabelian and virtually metabelian groups in the space of marked groups, and in particular, we exhibit a sequence ( G n ) of 2-generated, finitely presented, virtually metabelian groups of Cantor-Bendixson rank  ω n .
