Let $G$ be an infinite abelian group with $|2G|=|G|$. We show that if $G$ is not the direct sum of a group of exponent 3 and the group of order 2, then $G$ possesses a perfect additive basis; that is, there is a subset $S\subseteq G$ such…

Let $T$ be a (first order complete) dependent theory, ${\mathfrak{C}}$ a $\bar\kappa$-saturated model of $T$ and $G$ a definable subgroup which is abelian. Among subgroups of bounded index which are the union of $<\bar\kappa$ type definable…

Every finite group $G$ has a normal series each of whose factors is either a solvable group or a direct product of nonabelian simple groups. The minimum number of nonsolvable factors attained on all possible such series is called the…

We enumerate the 15768 perfect groups of order up to $2\cdot 10^6$, up to isomorphism, thus also completing the missing cases in the prior classification. The work supplements the by now well-understood computer classifications of solvable…

A group $G$ is said to have dense solitary subgroups if each non-empty open interval in its subgroup lattice $L(G)$ contains a solitary subgroup. In this short note, we find all finite groups satisfying this property.

A supercharacter theory for a finite group $G$ is a set of superclasses each of which is a union of conjugacy classes together with a set of sums of irreducible characters called supercharacters that together satisfy certain compatibility…

Given a finite group $G$, we denote by $\psi\,'(G)$ the product of element orders of $G$. Our main result proves that the restriction of $\psi\,'$ to abelian $p$-groups of order $p^n$ is strictly increasing with respect to a natural order…

Let $G$ be a classical group defined over a finite field. We consider the following fundamental problems concerning conjugacy in $G$: 1. List a representative for each conjugacy class of $G$. 2. Given $x \in G$, describe the centralizer of…

We summarize several results about non-simplicity, solvability and normal structure of finite groups related to the number of conjugacy classes appearing in the product or the power of conjugacy classes. We also collect some problems that…

We show that a finite group $G$ admitting an automorphism $\alpha$ such that the function $G\rightarrow G$, $g\mapsto g\alpha(g)$, is bijective is necessarily solvable.

Let $G$ be a $5$-group of maximal class and $\gamma_2(G) = [G, G]$ its derived group. Assume that the abelianization $G/\gamma_2(G)$ is of type $(5, 5)$ and the transfers $V_{H_1\to \gamma_2(G)}$ and $V_{H_2\to \gamma_2(G)}$ are trivial,…

Let $ G $ be a finite non-solvable group with a primitive irreducible character $ \chi $ that vanishes on one conjugacy class. We show that $ G $ has a homomorphic image that is either almost simple or a Frobenius group. We also classify…

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…

In this paper, we study the structure of finite groups with a large number of conjugacy classes of $p$-elements for some prime $p$. As consequences, we obtain some new criteria for the existence of normal $p$-complements in finite groups.

For a finite group $G$, we study the probability $sp(G)$ that, given two elements $x,y \in G$, the cyclic subgroup $\langle x \rangle$ is subnormal in the subgroup $\langle x, y \rangle$. This can be seen as an intermediate invariant…

Let $G$ be a finite group. In this short note, we give a criterion of nilpotency of $G$ based on the existence of elements of certain order in each section of $G$.

Let $k$ be a perfect field such that for every $n$ there are only finitely many field extensions, up to isomorphism, of $k$ of degree $n$. If $G$ is a reductive algebraic group defined over $k$, whose characteristic is very good for $G$,…

If $G$ is a finite group and $x\in G$ then the set of all elements of $G$ having the same order as $x$ is called {\em an order subset of $G$ determined by $x$} (see [2]). We say that $G$ is a {\em group with perfect order subsets} or…

We introduce the subgroup identification problem, and show that there is a finitely presented group G for which it is unsolvable, and that it is uniformly solvable in the class of finitely presented locally Hopfian groups. This is done as…

We prove that, for every integer $n \ge 2$, a finite or infinite countable group $G$ can be embedded into a 2-generated group $H$ in such a way that the solvability of quadratic equations of length at most $n$ is preserved, i.e., every…
