Let $G$ be a finite group and $\sigma_1(G)=\frac{1}{|G|}\sum_{H\leq G}\,|H|$. Under some restrictions on the number of conjugacy classes of (non-normal) maximal subgroups of $G$, we prove that if $\sigma_1(G)<\frac{117}{20}\,$, then $G$ is…

It is shown that a closed solvable subgroup of a connected Lie group is compactly generated. In particular, every discrete solvable subgroup of a connected Lie group is finitely generated. Generalizations to locally compact groups are…

Let $\chi$ be an irreducible character of a group $G,$ and $S_c(G)=\sum_{\chi\in {\rm Irr}(G)}{\rm cod}(\chi)$ be the sum of the codegrees of the irreducible characters of $G.$ Write ${\rm fcod} (G)=\frac{S_c(G)}{|G|}.$ We aim to explore…

In 1968, John Thompson proved that a finite group G is solvable if and only if every 2-generator subgroup of G is solvable. In this paper, we prove that solvability of a finite group G is guaranteed by a seemingly weaker condition: G is…

Let $V$ be a finite vector space over a finite field of order $q$ and of characteristic $p$. Let $G\leq GL(V)$ be a $p$-solvable completely reducible linear group. Then there exists a base for $G$ on $V$ of size at most $2$ unless $q \leq…

The set of finitely generated subgroups of the group $PL_+(I)$ of orientation-preserving piecewise-linear homeomorphisms of the unit interval includes many important groups, most notably R.~Thompson's group $F$. In this paper we show that…

Let $G$ be a finite group, and let $d$ be the degree of an irreducible character of $G$ such that $|G|=d(d+e)$ for some $e>1$. Consider the case when $G$ is solvable, $d$ is square-free, and $(d,d+e)=1$. We wish to explore an equivalent…

Let $ x $ be an element of a finite group $ G $ and denote the order of $ x $ by $ \mathrm{ord}(x) $. We consider a finite group $ G $ such that $ \gcd(\mathrm{ord}(x),\mathrm{ord}(y))\leqslant 2 $ for any two vanishing elements $ x $ and $…

For any $n$ nonnegative integer a family of groups, denoted by $ \mathcal{D}_n $, was introduce by Bianchi et al., as the collection of all finite groups with exactly $n$ conjugacy classes of nontrivial, non self-normalizing subgroups. It…

For any group G, let C(G) denote the set of centralizers of G. We say that a group G has n centralizers (G is a Cn-group) if |C(G)| = n. In this note, we prove that every finite Cn-group with n ? 21 is soluble and this estimate is sharp.…

In this paper we explore the structure and properties of C-groups. We define a C-group as a group $G$ with $rk(G) < rk(Z(G))$ (where $rk(G)$ is the minimal cardinal of a generating set for a group $G$). Using GAP (a group theory program)…

In this article we prove results about finite soluble groups that act with fixity 2 or 3.

Let G be a finitely generated linear group over a field of characteristic 0. Suppose that every solvable subgroup of G is polycyclic. Then the claim is made that any solvable subgroup of G is separable. This is proven for G=SL_n(Z).…

Let G be a finite group. Denote by \psi(G) the sum \psi(G)=\sum_{x\in G}|x| where |x| denotes the order of the element x, and by o(G) the quotient o(G)=\frac{\psi(G)}{|G|}. Confirming a conjecture posed by E.I. Khukhro, A. Moreto and M.…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $\sigma_1(G)=\frac{1}{|G|}\sum_{H\leq G}\,|H|$. In this note, we prove that if $\sigma_1(G)<\frac{117}{20}$, then $G$ is solvable. Moreover, we have $\sigma_1(G)=\frac{117}{20}$ if and only if $G\cong A_5$.…

We prove that for any finite group G, the sum across non-identity elements of the squared absolute value of any generalized character of G which does not vanish on all non-identity elements of G is at least |G|/d -1, where d is the maximal…

We investigate the structure of finite groups whose non-central real class sizes have the same $2$-part. In particular, we prove that such groups are solvable and have $2$-length one. As a consequence, we show that a finite group is…

A group $G$ is invariably generated by a subset $S$ of $G$ if $G= s^{g(s)} \mid s\in S$ for each choice of $g(s) \in G$, $s \in S$. Answering two questions posed by Kantor, Lubotzky and Shalev, we prove that the free prosoluble group of…

Let $\Gamma(G)$ be the Gruenberg-Kegel graph of a finite group $G$. We prove that if $G$ is solvable and $\sigma$ is a cut-set for $\Gamma(G)$, then $G$ has a $\sigma$-series of length $5$ whose factors are controlled. As a consequence, we…

In this paper, we provide new criteria for the solvability and supersolvability of a finite group based on its number of cyclic subgroups. A finite group G is called n-cyclic if it contains n cyclic subgroups. This paper also partially…
