In this paper, we give upper bounds for K-finite and ${\mathfrak k}Let G be a semisimple Lie group with a finite number of connected components and a finite center. Let K be a maximal compact subgroup. Let X be a smooth G-space equipped with a G-invariant measure. In this paper, we give upper bounds for K-finite and \mathfrak k{\mathfrak k}-smooth matrix coefficients of the regular representation L ²(X) under an assumption about supp(L²(X)) ?[^(G)]_K{{\rm supp}(L^2(X)) \cap \hat G_K}. Furthermore, we show that this bound holds for unitary representations that are weakly contained in L ²(X). Our result generalizes a result of Cowling–Haagerup–Howe (J Reine Angew Math 387:97–110, 1988). As an example, we discuss the matrix coefficients of the O(p, q) representation L²(\mathbbR^p+q){L^2(\mathbb{R}^{p+q})}.     

On $$ \mathfrak{F}_h $$-normal subgroups of finite groups

Let G be a finite group, and let $ \mathfrak{F} $ \mathfrak{F} be a formation of finite groups. We say that a subgroup H of G is $ \mathfrak{F}_h $ \mathfrak{F}_h -normal in G if there exists a normal subgroup T of G such that HT is a normal Hall subgroup of G and (H ∩ T)H _G /H _G is contained in the $ \mathfrak{F} $ \mathfrak{F} -hypercenter $ Z_\infty ^\mathfrak{F} $ Z_\infty ^\mathfrak{F} (G/H _G ) of G/H _G . In this paper, we obtain some results about the $ \mathfrak{F}_h $ \mathfrak{F}_h -normal subgroups and then use them to study the structure of finite groups.     

An $ \mathfrak{X} $-crown of a finite soluble group

Let G be a finite soluble group and F_\mathfrakX(G) {\Phi_\mathfrak{X}}(G) an intersection of all those maximal subgroups M of G for which G

Local commensurability graphs of solvable groups

The commensurability index between two subgroups A,B of a group G is [A:A∩B][B:A∩B]. This gives a notion of distance among finite index subgroups of G, which is encoded in the p-local commensurability graphs of G. We show that for any metabelian group, any component of the p-local commensurabilty graph of G has diameter bounded above by 4. However, no universal upper bound on diameters of components exists for the class of finite solvable groups. In the appendix we give a complete classification of components for upper triangular matrix groups in GL(2,𝔽_q).     

Soluble minimal non-(finite-by-Baer)-groups

Let \mathfrakX{\mathfrak{X}} be a class of groups. A group G is called a minimal non- \mathfrakX{\mathfrak{X}}-group if it is not an \mathfrakX{\mathfrak{X}}-group but all of whose proper subgroups are \mathfrakX{\mathfrak{X}}-groups. In [16], Xu proved that if G is a soluble minimal non-Baer-group, then G/G ^′′ is a minimal non-nilpotent-group which possesses a maximal subgroup. In the present note, we prove that if G is a soluble minimal non-(finite-by-Baer)-group, then for all integer n ≥ 2, G/γ _n (G′) is a minimal non-(finite-by-abelian)-group.     

Zwei Klassen lokalkompakter maximal fastperiodischer Gruppen

In this paper we study the class of all locally compact groupsG with the property that for each closed subgroupH ofG there exists a pair of homomorphisms into a compact group withH as coincidence set, and the class of all locally compact groupG with the property that finite dimensional unitary representations of subgroups ofG can be extended to finite dimensional representations ofG. It is shown that [MOORE]-groups (every irreducible unitary representation is finite dimensional) have these two properties. A solvable group in is a [MOORE]-group. Moreover, we prove a structure theorem for Lie groups in the class [MOORE], and show that compactly generated Lie groups in [MOORE] have faithful finite dimensional unitary representations.     

$$\mathfrak{X}$$ - permutable subgrou ps and p-nil potency of finite grou ps II

Let be a complete set of Sylow subgroups of a finite group G, that is, for each prime p dividing the order of G, contains one and only one Sylow p-subgroup of G. A subgroup H of G is said to be -permutable in G if H permutes with every member of . In this paper we characterize p-nilpotency of finite groups G; we will assume that some minimal subgroups or 2-minimal subgroups of G are -permutable in G. Moreover, the duals of some recent results are obtained. Supported by the NSF of China(10571128) and the NSF of Colleges and Suzhou City Senior Talent Supporting Project.

On the number of conjugacy classes of a finite solvable group II

We prove that a finite solvable group G has at least (49p+1)/60 conjugacy classes whenever p is a prime such that p² divides the order of G. We also construct an infinite family of finite solvable groups, where this bound is attained.     

