In 1996 Jespers and Wang classified finite semigroups whose integral semigroup ring has finitely many units. In a recent paper, Iwaki-Juriaans-Souza Filho continued this line of research by partially classifying the finite semigroups whose…

Given a prime power $p^d$ with $p$ a prime and $d$ a positive integer, we classify the finite groups $G$ with $p^{2d}$ dividing $|G|$ in which all subgroups of order $p^d$ are complemented and the finite groups $G$ having a normal…

Applying the embedding of $A_{n-1}$ in $B_n$, $C_n$ and $D_n$ we construct a new supercharacter theory for the Sylow subgroups in orthogonal and symplectic groups over a finite field. The constructed supercharacter appears to be a little…

The groups of order 64p without a normal sylow p-subgroup are listed, and their automorphism groups are also determined. As a by-product of our original effort to get these groups, we needed to determine the automorphism groups of those…

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…

We use recurrence relations to derive explicit formulas for counting the number of subgroups of given order (or index) in rank 3 finite abelian p-groups and use these to derive similar formulas in few cases for rank 4. As a consequence, we…

We say that a finite group $G$ acting on a set $\Omega$ has Property $(*)_p$ for a prime $p$ if $P_\omega$ is a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G_\omega$ for all $\omega\in\Omega$ and Sylow $p$-subgroups $P$ of $G$. Property $(*)_p$ arose in the…

It is shown that the classification theorems for semisimple algebraic groups in characteristic zero can be derived quite simply and naturally from the corresponding theorems for Lie algebras by using a little of the theory of tensor…

Groups, in which every subgroup containing some fixed primary cyclic subgroup has a complement, are investigated.

Let $G$ be a finite solvable group. We show that $G$ does not have a normal nonabelian Sylow $p$-subgroup when its prime character degree graph $\Delta(G)$ satisfies a technical hypothesis.

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…

We construct a few supercharacter theories for finite semidirect products with the normal subgroup of algebra group type. In the case of algebra groups, these supercharacter theories coincide with the one of P.Diaconis and I.M.Isaaks. For…

Let G be a finite group with Sylow p-subgroup P. We show that the character table of G determines whether P has maximal nilpotency class and whether P is a minimal non-abelian group. The latter result is obtained from a precise…

For $S$ a Sylow $p$-subgroup of the group $\mathrm{G}_2(p)$ for $p$ odd, up to isomorphism of fusion systems, we determine all saturated fusion systems $\mathcal{F}$ on $S$ with $O_p(\mathcal{F})=1$. For $p \ne 7$, all such fusion systems…

We generalize the classical definition of effectively closed subshift to finitely generated groups. We study classical stability properties of this class and then extend this notion by allowing the usage of an oracle to the word problem of…

We classify Sylow $p$-subgroups of finite groups whose principal $p$-blocks have precisely six ordinary irreducible characters.

A semigroup is \emph{nilpotent} of degree 3 if it has a zero, every product of 3 elements equals the zero, and some product of 2 elements is non-zero. It is part of the folklore of semigroup theory that almost all finite semigroups are…

In earlier work, the first author outlined an algorithm for calculating a parametrization of the conjugacy classes in a Sylow $p$-subgroup $U(q)$ of a finite Chevalley group $G(q)$, valid when $q$ is a power of a good prime for $G(q)$. In…

We introduce a new class of transitive permutation groups which properly contains the automorphism groups of vertex-transitive graphs and digraphs. We then give a sufficient condition for a quotient of this family to remain in the family,…

Let $p$ be an odd prime. Denote a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $GL_2(\mathbb{Z}/p^n)$ and $SL_2(\mathbb{Z}/p^n)$ by $S_p(n,GL)$ and $S_p(n,SL)$ respectively. The theory of stable elements tells us that the mod-$p$ cohomology of a finite group is…
