Let $G$ be a nonabelian group. We say that $G$ has an abelian partition, if there exists a partition of $G$ into commuting subsets $A_1, A_2, \ldots, A_n$ of $G$, such that $|A_i|\geqslant 2$ for each $i=1, 2, \ldots, n$. This paper…

Let $o(G)$ be the average order of a finite group $G$. We show that if $o(G)<c$, where $c\in \lbrace \frac{13}{6}, \frac{11}{4}\rbrace$, then $G$ is an elementary abelian 2-group or a solvable group, respectively. Also, we prove that the…

An order is a commutative ring that as an abelian group is finitely generated and free. A commutative ring is reduced if it has no non-zero nilpotent elements. In this paper we use a new tool, namely, the fact that every reduced order has a…

In this note some properties of the sum of element orders of a finite abelian group are studied.

Let $G$ and $H$ be groups that act compatibly on each other. We denote by $[G,H]$ the derivative subgroup of $G$ under $H$. We prove that if the set $\{g^{-1}g^h \mid g \in G, h \in H\}$ has $m$ elements, then the derivative $[G,H]$ is…

This is the second installment of an exposition of an ACL2 formalization of finite group theory. The first, which was presented at the 2022 ACL2 workshop, covered groups and subgroups, cosets, normal subgroups, and quotient groups,…

Let $G$ be a group of order $n$ and $H$ be a subgroup of order $m$ of $G$. Denote by $\psi_H(G)$ the sum of element orders relative to $H$ of $G$. It is known that if $G$ is nilpotent, then $\psi_H(G)\leq\psi_{H_m}(G)$, where $H_m$ is the…

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…

For a finite group $G$, let $\psi(G)$ denote the sum of element orders of $G$. This function was introduced by Amiri, Amiri, and Isaacs in 2009 and they proved that for any finite group $G$ of order $n$, $\psi(G)$ is maximum if and only if…

We provide structural criteria for some finite factorised groups $G = AB$ when the conjugacy class sizes in $G$ of certain $\pi$-elements in $A\cup B$ are either $\pi$-numbers or $\pi'$-numbers, for a set of primes $\pi$. In particular, we…

For every finite abelian group $G$, there are positive integers $n$ and $d$ such that $G$ is isomorphic to the multiplicative group of $d$-th powers of reduced residues modulo $n$.

Let $S$ be a class of groups and let $f_S (n)$ be the number of isomorphism classes of groups in $S$ of order $n$. Let $f(n)$ count the number of groups of order $n$ up to isomorphism. The asymptotic bounds for $f(n)$ behave differently…

There are various results in the literature which are part of the general philosophy that a finite group for which a certain parameter (for example, the number of conjugacy classes or the maximum number of elements inverted, squared or…

An $integral$ of a group $G$ is a group $H$ whose derived group (commutator subgroup) is isomorphic to $G$. This paper discusses integrals of groups, and in particular questions about which groups have integrals and how big or small those…

In a recent paper of the first author and I. M. Isaacs it was shown that if m = m(G) is the maximal order of an abelian subgroup of the finite group G, then |G| divides m! ([AI18, Thm. 5.2]). The purpose of this brief note is to improve on…

Let $\{G_i :i\in\N\}$ be a family of finite Abelian groups. We say that a subgroup $G\leq \prod\limits_{i\in \N}G_i$ is \emph{order controllable} if for every $i\in \mathbb{N}$ there is $n_i\in \mathbb{N}$ such that for each $c\in G$, there…

Denote by $G$ a finite group and let $\psi(G)$ denote the sum of element orders in $G$. In 2009, H.Amiri, S.M.Jafarian Amiri and I.M.Isaacs proved that if $|G|=n$ and $G$ is non-cyclic, then $\psi(G)<\psi(C_n)$, where $C_n$ denotes the…

We obtain a classification of the finite two-generated cyclic-by-abelian groups of prime-power order. For that we associate to each such group $G$ a list $\inv(G)$ of numerical group invariants which determines the isomorphism type of $G$.…

In this paper, we describe the structure of finite groups whose element orders or proper (abelian) subgroup orders form an arithmetic progression of ratio $r\geq 2$. This extends the case $r=1$ studied in previous papers \cite{1,8,4}.

Let $G$ be a finite non-cyclic $p$-group of order at least $p^3$. If $G$ has an abelian maximal subgroup, or if $G$ has an elementary abelian centre with $C_G(Z(\Phi(G))) \ne \Phi(G)$, then $|G|$ divides $|\text{Aut}(G)|$.
