In this paper, we study the structures of finite groups using some arithmetic conditions on the sizes of real conjugacy classes. We prove that a finite group is solvable if the prime graph on the real class sizes of the group is…

Let G be a unipotent algebraic subgroup of some GL_m(C) defined over Q. We describe an algorithm for finding a finite set of generators of the subgroup G(Z) = G \cap GL_m(Z). This is based on a new proof of the result (in more general form…

A cyclic subgroup $N$ of a finite group $G$ is called a uni-width subgroup of $G$ if $N$ is the unique cyclic subgroup of $G$ of order $|N|$. In this article, we prove that a finite group $G$ admits a unique largest uni-width subgroup…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $p^k$ be a prime power dividing $|G|$. A subgroup $H$ of $G$ is called to be $\mathcal{M}$-supplemented in $G$ if there exists a subgroup $K$ of $G$ such that $G=HK$ and $H_iK<G$ for every maximal subgroup…

In this note, we study the finite groups with the number of cylic subgroups no greater than 6.

Given a finite non-cyclic group $G$, call $\sigma(G)$ the smallest number of proper subgroups of $G$ needed to cover $G$. Lucchini and Detomi conjectured that if a nonabelian group $G$ is such that $\sigma(G) < \sigma(G/N)$ for every…

If $G$ is a nilpotent group and $[G,G]$ has Hirsch length $1$, then every f.g. submonoid of $G$ is boundedly generated, i.e. a product of cyclic submonoids. Using a reduction of Bodart, this implies the decidability of the submonoid…

A countable group is residually finite if every nontrivial element can act nontrivially on a finite set. When a group fails to be residually finite, we might want to measure how drastically it fails - it could be that only finitely many…

Groups definable in simple theories retain the chain conditions and decomposition properties known from stable groups, up to commensurability. In the small case, if a generic type of G is not foreign to some type q, there is a q-internal…

Consider a group G and a family $\mathcal{A}$ of subgroups of G. We say that vertex finiteness holds for splittings of G over $\mathcal{A}$ if, up to isomorphism, there are only finitely many possibilities for vertex stabilizers of minimal…

For a finite group $G$ we investigate the difference between the maximum size MaxDim$(G)$ of an "independent" family of maximal subgroups of $G$ and maximum size $m(G)$ of an irredundant sequence of generators of $G$. We prove that…

We prove that the isomorphism type of the subrack lattice of a finite group determines the nilpotence class. We analyze the problem of estimating the orders of the group elements corresponding to the atoms of the subrack lattice. As a…

Here we show that a finite nilpotent group is 2-closed if and only if it is either cyclic or a direct product of a generalized quaternion group with a cyclic group of odd order.

In a finite group, a subset is called a Lagrange subset if its size divides the group order, and a factor if it admits a complementary subset. We provide a new and comparatively direct proof of the classification of groups in which every…

This work establishes a new probabilistic bound on the number of elements to generate finite nilpotent groups. Let $\varphi_k(G)$ denote the probability that $k$ random elements generate a finite nilpotent group $G$. For any $0 < \epsilon <…

This article began as a study of the structure of infinite permutation groups G in which point stabilisers are finite and all infinite normal subgroups are transitive. That led to two variations. One is the generalisation in which point…

We give an algorithm that decides whether a single equation in a group that is virtually a class $2$ nilpotent group with a virtually cyclic commutator subgroup, such as the Heisenberg group, admits a solution. This generalises the work of…

Let $H$ be a subgroup of a group $G$. $H$ is said satisfying $\Pi$-property in $G$, if $|G/K:N_{G/K}(HK/K\cap L/K)|$ is a $\pi(HK/K\cap L/K))$-number for any chief factor $L/K$ of $G$, and, if there is a subnormal supplement $T$ of $H$ in…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $N_{\Omega}(G)$ be the intersection of the normalizers of all subgroups belonging to the set $\Omega(G),$ where $\Omega(G)$ is a set of all subgroups of $G$ which have some theoretical group property. In this…

Let $a$ be a non-invertible transformation of a finite set and let $G$ be a group of permutations on that same set. Then $\genset{G, a}\setminus G$ is a subsemigroup, consisting of all non-invertible transformations, in the semigroup…
