Bogomolov Multiplier of Lie algebras

In the work of Rostami et al., the Bogomolov multiplier of a Lie algebra $L$ over a field $Ω$ is defined as a particular factor of a subalgebra of the exterior product $L \wedge L$. If $L$ is finite dimensional, we identify this object as a certain subgroup of the second cohomology group $H^2(L, Ω)$ by deriving a Hopf-Type formula. As an application, we affirmatively answer two questions posed by Kunyavskii regarding the invariance of the Bogomolov multiplier under isoclinism of Lie algebras and the existence of a family of Lie algebras with Bogomolov multipliers of unbounded dimension.

On the order of the Schur multiplier of $p$-groups

We give a bound on the order of the Schur multiplier of $p$-groups refining earlier bounds. As an application we complete the classification of groups having Schur multiplier of maximum order. Finally we prove that the order of the Schur multiplier of a finite $p$-group of maximal class and order $p^n$ is at most $p^{\frac{n}{2}}$.

A note on the order of the Schur multiplier of p-groups

Let $G$ be a finite $p$-group of order $p^n$ with $|G'| = p^k$. Let $M(G)$ denotes the Schur multiplier of $G$. A classical result of Green states that $|M(G)| \leq p^{\frac{1}{2}n(n-1)}$. In 2009, Niroomand, improving Green's and other bounds on $|M(G)|$ for a non-abelain $p$-group $G$, proved that $|M(G)| \leq p^{\frac{1}{2}(n-k-1)(n+k-2)+1}$. In this article we note that a bound, obtained earlier, by Ellis and Weigold is more general than the bound of Niroomand. We derive from the bound of Ellis and Weigold that $|M(G)| \leq p^{\frac{1}{2}(d(G)-1)(n+k-2)+1}$ for a non-abelain $p$-group $G$. Moreover, we sharpen the bound of Ellis and Weigold and as a consequence derive that if $G^{ab}$ is not homocyclic then $|M(G)| \leq p^{\frac{1}{2}(d(G)-1)(n+k-3)+1}$. We further note an improvement in an old bound given by Vermani. Finally we note, for a $p$-group of coclass $r$, that $|M(G)| \leq p^{\frac{1}{2}(r^2-r)+kr+1}$. This improves a bound by Moravec.

On $\CYRSH$-rigidity of groups of order $p^6$

Let $G$ be a group and $Out_c(G)$ be the group of its class-preserving outer automorphisms. We compute $|Out_c(G)|$ for all the group $G$ of order $p^6$, where $p$ is an odd prime. As an application, we observe that if $G$ is a $\CYRSH$-rigid group of order $p^6$, then it's Bogomolov multiplier $B_0(G)$ is zero.

On finite $p$-groups with abelian automorphism group

We construct, for the first time, various types of specific non-special finite $p$-groups having abelian automorphism group. More specifically, we construct groups $G$ with abelian automorphism group such that $γ_2(G) < \mathrm{Z}(G) < Φ(G)$, where $γ_2(G)$, $\mathrm{Z}(G)$ and $Φ(G)$ denote the commutator subgroup, the center and the Frattini subgroup of $G$ respectively. For a finite $p$-group $G$ with elementary abelian automorphism group, we show that at least one of the following two conditions holds true: (i) $\mathrm{Z}(G) = Φ(G)$ is elementary abelian; (ii) $γ_2(G) = Φ(G)$ is elementary abelian, where $p$ is an odd prime. We construct examples to show the existence of groups $G$ with elementary abelian automorphism group for which exactly one of the above two conditions holds true.
