Let $G$ be a finite group and $n_p(G)$ the number of Sylow $p$-subgroups of $G$. In this paper, we prove if $n_p(G)<p^2$ then almost all numbers $n_p(G)$ are a power of a prime.
We prove that there exists a universal constant $D$ such that if $p$ is a prime divisor of the index of the Fitting subgroup of a finite group $G$, then the number of conjugacy classes of G is at least $Dp/log_2 p$. We conjecture that we…
We continue the investigation, that began in [3] and [4], into finite groups whose set of nontrivial conjugacy class sizes form an arithmetic progression. Let $G$ be a finite group and denote the set of conjugacy class sizes of $G$ by ${\rm…
For a finite group $G,$ we define the concept of $G$-partial permutation and use it to show that the structure coefficients of the center of the wreath product $G\wr \mathcal{S}_n$ algebra are polynomials in $n$ with non-negative integer…
We prove the conjugacy of Sylow $p$-subgroups of linear pseudofinite groups under the assumption of the existence of a finite Sylow $p$-subgroup. We also give an example of a linear pseudofinite group with non-conjugate Sylow $2$-subgroups.
To classify the finite dimensional pointed Hopf algebras with Weyl group $G$ of $E_8$, we obtain the representatives of conjugacy classes of $G$ and all character tables of centralizers of these representatives by means of software GAP. In…
Let G be a Chevalley group scheme of rank l. We show that the following holds for some absolute constant d>0 and two functions p_0=p_0(l) and C=C(l,p). Let p>p_0 be a prime number and let G_n:=G(\Z/p^n\Z) be the family of finite groups for…
Let $G$ be a finite group and $\pi$ be a set of primes. We show that if the number of conjugacy classes of $\pi$-elements in $G$ is larger than $5/8$ times the $\pi$-part of $|G|$ then $G$ possesses an abelian Hall $\pi$-subgroup which…
We construct a U_h(sp(4))-equivariant quantization of the four-dimensional complex sphere S^4 regarded as a conjugacy class, Sp(4)/Sp(2)x Sp(2), of a simple complex group with non-Levi isotropy subgroup, through an operator realization of…
The generalized order $e_G(g)$ of an element $g$ of a group $G$ is the smallest positive integer $k$ such that there exist $x_1,\ldots,x_k \in G$ such that $g^{x_1} \ldots g^{x_k}=1$, where $g^x=x^{-1}gx$. Let $e(G) = \max \{e_G(g)\ |\ g…
A constructive procedure is given to determine all ideals of a solvable Lie algebra. This is used in determining algorithmically all conjugacy classes of subalgebras of a given solvable Lie algebra.
We develop practical techniques to compute with arithmetic groups $H\leq \mathrm{SL}(n,\mathbb{Q})$ for $n>2$. Our approach relies on constructing a principal congruence subgroup in $H$. Problems solved include testing membership in $H$,…
If $G$ is a finite group, an irreducible complex-valued character $\chi$ is called rational if $\chi(g)$ is rational for all $g\in G$. Also, a conjugacy class $x^G$ is called rational, if for all irreducible complex-valued character $\chi$,…
The problem of computing modulo prime-power sums is investigated in distributed source coding as well as computation over Multiple-Access Channel (MAC). We build upon group codes and present a new class of codes called Quasi Group Codes…
For any odd prime $p$ we consider representations of a group of order $p$ in the symplectic group $Sp(p-1,Z[1/n])$ of $(p-1)\times(p-1)$-matrices over the ring $Z[1/n]$, $0\neq n\in N$. We construct a relation between the conjugacy classes…
We apply Voronoi's algorithm to compute representatives of the conjugacy classes of maximal finite subgroups of the unit group of a maximal order in some simple $\QQ $-algebra. This may be used to show in small cases that non-conjugate…
This paper initiates the study of effective twisted conjugacy separability for finitely generated groups, which measures the complexity of separating distinct twisted conjugacy classes via finite quotients. The focus is on nilpotent groups,…
Using combinatorial techniques, we answer two questions about simple classical Lie groups. Define $N(G,m)$ to be the number of conjugacy classes of elements of finite order $m$ in a Lie group $G$, and $N(G,m,s)$ to be the number of such…
The Sylow graph $\Gamma(G)$ of a finite group $G$ originated from recent investigations on the so--called $\mathbf{N}$--closed classes of groups. The connectivity of $\Gamma(G)$ was proved only few years ago, involving the classification of…
Let $G$ be a finite group and $\pi$ be a set of primes. We study finite groups with a large number of conjugacy classes of $\pi$-elements. In particular, we obtain precise lower bounds for this number in terms of the $\pi$-part of the order…
