We construct an infinite word $w$ over the $5$-letter alphabet such that for every factor $f$ of $w$ of length at least two, there exists a cyclic permutation of $f$ that is not a factor of $w$. In other words, $w$ does not contain a…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $\pi$ be a set of primes. We show that if the number of conjugacy classes of $\pi$-elements in $G$ is larger than $5/8$ times the $\pi$-part of $|G|$ then $G$ possesses an abelian Hall $\pi$-subgroup which…

We prove that if $G$ is finite 2-generated $p$-group of nilpotence class at most 2 then the group algebra of $G$ with coefficients in the field with $p$ elements determines $G$ up to isomorphisms.

For any twisted conjugate quandle $Q$, and in particular any Alexander quandle, there exists a group $G$ such that $Q$ is embedded into the conjugation quandle of $G$.

Let $G$ be a finite group. K. Harada conjectured that the product of degrees of all irreducible characters of $G$ divides the product of lengths of all conjugacy classes of $G$. We verify this conjecture for finite general linear groups and…

We study the arithmetic and geometry properties of the Hecke group $G_q$. In particular, we prove that $G_q$ has a subgroup $X $ of index $d$, genus $g$ with $v_{\infty} $ cusps, and $\tau_2$ (resp. $v_{r_i}$) conjugacy classes of elements…

There is a well-known classification of conjugacy classes of involutions in finite Coxeter groups, in terms of subsets of nodes of their Coxeter graphs. In many cases, the product of an involution with the longest element is again an…

We establish the existence of two rigid triples of conjugacy classes in the algebraic group $G_{2}$ in characteristic $5$, complementing results of the second author with Liebeck and Marion. As a corollary, the finite groups $G_{2}(5^n)$…

Let $G$ be a real semisimple Lie group with trivial centre and no compact factors. Given a conjugate pair of either real hyperbolic elements or unipotent elements $a$ and $b$ in $G$ we find a conjugating element $g \in G$ such that…

In this paper, we resolve a conjecture of Green and Liebeck [Disc. Math., 343 (8):117119, 2019] on codes in $PGL(2,q)$. To be specific, we show that: if $D$ is a dihedral subgroup of order $2(q+1)$ in $G=PGL(2,q)$, and $A=\{g\in G: g^{q+1}=…

Let G be a group. Two elements x and y in G are said to be in the same z-class if their centralizers in G are conjugate within G. In this paper, we prove that the number of z-classes in the group of upper triangular matrices is infinite…

Let $q=2^f$, and let $G=\mathrm{SO}_8^+(q)$ and $U$ be a Sylow $2$-subgroup of $G$. We first describe the fusion of the conjugacy classes of $U$ in $G$. We then use this information to prove the unitriangularity of the $\ell$-decomposition…

Let $\F$ be a field with a non-trivial involution $c: \alpha \to \alpha^c$. An element $g \in {\rm GL}_n(\F)$ is called $c$-real if it is conjugate to $(g^c)^{-1}$. We prove that for $n \geq 2$, $g \in {\rm GL}_n(\F)$ is $c$-real if and…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $N$ a normal subgroup of $G$. We determine the structure of $N$ when the graph $\Gamma_G(N)$, which is the graph associated to the conjugacy classes of $G$ contained in $N$, has no triangles and when the graph…

We added an additional result (theorem 1.6) that strengthenns our main theorem in the G=GL-case by establishing an equivalence of tensor categories.

The product replacement algorithm is a practical algorithm to construct random elements of a finite group G. It can be described as a random walk on a graph whose vertices are the generating k-tuples of G (for a fixed k). We show that if G…

Let $G$ be a classical group defined over a finite field. We consider the following fundamental problems concerning conjugacy in $G$: 1. List a representative for each conjugacy class of $G$. 2. Given $x \in G$, describe the centralizer of…

Let $G$ be a supersolvable group and $A$ be a conjugacy class of $G$. Observe that for some integer $\eta(AA^{-1})>0$, $AA^{-1}=\{a b^{-1}\mid a,b\in A\}$ is the union of $\eta(AA^{-1})$ distinct conjugacy classes of $G$. Set ${\bf…

We determine, in an inductive framework, the vertices of the polytope $P(s,K)$ controlling the conjugacy classes of elements which product to one in the maximal compact subgroup $K$ of a simple complex algebraic group $G$. This extends…

Let G be a finite group. Define a relation ~ on the conjugacy classes of G by setting C ~ D if there are representatives c \in C and d \in D such that cd = dc. In the case where G has a normal subgroup H such that G/H is cyclic, two…
