Abstract

In [P. Niroomand, R. Rezaei, On the exterior degree of finite groups, Comm. Algebra 39 (2011), 335-343] it is introduced a group invariant, related to the number of elements xx and yy of a finite group GG, such that xy=1GGx \wedge y = 1_{G \wedge G} in the exterior square GGG \wedge G of GG. This number gives restrictions on the Schur multiplier of GG and, consequently, large classes of groups can be described. In the present paper we generalize the previous investigations on the topic, focusing on the number of elements of the form hmkh^m \wedge k of HKH \wedge K such that hmk=1HKh^m \wedge k = 1_{H \wedge K}, where m1m \ge 1 and HH and KK are arbitrary subgroups of GG.
