We explore the notion of sectional number of a group homomorphism, leading to a generalization of the covering number of a group, and present several characterizations when the sectional number is finite, providing estimates for computing…

This thesis has three goals related to the automorphism groups of finite $p$-groups. The primary goal is to provide a complete proof of a theorem showing that, in some asymptotic sense, the automorphism group of almost every finite…

A finite group is called $\psi$-divisible iff $\psi(H)|\psi(G)$ for any subgroup $H$ of a finite group $G$. Here, $\psi(G)$ is the sum of element orders of $G$. For now, the only known examples of such groups are the cyclic ones of…

We determine the nature of the fixed point sets of groups of order p, acting on complexes of distinguished p-subgroups (those p-subgroups containing p-central elements in their centers). The case when G has parabolic characteristic p is…

We characterize finite $p$-groups $G$ of order up to $p^7$ for which the group of central automorphisms fixing the center element-wise is of minimum possibe order.

Let $p$ be a prime number, $G$ be a finite $p$-group and $K$ be a field of characteristic $p$. The Modular Isomorphism Problem (MIP) asks whether the group algebra $KG$ determines the group $G$. Dealing with MIP, we investigated a question…

Let G be a finite group and p a prime dividing its order. We define new collections of p-subgroups of G. We study the homotopy relations among them and with the standard collections of p-subgroups. We determine their ampleness and sharpness…

For any prime p we consider the density of elements in the multiplicative group of the finite field F_p having order, respectively index, congruent to a(mod d). We compute these densities on average, where the average is taken over all…

The power graph $\mathcal P_G$ of a finite group $G$ is the graph with the vertex set $G$, where two elements are adjacent if one is a power of the other. We first show that $\mathcal P_G$ has an transitive orientation, so it is a perfect…

We study the probability of a given element, in the commutator subgroup of a group, to be equal to a commutator of two randomly chosen group elements, and compute explicit formulas for calculating this probability for some interesting…

In this paper, we mainly give characterizations of EP elements in terms of equations. In addition, a related notion named a central EP element is defined and investigated. Finally, we focus on characterizations of a generalized EP element,…

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 $G$…

Let $G$ be a group. We give an explicit description of the set of elements $x \in G$ such that $x^{|G:H|} \in H$ for every subgroup of finite index $H \leqslant G$. This is related to the following problem: given two subgroups $H$ and $K$,…

Let $p$ be a fixed prime number. The main purpose of this paper is to introduce the notion of \textit{irreducible} $p$-local compact group, which provides a first reduction towards a classification of all $p$-local compact groups. In order…

Let G be a group which acts on a commutative ring k. We exhibit an induction formula which expresses an element x_G with tr_G(x_G)=1 by elements x_P with tr_P(x_P)=1, where P varies over prime order subgroups of P.

Let $G$ be a finite $p$-group such that $x\Z(G) \subseteq x^G$ for all $x \in G- \Z(G)$, where $x^G$ denotes the conjugacy class of $x$ in $G$. Then $|G|$ divides $|\Aut(G)|$, where $\Aut(G)$ is the group of all automorphisms of $G$.

A complex irreducible character of a finite group G is said to be p-constant, for some prime p dividing the order of G, if it takes constant value at the set of p-singular elements of G. In this paper we classify irreducible p-constant…

A pointed $p$-group is a pointed group $P_\gamma$ such that $P$ is a $p$-group. We parameterize the pointed $p$-groups on a group algebra or on a block algebra of a group algebra. The parameterization involves $p$-subgroups and irreducible…

A group element is called a generalized torsion if a finite product of its conjugates is equal to the identity. We prove that in a nilpotent or FC-group, the generalized torsion elements are all torsion elements. Moreover, we compute the…

In this report we summarize this work, all finite simple groups $G$ can determined uniformly using their orders $|G|$ and the set $\pi_e(G)$ of their element orders.
