In this paper and its sequel we continue our study of nilpotent symplectic alternating algebras. In particular we give a full classification of such algebras of dimension $10$ over any field. It is known that symplectic alternating algebras…

This paper deals with the classification of groups $G$ such that power graphs and proper power graphs of $G$ are line graphs. In fact, we classify all finite nilpotent groups whose power graphs are line graphs. Also, we categorize all…

We prove that, over a field $\mathbb{F}$ of odd characteristic $p$, a companion matrix $C$ is the sum of $E$ and $N$, with $E$ $p$-potent (i.e. $E^p = E$,) and $N$ nilpotent, if and only if the trace of $C$ is an integer multiple of unity…

The main theorem in this article shows that a group of odd order which admits the alternating group of degree 5 with an element of order 5 acting fixed point freely is nilpotent of class at most two. For all odd primes r, other than 5, we…

Let p be a prime. Uniform pro-p groups play a central role in the theory of p-adic Lie groups. Indeed, a topological group admits the structure of a p-adic Lie group if and only if it contains an open pro-p subgroup which is uniform.…

Let $G$ be an amenable group. We define and study an algebra $\mathcal{A}_{sn}(G)$, which is related to invariant means on the subnormal subgroups of $G$. For a just infinite amenable group $G$, we show that $\mathcal{A}_{sn}(G)$ is…

Suppose $C(G)$ denotes the set of all cyclic subgroups of a finite group $G$, and $\mathcal{O}_{2}(G)$ denotes the number of elements of order $2$ in $G$. In [Marius T., Finite groups with a certain number of cyclic subgroups. The American…

A classical result of Baer states that a finite group $ G $ which is the product of two normal supersoluble subgroups is supersoluble if and only if $ G' $ is nilpotent. In this article we show that if $ G=AB $ is the product of…

Let $G$ be a simple complex algebraic group, $P$ a parabolic subgroup of $G$ and $N$ the unipotent radical of $P.$ The so-called equivariant compactification of $N$ by $G/P$ is given by an action of $N$ on $G/P$ with a dense open orbit…

The power graph $\mathcal{P}(G)$ of a finite group $G$ is a graph whose vertex set is the group $G$ and distinct elements $x,y\in G$ are adjacent if one is a power of the other, that is, $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if $x\in\langle y\rangle$ or…

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…

The power graph P(G) of a group G is a graph with vertex set G, where two vertices u and v are adjacent if and only if one is the power of the other. In this paper, we raise and study the following question: For which natural numbers n…

A finite group $P$ is said to be \emph{primary} if $|P|=p^{a}$ for some prime $p$. We say a primary subgroup $P$ of a finite group $G$ satisfies the \emph{Frobenius normalizer condition} in $G$ if $N_{G}(P)/C_{G}(P)$ is a $p$-group provided…

Let V(F_pG) be the group of normalized units of the group algebra F_pG of a finite nonabelian p-group G over the field F_p of p elements. Our goal is to investigate the power structure of V(F_pG), when it has nilpotency class p. As a…

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

Let $ H $ be a subgroup of a finite group $ G $. We say that $ H $ satisfies the $ \Pi $-property in $ G $ if for any chief factor $ L / K $ of $ G $, $ |G/K : N_{G/K}(HK/K\cap L/K )| $ is a $ \pi (HK/K\cap L/K) $-number. In this paper, we…

A (left) Engel sink of an element g of a group G is a subset containing all sufficiently long commutators [...[[x,g],g],...,g], where x ranges over G. We prove that if p is a prime and G a finite group in which, for some positive integer m,…

A strong Gelfand pair (G,H) is a group G together with a subgroup H such that every irreducible character of H induces a multiplicity-free character of G. We classify the strong Gelfand pairs of the special linear groups SL(2, p) where p is…

A (vector space) basis B of a Lie algebra is said to be very nilpotent if all the iterated brackets of elements of B are nilpotent. In this note, we prove a refinement of Engel's Theorem. We show that a Lie algebra has a very nilpotent…

Let $\mathscr{F}$ be a formation and $G$ a finite group. The weak norm of a subgroup $H$ in $G$ with respect to $\mathscr{F}$ is defined by $N_{\mathscr{F}}(G,H)=\underset{T\leq H}{\bigcap}N_G(T^{\mathscr{F}})$. In particular,…
