We study some properties of the coset poset associated with the family of subgroups of class ≤ 2 of a nilpotent group of class ≤ 3. We prove that under certain assumptions on the group the coset poset is simply-connected if and only if the group is 2-Engel, and 2-connected if and only if the group is nilpotent of class 2 or less. We determine the homotopy type of the coset poset for the group of 4 × 4 upper unitriangular matrices over Fp, and for the Burnside groups of exponent 3.

Higher commutativity and nilpotency in finite groups
Given a finite group and an integer q, we consider the poset of nilpotent subgroups of class less than q and its corresponding coset poset. These posets give rise to a family of finite Dirichlet…

Finite p-groups whose proper subgroups are of class ≤ n
A finite group G is said to be a minimal non-𝒫n group if G itself is not a group of nilpotency class ≤ n and all of whose proper subgroups are of nilpotency class ≤ n. In this paper, we get a upper…

Abstract We investigate the topological properties of the poset of proper cosets xH in a finite group G. Of particular interest is the reduced Euler characteristic, which is closely related to the…
Between buildings and free factor complexes: A Cohen-Macaulay complex for Out(RAAGs)
For every finite graph Γ, we define a simplicial complex associated to the outer automorphism group of the RAAG AΓ. These complexes are defined as coset complexes of parabolic subgroups of Out(AΓ)…

Third Engel groups and the Macdonald-Neumann conjecture
There exists a non-solvable group which is third Engel. More generally, the existence of a non-solvable group in which every n-generator subgroup is nilpotent of class at most 2n - 1 is confirmed.

Abstract We describe the connected components of the space $\text {Hom}(\Gamma ,SU(2))$ of homomorphisms for a discrete nilpotent group $\Gamma$. The connected components arising from homomorphisms…
