A subgroup $H$ of a finite group $G$ is submodular in $G$ if there is a subgroup chain $H=H_0\leq\ldots\leq H_i\leq H_{i+1}\leq \ldots \leq H_n=G$ such that $H_i$ is a modular subgroup of $H_{i+1}$ for every $i$. We investigate finite…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $\pi$ be a set of primes. We study finite groups with a large number of conjugacy classes of $\pi$-elements. In particular, we obtain precise lower bounds for this number in terms of the $\pi$-part of the order…

Let $H$ be an abelian subgroup of a finite group $G$ and $\pi$ the set of prime divisors of $|H|$. We prove that $|H O_{\pi}(G)/ O_{\pi}(G)|$ is bounded above by the largest character degree of $G$. A similar result is obtained when $H$ is…

Let $\sigma =\{\sigma_{i} | i\in I\}$ be some partition of the set of all primes $\Bbb{P}$, $G$ a finite group and $\sigma (G) =\{\sigma_{i} |\sigma_{i}\cap \pi (G)\ne \emptyset \}$. A set ${\cal H}$ of subgroups of $G$ is said to be a…

For a residually finite group $G$, its normal subgroups $G\supset G_1\supset G_2\cdots$ with $\cap_{n\in\mathbb N}G_n=\{e\}$ and for a growth function $\gamma$ we construct a unitary representation $\pi_\gamma$ of $G$. For the minimal…

For a set of primes $\pi$, denote by $E_\pi$ the class of finite groups containing a Hall $\pi$-subgroup. We establish that $E_{\pi_1}\cap E_{\pi_2}$ is contained in $E_{\pi_1\cap\pi_2}$. As a corollary, we prove that if $\pi$ is a set of…

A finite group $G$ is called $\psi$-divisible if $\psi(H)|\psi(G)$ for any subgroup $H$ of $G$, where $\psi(H)$ and $\psi(G)$ are the sum of element orders of $H$ and $G$, respectively. In this paper, we extend a result provided in [10], by…

Let $\mathscr{F}$ be a formation and $G$ a finite group. The weak norm of a subgroup $H$ in $G$ with respect to $\mathscr{F}$ is defined by $N_{\mathscr{F}}(G,H)=\underset{T\leq H}{\bigcap}N_G(T^{\mathscr{F}})$. In particular,…

Let $\frak{F}$ be a class of finite groups. A subgroup $H$ of a finite group $G$ is said to be $\mathfrak{F_{\mathrm s}}$-quasinormal in $G$ if there exists a normal subgroup $T$ of $G$ such that $HT$ is $s$-permutable in $G$ and $(H\cap…

We define a Howe-Moore property relative to a set of subgroups. Namely, a group $G$ has the Howe-Moore property relative to a set $\mathcal{F}$ of subgroups if for every unitary representation $\pi$ of $G$, whenever the restriction of $\pi$…

A subgroup $H$ of a group $G$ is called {\it pronormal}, if for every $g\in G$ subgroups $H$ and $H^g$ are conjugate in $\langle H, H^g\rangle$. It is proven that if a finite group $G$ possesses a $\pi$-Hall subgroup for a set of primes…

It is well known that if $G$ is a group and $H$ is a normal subgroup of $G$ of finite index $k$, then $x^k \in H$ for every $x \in G$. We examine finite groups $G$ with the property that $x^k \in H$ for every subgroup $H$ of $G$, where $k$…

A finite group $G$ is said to be a $\mathcal{B}_{\psi}$-group if $\psi(H)<|G|$ for any proper subgroup $H$ of $G$, where $\psi(H)$ denotes the sum of element orders of $H$. In this paper, we characterize the $\mathcal{B}_{\psi}$-groups up…

This paper deals with combinatorial aspects of finite covers of groups by cosets or subgroups. Let $a_1G_1,...,a_kG_k$ be left cosets in a group $G$ such that ${a_iG_i}_{i=1}^k$ covers each element of $G$ at least $m$ times but none of its…

We say that a finite group $G$ satisfies the independence property if, for every pair of distinct elements $x$ and $y$ of $G$, either $\{x,y\}$ is contained in a minimal generating set for $G$ or one of $x$ and $y$ is a power of the other.…

A group $G$ admits an \textbf{\em $n$-partite digraphical representation} if there exists a regular $n$-partite digraph $\Gamma$ such that the automorphism group $\mathrm{Aut}(\Gamma)$ of $\Gamma$ satisfies the following properties:…

We consider the structure of finite $p$-groups $G$ having precisely three characteristic subgroups, namely $1$, $\Phi(G)$ and $G$. The structure of $G$ varies markedly depending on whether $G$ has exponent $p$ or $p^2$, and, in both cases,…

In the paper, it is proved that if a finite group $G$ possesses a $\pi$-Hall subgroup for a set $\pi$ of primes, then every normal subgroup $A$ of $G$ possesses a $\pi$-Hall subgroup $H$ such that ${G=AN_G(H)}$.

We introduce a new real valued invariant for finitely presented groups called residual deficiency. Its main property is the following. Let G be a finitely presented group. If the residual deficiency of G is greater than one, then G has a…

Let $\pi$ be a set of primes, and let $G$ be a finite $\pi$-separable group. We consider the Isaacs ${\rm B}_\pi$-characters. We show that if $N$ is a normal subgroup of $G$, then ${\rm B}_\pi (G/N) = {\rm Irr} (G/N) \cap {\rm B}_\pi (G)$.
