(G, <) is an ordered group if'<'is a total order relation on G in which f < g implies that xfy < xgy for all f, g, x, y $\in$ G. We say that (G, <) is centrally ordered if (G, <) is ordered and ［G,D］ $\subseteq$ C for every convex jump C $\prec$ D in G. Equivalently, if $f^{-1}g f{\leq} g^2$ for all f, g $\in$ G with g > 1. Every order on a torsion-free locally nilpotent group is central. We prove that if every order on every two-generator subgroup of a locally soluble orderable group G is central, then G is locally nilpotent. We also provide an example of a non-nilpotent two-generator metabelian orderable group in which all orders are central.

A group G is said to satisfy the maximal condition on infinite normal subgroups if there does not exist an infinite properly ascending chain of infinite normal subgroups. We characterize the structure of locally nilpotent groups satisfying this chain condition. We then show how to construct locally nilpotent groups with the maximal condition on infinite normal subgroups, but not the maximal condition on subgroups.

Every group G has a unique maximal normal locally nilpotent subgroup $\Phi(G)$, called the Hirsh-Plotkin radical of G [9]. If G is a group, we define the upper Hirsh-Plotkin series of G to be the ascending series $1 = R_0 \leq R_1 \leq \ldots$ in which $R_{\alpha+1}/R_\alpha = \{Phi(G/R_\alpha)$ for each ordinal $\alpha and R_\beta = \cup_{\alpha<\beta}R_\alpha$ for each limit ordinal $\beta$. If $R_r = G$ for some natural number r, then G is said to have locally nilpotent length r. $(LN)^r$ denotes the calss of groups of locally nilpotent length at most r.

A group G is said to satisfy the minimal condition on normal subgroups of infinite index if there does not exist an infinite properly descending chain $G_1$ > $G_2$ > ... of normal subgroups of infinite index in G. We characterize the structure of locally nilpotent groups satisfying this chain condition.

In this paper, we introduce the notions of expansiveness, shadowing property and topological stability for group actions on metric spaces and give a version of Walters's stability theorem for group actions on locally compact metric spaces. Moreover, we show that if G is a finitely generated virtually nilpotent group and there exists g ∈ G such that if Tg is expansive and has the shadowing property, then T is topologically stable.

The $S^1$-Eule characteristics of X is defined by $\bar{\chi}_{S^1}(X)\;{\in}\;HH_1(ZG)$, where G is the fundamental group of connected finite $S^1$-compact manifold or connected finite $S^1$-finite complex X and $HH_1$ is the first Hochsch ild homology group functor. The purpose of this paper is to find several cases which the $S^1$-Euler characteristic has a homotopic invariant.

In this article we study almost contact manifolds admitting weakly Einstein metrics. We first prove that if a (2n + 1)-dimensional Sasakian manifold admits a weakly Einstein metric, then its scalar curvature s satisfies -6 ⩽ s ⩽ 6 for n = 1 and -2n(2n + 1) ${\frac{4n^2-4n+3}{4n^2-4n-1}}$ ⩽ s ⩽ 2n(2n + 1) for n ⩾ 2. Secondly, for a (2n + 1)-dimensional weakly Einstein contact metric (κ, μ)-manifold with κ < 1, we prove that it is flat or is locally isomorphic to the Lie group SU(2), SL(2), or E(1, 1) for n = 1 and that for n ⩾ 2 there are no weakly Einstein metrics on contact metric (κ, μ)-manifolds with 0 < κ < 1. For κ < 0, we get a classification of weakly Einstein contact metric (κ, μ)-manifolds. Finally, it is proved that a weakly Einstein almost cosymplectic (κ, μ)-manifold with κ < 0 is locally isomorphic to a solvable non-nilpotent Lie group.
