Finite groups in which every element has prime power order (EPPO-groups) are nowadays fairly well understood. For instance, if $G$ is a soluble EPPO-group, then the Fitting height of $G$ is at most 3 and $|\pi(G)|\leqslant 2$ (Higman,…

Two classic results, due to K. Doerk and P. Hall respectively, establish the solvability of those finite groups all of whose maximal subgroups are supersolvable, and the solvability of finite groups in which all maximal subgroups have prime…

Let G be a finitely presented group, and let p be a prime. Then G is 'large' (respectively, 'p-large') if some normal subgroup with finite index (respectively, index a power of p) admits a non-abelian free quotient. This paper provides a…

Let $G$ be an odd order nilpotent group with class 2 and $e$ denotes the exponent of its commutator subgroup. Let $e=p_1^{r_1}p_2^{r_2}... p_s^{r_s}$, where $p_i$'s are odd primes and $r_i$'s are non-negative integers. Then there are at…

Suppose that $G$ is a finite solvable group and let $H$ be a Hall $\pi$-subgroup, let $b(H)$ be the largest character degree of $H$, we show that $|G:O_{\pi' \pi}(G)|_{\pi} \leq b(H)^2$.

We study a conjecture by Deaconescu on the solubility of finite groups with claims that if more than half of the elements in a finite group has the same order $k$, then the group is soluble. We show that the original conjecture fails by…

Let $d$ be a positive integer. A finite group is called $d$-maximal if it can be generated by precisely $d$ elements, while its proper subgroups have smaller generating sets. For $d\in\{1,2\}$, the $d$-maximal groups have been classified up…

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 $F$.

A graph is called claw-free if it contains no induced subgraph isomorphic to the complete bipartite graph $K_{1, 3}$. The undirected power graph of a group $G$ has vertices the elements of $G$, with an edge between $g_1$ and $g_2$ if one of…

We show that for a typical high rank arithmetic lattice $\Gamma$, there exist finite index subgroups $\Gamma_{1}$ and $\Gamma_{2}$ such that $\Gamma_{1} \not\simeq \Gamma_{2}$ while $\widehat{\Gamma_{1}} \simeq \widehat{\Gamma_{2}}$. But…

For a finite group $G$, the vertices of the prime graph $\Gamma(G)$ are the primes that divide $|G|$, and two vertices $p$ and $q$ are connected by an edge if and only if there is an element of order $pq$ in $G$. Prime graphs of solvable…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $\sigma_1(G)=\frac{1}{|G|}\sum_{H\leq G}\,|H|$. In this paper, we prove that if $\sigma_1(G)<2+\frac{11}{|G|}$\,, then $G$ is supersolvable. In particular, some new characterizations of the well-known groups…

We study the groups $G$ with the curious property that there exists an element $k\in G$ and a function $f\colon G\to G$ such that $f(xk)=xf(x)$ holds for all $x\in G$. This property arose from the study of near-rings and input-output…

Let $H$ be a subgroup of a group $G$. We say that $H$ satisfies the power condition with respect to $G$, or $H$ is a power subgroup of $G$, if there exists a non-negative integer $m$ such that $H=G^{m}=<g^{m} | g \in G >$. In this note, the…

In this paper, we investigate finite solvable tidy groups. We classify the tidy $\{ p, q \}$-groups. Combining this with a previous result, we are able to characterize the finite tidy solvable groups. Using this characterization, we bound…

It is proved that finite nonabelian simple groups $S$ with $\max \pi(S)=37$ are uniquely determined by their order and degree pattern in the class of all finite groups.

We prove that every countable group with solvable power problem embeds into a finitely presented 2-generated group with solvable power and conjugacy problems.

The {\it prime graph} $\Gamma(G)$ of a finite group $G$ is the graph whose vertex set is the set of prime divisors of $|G|$ and in which two distinct vertices $r$ and $s$ are adjacent if and only if there exists an element of $G$ of order…

We study finite groups $G$ with the property that for any subgroup $M$ maximal in $G$ whose order is divisible by all the prime divisors of $|G|$, $M$ is supersolvable. We show that any nonabelian simple group can occur as a composition…

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…
