We study groups having the property that every non-cyclic subgroup contains its centralizer. The structure of nilpotent and supersolvable groups in this class is described. We also classify finite $p$-groups and finite simple groups with the above defined property.
An explicit formula for the Schur multiplier of the group of unitriangular matrices over products of cyclic rings $\ZZ/m\ZZ$ and $\ZZ$ is derived. We use it to provide presentations of the corresponding covering groups and touch upon the question of finding their nonisomorphic representatives.
We extend the notion of free $p$-central groups for odd primes $p$ to the case $p=2$ by introducing a variant of the lower $p$-central series. This enables us to calculate Schur multipliers of free $p$-central groups. We also prove that for any $p$-central group the exponent of its Schur multiplier divides the exponent of the group, and determine its exponential rank.
