On conjugacy class sizes of primary and biprimary elements of a finite group

Let m, n > 1 be two coprime integers. In this paper, we prove that a finite solvable group is nilpotent if the set of the conjugacy class sizes of its primary and biprimary elements is {1,m, n,mn}.     

On the normal subgroup with coprime <Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis>-conjugacy class sizes

Let N be a normal subgroup of a group G. The positive integers m and n are the two longest sizes of the non-central G-conjugacy classes of N with m > n and (m,n) = 1. In this paper, the structure of N is determined when n divides |N/N ∩ Z(G)|. Some known results are generalized.     

On the Normal Subgroup with Exactly Two G-Conjugacy Class Sizes

Let G be a finite group with a non-central Sylow r-subgroup R,Z(G) the center of G,and N a normal subgroup of.G.The purpose of this paper is to determine the structure of N under the hypotheses that N contains R and the G-conjugacy class size of every element of N is either 1 or m.Particularly,it is shown that N is Abelian if N ∩ Z(G)=1 and the Goeonjugacy class size of every element of N is either 1 or m.     

Normal integral bases and strict ray class groups modulo 4

Let F be a number field. We construct three tamely ramified quadratic extensions which are ramified at most at some given set of finite primes, such that K₃⊂K₁K₂, both K₁/F and K₂/F have normal integral bases, but K₃/F has no normal integral basis. Since Hilbert-Speiser's theorem yields that every finite and tamely ramified abelian extension over the field of rational numbers has a normal integral basis, it seems that this example is interesting (cf. [5] J. Number Theory 79 (1999) 164; Theorem 2). As we shall explain below, the previous papers (Acta Arith. 106 (2) (2003) 171-181; Abh. Math. Sem. Univ. Hamburg 72 (2002) 217-233) motivated the construction. We prove that if the class number of F is bigger than 1, or the strict ray class group of F modulo 4 has an element of order ?3, then there exist infinitely many triplets (K₁,K₂,K₃) of such fields.     

On finite groups whose every proper normal subgroup is a union of a given number of conjugacy classes

Let G be a finite group andA be a normal subgroup ofG. We denote by ncc(A) the number ofG-conjugacy classes ofA andA is calledn-decomposable, if ncc(A)= n. SetK _G = {ncc(A)|A ⊲ G}. LetX be a non-empty subset of positive integers. A groupG is calledX-decomposable, ifK _G =X. Ashrafi and his co-authors [1-5] have characterized theX-decomposable non-perfect finite groups forX = {1, n} andn ≤ 10. In this paper, we continue this problem and investigate the structure ofX-decomposable non-perfect finite groups, forX = {1, 2, 3}. We prove that such a group is isomorphic to Z₆, D₈, Q₈, S₄, SmallGroup(20, 3), SmallGroup(24, 3), where SmallGroup(m, n) denotes the mth group of ordern in the small group library of GAP [11].     

On Finite Simple Groups with the Set of Element Orders as in a Frobenius Group or a Double Frobenius Group

It is proved that a finite simple group with the set of element orders as in a Frobenius group (a double Frobenius group, respectively) is isomorphic to L₃(3) or U₃(3) (to U₃(3) or S₄(3), respectively).     

On the existence of solvable normal subgroups in finite groups

The structure of a finite group in dependence on the structure of the subgroups generated by elements of its conjugate class is considered. Translated fromMatematischeskie Zametki, Vol. 61, No. 5, pp. 755–758, May, 1997. Translated by A. I. Shtern     

On a Group Acting Locally Freely on an Abelian Group

A group acting on an abelian group is finite provided that it is generated by a class of conjugate elements such that every two elements of the class generate a finite subgroup that acts freely.     

The lattice of closure operators on a subgroup lattice

We say a lattice L is a subgroup lattice if there exists a group G such that Sub(G)?L, where Sub(G) is the lattice of subgroups of G, ordered by inclusion. We prove that the lattice of closure operators which act on the subgroup lattice of a finite group G is itself a subgroup lattice if and only if G is cyclic of prime power order.     

On a class of lattice subgroup functors

In the paper, continuummany natural transitive lattice subgroup functors corresponding to no hereditary lattice formation are constructed on the class of all finite groups. This result is an answer to Question 15.39 in “The Kourovka Notebook”, which was posed by the author and A. F. Vasil’ev in connection with their theorem claiming that, on the class of all solvable groups, all functors of this kind correspond to hereditary local lattice formations.     

On the set of discrete subgroups of bounded covolume in a semisimple group

In this noteG is a locally compact group which is the product of finitely many groups G_s(k_s)(s∈S), where k_s is a local field of characteristic zero and G_s an absolutely almost simplek _s-group, ofk _s-rank ≥1. We assume that the sum of the r_s is ≥2 and fix a Haar measure onG. Then, given a constantc > 0, it is shown that, up to conjugacy,G contains only finitely many irreducible discrete subgroupsL of covolume ≥c (4.2). This generalizes a theorem of H C Wang for real groups. His argument extends to the present case, once it is shown thatL is finitely presented (2.4) and locally rigid (3.2).
