The commutativity degree of a finite group is the probability that two randomly chosen group elements commute. The main object of this paper is to obtain a characterization for all finite groups of odd order with commutativity degree…

Separability for groups refers to the question which subsets of a group can be detected in its finite quotients. Classically, separability is studied in terms of which classes have a certain separability property, and this question is…

This paper develops links between the Burnside ring of a finite group $G$ and the slice Burnside ring}. The goal is to gain a better understanding of ghost maps, idempotents, prime spectrum of these Burnside rings and connections between…

By a proper cover of a finite group G we mean an extension of a nontrivial finite group by G. Our purpose is to show that a proper cover of a finite simple group L of Lie type always contains an element whose order differs from the element…

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…

Various descending chains of subgroups of a finite permutation group can be used to define a sequence of `basic' permutation groups that are analogues of composition factors for abstract finite groups. Primitive groups have been the…

In this note we study a class of finite groups for which the orders of subgroups satisfy a certain inequality. In particular, characterizations of the well-known groups $\mathbb{Z}_2\times\mathbb{Z}_2$ and $S_3$ are obtained.

We classify finite groups with a small average number of zeros in the character table.

In this paper, we introduce a new function computing the harmonic mean of element orders of a finite group. We present a series of properties for this function, and then we study groups for which the value of the function is an integer.

In this paper, we characterize the finite groups $G$ of even order with the property that for any involution $x$ and element $y$ of $G$, $\langle x, y \rangle$ is isomorphic to one of the following groups: $\mathbb{Z}_2,$ $\mathbb{Z}_2^2$,…

All finite simple groups are determined with the property that every Galois orbit on conjugacy classes has size at most 4. From this we list all finite simple groups $G$ for which the normalized group of central units of the integral group…

In this paper we describe all the finite almost simple groups whose Gruenberg--Kegel graphs coincide with Gruenberg--Kegel graphs of finite solvable groups.

The spectrum of a periodic group $G$ is the set $\omega(G)$ of its element orders. Consider a group $G$ such that $\omega(G)=\omega(A_7)$. Assume that $G$ has a subgroup $H$ isomorphic to $A_4$, whose involutions are squares of elements of…

The prime graph of a finite group $G$ is the labelled graph $\Gamma(G)$ with vertices the prime divisors of $|G|$ and edges the pairs $\{p,q\}$ for which $G$ contains an element of order $pq$. A group $G$ is recognisable by its prime graph…

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

Let $G$ be a finite group. A proper subgroup $H$ of $G$ is said to be large if the order of $H$ satisfies the bound $|H|^3 \ge |G|$. In this note we determine all the large maximal subgroups of finite simple groups, and we establish an…

The isoperimeric spectrum consists of all real positive numbers $\alpha$ such that $O(n^\alpha)$ is the Dehn function of a finitely presented group. In this note we show how a recent result of Olshanskii completes the description of the…

We show that a finite group which admits a faithful, smooth, orientation-preserving action on a homology 4-sphere, and in particular on the 4-sphere, is isomorphic to a subgroup of the orthogonal group SO(5), by explicitly determining the…

We study the realization problem of finite groups as the group of homotopy classes of self-homotopy equivalences of finite spaces. Let $G$ be a finite group. Using an infinite family of pairwise non weakly homotopic asymmetric spaces we…

This article investigates the properties of order-divisor graphs associated with finite groups. An order-divisor graph of a finite group is an undirected graph in which the set of vertices includes all elements of the group, and two…
