Let G be a finite solvable group, and let h(G) denote its Fitting height, namely the length of a shortest normal series in G with nilpotent factors. We show, that any law in G has length at least h(G). This result is then used to improve a…

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 transitive permutation group on a finite set with solvable point stabiliser and assume that the solvable radical of $G$ is trivial. In 2010, Vdovin conjectured that the base size of $G$ is at most 5. Burness proved this…

In this paper, we prove that all finite solvable groups satisfy the Isaacs-Seitz conjecture namely the derived lenght of a finite solvable group G is less than or equal to the number of distinct irreducible complex character degrees of G.

We study solvability, nilpotency and splitting property for algebraic supergroups over an arbitrary field $K$ of characteristic $\mathrm{char}\, K \ne 2$. Our first main theorem tells us that an algebraic supergroup $\mathbb{G}$ is solvable…

Let $\Gamma(G)$ be the Gruenberg-Kegel graph of a finite group $G$. We prove that if $G$ is solvable and $\sigma$ is a cut-set for $\Gamma(G)$, then $G$ has a $\sigma$-series of length $5$ whose factors are controlled. As a consequence, we…

The set of finitely generated subgroups of the group $PL_+(I)$ of orientation-preserving piecewise-linear homeomorphisms of the unit interval includes many important groups, most notably R.~Thompson's group $F$. In this paper we show that…

We associate a graph $\mathcal{C}_G$ to a non locally cyclic group $G$ (called the non-cyclic graph of $G$) as follows: take $G\backslash Cyc(G)$ as vertex set, where $Cyc(G)=\{x\in G | < x,y> \text{is cyclic for all} y\in G\}$ is called…

A subgroup $H$ of a finite group $G$ is said to be an NC-subgroup of $G$, if $ H^G N_G (H) =G$, where $H^G$ denotes the normal closure of $H$ in $G$. A finite group $G$ is called a PNC-group, if any subgroup of $G$ is an NC-subgroup of $G$,…

Let $o(G)$ be the average order of a finite group $G$. M. Herzog, P. Longobardi and M. Maj \cite{7} showed that if $G$ is non-solvable and $o(G)=o(A_5)$, then $G\cong A_5$. In this note, we prove that the equality $o(G)=o(A_5)$ does not…