Palindromic Width of Finitely Generated Solvable Groups

We investigate the palindromic width of finitely generated solvable groups. We prove that every finitely generated 3-step solvable group has finite palindromic width. More generally, we show the finiteness of the palindromic width for finitely generated abelian-by-nilpotent-by-nilpotent groups. For arbitrary solvable groups of step ≥3, we prove that if G is a finitely generated solvable group that is an extension of an abelian group by a group satisfying the maximal condition for normal subgroups, then the palindromic width of G is finite. We also prove that the palindromic width of ??? with respect to the set of standard generators is 3.     

Two-step solvable Lie algebras and weight graphs

By using the concept of weight graph associated to nonsplit complex nilpotent Lie algebras \mathfrakg\mathfrak{g}, we find necessary and sufficient conditions for a semidirect product \mathfrakg?^? T_i\mathfrak{g}\overrightarrow{\oplus } T_{i} to be two-step solvable, where $T_{i}TT over \mathfrakg\mathfrak{g} which induces a decomposition of \mathfrakg\mathfrak{g} into one-dimensional weight spaces without zero weights. In particular we show that the semidirect product of such a Lie algebra with a maximal torus of derivations cannot be itself two-step solvable. We also obtain some applications to rigid Lie algebras, as a geometrical proof of the nonexistence of two-step nonsplit solvable rigid Lie algebras in dimensions n\geqslant 3n\geqslant 3.     

On subgroups of hypercentral type of finite groups

The main purpose of this paper is to analyze the influence on the structure of a finite group of some subgroups lying in the hypercenter. More precisely, we prove the following: Let \(\mathfrak{F}\) be a Baer-local formation. Given a group G and a normal subgroup E of G, let \(Z_\mathfrak{F} (G)\) contain a p-subgroup A of E which is maximal being abelian and of exponent dividing p ^k , where k is some natural number, k ≠ 1 if p = 2 and the Sylow 2-subgroups of E are non-abelian. Then E/O _p′ (E) ≤ \(Z_\mathfrak{F} \) (G/O _p′ (E)) (Theorem 1). Some well-known results turn out to be consequences of this theorem.     

Nonnormal and minimal nonabelian subgroups of a finite group

Let G be a finite p-group. If p = 2, then a nonabelian group G = Ω₁(G) is generated by dihedral subgroups of order 8. If p > 2 and a nonabelian group G = Ω₁(G) has no subgroup isomorphic to S_p²{\Sigma _{{p^2}}}, a Sylow p-subgroup of the symmetric group of degree p ², then it is generated by nonabelian subgroups of order p ³ and exponent p. If p > 2 and the irregular p-group G has < p nonabelian subgroups of order p ^p and exponent p, then G is of maximal class and order p ^p+1. We also study in some detail the p-groups, containing exactly p nonabelian subgroups of order p ^p and exponent p. In conclusion, we prove three new counting theorems on the number of subgroups of maximal class of certain type in a p-group. In particular, we prove that if p > 2, and G is a p-group of order > p ^p+1, then the number of subgroups ≅ ΣS_p²{\Sigma _{{p^2}}} in G is a multiple of p.     

On automorphisms of a class of special p-groups

Let G be a finite group of order n, for some n\geqq 1 n\geqq 1 , and p be an odd prime number. In [5] Verardi has constructed a special p-group P_G P_G of exponent p such that |P_G|=p³ⁿ |P_G|=p^{3n} . In this paper, we calculate the order of Aut(P_G) (P_G) and prove that Aut(P_G) (P_G) is the semidirect product of two subgroups.     

Sylow products and the solvable radical

We study products of Sylow subgroups of a finite group G. First we prove that G is solvable if and only if G = P₁ ... P_m for any choice of Sylow p_i-subgroups P_i , where p₁,..., p_m are all of the distinct prime divisors of |G|, and for any ordering of the p_i . Then, for a general finite group G, we show that the intersection of all Sylow products as above is a subgroup of G which is closely related to the solvable radical of G.

Finite groups with real conjugacy classes of prime size

We determine the structure of a finite group G whose noncentral real conjugacy classes have prime size. In particular, we show that G is solvable and that the set of the sizes of its real classes is one of the following: {1}, {1, 2}, {1, p}, or {1, 2, p}, where p is an odd prime.     

Groups Admitting an Automorphism of Prime Order with Finite Centralizer

We consider a group G with an automorphism of finite, usually prime, order. If G has finite Hirsch number, and also if G satisfies various stronger rank restrictions, we study the consequences and equivalent hypotheses of having only finitely many fixed-points. In particular we prove that if a group G with finite Hirsch number ${\mathfrak{h}}$ admits an automorphism ${\varphi}$ of prime order p such that ${\vert C_{G}(\varphi) \vert = n < \infty,}$ then G has a subgroup of finite index bounded in terms of p, n and ${\mathfrak{h}}$ that is nilpotent of p-bounded class.

Notes on NE-subgroups of finite groups

In this paper, we first analyze the structure of a finite nonsolvable group in which every cyclic subgroup of order 2 and 4 of every second maximal subgroup is an NE-subgroup. Next, we prove that a finite group G is solvable if every nonnilpotent subgroup of G is a PE-group.
