It is shown that a finite group in which more than 3/4 of the elements are involutions must be an elementary abelian 2-group. A group in which exactly 3/4 of the elements are involutions is characterized as the direct product of the…

Every finite non-abelian group of order $n$ has a non-central element whose centralizer has order exceeding $n^{1/3}$. The proof does not rely on the classification of finite simple groups, yet it uses the Feit-Thompson theorem.

Locally finite groups having the property that every non-cyclic subgroup contains its centralizer are completely classified.

A (2,*)-group is a group that can be generated by two elements, one of which is an involution. We describe the method we have used to produce a census of all (2,*)-groups of order at most 6 000. Various well-known combinatorial structures…

We study $6$-transposition groups, i.e. groups generated by a normal set of involutions $D$, such that the order of the product of any two elements from $D$ does not exceed $6$. We classify most of the groups generated by $3$ elements from…

We classify finite groups in which the centralisers of certain non-central elements are soluble. This includes a full structural description of groups whose non-central element centralisers are all soluble, and a reduction theorem for the…

We study three restrictions on normalizers or centralizers in finite p-groups, namely: (i) |N_G(H) : H| <= p^k for every H non-normal in G, (ii) |N_G(<g>) : <g>| <= p^k for every <g> non-normal in G, and (iii) |C_G(g) : <g>| <= p^k for…

Suppose $G$ is a finite group. The set of all centralizers of $2-$element subsets of $G$ is denoted by $2-Cent(G)$. A group $G$ is called $(2,n)-$centralizer if $|2-Cent(G)| = n$ and primitive $(2,n)-$centralizer if $|2-Cent(G)| =…

We study groups having the property that every non-cyclic subgroup contains its centralizer. The structure of nilpotent and supersolvable groups in this class is described. We also classify finite $p$-groups and finite simple groups with…

Suppose that a locally finite group $G$ has a $2$-element $g$ with Chernikov centralizer. It is proved that if the involution in $\langle g\rangle$ has nilpotent centralizer, then $G$ has a soluble subgroup of finite index.

This paper examines order three elements of finite groups which normalize no nontrivial 2-subgroup. The motivation for finding such elements arises out of a problem in modular representation theory. The question of when these elements…

Brauer and Fowler noted restrictions on the structure of a finite group G in terms of the order of the centralizer of an involution t in G. We consider variants of these themes. We first note that for an arbitrary finite group G of even…

A finite group $G$ is called $k$-factorizable if for every ordered factorization $|G|=a_1\cdots a_k$ into integers each greater than $1$ there exist subsets $A_1,\dots,A_k\subseteq G$ such that $|A_i|=a_i$ for each $i$ and $G=A_1\cdots…

Finite groups with very few character values are characterized. The following is the main result of this article: a finite non-abelian group has precisely four character values if and only if it is the generalized dihedral group of a…

Suppose $C(G)$ denotes the set of all cyclic subgroups of a finite group $G$, and $\mathcal{O}_{2}(G)$ denotes the number of elements of order $2$ in $G$. In [Marius T., Finite groups with a certain number of cyclic subgroups. The American…

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…

Given a finite group $G$, let $Cent(G)$ denote the set of distinct centralizers of elements of $G$. The group $G$ is called $n$-centralizer if $|Cent(G)|=n$ and primitive $n$-centralizer if $|Cent(G)|=|Cent(\frac{G}{Z(G)})|=n$. In this…

The c-dimension of a group G is the maximal length of a chain of nested centralizers in G. We prove that a locally finite group of finite c-dimension k has less than 5k nonabelian composition factors.

A longstanding conjecture asserts that every non-abelian finite $p$-group $G$ admits a non-inner automorphism of order $p$. The conjecture is valid for finite $p$-groups of class 2. Here, we prove every finite non-abelian $p$-group $G$ of…

Let $G$ be a finite non-abelian group and $m=|G|/|Z(G)|$. In this paper we investigate $m$-centralizer group $G$ with cyclic center and we will prove that if $G$ is a finite non-abelian $m$-centralizer $CA$-group, then there exists an…
