Suppose $p$ is a prime and $S$ is a Sylow $p$-subgroup of a finite group $G$. If $S$ is normal in $G$, then $Z(S)$ is the direct product of $S \cap Z(G)$ with $[Z(S), G]$. We prove an analogous result for all groups except in some cases…

For every finite quasisimple group of Lie type $G$, every irreducible character $\chi$ of $G$, and every element $g$ of $G$, we give an exponential upper bound for the character ratio $|\chi(g)|/\chi(1)$ with exponent linear in $\log_{|G|}…

Let $G$ be a finite solvable group, and let $p$ be a prime. In this note, we prove that $p$ does not divide $\varphi(1)$ for every irreducible monomial $p$-Brauer character $\varphi$ of $G$ if and only if $G$ has a normal Sylow…

Let G be a group and H be a subgroup of G which is either finite or of finite index in G. In this note, we give some characterizations for normality of H in G. As a consequence we get a very short and elementary proof of the Main Theorem of…

A classical theorem of R. Baer describes the nilpotent radical of a finite group G as the set of all Engel elements, i.e. elements y in G such that for any x in G the n-th commutator [x,y,...,y] equals 1 for n big enough. We obtain a…

Let $p$ be a prime number, $G$ be a $p$-solvable finite group and $P$ be a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G$. We prove that $G$ is $p$-supersolvable if $N_G(P)$ is $p$-supersolvable and if there is a subgroup $H$ of $P$ with $P' \le H \le \Phi(P)$…

Let $p$ and $q$ be different primes and let $G$ be a finite $q$-solvable group. We prove that $\mathrm{Irr}_{p'}(G)\subseteq \mathrm{Irr}_{q'}(G)$ if and only if $\mathbf{N}_G(P)\subseteq \mathbf{N}_G(Q)$ and $\mathbf{C}_{Q'}(P)=1$ for some…

Navarro has conjectured a necessary and sufficient condition for a finite group $G$ to have a self-normalising Sylow $2$-subgroup, which is given in terms of the ordinary irreducible characters of $G$. The first-named author has reduced the…

We have found a list of finite simple groups with cyclic Sylow $p$-subgroup whose principal $p$-blocks have Brauer trees in the shape of a star, that is a tree of diameter at most $2$. Moreover, for an arbitrary finite group $G$ with cyclic…

Let $G$ be a finite nilpotent group, $\chi$ and $\psi$ be irreducible complex characters of $G$ of prime degree. Assume that $\chi(1)=p$. Then either the product $\chi\psi$ is a multiple of an irreducible character or $\chi\psi$ is the…

Let $G$ be a finite group, $n$ a positive integer. $\pi(n)$ denotes the set of all prime divisors of $n$ and $\pi(G)=\pi(|G|)$. The prime graph $\Gamma(G)$ of $G$, defined by Grenberg and Kegel, is a graph whose vertex set is $\pi(G)$, two…

In this paper, we study some variations of the well-known It\^{o}-Michler theorem for $p$-Brauer characters using various inequalities involving the $p$-Brauer character degrees of finite groups. Several new criteria for the existence of a…

Let $\mathfrak{o}$ be a complete discrete valuation ring with finide residue field $\mathsf{k}$ of odd characteristic, and let $\mathbf{G}$ be a symplectic or special orthogonal group scheme over $\mathfrak{o}$. For any $\ell\in\mathbb{N}$…

In this report we summarize this work, all finite simple groups $G$ can determined uniformly using their orders $|G|$ and the set $\pi_e(G)$ of their element orders.

In this notes we construct and count all ordinary irreducible characters of Sylow $p$-subgroups of the Steinberg triality groups ${}^3D_4(p^{3m})$.

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$, and assume that $p$ is a very good prime for $G$. Let $P$ be a parabolic subgroup whose unipotent radical $U_P$ has nilpotence class less than…

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $\Irr(G)$ denote the set of irreducible complex characters of $G$. For a normal subgroup $N \trianglelefteq G$ and $\chi \in \Irr(G)$, we say that $\chi$ is \emph{fully ramified} over $N$ if $\chi(g)=0$ for…

We say that a finite group $G$ acting on a set $\Omega$ has Property $(*)_p$ for a prime $p$ if $P_\omega$ is a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G_\omega$ for all $\omega\in\Omega$ and Sylow $p$-subgroups $P$ of $G$. Property $(*)_p$ arose in the…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $n_p(G)$ the number of Sylow $p$-subgroups of $G$. In this paper, we prove if $n_p(G)<p^2$ then almost all numbers $n_p(G)$ are a power of a prime.

Let ${\rm GK}(G)$ be the prime graph associated with a finite group $G$ and $D(G)$ be the degree pattern of $G$. A finite group $G$ is said to be $k$-fold OD-characterizable if there exist exactly $k$ non-isomorphic groups $H$ such that…
