Let $\Gamma_G$ denote a graph associated with a group $G$. A compelling question about finite groups asks whether or not a finite group $H$ must be nilpotent provided $\Gamma_H$ is isomorphic to $\Gamma_G$ for a finite nilpotent group $G$.…

In this paper we prove that a finite group of order $r$ has at most $$ 7.3722\cdot r^{\frac{\log_2r}{4}+1.5315}$$ subgroups.

We give an algorithm that decides whether a single equation in a group that is virtually a class $2$ nilpotent group with a virtually cyclic commutator subgroup, such as the Heisenberg group, admits a solution. This generalises the work of…

Given a finite group $G,$ we denote by $\Delta(G)$ the graph whose vertices are the proper subgroups of $G$ and in which two vertices $H$ and $K$ are joined by an edge if and only if $G=\langle H,K\rangle.$ We prove that if there exists a…

A finite group $G$ is said to be a $\mathcal{B}_{\psi}$-group if $\psi(H)<|G|$ for any proper subgroup $H$ of $G$, where $\psi(H)$ denotes the sum of element orders of $H$. In this paper, we characterize the $\mathcal{B}_{\psi}$-groups up…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $\sigma=\{\sigma_{i}|i\in I\}$ be a partition of the set of all primes $\mathbb{P}$, that is, $\mathbb{P}=\bigcup_{i\in I}\sigma_{i}$ and $\sigma_{i}\cap \sigma_{j}=\emptyset$ for all $i\neq j$. A chief factor…

A recurring theme in finite group theory is understanding how the structure of a finite group is determined by the arithmetic properties of group invariants. There are results in the literature determining the structure of finite groups…

The 'degree of k-step nilpotence' of a finite group G is the proportion of the tuples (x_1,...,x_{k+1}) in G^{k+1} for which the simple commutator [x_1,...,x_{k+1}] is equal to the identity. In this paper we study versions of this for an…

A description of finitely generated left nilpotent braces of class at most two is presented in this paper. The description heavily depends on the fact that if $B$ is left nilpotent of class at most $2$, that is $B^3 = 0$, then $B$ is right…

Let $G$ be a finite group admitting a coprime automorphism $\alpha$. Let $J_G(\alpha)$ denote the set of all commutators $[x,\alpha]$, where $x$ belongs to an $\alpha$-invariant Sylow subgroup of $G$. We show that $[G,\alpha]$ is soluble or…

Let p be a prime number. We give the explicit structure of 2- nilpotent multiplier for each finite 2-generator p-group of class two. Moreover, 2-capable groups in that class are characterized.

Let G be a group and N be the class of nilpotent groups. A subset A of G is said to be nonnilpotent if for any two distinct elements a and b in A, ha, bi 62 N. If, for any other nonnilpotent subset B in G, |A| ? |B|, then A is said to be a…

We give a characterization of the finite groups having nilpotent or abelian Hall $\pi$-subgroups which can easily be verified from the character table.

We prove that if $G$ is finite 2-generated $p$-group of nilpotence class at most 2 then the group algebra of $G$ with coefficients in the field with $p$ elements determines $G$ up to isomorphisms.

A basic fact taught in undergraduate algebra courses is that every finite nilpotent group is a direct product of $p$-groups. Already Bruck observed that this does not generalize to loops. In particular, there exist nilpotent loops of size…

In this paper, we determine the structure of the nilpotent multipliers of all pairs $(G,N)$ of finitely generated abelian groups where $N$ admits a complement in $G$. Moreover, some inequalities for the nilpotent multipliers of pairs of…

Let K be a field of positive characteristic p and KG the group algebra of a group G. It is known that, if KG is Lie nilpotent, then its upper (or lower) Lie nilpotency index is at most |G'|+1, where |G'| is the order of the commutator…

It is shown that if $G$ is a primitive permutation group on a set of size $n$, then any nilpotent quotient of $G$ has order at most $n^{\beta}$ and any solvable quotient of $G$ has order at most $n^{\alpha+1}$ where $\beta=\log 32/ \log 9$…

We compute the numbers g(n,2,2) of nilpotent groups of order n, of class at most 2 generated by at most 2 generators, by giving an explicit formula for the Dirichlet generating function \sum_{n=1}^\infty g(n,2,2)n^{-s}.

Let $\mathfrak{Nil}$ be the class of nilpotent groups. This article explores the finiteness of meta and para-$\mathfrak{Nil}$-Hamiltonian groups or their derived subgroups when these groups contain a soluble subgroup of finite index or a…
