We call a finite group irrational if none of its elements is conjugate to a distinct power of itself. We prove that those groups are solvable and describe certain classes of these groups, where the above property is only required for…

For a finite group $G$, let $N(G)$ denote the set of conjugacy class sizes of $G$. We show that if every finite group $G$ with trivial center such that $N(G)$ equals to $N(Alt_n)$, where $n>1361$ and at least one of numbers $n$ or $n-1$ are…

Many results have been established that show how arithmetic conditions on conjugacy class sizes affect group structure. A conjugacy class in $G$ is called vanishing if there exists some irreducible character of $G$ which evaluates to zero…

For the finite groups GU(3), SU(3), GL(3), SL(3) over a finite field we solve the class product problem, i.e., we give a complete list of $m$-tuples of conjugacy classes whose product does not contain the identity matrix.

This paper continues the study of two numbers that are associated with Lie groups. The first number is $N(G,m)$, the number of conjugacy classes of elements in $G$ whose order divides $m$. The second number is $N(G,m,s)$, the number of…

Let $G$ be a finite group. Then we denote $\psi(G) = \sum_{x\in G}o(x)$ where $o(x)$ is the order of the element $x$ in $G$. In this paper we characterize some finite $p$-groups ($p$ a prime) by $\psi$ and their orders.

We prove the Arad-Herzog conjecture for various families of finite simple groups- if A and B are nontrivial conjugacy classes, then AB is not a conjugacy class. We also prove that if G is a finite simple group of Lie type and A and B are…

The conjugacy problem in braid groups has been extensively studied, particularly from an algorithmic perspective. Established methods based on Garside structures, such as initial summit sets and super summit sets, provide effective…

Given a group $G$, we write $x^G$ for the conjugacy class of $G$ containing the element $x$. A famous theorem of B. H. Neumann states that if $G$ is a group in which all conjugacy classes are finite with bounded size, then the derived group…

A p-local finite group consists of a finite p-group S, together with a pair of categories which encode ``conjugacy'' relations among subgroups of S, and which are modelled on the fusion in a Sylow p-subgroup of a finite group. It contains…

In this paper, we count the number of conjugacy and automorphism-conjugacy classes of elements of a ZM-group. The size of a conjugacy class with respect to these two equivalence relations is also counted.

Pro-$p$ groups of finite powerful class are studied. We prove that these are $p$-adic analytic, and further describe their structure when their powerful class is small. It is also shown that there are only finitely many finite $p$-groups of…

We characterize the group property of being with infinite conjugacy classes (or icc, in which all conjugacy classes beside 1 are infinite) for extensions of some specific groups ; namely extensions of abelian, centerless, icc, or word…

Let p be a prime number. Let G be a finite p-group and $\chi \in Irr(G)$. Denote by $\bar{\chi} \in Irr(G)$ the complex conjugate of $\chi$. Assume that $\chi(1)=p^n$. We show that the number of distinct irreducible constituents of the…
