Abstract
Landau's theorem on conjugacy classes asserts that there are only finitely many finite groups, up to isomorphism, with exactly conjugacy classes for any positive integer . We show that, for any positive integers and , there exists only a finite number of finite groups , up to isomorphism, having a normal subgroup of index which contains exactly non-central -conjugacy classes. We provide upper bounds for the orders of and , which are used by using GAP to classify all finite groups with normal subgroups having a small index and few -classes. We also study the corresponding problems when we only take into account the set of -classes of prime-power order elements contained in a normal subgroup.
