Abstract

In this paper, we investigate certain generalizations of Camina pairs. Let HH be a nontrivial proper subgroup of a finite group GG. We first show that every nontrivial irreducible complex character of HH induces homogeneously to GG if and only if for every xGHx\in G\setminus H, the element xx is conjugate to xhxh for all hHh\in H. Furthermore we prove that if xhxh is conjugate to either xx or x1x^{-1} for all hHh\in H and all xGHx\in G\setminus H, then the normal closure NN of HH in GG also satisfies the same condition, and NN is nilpotent. Finally, we determine the structure of HH under the assumption that for every element xGHx\in G\setminus H of odd order, the coset xHxH consists entirely of elements of odd order.
