We show that for all $n\leq X$ apart from $O(X\exp(-c(\log X)^{1/2}(\log \log X)^{1/2}))$ exceptions, the alternating group $A_n$ is invariably generated by two elements of prime order. This answers (in a quantitative form) a question of…

We prove that every non-abelian finite simple group is generated by an involution and an element of prime order.

A finite group $G$ is coprimely-invariably generated if there exists a set of generators $\{g_1, \ldots, g_d\}$ of $G$ with the property that the orders $|g_1|, \ldots, |g_d|$ are pairwise coprime and that for all $x_1, \ldots, x_d \in G$…

The prime graph (or Gruenberg-Kegel graph) of a finite group $G$ is a familiar graph. In this paper first, we investigate the structure of the finite groups with a non-complete prime graph. Then we prove that every alternating group…

For every prime $p$, we construct an infinite countable group that contains precisely $p-1$ elements which are not $p$th powers.

For any prime number p and any positive real number {\alpha}, we construct a finitely generated group {\Gamma} with p-gradient equal to {\alpha}. This construction is used to show that there exist uncountably many pairwise non-commensurable…

Recent investigations on the set of commutators between the elements of a finite group having relatively prime orders have prompt us to propose a variant of the Ore conjecture: For every finite non-abelian simple group and for every $g\in…

We prove a general divisibility theorem that implies, e.g., that, in any group, the number of generating pairs (as well as triples, etc.) is a multiple of the order of the commutator subgroup. Another corollary says that, in any associative…

A subset S of a group G invariably generates G if G = <s^(g(s)) | s in S> for each choice of g(s) in G, s in S. In this paper we study invariable generation of infinite groups, with emphasis on linear groups. Our main result shows that a…

We show that the $p$-part of the degree of an irreducible character of a symmetric group is completely determined by the set of vanishing elements of $p$-power order. As a corollary we deduce that the set of zeros of prime power order…

We prove, for various important classes of Mealy automata, that almost all generated groups have an element of infinite order. In certain cases, it also implies other results such as exponential growth.

We obtain a classification of the finite two-generated cyclic-by-abelian groups of prime-power order. For that we associate to each such group $G$ a list $\inv(G)$ of numerical group invariants which determines the isomorphism type of $G$.…

We examine an elementary problem on prime divisibility of binomial coefficients. Our problem is motivated by several related questions on alternating groups.

A subset of a group invariably generates the group if it generates even when we replace the elements by any of their conjugates. In a 2016 paper, Pemantle, Peres and Rivin show that the probability that four randomly selected elements…

The space of n (ordered) points on the projective line, modulo automorphisms of the line, is one of the most important and classical examples of an invariant theory quotient, and is one of the first examples given in any course. Generators…

A subset $\left\{x_{1},x_{2},\hdots,x_{d}\right\}$ of a group $G$ \emph{invariably generates} $G$ if $\left\{x_{1}^{g_{1}},x_{2}^{g_{2}},\hdots,x_{d}^{g_{d}}\right\}$ generates $G$ for every $d$-tuple $(g_{1},g_{2}\hdots,g_{d})\in G^{d}$.…

We prove that the invariably generating graph of a finite group can have an arbitrarily large number of connected components with at least two vertices.

In this short paper we present an elementary proof of the infinitude of primes. Our proof is similar in spirit to Euler's proof that the reciprocals of primes diverges and only uses tools from elementary number theory and calculus. In…

In this short note we prove that, if $p$ is an odd prime dividing the order of a sporadic simple group, then with the exception of four groups for $p=3$, all sporadic simple groups are generated by an involution and an element of order $p$.

We prove that the alternating groups of degree at least $5$ are uniquely determined up to an abelian direct factor by the degrees of their irreducible complex representations. This confirms Huppert's Conjecture for alternating groups.
