Let $G$ be a group. An automorphism of $G$ is called intense if it sends each subgroup of $G$ to a conjugate; the collection of such automorphisms is denoted by $\mathrm{Int}(G)$. In the special case in which $p$ is a prime number and $G$…

Given a finite group G, the bipartite divisor graph for its conjugacy class sizes is the bipartite graph with bipartition consisting of the set of conjugacy class sizes of G-Z (where Z denotes the centre of G) and the set of prime numbers…

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…

By using the structure and some properties of extraspecial and generalized/almost extraspecial $p$-groups, we explicitly determine the number of elements of specific orders in such groups. As a consequence, one may find the number of cyclic…

Let $\Gamma$ be an undirected and simple graph. A set $ S $ of vertices in $\Gamma$ is called a {cyclic vertex cutset} of $\Gamma$ if $\Gamma - S$ is disconnected and has at least two components each containing a cycle. If $\Gamma$ has a…

Let $D$ be a non-commutative division ring, $G$ a subnormal subgroup of ${\mathrm GL}_n(D)$. In this note we show that if $G$ contains a non-abelian solvable maximal subgroup, then $n=1$ and $D$ is a cyclic algebra of prime degree over $F$.

In this paper, we study the properties of the associated gyrogroup ${^\circ}G$ of a given group $G$ of nilpotency class $3$. We have proved that if $3$ does not divide the order of the group $G$, then the nilpotency class of the associated…

A group is called capable if it is a central factor group. We consider the capability of certain nilpotent products of cyclic groups, and obtain a generalisation of a theorem of Baer for the small class case. The approach may also be used…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $Irr(G)$ the set of irreducible complex characters of $G$. Let $e_p(G)$ be the largest integer such that $p^{e_p(G)}$ divides $\chi(1)$ for some $\chi \in Irr(G)$. We show that $|G:\mathbf{F}(G)|_p \leq p^{k…

We study conjugacy classes of solutions to systems of equations and inequations over torsion-free hyperbolic groups, and describe an algorithm to recognize whether or not there are finitely many conjugacy classes of solutions to such a…

We give here the exact maximal subgroup growth of two classes of polycyclic groups. Let $G_k = \langle x_1, x_2, ..., x_k \mid x_ix_jx_i^{-1}x_j \text{ for all } i < j \rangle$. So $G_k = \mathbb{Z} \rtimes (\mathbb{Z} \rtimes (\mathbb{Z}…

This note will give an enumeration of $n$-cycles in the symmetric group ${\mathcal S}_n$ by their degree (also known as their cyclic descent number) and studies similar counting problems for the conjugacy classes of $n$-cycles under the…

Let $G$ be a finite group. We consider the problem of counting simultaneous conjugacy classes of $n$-tuples and simultaneous conjugacy classes of commuting $n$-tuples in $G$. Let $\alpha_{G,n}$ denote the number of simultaneous conjugacy…

Let G be a connected reductive group over an algebraically closed field. We define a decomposition of G into finitely many strata such that each stratum is a union of conjugacy classes of fixed dimension; the strata are indexed by a set…

For a finite group $G$, let $a_n(G)$ be the number of subgroups of order $n$ and define $\zeta_G(s)=\sum_{n\ge 1} a_n(G)n^{-s}$. Examples are known of non-isomorphic finite groups with the same group zeta function. However, no general…

Let $H$ be an extension of a finite group $Q$ by a finite group $G$. Inspired by the results of duality theorems for \'etale gerbes on orbifolds, we describe the number of conjugacy classes of $H$ that maps to the same conjugacy class of…

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p$. The classification of the conjugacy classes of unipotent elements of $G(k)$ and nilpotent orbits of $G$ on $\operatorname{Lie}(G)$ is…

Let $\mathrm{Mod}(S_g)$ be the mapping class group of the closed orientable surface $S_g$ of genus $g\geq 2$. In this paper, we derive necessary and sufficient conditions under which two torsion elements in $\mathrm{Mod}(S_g)$ will have…

A group G is almost cyclic if there is an element x in G, such that for all g in G, there is an element y in G and an integer n with ygy^{-1} = x^n (that is, every element is conjugate to some power of x). W. Ziller asked whether there are…

Let $G$ be a finite group, and let $\kappa(G)$ be the probability that elements $g$, $h\in G$ are conjugate, when $g$ and $h$ are chosen independently and uniformly at random. The paper classifies those groups $G$ such that $\kappa(G) \geq…
