We gather tools for proving the inductive McKay--Navarro (or Galois--McKay) condition for groups of Lie type and odd primes. We use this to establish a bijection in the case of quasisimple groups of Lie type A satisfying the equivariance…

We give a complete and irredundant list of the finite groups $G$ for which Aut$(G)$, acting naturally on $G$, has precisely $3$ orbits. There are 7 infinite families: one abelian, one non-nilpotent, three families of non-abelian $2$-groups…

In 1934, Garrett Birkhoff has shown that the number of isomorphism classes of finite metabelian groups of order $p^{22}$ tends to infinity with $p$. More precisely, for each prime number $p$ there is a family…

In this paper we study the ratio between the number of $p$-elements and the order of a Sylow $p$-subgroup of a finite group $G$. As well known, this ratio is a positive integer and we conjecture that, for every group $G$, it is at least the…

Let $G$ be a finite solvable group. We show that $G$ does not have a normal nonabelian Sylow $p$-subgroup when its prime character degree graph $\Delta(G)$ satisfies a technical hypothesis.

Let $p$ be a prime and $G$ a pro-$p$ group of finite rank that admits a faithful, self-similar action on the $p$-ary rooted tree. We prove that if the set $\{g\in G \ | \ g^{p^n}=1\}$ is a nontrivial subgroup for some $n$, then $G$ is a…

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,…

In this paper, we discuss about finite groups in which, CGH = NGH, for every abelian subgroup H of non prime power order. Also, we classify all such nilpotent and minimal non nilpotent groups.

Let p be a fixed prime. An Abelian p-group is an Abelian group (not necessarily finitely generated) in which every element has for its order some power of p. The countable Abelian p-groups are classified by Ulm's theorem, and Khisamiev…

In this paper we prove that if there is a regular Paley type partial difference set in an Abelian group $G$ of order $v$, where $v=p_1^{2k_1}p_2^{2k_2}\cdots p_n^{2k_n}$, $n\ge 2$, $p_1$, $p_2$, $\cdots$, $p_n$ are distinct odd prime…

This thesis has three goals related to the automorphism groups of finite $p$-groups. The primary goal is to provide a complete proof of a theorem showing that, in some asymptotic sense, the automorphism group of almost every finite…

In this paper, we show that the Alperin-McKay conjecture holds for 2-blocks of maximal defect. A major step in the proof is the verification of the inductive Alperin-McKay condition for the principal 2-block of groups of Lie type in odd…

A celebrated result of J. Thompson says that if a finite group $G$ has a fixed-point-free automorphism of prime order, then $G$ is nilpotent. The main purpose of this note is to extend this result to finite inverse semigroups. An earlier…

In this paper we consider two functions related to the arithmetic and geometric means of element orders of a finite group, showing that certain lower bounds on such functions strongly affect the group structure. In particular, for every…

Over any partially ordered abelian group whose positive cone is closed in an appropriate sense and has finitely many faces, modules that satisfy a weak finiteness condition admit finite primary decompositions. This conclusion rests on the…

We say that finite groups are isospectral if they have the same sets of orders of elements. It is known that every nonsolvable finite group $G$ isospectral to a finite simple group has a unique nonabelian composition factor, that is, the…

Let p be an odd prime, F the field of p elements and G a finite abelian p-group with an arbitrary involutory automorphism. Extend this automorphism to the group algebra FG and consider the unitary and the symmetric normalized units of FG.…

In this paper, we compute the essential $l$-dimension of the finite groups of classical Lie type for odd primes $l$ not equal to the defining prime, specifically the general linear groups, the symplectic groups, the orthogonal groups, and…

This survey on the automorphism groups of finite p-groups focuses on three major topics: explicit computations for familiar finite p-groups, such as the extraspecial p-groups and Sylow p-subgroups of Chevalley groups; constructing p-groups…

One of the classical problems in group theory is determining the set of positive integers $n$ such that every group of order $n$ has a particular property $P$, such as cyclic or abelian. We first present the Sylow theorems and the idea of…
