The aim of our paper is to generalize the tangent prolongation of Lie groups to non-associative multiplications and to examine how the weak associative and weak inverse properties are transferred to the multiplication defined on the tangent bundle. We obtain that the tangent prolongation of a $mathcal{C}^r$-differentiable loop ($rgeq 1$) is a $mathcal{C}^{r-1}$-differentiable loop that acquires the classical weak inverse and weak associative properties of the initial loop.

G.E. Wall gave two different proofs of a remarkable result about the multilinear Lie relators satisfied by groups of prime power exponent $q$. He showed that if $q$ is a power of the prime $p$, and if $f$ is a multilinear Lie relator in $n$ variables where $nneq1operatorname{mod}(p-1)$, then $f=0$ is a consequence of multilinear Lie relators in fewer than $n$ variables. For years I have struggled to understand his proofs, and while I still have not the slightest clue about his first proof published in the Journal of Algebra, I finally have some understanding of his second proof published in a conference proceedings. In this note I offer my insights into Wall's second proof of this theorem.

The theory of Engel groups plays an important role in group theory since these groups are closely related to the Burnside problems. In this survey we consider several classical and novel algorithmic problems for Engel groups and propose several open problems. We study these problems with a view towards applications to cryptography.

This is an expository book on unitary representations of topological groups, and of several dual spaces, which are spaces of such representations up to some equivalence. The most important notions are defined for topological groups, but a special attention is paid to the case of discrete groups. The unitary dual of a group $G$ is the space of equivalence classes of its irreducible unitary representations; it is both a topological space and a Borel space. The primitive dual is the space of weak equivalence classes of unitary irreducible representations. The normal quasi-dual is the space of quasi-equivalence classes of traceable factor representations; it is parametrized by characters, which can be finite or infinite. The theory is systematically illustrated by a series of specific examples: Heisenberg groups, affine groups of infinite fields, solvable Baumslag-Solitar groups, lamplighter groups, and general linear groups. Operator algebras play an important role in the exposition, in particular the von Neumann algebras associated to a unitary representation and C*-algebras associated to a locally compact group.
