We continue the investigation, that began in [3] and [4], into finite groups whose set of nontrivial conjugacy class sizes form an arithmetic progression. Let $G$ be a finite group and denote the set of conjugacy class sizes of $G$ by ${\rm…

It has been proved recently by Moreto and Craven that the order of a finite group is bounded in terms of the largest multiplicity of its irreducible character degrees. A conjugacy class version of this result was proved for solvable groups…

Let $G$ be a group. Two elements $x,y \in G$ are said to be in the same $z$-class if their centralizers in $G$ are conjugate within $G$. Consider $\mathbb F$ a perfect field of characteristic $\neq 2$, which has a non-trivial Galois…

Long ago, Arad and Herzog (AH) conjectured that, in finite simple groups, the product of two conjugacy classes of length greater than one is never a single conjugacy class. We discuss implications of this conjecture for non-abelian anyons…

We study the closed group of homeomorphisms of the boundary of real hyperbolic space generated by a cocompact Kleinian group $G_1$ and a quasiconformal conjugate $h^{-1}G_2 h$ of a cocompact group $G_2$. We show that if the conjugacy $h$ is…

We give a geometric proof based on recent work of Eskin, Fisher and Whyte that the lamplighter group $L_n$ has infinitely many twisted conjugacy classes for any automorphism $\vp$ only when $n$ is divisible by 2 or 3, originally proved by…

We identify the simple algebraic groups over number fields that are, in a suitable sense, determined by their finite adele points. Assuming CSP and Grothendieck rigidity, our results essentially characterize higher rank arithmetic groups…

In this short article, we prove that any automorphism of the R. Thompson's group $F$ has infinitely many twisted conjugacy classes. The result follows from the work of Matthew Brin, together with a standard facts on R. Thompson's group $F$,…

In this paper we study arithmetical and structural features of a finite group that possesses exactly two conjugacy class sizes that are composite numbers.

With K=Q((3812377)^(1/2)) we give the first example of an algebraic number field possessing a 5-class tower of exact length L(5,K)=3. The rigorous proof is conducted by means of the p-group generation algorithm, showing the existence of a…

We prove that there exist finitely presented, residually finite groups that are profinitely rigid in the class of all finitely presented groups but not in the class of all finitely generated groups. These groups are of the form $\Gamma…

We prove that any permutation group of degree $n \geq 4$ has at most $5^{(n-1)/3}$ conjugacy classes.

We prove the Arad-Herzog conjecture for various families of finite simple groups- if A and B are nontrivial conjugacy classes, then AB is not a conjugacy class. We also prove that if G is a finite simple group of Lie type and A and B are…

In this paper we consider finite 2-groups with odd number of real conjugacy classes. On one hand we show that if $k$ is an odd natural number less than 24, then there are only finitely many finite 2-groups with exactly $k$ real conjugacy…

For the finite groups GU(3), SU(3), GL(3), SL(3) over a finite field we solve the class product problem, i.e., we give a complete list of $m$-tuples of conjugacy classes whose product does not contain the identity matrix.

We classify the finite groups $G$ which satisfies the condition that every complex irreducible character,whose degree's square doesn't divide the index of its kernel in $G$, lies in the same Galois conjugacy class.

We classify all finite groups G such that the product of any two non-inverse conjugacy classes of G is always a conjugacy class of G. We also classify all finite groups G for which the product of any two G-conjugacy classes which are not…

We exhibit a rigid local system of rank six on the affine line in characteristic $p=5$ whose arithmetic and geometric monodromy groups are the finite group $2.J_2$ ($J_2$ the Hall-Janko sporadic group) in one of its two (Galois-conjugate)…

Let $k$ be a field with $u$-invariant $\leq2$. Assume further that $k$ is not quadratically closed, $\mathsf{char}(k)\neq 2$ and $|k|\geq 5$. It is known that the covering number of both $\text{SL}_2(k)$ and $\text{PSL}_2(k)$ is three,…

Let $k(G)$ be the number of conjugacy classes of finite groups $G$ and $\pi_e(G)$ be the set of the orders of elements in $G$. Then there exists a non-negative integer $k$ such that $k(G)=|\pi_e(G)|+k$. We call such groups to be $co(k)$…
