    embedding of finite groups into product
                The answer is no, unless you restrict somehow the prime divisors of $|G_i|$. Take $G_i = \mathbb{Z}/p_i$ where $p_i$ is the $i$-th prime number. Take $K$ to be the trivial subgroup. Now, if you have s …

    To calculate $Tor_1^G(\mathbb{Z},N_{ab})$ and $Tor_1^Q(\mathbb{Z},N_{ab})$
                One possible solution would be to use a long exact sequence in homology arising from a short exact sequence in the following way: the group $N$ has order $p^a$ for some $a$. Therefore, $\textit{as a $ …

    Number of homomorphism, or number of solution to equations, in finite groups
                Let $G$ be a finite group, and let $P$ be a finitely generated group.
Consider the number $$n=\#Hom_{Grp}(P,G).$$
It is known (see Number of solutions to equations in finite groups) that under relativ …

    Number of generators for the Schur multiplier of a finite group
                Let $G$ be a finite group, and let $M(G)=H_2(G,\mathbb{Z})$ be its Schur multiplier. Are there any known bounds on the number of generators of $M(G)$ in terms of $G$? For example, if $G$ is abelian of …

    Generalization of a lemma of Livne
                The answer is yes. First, notice that if $\phi:G\rightarrow G'$ is an epimorphism of 2-groups, then $\phi(N_4(G)) = N_4(G')$. Let now $H$ be the group in your statement. Assume that $N_4(H)$ is nontri …

                In the spectral sequence, notice that by the remarks of YCor and Derek Holt, it is almost trivial: since the orders of $Z/4$ and $Z/3$ are prime to each other, all homology groups of the form $H_p(Z/4 …

    lifting of idempotents in group ring
                Let $G$ be a finite group, and let $\pi:G\to Q$ be a surjective group homomophism. The map $\pi:G\to Q$ does not necessarily split, but we can always find a set theoretical splitting $s:Q\to G$. In ot …

    Orthogonal idempotents with sum equal to 1 in $k[G]$ span sub-Hopf algebra

    Involutive automorphisms of a finite abelian p-group
                There is a big difference between the case $p=2$ and $p\neq 2$. 
If $p\neq 2$ then $A$ will be the direct sum of $(\mathbb{Z}/p^n,1)$ and $\mathbb{Z}/p^n,-1)$ for some $n$.
In this case all the indeco …

    Which finite groups have no irreducible representations other than characters?
