Let $F$ be a field of characteristic $p > 0$. We study the structure of the finite groups $G$ for which the socle of the center of $FG$ is an ideal in $FG$ and classify the finite $p$-groups $G$ with this property. Moreover, we give an…

It is known that a group G definable in the field of p-adic numbers is definably locally isomorphic to the group of Q_p-points of a connected algebraic group H defined over Q_p. We show that if H is commutative then G is…

For a prime $p$, we determine a Sylow $p$-subgroup $D$ of a finite group $G$ such that the principal $p$-block $B$ of $G$ has four irreducible ordinary characters. It has been determined already for the cases where the number is up to three…

We investigate the finite groups $G$ for which $\chi(1)^{2}=|G:Z(\chi)|$ for all characters $\chi \in Irr(G)$ and $|cd(G)|=2$. We obtain some alternate characterizations of these groups and we obtain some information regarding the structure…

Let $G$ be a $p$-group and let $\chi$ be an irreducible character of $G$. The codegree of $\chi$ is given by $|G:\text{ker}(\chi)|/\chi(1)$. This paper investigates the relationship between the nilpotence class of a group and the inclusion…

We characterize some classes of finite soluble groups. In particular, we prove that: a finite group $G$ is supersoluble if and only if $G$ has a normal subgroup $D$ such that $G/D$ is supersoluble and $D$ avoids every chief factor of $G$…

Let G be a semisimple group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>0. We give a (partly conjectural) simple, closed formula for the character of many indecomposable tilting rational G-modules, assuming that p is large.

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].

A subgroup $H$ of a finite group $G$ is called submodular in $G$, if we can connect $H$ with $G$ by a chain of subgroups, each of which is modular (in the sense of Kurosh) in the next. If a group $G$ is supersoluble and every Sylow subgroup…

Let $H$ be a subgroup of a group $G$. The permutizer $P_G(H)$ is the subgroup generated by all cyclic subgroups of $G$ which permute with $H$. A subgroup $H$ of a group $G$ is strongly permutable in $G$ if $P_U(H)=U$ for every subgroup $U$…

We present a characterisation of groups $G$ of order $p^7$, $p$ prime, in which not all elements of the commutator subgroup $\gamma_2(G)$ of $G$ are commutators in $G$. On the way we obtain several structural results on groups of order…

Let p be a prime. We prove that if a finite group G has non-abelian Sylow p-subgroups, and the class size of every p-element in G is coprime to p; then G contains a simple group as a subquotient which exhibits the same property. In addition…

We prove, for certain pairs G,G of finite groups of Lie type, that the p-fusion systems for G and G' are equivalent. In other words, there is an isomorphism between a Sylow p-subgroup of G and one of G' which preserves p-fusion. This…

Let $p$ be a an odd prime and let $G$ be a finite $p$-group with cyclic commutator subgroup $G'$. We prove that the exponent and the abelianization of the centralizer of $G'$ in $G$ are determined by the group algebra of $G$ over any field…

We describe the structure of Sylow {\ell}-subgroups of a finite reduc-tive group G(Fq) when q $\not\equiv$ 0 (mod {\ell}) that we find governed by a complex reflection group attached to G and {\ell}, which depends on {\ell} only through the…

The subgroup commutativity degree of a group G has been defined in [6] as the probability that two subgroups of G commute, or equivalently that the product of two subgroups is again a subgroup. Problem 4.3 of [6] asks whether there exist…

A p-local finite group consists of a finite p-group S, together with a pair of categories which encode ``conjugacy'' relations among subgroups of S, and which are modelled on the fusion in a Sylow p-subgroup of a finite group. It contains…

Let $G$ be a group and $H \le K \le G$. We say that $H$ is $c$-embedded in $G$ with respect to $K$ if there is a subgroup $B$ of $G$ such that $G = HB$ and $H \cap B \le Z(K)$. Given a finite group $G$, a prime number $p$ and a Sylow…

The character theory of finite groups has numerous basic questions that are often already quite involved: enumerating of irreducible characters, their character formulas, point-wise product decompositions, and restriction/induction between…

Let $G_p$ be the set of $p$-elements of a finite group $G$. Do we need all the Sylow $p$-subgroups of $G$ to cover $G_p$? Although this question does not have an affirmative answer in general, our work indicates that the answer is yes more…
