We consider the capability of $p$-groups of class two and odd prime exponent. The question of capability is shown to be equivalent to a statement about vector spaces and linear transformations, and using the equivalence we give proofs of…

Let $p$ be a prime and let $P$ be a Sylow $p$-subgroup of a finite nonabelian group $G$. Let $bcl(G)$ be the size of the largest conjugacy class of the group $G$. We show that $|P/O_p(G)| < bcl(G)$ if $G$ is not abelian.

We investigate some properties of the $p$-elements of a profinite group $G$. We prove that if $p$ is odd and the probability that a randomly chosen element of $G$ is a $p$-element is positive, then $G$ contains an open prosolvable subgroup.…

In this paper, we show that if $p$ is a prime and $G$ is a $p$-solvable group, then $| G:O_p (G) |_p \le (b(G)^p/p)^{1/(p-1)}$ where $b(G)$ is the largest character degree of $G$. If $p$ is an odd prime that is not a Mersenne prime or if…

Let p be a prime number and G be a finite commutative group such that p^{2} does not divide the order of G. In this note we prove that for every finite module M over the group ring Z_{p}[G], the inequality #M \leq…

In \cite[Theorem 2.5]{Bac16} Bachiller proved that if $(G, \cdot, \circ)$ is a brace of order the power of a prime $p$ and the rank of $(G,\cdot)$ is smaller than $p-1$, then the order of any element is the same in the additive and…

Let $K$ be a global function field of characteristic $p$, and let $\Gamma$ be a finite-index subgroup of an arithmetic group defined with respect to $K$ and such that any torsion element of $\Gamma$ is a $p$-torsion element. We define…

For every prime $p>3$ we prove that $Q \times \mathbb{Z}_p$ and $\mathbb{Z}_2^3 \times \mathbb{Z}_p$ are DCI- groups. This result completes the description of CI-groups of order $8p$.

We construct examples of groups that are $FP_2(\mathbb{Q})$ and $FP_2(\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z})$ for all primes $p$ but not of type $FP_2(\mathbb{Z})$.

Let $G\in\{p,q\}^*$ be a finite group with trivial center, where $p,q\in\pi(G)$ and $p>q>5$. In the present paper it is proved that $|G|_{\{p,q\}}=|G||_{\{p,q\}}$; in particular $C_G(g)\cap C_G(h)=1$ for every $p$-element $g$ and every…

Suppose G is a finite group of order 30p, where p is prime. We show that if S is any generating set of G, then there is a hamiltonian cycle in the corresponding Cayley graph Cay(G;S).

We consider the families of finite Abelian groups $\ZZ/p\ZZ\times \ZZ/p\ZZ$, $\ZZ/p^2\ZZ$ and $\ZZ/p\ZZ\times \ZZ/q\ZZ$ for $p,q$ two distinct prime numbers. For the two first families we give a simple characterization of all functions…

We present a classification of finite $p$-groups $G$ with $\gamma_2(G)$, the commutator subgroup of $G$, of order $p^4$ and exponent $p$ such that not all elements of $\gamma_2(G)$ are commutators.

For a positive integer r we prove that if G is a profinite group in which the centralizer of every nontrivial element has rank at most r, then G is either a pro-p group or a group of finite rank. Further, if G is not virtually a pro-p…

A p-group is called powerful if every commutator is a product of pth powers when p is odd and a product of fourth powers when p=2. In the group algebra of a group G of p-power order over a finite field of characteristic p, the group of…

Suppose G is a finite group, such that |G| = 16p, where p is prime. We show that if S is any generating set of G, then there is a hamiltonian cycle in the corresponding Cayley graph Cay(G;S).

Kemnitz Conjecture [9] states that if we take a sequence of elements in $Z_{p}^{2}$ of length $4p-3$, $p$ is a prime number, then it has a subsequence of length $p$, whose sum is $0$ modulo $p$. It is known that in $Z_{p}^{3}$ to get a…

In this paper, we proved that a group $G$ is supersoluble if and only if for any prime $p\in \pi (G)$ there exists a supersoluble subgroup of index $p$.

We prove that for any prime $p$ there is a divisible by $p$ number $q = O(p^{30})$ such that for a certain positive integer $a$ coprime with $q$ the ratio $a/q$ has bounded partial quotients. In the other direction we show that there is an…

We introduce the notion of commuting probability, $p(G)$, for an algebraic group $G$. This notion is inspired by the corresponding notions in finite groups and compact groups. The computation of $p(G)$ for reductive groups is readily done…
