We prove in this paper that a finite almost simple group $R$ with socle the non-abelian simple group $S$ possesses a conjugacy class of core-free maximal subgroups whose index coincides with the smallest index $\operatorname{l}(S)$ of a…

Let $G$ be a finite group, and $\pi$ be a set of primes. The $\pi$-core $\mathbf{O}_\pi(G)$ is the unique maximal normal $\pi$-subgroup of $G$, and $b(G)$ is the largest irreducible character degree of $G$. In 2017, Qian and Yang proved…

Noether, Fleischmann and Fogarty proved that if the characteristic of the underlying field does not divide the order $|G|$ of a finite group $G$, then the polynomial invariants of $G$ are generated by polynomials of degrees at most $|G|$.…

We study the codegree isomorphism problem for finite simple groups. In particular, we show that such a group is determined by the codegrees (counting multiplicity) of its irreducible characters. The proof is uniform for all simple groups…

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…

The finite groups having an indecomposable polynomial invariant whose degree is at least half of the order of the group are classified. Apart from four sporadic exceptions these are exactly the groups having a cyclic subgroup of index at…

In this article we introduce and study a class of finite groups for which the orders of normal subgroups satisfy a certain inequality. It is closely connected to some well-known arithmetic classes of natural numbers.

We classify those sequences $\langle S_{n} \mid n \in \mathbb{N} \rangle$ of finite simple nonabelian groups such that the full product $\prod_{n} S_{n}$ has property (FA).

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…

We characterise finite groups such that for an odd prime $p$ all the irreducible characters in its principal $p$-block have odd degree. We show that this situation does not occur in non-abelian simple groups of order divisible by $p$ unless…

Following partially a suggestion by Pyber, we prove that the diameter of a product of non-abelian finite simple groups is bounded linearly by the maximum diameter of its factors. For completeness, we include the case of abelian factors and…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $P$ a Sylow $2$-subgroup of $G$. We obtain both asymptotic and explicit bounds for the number of odd-degree irreducible complex representations of $G$ in terms of the size of the abelianization of $P$. To do…

The prime simplicial complex $\Pi(G)$ of a finite group $G$ is composed of all sets of primes $S$ where $G$ has an element of order the product of primes in $S$, with the subsets partially ordered by inclusion. This complex was introduced…

Given a finite group $G$, denote by ${\rm D}(G)$ the degree pattern of $G$ and by ${\rm OC}(G)$ the set of all order components of $G$. Denote by $h_{{\rm OD}}(G)$ (resp. $h_{{\rm OC}}(G)$) the number of isomorphism classes of finite groups…

We prove that every non-abelian finite simple group is generated by an involution and an element of prime order.

For a finite nonabelian group $G$ let $\rat(G)$ be the largest ratio of degrees of two nonlinear irreducible characters of $G$. We show that nonabelian composition factors of $G$ are controlled by $\rat(G)$ in some sense. Specifically, if…

In a finite group $ G $, $ \psi(G) $ denotes the sum of element orders of $ G $. A finite group $ G $ is said to be a $\mathscr{B}_{\psi}$-group if $ \psi(H) < |G| $ for any proper subgroup $ H $ of $ G $. In \cite{Lazorec} Lazorec asked:…

Using only undergraduate-level methods, we classify all groups of order $p^4$, where $p$ is an odd prime.

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…

We show that there is a class of finite groups, the so-called perfect groups, which cannot exhibit anomalies. This implies that all non-Abelian finite simple groups are anomaly-free. On the other hand, non-perfect groups generically suffer…
