Unramified Brauer groups of finite and infinite groups
The Bogomolov multiplier is a group theoretical invariant isomorphic to the
unramified Brauer group of a given quotient space. We derive a homological
version of the Bogomolov multiplier, prove a Hopf-type formula, find a five
term exact sequence corresponding to this invariant, and describe the role of
the Bogomolov multiplier in the theory of central extensions. A new description
of the Bogomolov multiplier of a nilpotent group of class two is obtained. We
define the Bogomolov multiplier within K-theory and show that proving its
triviality is equivalent to solving a long-standing problem posed by Bass. An
algorithm for computing the Bogomolov multiplier is developed.Comment: to appear in Amer. J. Mat
Males of Ichthyofilaria argentinensis Incorvaia, 1999 and I. bergensis (Wülker, 1930) (Dracunculoidea: Guyanemidae): New morphological aspects and emendation of the generic diagnosis
The adult male of dracunculoid nematode Ichthyofilaria argentinensis Incorvaia, 1999 (Guyanemidae) is described for the first time based on specimens found in the swimbladder of its type host, Merluccius hubbsi Marini (Merlucciidae), caught off the coast of Buenos Aires, Argentina (western Atlantic Ocean). In addition, the males of Ichthyofilaria bergensis (Wülker, 1930) Køie, 1993 are redescribed from specimens collected from the body cavity and visceral surface of Molva macrophthalma (Rafinesque) (Lotidae) caught in the western Mediterranean Sea, off the coast of Sardinia. Light and scanning electron microscopy examinations revealed some new morphological features for the genus, such as a pair of deirids located near the end of muscular oesophagus, the body wall conspicuously twisted immediately anterior to the cloaca, the presence of a copulatory plate, one pair of adcloacal papillae and a pair of phasmids situated on the posterior half of the tail. On the basis of this material, the generic diagnosis of Ichthyofilaria is modified to include some of these newly observed features, as well as to indicate the absence of spicules. The diagnosis of Guyanemidae is extended to include that a copulatory plate and/or two spicules may be present as characteristics for this family.Fil: Cantatore, Delfina María Paula.

Groups in which every non-cyclic subgroup contains its centralizer
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 -groups and finite simple groups
with the above defined property.Comment: 10 page
