Let $(G,Z(G))$ be a Camina pair. We prove that $G$ must be a $p$-group for some prime $p$. We also prove that $|Z(G)| < |G:Z(G)|^{3/4}$. Also, we discuss how one might build examples with $|Z(G)| > |G:Z(G)|^{1/2}$, although we are not able…

We consider the structure of finite $p$-groups $G$ having precisely three characteristic subgroups, namely $1$, $\Phi(G)$ and $G$. The structure of $G$ varies markedly depending on whether $G$ has exponent $p$ or $p^2$, and, in both cases,…

For odd primes we prove some structure theorems for finite $p$-groups $G$, such that $G''\neq 1$ and $|G'/G''|=p^3$. Building on results of Blackburn and Hall, it is shown that $\lcs G3$ is a maximal subgroup of $G'$, the group $G$ has a…

Every mathematician is familiar with the beautiful structure of finite commutative groups. What is less well known is that finite commutative semigroups also have a neat and well-described structure. We prove this in an efficient fashion.…

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].

Let $p$ be a prime and $F$ be a finite field of characteristic $p$. Suppose that $FG$ is the group algebra of the finite $p$-group $G$ over the field $F$. Let $V(FG)$ denote the group of normalized units in $FG$ and let $V_*(FG)$ denote the…

We study the trace set of the commutator subgroup of $\Gamma(2),$ a type of Local-Global problem about thin groups. We determine the local obstructions and then use the correspondence between binary quadratic forms and hyperbolic matrices…

A complex irreducible character of a finite group G is said to be p-constant, for some prime p dividing the order of G, if it takes constant value at the set of p-singular elements of G. In this paper we classify irreducible p-constant…

The so--called subgroup commutativity degree $sd(G)$ of a finite group $G$ is the number of permuting subgroups $(H,K) \in \mathrm{L}(G) \times \mathrm{L}(G)$, where $\mathrm{L}(G)$ is the subgroup lattice of $G$, divided by…

Let the group $G = AB$ be the product of subgroups $A$ and $B$, and let $p$ be a prime. We prove that $p$ does not divide the conjugacy class size (index) of each $p$-regular element of prime power order $x\in A\cup B$ if and only if $G$ is…

Let $q$ be a power of a prime $p$ and let $G$ be a completely reducible subgroup of $\mathrm{GL}(d,q)$. We prove that the number of composition factors of $G$ that have prime order $p$ is at most $(\varepsilon_q d-1)/(p-1)$, where…

For $G$ a finite group, let $d_2(G)$ denote the proportion of triples $(x, y, z) \in G^3$ such that $[x, y, z] = 1$. We determine the structure of finite groups $G$ such that $d_2(G)$ is bounded away from zero: if $d_2(G) \geq \epsilon >…

In this paper, we investigate the structure of finite group G by assuming that the intersections between p-sylowizers of some p-subgroups of G and $O^p(G)$ are S-permutable in G. We obtain some criterions for p-nilpotency of a finite group.

A p-group G is p-central if the central quotient has exponent p. We prove that for a subset of finite p-central p-groups, the order of the group G divides the order of Aut(G).

For G a group and g in G, we define mappings pg(G) and lg(G) from G into G by pg(x)=[x,g] and lg(x)=[g,x]. We let P(G) and L(G) denote the subsemigroups of the set of all mappings from G to G generated by {pg: g in G} and {lg: g in G},…

For each subgroup of GL_2(F_p) or order divisible by p, generated by (pseudo-)reflections, we compute the ideals of stable and generalized invariants. These groups and these ideals are related to the cohomology of compact Lie groups,…

In this paper, we study the posets of classes of subgroups of finite group having same set of orders of elements. We show that this poset is a chain only in the case of p-groups and moreover, we characterize all finite groups for which this…

The order sequence of a finite group $G$ is a non-decreasing finite sequence formed of the element orders of $G$. Several properties of order sequences were studied by P. J. Cameron and H. K. Dey in a recent paper that concludes with a list…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $n_p(G)$ the number of Sylow $p$-subgroups of $G$. In this paper, we prove if $n_p(G)<p^2$ then almost all numbers $n_p(G)$ are a power of a prime.
