 Remarks on certain metaplectic groups We study metaplectic coverings of the adelized group of a split connected reductive group $G$ over a number field $F$. Assume its derived group $G'$ is a simply connected simple Chevalley group. The purpose is to provide some naturally defined sections for the coverings with good properties which might be helpful when we carry some explicit calculations in the theory of automorphic forms on metaplectic groups. Specifically, we \begin{enumerate} \item construct metaplectic coverings of $G({\Bbb A})$ from those of $G'({\Bbb A})$; \item for any non-archimedean place $v$, show the section for a covering of $G(F_{v})$ constructed from a Steinberg section is an isomorphism, both algebraically and topologically in an open subgroup of $G(F_{v})$; \item define a global section which is a product of local sections on a maximal torus, a unipotent subgroup and a set of representatives for the Weyl group.

 Free products with amalgamation and $\lowercase{p}$-adic Lie groups Using the theory of $p$-adic Lie groups we give conditions for a finitely generated group to admit a splitting as a non-trivial free product with amalgamation. This can be viewed as an extension of a theorem of Bass. Category:20E06

 The growth series of compact hyperbolic Coxeter groups with 4 and 5 generators The growth series of compact hyperbolic Coxeter groups with 4 and 5 generators are explicitly calculated. The assertions of J.~Cannon and Ph.~Wagreich for the 4-generated groups, that the poles of the growth series lie on the unit circle, with the exception of a single real reciprocal pair of poles, are verified. We also verify that for the 5-generated groups, this phenomenon fails. Categories:20F05, 20F55

 Automorphisms of metabelian groups We investigate the problem of determining when $\IA (F_{n}({\bf A}_{m}{\bf A}))$ is finitely generated for all $n$ and $m$, with $n\geq 2$ and $m\neq 1$. If $m$ is a nonsquare free integer then $\IA(F_{n}({\bf A}_{m}{\bf A}))$ is not finitely generated for all $n$ and if $m$ is a square free integer then $\IA(F_{n}({\bf A}_{m}{\bf A}))$ is finitely generated for all $n$, with $n\neq 3$, and $\IA(F_{3}({\bf A}_{m}{\bf A}))$ is not finitely generated. In case $m$ is square free, Bachmuth and Mochizuki claimed in ([7], Problem 4) that $\TR({\bf A}_{m}{\bf A})$ is $1$ or $4$. We correct their assertion by proving that $\TR({\bf A}_{m}{\bf A})=\infty$. Category:20F28

 On generalized third dimension subgroups Let $G$ be any group, and $H$ be a normal subgroup of $G$. Then M.~Hartl identified the subgroup $G \cap(1+\triangle^3(G)+\triangle(G)\triangle(H))$ of $G$. In this note we give an independent proof of the result of Hartl, and we identify two subgroups $G\cap(1+\triangle(H)\triangle(G)\triangle(H)+\triangle([H,G])\triangle(H))$, $G\cap(1+\triangle^2(G)\triangle(H)+\triangle(K)\triangle(H))$ of $G$ for some subgroup $K$ of $G$ containing $[H,G]$.

 Criteria for commutativity in large groups In this paper we prove the following: 1.~~Let $m\ge 2$, $n\ge 1$ be integers and let $G$ be a group such that $(XY)^n = (YX)^n$ for all subsets $X,Y$ of size $m$ in $G$. Then \item{a)} $G$ is abelian or a $\BFC$-group of finite exponent bounded by a function of $m$ and $n$. \item{b)} If $m\ge n$ then $G$ is abelian or $|G|$ is bounded by a function of $m$ and $n$. 2.~~The only non-abelian group $G$ such that $(XY)^2 = (YX)^2$ for all subsets $X,Y$ of size $2$ in $G$ is the quaternion group of order $8$. 3.~~Let $m$, $n$ be positive integers and $G$ a group such that $$X_1\cdots X_n\subseteq \bigcup_{\sigma \in S_n\bs 1} X_{\sigma (1)} \cdots X_{\sigma (n)}$$ for all subsets $X_i$ of size $m$ in $G$. Then $G$ is $n$-permutable or $|G|$ is bounded by a function of $m$ and $n$. Categories:20E34, 20F24

 Amalgamated products and the Howson property We show that if $A$ is a torsion-free word hyperbolic group which belongs to class $(Q)$, that is all finitely generated subgroups of $A$ are quasiconvex in $A$, then any maximal cyclic subgroup $U$ of $A$ is a Burns subgroup of $A$. This, in particular, implies that if $B$ is a Howson group (that is the intersection of any two finitely generated subgroups is finitely generated) then $A\ast_U B$, $\langle A,t \mid U^t=V\rangle$ are also Howson groups. Finitely generated free groups, fundamental groups of closed hyperbolic surfaces and some interesting $3$-manifold groups are known to belong to class $(Q)$ and our theorem applies to them. We also describe a large class of word hyperbolic groups which are not Howson. Categories:20E06, 20E07, 20F32

 A New Proof of a Theorem of Magnus Using naive algebraic geometric methods a new proof of the following celebrated theorem of Magnus is given: Let $G$ be a group with a presentation having $n$ generators and $m$ relations. If $G$ also has a presentation on $n-m$ generators, then $G$ is free of rank $n-m$. Categories:20E05, 20C99, 14Q99

 The stable and unstable types of classifying spaces The main purpose of this paper is to study groups $G_1$, $G_2$ such that $H^\ast(BG_1,{\bf Z}/p)$ is isomorphic to $H^\ast(BG_2,{\bf Z}/p)$ in ${\cal U}$, the category of unstable modules over the Steenrod algebra ${\cal A}$, but not isomorphic as graded algebras over ${\bf Z}/p$.

 A universal coefficient decomposition for subgroups induced by submodules of group algebras Dimension subgroups and Lie dimension subgroups are known to satisfy a universal coefficient decomposition', {\it i.e.} their value with respect to an arbitrary coefficient ring can be described in terms of their values with respect to the universal' coefficient rings given by the cyclic groups of infinite and prime power order. Here this fact is generalized to much more general types of induced subgroups, notably covering Fox subgroups and relative dimension subgroups with respect to group algebra filtrations induced by arbitrary $N$-series, as well as certain common generalisations of these which occur in the study of the former. This result relies on an extension of the principal universal coefficient decomposition theorem on polynomial ideals (due to Passi, Parmenter and Seghal), to all additive subgroups of group rings. This is possible by using homological instead of ring theoretical methods. Keywords:induced subgroups, group algebras, Fox subgroups, relative dimension, subgroups, polynomial idealsCategories:20C07, 16A27
