Let $\pi$ be a set of primes. By H.Wielandt definition, {\it Sylow $\pi$-theorem} holds for a finite group $G$ if all maximal $\pi$-subgroups of $G$ are conjugate. In the paper, the following statement is proven. Assume that $\pi$ is a…

In this paper we study the ratio between the number of $p$-elements and the order of a Sylow $p$-subgroup of a finite group $G$. As well known, this ratio is a positive integer and we conjecture that, for every group $G$, it is at least the…

We describe a very general abstract form of sieve based on a large sieve inequality which generalizes both the classical sieve inequality of Montgomery (and its higher-dimensional variants), and our recent sieve for Frobenius over function…

We consider the question whether a Sylow like theorem is valid in the normalized units of integral group rings of finite groups. After a short survey on the known results we show that this is the case for integral group rings of Frobenius…

Suppose $p$ is a prime and $S$ is a Sylow $p$-subgroup of a finite group $G$. If $S$ is normal in $G$, then $Z(S)$ is the direct product of $S \cap Z(G)$ with $[Z(S), G]$. We prove an analogous result for all groups except in some cases…

Suppose that the finite group $G=AB$ is a mutually permutable product of two subgroups $A$ and $B$. By using Sylow numbers of $A$ and $B$, we present some new bounds of the $p$-length $l_p(G)$ of a $p$-solvable group $G$ and the nilpotent…

In this paper, we show that each finite group $G$ containing at most $p^2$ Sylow $p$-subgroups for each odd prime number $p$, is a solvable group. In fact, we give a positive answer to the conjecture in \cite{Rob}.

In this short note we give a formula for the number of chains of subgroups of a finite elementary abelian $p$-group. This completes our previous work [5].

In this article, we shall generalize a theorem due to Frobenius in group theory, which asserts that if $p$ is a prime and $p^{r}$ divides the order of a finite group, then the number of subgroups of order $p^{r}$ is $\equiv$ 1(mod $p$).…

We prove the conjugacy of Sylow $p$-subgroups of linear pseudofinite groups under the assumption of the existence of a finite Sylow $p$-subgroup. We also give an example of a linear pseudofinite group with non-conjugate Sylow $2$-subgroups.

For a prime p, we call a positive integer n a Frobenius p-number if there exists a finite group with exactly n subgroups of order p^a for some $a\ge 0$. Extending previous results on Sylow's theorem, we prove in this paper that every…

Let $p$ be a prime number, $G$ be a $p$-solvable finite group and $P$ be a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G$. We prove that $G$ is $p$-supersolvable if $N_G(P)$ is $p$-supersolvable and if there is a subgroup $H$ of $P$ with $P' \le H \le \Phi(P)$…

In this paper, we focus on Oliver's $p$-group conjecture. We use elementary method to prove that Oliver's $p$-group conjecture holds for Sylow $p$-subgroups of unitary groups.

We give a large sieve type inequality for functions supported on primes. As application we prove a conjecture by Elliott, and give bounds for short character sums over primes. The proves uses a combination of the large sieve and the Selberg…

Let G be a finite non-abelian simple group and let p be a prime. We classify all pairs (G,p) such that the sum of the complex irreducible character degrees of G is greater than the index of a Sylow p-subgroup of G. Our classification…

We consider a finite group $G$ with a normal subgroup $N$ so that all elements of $G \setminus N$ have prime power order. We prove that if there is a prime $p$ so that all the elements in $G \setminus N$ have $p$-power order, then either…

A general sieve method for groups is formulated. It enables one to "measure" subsets of a finitely generated group. As an application we show that if $\Gamma$ is a finitely generated non virtually-solvable linear group of characteristic…

The Sylow graph $\Gamma(G)$ of a finite group $G$ originated from recent investigations on the so--called $\mathbf{N}$--closed classes of groups. The connectivity of $\Gamma(G)$ was proved only few years ago, involving the classification of…

Denote by $\nu_p(G)$ the number of Sylow $p$-subgroups of $G$. It is not difficult to see that $\nu_p(H)\leq\nu_p(G)$ for $H\leq G$, however $\nu_p(H)$ does not divide $\nu_p(G)$ in general. In this paper we reduce the question whether…

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $p$ be a prime. In this paper, we study the structure of finite groups with a large number of $p$-regular conjugacy classes or, equivalently, a large number of irreducible $p$-modular representations. We…
