A pro-p Cappitt group is a pro-p group G such that the subgroup topologically generated by all non-normal closed subgroups is a proper subgroup of G. In this paper we prove that non-abelian pro-p Cappitt groups whose torsion subgroup is…

Let $G$ be a finite solvable group. Then $G$ always has a useful presentation, which we call a "long presentation". Using a "long presentation" of $G$, we present an inductive method of constructing the irreducible representations of $G$…

We obtain the formula computing the number of isomorphic classes of element systems with characters over finite commutative group $G$.

In this note we give some new results concerning the subgroup commutativity degree of a finite group $G$. These are obtained by considering the minimum of subgroup commutativity degrees of all sections of $G$.

Let $G$ be a finite simple group of Lie type and let $P$ be a Sylow $2$-subgroup of $G$. In this paper, we prove that for any nontrivial element $x \in G$, there exists $g \in G$ such that $G = \langle P, x^g \rangle$. By combining this…

Let $G$ be a finite group and assume $p$ is a prime dividing the order of $G$. Suppose for any such $p$, that every two abelian $p$-subgroups of $G$ of equal order are conjugate. The structure of such a group $G$ has been settled in this…

Let G be a powerful finite p-group. In this note, we give a short elementary proof of the following facts for all $i\ge 0$: (i) $\exp \Omega_-i(G)\le p^i$ for odd p, and $\exp \Omega_-i(G)\le 2^{i+1}$ for p = 2; (ii) the index $|G:G^{p^i}|$…

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…

We provide polynomial lower bounds for residual finiteness of residually finite, finitely generated solvable groups that admit infinite order elements in the Fitting subgroup of strict distortion at least exponential. For this class of…

Recent investigations on the set of commutators between the elements of a finite group having relatively prime orders have prompt us to propose a variant of the Ore conjecture: For every finite non-abelian simple group and for every $g\in…

Consider a nonsolvable finite group G, where R(G) represents the solvable radical of G. For any element x in G, the solvabilizer of x in G, denoted by Sol_G(x), is defined as the set of all elements y in G such that the subgroup generated…

Let $n$ be a positive integer and $G(n)$ denote the number of non-isomorphic finite groups of order $n$. It is well-known that $G(n) = 1$ if and only if $(n,\phi(n)) = 1$, where $\phi(n)$ and $(a, b)$ denote the Euler's totient function and…

A group $G$ is said to have restricted centralizers if for every $x\in G$ the centralizer $C_G(x)$ either is finite or has finite index in $G$. Shalev showed that a profinite group with restricted centralizers is virtually abelian. Here we…

Let $G$ be a finite group of Lie type and $\St_k$ be the Steinberg representation of $G$, defined over a field $k$. We are interested in the case where $k$ has prime characteristic~$\ell$ and $\St_k$ is reducible. Tinberg has shown that the…

It is a theorem of Artin, Tits et al. that a finite simple group is determined by its order, with the exception of the groups (A_3(2), A_2(4)) and (B_n(q), C_n(q)) for n > 2, q odd. We investigate the situation for finite semisimple groups…

If $G$ is a finite Abelian group, define $s_{k}(G)$ to be the minimal $m$ such that a sequence of $m$ elements in $G$ always contains a $k$-element subsequence which sums to zero. Recently Bitz et al. proved that if $n = exp(G)$, then…

In this note we provide some counterexamples for the conjecture of Moret\'{o} on finite simple groups, which says that any finite simple group $G$ can determined in terms of its order $|G|$ and the number of elements of order $p$, where $p$…

Groups definable in simple theories retain the chain conditions and decomposition properties known from stable groups, up to commensurability. In the small case, if a generic type of G is not foreign to some type q, there is a q-internal…

We show that if $H \leq G$ is a closed amenable and cocompact subgroup of a unimodular locally compact group, then the reduced group C*-algebra of $G$ is not simple. Equivalently, there are unitary representations of $G$ that are weakly…

A sufficient condition for the existence of HNN-extensions in the class of groups of odd exponent $n \gg 1$ is given in the following form. Let $Q$ be a group of odd exponent $n > 2^{48}$ and $\mathcal G$ be an HNN-extension of $Q$. If $A…
