For $G$ a finite group, let $d_2(G)$ denote the proportion of triples $(x, y, z) \in G^3$ such that $[x, y, z] = 1$. We determine the structure of finite groups $G$ such that $d_2(G)$ is bounded away from zero: if $d_2(G) \geq \epsilon >…

In this short note, we provide an inequality that holds in any finite group, only involving the orders of the elements; we prove that equality holds if and only if the group is nilpotent.

We study the class of groups having the property that every non-nilpotent subgroup is equal to its normalizer. These groups are either soluble or perfect. We completely describe the structure of soluble groups and finite perfect groups with…

Assume G is a nilpotent group of class > 3 in which every proper subgroup has class at most 3. In this note, we give the exact upper bound of class of G.

A covering of a group is a finite set of proper subgroups whose union is the whole group. A covering is minimal if there is no covering of smaller cardinality, and it is nilpotent if all its members are nilpotent subgroups. We complete a…

Recently, Baumslag and Wiegold proved that a finite group $G$ is nilpotent if and only if $o(xy)=o(x)o(y)$ for every $x,y\in G$ of coprime order. Motivated by this result, we study the groups with the property that $(xy)^G=x^Gy^G$ and those…

Two finite groups $L_1$ and $L_2$ are compatible if there exists a finite group $G$ with isomorphic normal subgroups $N_1$ and $N_2$ such that $L_1\cong G/N_1$ and $L_2\cong G/N_2$. We prove a new sufficient condition for two groups to be…

Suppose that $G$ is a finite group and $H$ is a nilpotent subgroup of $G$. If a character of $H$ induces an irreducible character of $G$, then the generalized Fitting subgroup of $G$ is nilpotent.

Let $G$ be a finite group admitting a coprime automorphism $\alpha$. Let $J_G(\alpha)$ denote the set of all commutators $[x,\alpha]$, where $x$ belongs to an $\alpha$-invariant Sylow subgroup of $G$. We show that $[G,\alpha]$ is soluble or…

Let G be a finite group of nilpotency class 2 and w a group word. In this short paper we show that the probability that a random n-tuple of elements from G satisfies w is at least one over the order of G. This answers a special case of a…

We first show that every group-theoretical category is graded by a certain double coset ring. As a consequence, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for a group-theoretical category to be nilpotent. We then give an explicit…

For a group G and an element a in G let |a|_k denote the cardinality of the set of commutators [a,x_1,...,x_k], where x_1,...,x_k range over G. The main result of the paper states that a group G is finite-by-nilpotent if and only if there…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $M(G)$ be the subgroup of $G$ generated by all non-central elements of $G$ that lie in the conjugacy classes of the smallest size. Recently several results have been proved regarding the nilpotency class of…

The word $w=[x_{i_1},x_{i_2},\dots,x_{i_k}]$ is a simple commutator word if $k\geq 2, i_1\neq i_2$ and $i_j\in \{1,\dots,m\}$, for some $m>1$. For a finite group $G$, we prove that if $i_{1} \neq i_j$ for every $j\neq 1$, then the verbal…

If G is a non-nilpotent group and nil(G) = {g \in G : <g, h> is nilpotent for all h\in G}, the nilpotent graph of G is the graph with set of vertices G-nil(G) in which two distinct vertices are related if they generate a nilpotent subgroup…

Let $ n, q $ be positive integers. We show that if $ G $ is a finitely generated residually finite group satisfying the identity $ [x,_ny^q]\equiv 1, $ then there exists a function $ f(n) $ such that $ G $ has a nilpotent subgroup of finite…

Let $\Gamma_G$ denote a graph associated with a group $G$. A compelling question about finite groups asks whether or not a finite group $H$ must be nilpotent provided $\Gamma_H$ is isomorphic to $\Gamma_G$ for a finite nilpotent group $G$.…

Let $G$ be a finite group, let $p$ be a prime and let $w$ be a group-word. We say that $G$ satisfies $P(w,p)$ if the prime $p$ divides the order of $xy$ for every $w$-value $x$ in $G$ of $p'$-order and for every non-trivial $w$-value $y$ in…

Let G be a group and N be the class of nilpotent groups. A subset A of G is said to be nonnilpotent if for any two distinct elements a and b in A, ha, bi 62 N. If, for any other nonnilpotent subset B in G, |A| ? |B|, then A is said to be a…

For any group G, let C(G) denote the intersection of the normal- izers of centralizers of all elements of G. Set C0 = 1. Define Ci+1(G)=Ci(G) = C(G=Ci(G)) for i ? 0. By C1(G) denote the terminal term of the ascending series. In this paper,…
