It is proved in [J. Group Theory, {\bf 10} (2007), 859-866] that if $G$ is a finite $p$-group such that $(G,Z(G))$ is a Camina pair, then $|G|$ divides $|\Aut(G)|$. We give a very short and elementary proof of this result.

Let $G$ be a Camina $p$-group of nilpotence class $3$. We prove that if $G' < C_G (G')$, then $|Z(G)| \le |G':G_3|^{1/2}$. We also prove that if $G/G_3$ has only one or two abelian subgroups of order $|G:G'|$, then $G' < C_G (G')$. If…

Let $(G,Z(G))$ be a Camina pair. We prove that $G$ must be a $p$-group for some prime $p$. We also prove that $|Z(G)| < |G:Z(G)|^{3/4}$. Also, we discuss how one might build examples with $|Z(G)| > |G:Z(G)|^{1/2}$, although we are not able…

In this paper, we investigate certain generalizations of Camina pairs. Let $H$ be a nontrivial proper subgroup of a finite group $G$. We first show that every nontrivial irreducible complex character of $H$ induces homogeneously to $G$ if…

Let $P$ be a Camina $p$-group that acts on a group $Q$ in such a way that $C_P (x) \subseteq P'$ for all nonidentity elements $x \in Q$. We show that $P$ must be isomorphic to the quaternion group $Q_8$. If $P$ has class $2$, this is a…

We show for every prime $p$ that there exists a Camina pair $(G,N)$ where $N$ is a $p$-group and $G$ is not $p$-closed.

An analogue of Burnside's Lemma for 2-transitive groups is shown to hold for a class of topological groups. If the group is compact the representation is finite and splits into an irreducible and the constant functions. If both the group…

Vanishing-off subgroups, generalized Camina pair and other related subgroups have played a significant role in the study of group structure. The primary goal of this paper is to study their analogs in the setting of supercharacter theory.…

Isaacs has defined a character to be super monomial if every primitive character inducing it is linear. Isaacs has conjectured that if $G$ is an $M$-group with odd order, then every irreducible character is super monomial. We prove that the…

Let $T$ be a (first order complete) dependent theory, ${\mathfrak{C}}$ a $\bar\kappa$-saturated model of $T$ and $G$ a definable subgroup which is abelian. Among subgroups of bounded index which are the union of $<\bar\kappa$ type definable…

Let Gamma be a finitely generated, amenable group. Using an idea of E Ghys, we prove that if Gamma has a nontrivial, orientation-preserving action on the real line, then Gamma has an infinite, cyclic quotient. (The converse is obvious.)…

In this paper, we will show that if for every nonlinear complex irreducible character of a finite group G, some multiple of it is induced from an irreducible character of some proper subgroup of G, then G is solvable. This is a…

In this paper, we find a condition that characterizes when two Camina $p$-groups of nilpotence class 2 form a Brauer pair.

A character of a group is said to be super-monomial if every primitive character inducing it is linear. It is conjectured by Isaacs that every irreducible character of an odd $M$-group is super-monomial. We show that all non linear…

In this paper, we study Camina triples. Camina triples are a generalization of Camina pairs. Camina pairs were first introduced in 1978 by A.R. Camina in \cite{camina1}. Camina's work in \cite{camina1} was inspired by the study of Frobenius…

Let $G$ be a real algebraic group defined over $\mathbb{Q}$, $\Gamma$ be an arithmetic subgroup of $G$, and $T$ be a maximal $\mathbb{R}$-split torus. A trajectory in $G/\Gamma$ is divergent if eventually it leaves every compact subset. In…

We prove a modified version for a conjecture of Weiss from 2004. Let $G$ be a semisimple real algebraic group defined over $\mathbb{Q}$, $\Gamma$ be an arithmetic subgroup of $G$. A trajectory in $G/\Gamma$ is divergent if eventually it…

We continue the analysis of the Modular Isomorphism Problem for $2$-generated $p$-groups with cyclic derived subgroup, $p>2$, started in [D. Garc\'ia-Lucas, \'A. del R\'io, and M. Stanojkovski. On group invariants determined by modular…

The cyclic subgroup graph ${\Gamma(G)}$ of a group $G$ is the simple undirected graph with cyclic subgroups as a vertex set and two distinct vertices $H_1$ and $H_2$ are adjacent if and only if $H_1 \leq H_2$ and there does not exist any…

In the theory of unitary group representations, a group is called type I if all factor representations are of type I, and by a celebrated theorem of James Glimm [Gli61b], the type I groups are precisely those groups for which the…
