Recent investigations on the set of commutators between the elements of a finite group having relatively prime orders have prompt us to propose a variant of the Ore conjecture: For every finite non-abelian simple group and for every $g\in…

Let $p$ be a prime. We classify the finite groups having exactly two irreducible $p$-Brauer characters of degree larger than one. The case, where the finite groups have orders not divisible by $p$, was done by P. P\'alfy in 1981.

Suppose that $G$ is a finite solvable group and $V$ is a finite, faithful and completely reducible $G$-module. Let $N$ be a nilpotent subgroup of $G$, then there exits $v \in V$ such that $|\bC_N(v)| \leq (|N|/p)^{1/p}$, where $p$ is the…

We determine upper bounds for the maximum order of an element of a finite almost simple group with socle T in terms of the minimum index m(T) of a maximal subgroup of T: for T not an alternating group we prove that, with finitely many…

This paper provides the first steps in classifying the finite solvable groups having Property A, which is a property involving abelian normal subgroups. We see that this classification is reduced to classifying the solvable Chermak-Delgado…

Following partially a suggestion by Pyber, we prove that the diameter of a product of non-abelian finite simple groups is bounded linearly by the maximum diameter of its factors. For completeness, we include the case of abelian factors and…

An $integral$ of a group $G$ is a group $H$ whose derived group (commutator subgroup) is isomorphic to $G$. This paper discusses integrals of groups, and in particular questions about which groups have integrals and how big or small those…

In this paper, we consider covers of finite groups by centralizers of elements. We show that the set of centralizers that are maximal under the partial ordering form a cover of the group. We also show that the set of centralizers that are…

Every nonabelian finite simple group of rank $n$ over a field of size $q$, with the possible exception of the Ree groups $^2G_2(3^{2e+1})$, has a presentation with a bounded number of generators and relations and total length $O(\log n…

Motivated by the theory of Riemann surfaces, we classify all possibilities for finite simple groups acting faithfully on a compact Riemann surface of genus at least 2 in such a way that all non-trivial elements have at most three fixed…

The spectrum $\omega(G)$ of a finite group $G$ is the set of orders of elements of $G$. We present a polynomial-time algorithm that, given a finite set $\mathcal M$ of positive integers, outputs either an empty set or a finite simple group…

We determine the finite non-abelian simple groups which occur as the type of a Hopf-Galois structure on a solvable extension. In the language of skew braces, our result gives a complete list of finite non-abelian simple groups which occur…

In this paper, we completely classify the finite $p$-groups $G$ such that $\Phi(G')G_3\le C_p^2$, $\Phi(G')G_3\le Z(G)$ and $G/\Phi(G')G_3$ is minimal non-abelian. This paper is a part of the classification of finite $p$-groups with a…

In this paper, we present a novel approach for calculating the set of subgroups of a finite group, focusing on cyclic subgroups, and using it to establish the quantity of all subgroups in the direct product of two groups. Specifically, we…

The separating Noether number $\beta_{\mathrm{sep}}(G)$ of a finite group $G$ is the minimal positive integer $d$ such that for every finite $G$-module $V$ there is a separating set consisting of invariant polynomials of degree at most $d$.…

A finite nonabelian simple group does not admit a free action on a homology sphere, and the only finite simple group which acts on a homology sphere with at most 0-dimensional fixed point sets ("pseudofree action") is the alternating group…

We prove that non-abelian definable, definably simple groups in 1-h-minimal henselian valued fields are essentially already linear algebraic groups. Here, the group is assumed to live in the home sort. We have a similar result in pure…

In this paper, we study the minimal number of elements of maximal order within a zero-sumfree sequence in a finite Abelian p-group. For this purpose, in the general context of finite Abelian groups, we introduce a new number, for which…

The present paper completes the computation of the separating Noether numbers for the groups with order strictly less than $32$. Most of the results are proved for the case of a general (possibly finite) base field containing an element…

For every finite abelian group $G$, there are positive integers $n$ and $d$ such that $G$ is isomorphic to the multiplicative group of $d$-th powers of reduced residues modulo $n$.
