For every non-nilpotent finite group $G$, there exists at least one proper subgroup $M$ such that $G$ is the setwise product of a finite number of conjugates of $M$. We define $\gamma_{\text{cp}}\left( G\right) $ to be the smallest number…

We study the nonabelian composition factors of a finite group $G$ assumed to admit an $\operatorname{Aut}(G)$-orbit of length at least $\rho|G|$, for a given $\rho\in\left(0,1\right]$. Our main results are the following: The orders of the…

In this paper, we proved that a group $G$ is supersoluble if and only if for any prime $p\in \pi (G)$ there exists a supersoluble subgroup of index $p$.

In this paper, we will show that if for every nonlinear complex irreducible character of a finite group G, some multiple of it is induced from an irreducible character of some proper subgroup of G, then G is solvable. This is a…

A subset S of a group G invariably generates G if G = <s^(g(s)) | s in S> for each choice of g(s) in G, s in S. In this paper we study invariable generation of infinite groups, with emphasis on linear groups. Our main result shows that a…

We study the finite solvable groups $G$ in which every real element has prime power order. We divide our examination into two parts: the case $\textbf{O}_2(G)>1$ and the case $\textbf{O}_2(G)=1$. Specifically we proved that if…

Let R be a finite unitary ring whose group of units is not solvable but all groups of units of all its proper subrings are solvable. In this paper we classify these rings and show that all finite rings of order $p^n$ for $n < 5$ and some of…

Given a group $G$, we write $x^G$ for the conjugacy class of $G$ containing the element $x$. A famous theorem of B. H. Neumann states that if $G$ is a group in which all conjugacy classes are finite with bounded size, then the derived group…

Let $G$ be a finite almost simple group with socle $G_0$. A (nontrivial) factorization of $G$ is an expression of the form $G=HK$, where the factors $H$ and $K$ are core-free subgroups. There is an extensive literature on factorizations of…

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…

Let $ H $ be a subgroup of a finite group $ G $. We say that $ H $ satisfies the $ \Pi $-property in $ G $ if for any chief factor $ L / K $ of $ G $, $ |G/K : N_{G/K}(HK/K\cap L/K )| $ is a $ \pi (HK/K\cap L/K) $-number. In this paper, we…

Let $G$ be a finite group, and let cs$(G)$ be the set of conjugacy class sizes of $G$. Recalling that an element $g$ of $G$ is called a \emph{vanishing element} if there exists an irreducible character of $G$ taking the value $0$ on $g$, we…

For a finite abelian group $G$ and a positive integer $h$, the unrestricted (resp.~restricted) $h$-critical number $\chi(G,h)$ (resp.~$\chi \hat{\;}(G,h)$) of $G$ is defined to be the minimum value of $m$, if exists, for which the $h$-fold…
