A new characterization of L 2(r) by their Sylow numbers

Let G be a finite centerless group, let π(G) be the set of prime divisors of the order of G, and let np(G) be the number of Sylow p-subgroups of G, that is, n_p(G) = |Sylp(G)|. Set NS(G) := {n_p(G)| p ∈π(G)}. In this paper, we are investigating whether L_2(r) is determined up to isomorphism by NS(L_2(r)) when r is prime.     

Finite groups acting 2-transitively on their sylow subgroups

In this paper we have completely determined: (1) all almost simple groups which act 2-transitively on one of their sets of Sylow p-subgroups. (2) all non-abelian simple groups T whose automorphism group acts 2-transitively on one of the sets of Sylow p-subgroups of T. (3) all finite groups which are 2-transitive on all their sets of Sylow subgroups.

A characterization of the finite simple groups with set of indices of their maximal subgroups

We study the problem concerning the influence of indices of maximal subgroups of a simple group on the structure of a group. We obtain a characterization property of all finite simple groups.     

On g-s-supplemented subgroups of finite groups

A subgroup H of a group G is said to be g-s-supplemented in G if there exists a subgroup K of G such that HK⊴G and H ∩ K ⩽ H _sG , where H_sG is the largest s-permutable subgroup of G contained in H. By using this new concept, we establish some new criteria for a group G to be soluble.     

A characterization of finite simple groups by the orders of solvable subgroups

Let G be a finite group and S be a finite simple group. In this paper, we prove that if G and S have the same sets of all orders of solvable subgroups, then G is isomorphic to S, or G and S are isomorphic to Bn(q), Cn(q), where n≥3 and q is odd. This gives a positive answer to the problem put forward by Abe and Iiyori.

On the group with the same orders of Sylow normalizers as the finite projective special unitary group

In this paper we prove that a finite group G is isomorphic to the finite projective special unitary group Un(q) if and only if they have the same order of Sylow r-normalizer for every prime r.     

The average number of Sylow subgroups of a finite group

We prove that if the average Sylow number (ignoring the Sylow numbers that are one) of a finite group G is ?7, then G is solvable.     

G-covering systems of subgroups for the class of supersoluble groups

Let ? be a class of groups. Given a group G, assign to G some set of its subgroups Σ = Σ(G). We say that Σ is a G-covering system of subgroups for ? (or, in other words, an ?-covering system of subgroups in G) if G ∈ ? wherever either Σ = ? or Σ ≠ ? and every subgroup in Σ belongs to ?. In this paper, we provide some nontrivial sets of subgroups of a finite group G which are G-covering subgroup systems for the class of supersoluble groups. These are the generalizations of some recent results, such as in [1–3].     

A criterion for subnormality of subgroups in finite groups

Based on Wielandt’s criterion for subnormality of subgroups in finite groups, we study 2-maximal subgroups of finite groups and present another subnormality criterion in finite solvable groups.     

2-Cohomologies of the groups SL(n, q)

Let G = SL(n, q), where q is odd, V be a natural module over G, and L = S²(V) be its symmetric square. We construct a 2-cohomology group H²(G, L). The group is one-dimensional over F _q if n = 2 and q ≠ 3, and also if (n, q) = (4, 3). In all other cases H²(G, L) = 0. Previously, such groups H²(G, L) were known for the cases where n = 2 or q = p is prime. We state that H²(G, L) are trivial for n ⩾ 3 and q = p^m, m ⩾ 2. In proofs, use is made of rather elementary (noncohomological) methods. __________ Translated from Algebra i Logika, Vol. 47, No. 6, pp. 687–704, November–December, 2008.

Carter subgroups of finite almost simple groups

In the paper we work to complete the classification of Carter subgroups in finite almost simple groups. In particular, it is proved that Carter subgroups of every finite almost simple group are conjugate. Based on our previous results, together with those obtained by F. Dalla Volta, A. Lucchini, and M. C. Tamburini, as a consequence we derive that Carter subgroups of every finite group are conjugate.

On the Conjugacy problem for Carter subgroups

We prove that the Carter subgroups of a finite group are conjugate if so are the Carter subgroups of the group of induced automorphisms for every nonabelian composition factor.
