We have classified, upto isoclinism, certain groups with a given central factor. As an application, we classify, upto isoclinism, groups having at the most nine element centralizers. Among other results of independent interest, we have…
This papers studies centralizers of an element, $a$, in the nucleus of a non-associative algebra with a special type of valuation. We prove that the centralizer of $a$ is a free module of finite rank over the algebra generated by $a$.
Let $G$ be a finite group having a normal $p$-subgroup $N$ that contains its centralizer $\text{C}_{G}(N)$, and let $R$ be a $p$-adic ring. It is shown that any finite $p$-group of units of augmentation one in $RG$ which normalizes $N$ is…
Recent results of Qu and Tuarnauceanu describe explicitly the finite p-groups which are not elementary abelian and have the property that the number of their subgroups is maximal among p-groups of a given order. We complement these results…
We determine all finite subgroups of simple algebraic groups that have irreducible centralizers - that is, centralizers whose connected component does not lie in a parabolic subgroup.
Consider a nonsolvable finite group G, where R(G) represents the solvable radical of G. For any element x in G, the solvabilizer of x in G, denoted by Sol_G(x), is defined as the set of all elements y in G such that the subgroup generated…
It is a well known result in the covering groups that a subgroup $G$ of the fundamental group at the identity of a semi-locally simply connected topological group determines a covering morphism of topological groups with characteristic…
In this paper, we study the action of finite subgroups of the mapping class group of a surface on the curve complex. We prove that if the diameter of the almost fixed point set of a finite subgroup H is big enough, then the centralizer of H…
We show that for soluble groups of type FPn, centralisers of finite subgroups need not be of type FPn.
Presenting a finite group by a free product of finite cyclic groups the Hopf formula for the Schur multiplier affords also a covering group, and this has minimal exponent provided that the order of the generators is preserved. This…
In this paper, among other results, we give some sufficient conditions for every non-abelian subgroup of a group to be isoclinic with the group itself. It is also seen that under certain conditions, two groups have same number of element…
This paper provides a bridge between two active areas of research, the spectrum (set of element orders) and the power graph of a finite group. The order sequence of a finite group $G$ is the list of orders of elements of the group, arranged…
Two elements in a group $G$ are said to $z$-equivalent or to be in the same $z$-class if their centralizers are conjugate in $G$. In \cite{kkj}, it was proved that a non-abelian $p$-group $G$ can have at most $\frac{p^k-1}{p-1} +1$ number…
A \emph{finite cover} of a group $G$ is a finite collection $\mathcal{C}$ of proper subgroups of $G$ with the property that $\bigcup \mathcal{C} = G$. A finite group admits a finite cover if and only if it is noncyclic. More generally, it…
A group is said to be capable if it is the central factor of some group. In this paper, among other results we have characterized capable groups of order $p^2q$, for any distinct primes $p, q$, which extends Theorem 1.2 of S. Rashid, N. H.…
We examine $p$-groups with the property that every non-normal subgroup has a normalizer which is a maximal subgroup. In particular we show that for such a $p$-group $G$, when $p=2$, the center of $G$ has index at most 16 and when $p$ is odd…
This paper examines order three elements of finite groups which normalize no nontrivial 2-subgroup. The motivation for finding such elements arises out of a problem in modular representation theory. The question of when these elements…
Let $p$ be a an odd prime and let $G$ be a finite $p$-group with cyclic commutator subgroup $G'$. We prove that the exponent and the abelianization of the centralizer of $G'$ in $G$ are determined by the group algebra of $G$ over any field…
The c-dimension of a group G is the maximal length of a chain of nested centralizers in G. We prove that a locally finite group of finite c-dimension k has less than 5k nonabelian composition factors.
Over any partially ordered abelian group whose positive cone is closed in an appropriate sense and has finitely many faces, modules that satisfy a weak finiteness condition admit finite primary decompositions. This conclusion rests on the…
