We consider finite groups having a conjugacy class that is the difference of two normal subgroups. That is, suppose $G$ is a group and $M$ and $N$ are normal subgroups so that $N < M$, and suppose that there is an element $g \in G$ so that…

It is proved that, for a prime $p>2$ and integer $n\geq 1$, finite $p$-groups of nilpotency class $3$ and having only two conjugacy class sizes $1$ and $p^n$ exist if and only if $n$ is even; moreover, for a given even positive integer,…

We reduce the classification of finite subgroups in compact Lie groups to that of quasi-simple ones, prove the number of conjugacy classes is finite and each cojugacy class is Zariski closed in mapping space, and classify "strongly…

We derive a lower and an upper bound for the rank of the finite part of operator $K$-theory groups of maximal and reduced $C^*$-algebras of finitely generated groups. The lower bound is based on the amount of polynomially growing conjugacy…

In this article, I study some classes of finitely presented groups with the aim of finding out whether the maximal metabelian quotients of the members of these classes admit finite presentations. The considered classes include those of…

Let ${\cal C}$ be a nonempty class of finite groups closed under taking subgroups, homomorphic images and extensions. A subgroup $H$ of an abstract residually ${\cal C}$ group $R$ is said to be conjugacy ${\cal C}$-distinguished if whenever…

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…

Let $G$ be a finite group of order divisible by a prime $p$. The number of $p$-regular and $p'$-regular conjugacy classes of $G$ is at least $2\sqrt{p-1}$. Also, the number of $p$-rational and $p'$-rational irreducible characters of $G$ is…

Two elements in a group $G$ are said to $z$-equivalent or to be in the same $z$-class if their centralizers are conjugate in $G$. In \cite{kkj}, it was proved that a non-abelian $p$-group $G$ can have at most $\frac{p^k-1}{p-1} +1$ number…

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,…

Let $G$ be a closed highly homogeneous subgroup of $S_{\infty}$ not involving circular orderings. We show that the closure of a conjugacy class from $G$ contains a conjugacy class which is comeagre in it. Furthermore, we show that the…

For a finite group G, we denote by v(G) the number of conjugacy classes of subgroups of G not in CD(G). In this paper, we determine the finite groups G such that v(G)=1,2,3.

We show that the number of conjugacy classes of maximal finite subgroups of a lattice in a semisimple Lie group is linearly bounded by the covolume of the lattice. Moreover, for higher rank groups, we show that this number grows sublinearly…

Given a group $G$ we write $h(G)$ to denote the maximum number of times that a field extension of $\mathbb{Q}$ appears as the field of values of a conjugacy class of a group. In this work, we prove that $|G|$ is bounded in terms of $h(G)$.…
