Let G be a finite p-solvable group and P a Sylow p-subgroup of G. Suppose that $\gamma_{l(p-1)}(P)\subseteq \gamma_r(P)^{p^s}$ for $l(p-1)<r+s(p-1)$, then the p-length is bounded by a function depending on l.

Let $G$ be a finite group and $S< G$. A cover for a group $G$ is a collection of subgroups of $G$ whose union is $G$. We use the term $n$-cover for a cover with $n$ members. A cover $\Pi =\{H_1, H_2, \dots, H_n\}$ is said to be a strict…

Let X be a finite CW-complex of dimension q. If its fundamental group $\pi_{1}(X)$ is polycyclic of Hirsch number h>q we show that at least one of the homotopy groups $\pi_{i}(X)$ is not finitely generated. If h=q or h=q-1 the same…

Let $\sigma =\{\sigma_{i} | i\in I\}$ be some partition of the set of all primes $\Bbb{P}$, $G$ a finite group and $\sigma (G) =\{\sigma_{i} |\sigma_{i}\cap \pi (G)\ne \emptyset \}$. A set ${\cal H}$ of subgroups of $G$ is said to be a…

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $\pi(G)=\{p_1, p_2, \ldots, p_k\}$ be the set of prime divisors of $|G|$ for which $p_1<p_2<\cdots<p_k$. The Gruenberg-Kegel graph of $G$, denoted ${\rm GK}(G)$, is defined as follows: its vertex set is…

Let $S$ be an algebraic semigroup (not necessarily linear) defined over a field $F$. We show that there exists a positive integer $n$ such that $x^n$ belongs to a subgroup of $S(F)$ for any $x \in S(F)$. In particular, the semigroup $S(F)$…

A subgroup $H$ of a finite group $G$ is said to be SS-permutable in $G$ if $H$ has a supplement $K$ in $G$ such that $H$ permutes with every Sylow subgroup of $K$. A finite group $G$ is called an SST-group if SS-permutability is a…

Let $H\leq K$ be subgroups of a group G. We say that H is strongly closed in K with respect to G if whenever $a^g \in K$ where $a \in H, g \in G,$ then $a^g \in H.$ In this paper, we investigate the structure of a group G under the…

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic $p>0$. Call a finite group $G$ a poco group over $k$ if any finitely generated cohomological Mackey functor for $G$ over $k$ has polynomial growth. The main result of this paper is that $G$ is a poco…

We characterize some classes of finite soluble groups. In particular, we prove that: a finite group $G$ is supersoluble if and only if $G$ has a normal subgroup $D$ such that $G/D$ is supersoluble and $D$ avoids every chief factor of $G$…

In this paper we shall deal with periodic groups, in which each element has a prime power order. A group $G$ will be called a $BCP$-group if each element of $G$ has a prime power order and for each $p\in \pi(G)$ there exists a positive…

We consider a finite group $G$ with a normal subgroup $N$ so that all elements of $G \setminus N$ have prime power order. We prove that if there is a prime $p$ so that all the elements in $G \setminus N$ have $p$-power order, then either…

Let $\sigma =\{\sigma_{i} | i\in I\}$ be some partition of the set of all primes $\Bbb{P}$ and let $G$ be a finite group. Then $G$ is said to be $\sigma $-full if $G$ has a Hall $\sigma _{i}$-subgroup for all $i$. A subgroup $A$ of $G$ is…

Suppose that the finite group $G=AB$ is a mutually permutable product of two subgroups $A$ and $B$. By using Sylow numbers of $A$ and $B$, we present some new bounds of the $p$-length $l_p(G)$ of a $p$-solvable group $G$ and the nilpotent…

The structure of finite and locally finite groups in which every element has prime power order (CP-groups) is well known. In this paper we note that the combination of our earlier results with the available information on the structure of…

Let $\mathfrak{F}$ be a formation and $G$ a finite group. A subgroup $H$ of $G$ is said to be weakly $\mathfrak{F}_{s}$-quasinormal in $G$ if $G$ has an $S$-quasinormal subgroup $T$ such that $HT$ is $S$-quasinormal in $G$ and $(H\cap…

Let $H$ and $B$ be subgroups of a finite group $G$ such that $G=N_{G}(H)B$. Then we say that $H$ is \emph{quasipermutable} (respectively \emph{$S$-quasipermutable}) in $G$ provided $H$ permutes with $B$ and with every subgroup (respectively…

We show that the $p$-group complex of a finite group $G$ is homotopy equivalent to a wedge of spheres of dimension at most $n$ if $G$ contains a self-centralising normal subgroup $H$ which is isomorphic to a group of Lie type and Lie rank…

We fix a field $\kk$ of characteristic $p$. For a finite group $G$ denote by $\delta(G)$ and $\sigma(G)$ respectively the minimal number $d$, such that for any finite dimensional representation $V$ of $G$ over $\kk$ and any $v\in…

Given two subsets $X,Y$ of a finite group $G$, we write $\Pr(X,Y)$ for the probability that random elements $x \in X$ and $y \in Y$ commute. If $X,Y$ are subgroups, we denote by $\Pr^*(X,Y)$ the maximum real number $\epsilon$ with the…
