The proper commuting graph $\mathcal{C}^{**}(G)$ of a finite group $G$ is the simple graph whose vertices are the noncentral elements of $G$ and two distinct vertices are adjacent if they commute. In this paper, we study the domination…

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…

Let G and F be finitely generated groups with infinitely many ends and let A and B be graph of groups decompositions of F and G such that all edge groups are finite and all vertex groups have at most one end. We show that G and F are…

For a finite group $G$, let $\psi(G)$ be the sum of the orders of its elements, and define the corresponding normalized sum as $\psi'(G) := \psi(G)/\psi(\mathcal{C}_{|G|})$, where $\mathcal{C}_{|G|}$ is the cyclic group of the same order as…

We study three restrictions on normalizers or centralizers in finite p-groups, namely: (i) |N_G(H) : H| <= p^k for every H non-normal in G, (ii) |N_G(<g>) : <g>| <= p^k for every <g> non-normal in G, and (iii) |C_G(g) : <g>| <= p^k for…

We obtain the formula computing the number of isomorphic classes of element systems with characters over finite commutative group $G$.

We obtain certain results on a finite $p$-group whose central automorphisms are all class preserving. In particular, we prove that if $G$ is a finite $p$-group whose central automorphisms are all class preserving, then $d(G)$ is even, where…

We consider formal maps in any finite dimension $d$ with coefficients in an integral domain $K$ with identity. Those invertible under formal composition form a group $\mathcal{G}$. We consider the centraliser $C_g$ of an element…

A group element is called a generalized torsion if a finite product of its conjugates is equal to the identity. We prove that in a nilpotent or FC-group, the generalized torsion elements are all torsion elements. Moreover, we compute the…

Let $\cal F$ be a class of groups. A chief factor $H/K$ of a group $G$ is called \emph{${\cal F}$-central in $G$} provided $(H/K)\rtimes (G/C_{G}(H/K)) \in {\cal F}$. We write $Z_{\pi{\cal F}}(G)$ to denote the product of all normal…

For any group G, let C(G) denote the set of centralizers of G. We say that a group G has n centralizers (G is a Cn-group) if |C(G)| = n. In this note, we prove that every finite Cn-group with n ? 21 is soluble and this estimate is sharp.…

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.

In this paper we present two new results on the number of certain conjugacy classes of a finite group. For a finite group $G$, let $n(G)$ be the maximum of $k_{p}(G)$ taken over all primes $p$ where $k_{p}(G)$ denotes the number of…

We classify finite groups in which the centralisers of certain non-central elements are soluble. This includes a full structural description of groups whose non-central element centralisers are all soluble, and a reduction theorem for the…

Let G be a finite group. An element x in G is a real element if x is conjugate to its inverse in G. For x in G, the conjugacy class x^G is said to be a real conjugacy class if every element of x^G is real. We show that if 4 divides no real…

Finite groups $G$ such that $G/Z(G) \simeq C_2 \times C_2$ where $C_2$ denotes a cyclic group of order 2 and $Z(G)$ is the center of $G$ were studied in \cite{casofinito} and were used to classify finite loops with alternative loop…

Let G be any finitely generated infinite group. Denote by K(G) the FC-centre of G, i.e., the subgroup of all elements of G whose centralizers are of finite index in G. Let QI(G) denote the group of quasi-isometries of G with respect to word…

For a finite group $G$ and a positive integer $n$, let $G(n)$ be the set of all elements in $G$ such that $x^{n}=1$. The groups $G$ and $H$ are said to be of the same (order) type if $G(n)=H(n)$, for all $n$. The main aim of this paper is…

We study finite p-groups G of coclass upto 4 for which the group Aut_z(G) of all central automorphisms of G is of minimal possible order. As a consequence, we obtain very short and elementary proofs of main results of Sharma and Gumber [7].

We call a semigroup $S$ f-noetherian if every right congruence of finite index on $S$ is finitely generated. We prove that every finitely generated semigroup is f-noetherian, and investigate whether the properties of being f-noetherian and…
